"Showa Style: Reorganized Architectural Photo Library (Commercial Facilities)" is a re-edited edition by Japanese editor Kyoichi Tsuzuki (1956-). Tsuzuki has uncovered urban culture and subculture from his unique perspective through the editing of magazines and photobooks, and is known for his works such as "TOKYO STYLE" and "Travels in Japan." This extensive work is a compilation of 79 volumes on commercial facilities excerpted and reorganized from the 145-volume "Architectural Photo Library" published between 1953 and 1970. It comprehensively covers architecture from the period, including department stores, movie theaters, restaurants, and shopping arcades. The numerous storefront buildings reflecting modern design and the momentum of postwar reconstruction are brought to life with photographs from the time, vividly conveying the spirit of Showa-era urban culture. This volume goes beyond mere architectural documentation to allow readers to experience the landscapes of daily life and the atmosphere of the era, making it an essential resource for reconsidering Showa-era design and urban culture.
