À propos de cet audio
The collection of sources provides a multifaceted overview of Ogu (尾久), a historic area now part of Arakawa Ward, Tokyo, emphasizing its evolution from an ancient settlement to a modern neighborhood. Historical texts, including a Wikipedia entry, trace Ogu's past from its origins as Ogu Village (尾久村) in the late 19th century and its earlier existence as Kogu Village (小具郷), noting its abolition as an independent town in 1932 when it was incorporated into Arakawa Ward. Several articles and excerpts focus on the area's social and cultural shifts, particularly its brief period as a popular hot spring (onsen) resort and entertainment district (三業地) during the Taisho and early Showa eras, famously associated with the Abe Sada incident. Contemporary accounts from local residents, including actress Tamae Ando, describe Ogu today as a compact, resilient "shitamachi" (downtown) area characterized by a mix of small factories, traditional shopping streets, and close-knit community ties, served by the unique Toden Arakawa Line (Tokyo Sakura Tram).
