Carriage Accident, Showa period, dated 1975, presents a scene of commotion and mishap drawn from the Meiji and Taisho periods when horse-drawn rickshaws and carriages shared Tokyo's streets with the first automobiles and electric trams. The subject allowed Mori to depict the bustle and occasional chaos of the old city's streets with the narrative energy and multiple-figure compositions that characterized his most ambitious genre scenes. The carriage accident — with its overturned vehicle, scattered goods, and gathering crowd — provided a moment of dramatic incident that organized his crowded cityscape into a legible narrative.
