BY JAxON SONODA

Once like a bejeweled princess =
dazzling, glamorous, and enchant-
ing, Gina, the famed the fabulous
artery in central Tokyo. is today
like a wizened harlot who has splat-
tered herself with paint to recap
ture, If she could her lost allure.
So bright and alive was the Gina
at nighttime in rre-war days that
it was said to rival the brilliance
and gaiety OF New York's Broadway.
Now. even Seattle's own Jackson
Street is far better Lit at nights
than the once-haughty Gina.
Girza is nothing more than one
section of Tokyo, its boundaries
clearly defined by the Shimbashi
district in the south and the Nj
hombashi area in the north. Its
main drag, perhaps about six OF
seven city blocks in length, is 1.-The
downtown" of Tokyo, although its
carbon copies may be seen in other
sections of the sprawling metropo-
lis - in Shinjuku, Shibuya., Omori,
and Uyeno.
The biggest department stores, the
most exclusive fashion shops, the
classiest restaurants. and all the
other superlatives IN Tokyo are hud-
died IN the Gina.
In the daytime the Gina is bull
ging with humanity; it seems like
Christmas rush every day. Kimo-
noed musume-san, sweater girls
pan-pan gals, uniformed college
students, smartly suited businessmen
rsggedy shoe-shine boys, dapper yo-
tamono = you'll see them all on tbs
Gina.
Most of them are not on the Ginza
for shopping, but just to be there
for the Gina has an indefinablt
magnetism which draws every class
of people
If you've by any chance sent any
American clothes to someone in To
kyo. you can be assured that some
one will be wearing it when he Of
she goes down to the Gina. Fo
the Gina is the testing ground 10
The latest in apparels.

lmon an expression today as 1t wa

The darkened and sinister streets,
more like alleys, running parallel
to the main drag, are strewn With
bars and tea houses with girls ga.

feminine trickery to make you

A good number of them stand
at the entrances of these various
tea houses Cknown TO the Ginzaite
as shake kissha). half of whom are
dressed in kimonos and the other
half in loW-neckline blouses and
abbreviated skirts. They're wives

of the more modern motor cars and

and 81 vintage. chugging along side
by side with the sleek latest models
owned by the Occupation personnel.
For almost two years after the
termir alton of the war. non-Tokyo-
ties could not move into Tokyo to
establish their residences, this of
course being due to the acute hous-
ing shortage. Consequently the pop
ulation of Tokyo did not show any
marked increase.
Now. however, the ban has been
lifted and Tokyo symbolized by
the Gina - is once more the mecca
of the ambitious students and the
noneyed businessmen. Here too
come the naive inaka -musume 20

cases only to fall prey to the hon

whose eyes are peeled for just such
girls. It's the same old story as in
the States with only Tokyo being
substituted for Hollywood.

for those confined in the doghouse
by their oku-san. The tea-house is
a credit to Japanese ingenuity Its
counterparts in the States - the
bars. cabarets and night clubs - fall
short of japanese standards.
If you have the right connections,
chances are that you may be able

the OPEN to- he-public burlesque
such as in the Asakusa district,
bllt private and exclusive parties"
which are never held twice at the
same place due to fenr of police
intervention.
All the nude artistry you've ever
seen. on the stage or in the dime
miniature movies at the penny ar
cade, will pale in comparison to the
suggestive movements and contor-
ticns of the Japanese strip tease
artist.
Yes. this is Gina It's gay and
it's glum. It's moody and it's melan-
choly. It's teasing and it's tantal-
zing It's mad and it's mysterious.
It's sizzling and It's scorching. It's
dynamic and it's devastating.
Tine war years may have stifled
It's growth. but the new Gina with
its new bold look and its now accent
on sex, has a distinct new glamor
which no doubt is causing many a
sammai to shudder in his grave.
