Asakusa Tower and theatres

Egawa Taiseikan, famous for its girls doing acrobatics on balance balls. Some of the girls are looking out onto the street. Formerly rice paddies owned by Sensoji Temple, the Asakusa Sixth District was filled in with soil from the digging of Oike in 1883 and became the largest entertainment district in Japan after the mid-Meiji Period. The tower in the background is Ryounkaku, also called Asakusa Junikai (Twelve Stories). An introduction to the tower is written on the white signboard to the right. This stereograph dates from 1904.==Date:1904, Place:Tokyo, Photo:Underwood, (Credit:Nagasaki University Library/Kyodo News Images) [Cabinet Number97‐68‐0]
