1913 - Kineo Kuwabara

我們從大量收藏中展出這三張原稿，東京荒川區附近，遠方那四根巨大的煙囪是當時東京著名的地標「千住火力發電廠」的煙囪（日本常稱「お化け煙突」，意即妖怪煙囪。 拍攝於 1930年～1940 年之間。這段時間是桑原手持 Leica 相機在東京下町（平民區）創作最密集的黃金時期。

WE HAVE EXHIBITED THESE THREE ORIGINAL PRINTS FROM OUR EXTENSIVE COLLECTION. TAKEN NEAR ARAKAWA WARD IN TOKYO, THE FOUR MASSIVE CHIMNEYS IN THE DISTANCE ARE THOSE OF THE "SENJU THERMAL POWER STATION" (COMMONLY REFERRED TO IN JAPAN AS THE "OBAKE ENTOTSU," MEANING GHOST CHIMNEYS), A FAMOUS TOKYO LANDMARK AT THE TIME. THESE WERE SHOT BETWEEN 1930 AND 1940, A PERIOD THAT MARKED THE MOST INTENSE GOLDEN AGE OF KUWABARA'S CREATIVE WORK IN TOKYO'S SHITAMACHI (DOWNTOWN) REGION USING A HANDHELD LEICA CAMERA.
