Asakusa in living color

[Nornes, Markus]

This could be. The Fitzpatrick Traveltalks are 1935, and the most prominent banner in the clip is advertising a Chiezo film called 京洛浅春譜 (http://www.jmdb.ne.jp/1935/bk001520.htm), which was released in April 1935. Another advertises Lives of a Bengal Lancer, also 1935.

It has the feel of one.

I just stumbled on a wonderful clip of prewar Asakusa on color film. Because
I've only seen images of this space in black and white, it was truly a
wonder to behold. Check it out!
