Using a rich array of materials, J. Charles Schencking tells for the first time in English or Japanese the graphic tale of the Kantō earthquake's destruction of Tokyo in 1923 and explains how and why the disaster compelled people to reflect on the state of urban, consumer society. He also examines how the unprecedented calamity encouraged inhabitants to entertain new types of modernity as they rebuilt their world.
