		Not only was it the crowded commercial center, but it was increasingly rich, for one of the trends of the period was that commerce grew and wealth passed into the hands of the commercial classes.
		It was fitting that in the Meiji period Nihonbashi saw the rise of modern retailing like Mitsukoshi, but it also was the center of modern banking.
		Pregnant women should go to Nihonbashi's Ningyo-cho ('Doll District') to the Suitengu shrine to receive protective amulets for the unborn baby and a long strip of white cotton to be wrapped around the stomach for health and protection.

		Nihonbashi presents many conflicting images of itself: it is a symbolic site of commerce and history, still one of Japan's most active business centers, yet has become overwhelmed in recent decades by an unremarkable and ultimately disposable built environment.
		The ‘timescape’ is a device to evaluate the duration of the existing built form of Nihonbashi.
		The key goals for implementing change in Nihonbashi are to protect and preserve historic ‘anko’ areas, to reinforce and reveal the historical significance of Nihonbashi, to finance the new riverfront public areas, and to mobilize private development at a scale, character and mix of use commensurate with public needs.

	Old Tokyo - Nihonbashi District
		One-hundred years ago, Nihonbashi, named for the famous bridge within the district, had a marketplace atmosphere about it, going back to its halycon days of fish and wholesale markets — which remained until after 1923 when city authorities relocated the last of the fishmongers to Tsukiji.
		Imperial and artistocratic financial matters gained importance in Nihonbashi when, after the completion of the Nippon Ginko (Bank of Japan) treasury, the national mint was moved to the district in 1896.
		The national mint was relocated to Nihonbashi in 1896 and with it came the national bank, joining several other existing private banks and lending houses already in Nihonbashi.

		Nihonbashi was the starting point of all 5 official routes during the Edo (Tokygawa) era (1603-1868), and the district was one of the busiest spots in Japan.
		.....Nihonbashi is the starting point for travel along the Tokaido Highway..With the big castle gate in the foreground wide open, a DAIMYO feudal lord's proccession comes across the bridge led by footmen carrying HASAMI-BAKO (daimyo's lacquered traveling boxes) and twirling decorative halberds..
		These travelers start early in the morning at 7, which is 4 am today time...In sharp contrast to the brisk movements of the somewhat tense-looking fishermen returning from the fish market, who hastly make way for the proccession, the whole town, including its fire lookouts seems to be still asleep in the morning glow.....
