This 1940 color woodblock print from Kishio Koizumi's "One Hundred Views of Great Tokyo in the Showa Era" depicts the Kiba lumberyard along the river in the Fukagawa district. Kiba, meaning "wood place," was Tokyo's primary timber market for centuries, where logs floated down rivers were stored in waterways and sold to builders and craftsmen. The "(New Edition)" designation suggests this is a revised version of an earlier print in the series, perhaps updated to reflect changes in the lumberyard's appearance or to improve the printing quality. Koizumi renders the stacked timber, canal waters, and working infrastructure of this industrial landscape with the same care other artists reserved for scenic temples. The Kiba lumberyard represented the commercial backbone of a city built almost entirely of wood, making it a subject of genuine historical importance within Koizumi's documentary project.
