Spring's 4-Chome Ginza, from the series "One Hundred Views of Tokyo: Message to the 21st Century" (1989–99), depicts the most fashionable corner of Japan's most prestigious shopping street in the spring season. Ginza 4-chome, where the Ginza Line subway emerges above ground at the Sukiyabashi junction, is the symbolic heart of Tokyo's commercial elegance — its department stores, boutiques, and the famous Wako clock tower defining the visual identity of high-end urban Japan. Amano renders this contemporary urban subject in his color woodblock style.
