Abstract

This paper focuses on the Yamagataya department store in the city of Kagoshima, describing the characteristics of the location, the exterior of the building, and the background of the surrounding cityscape when the store first opened for business. Yamagataya succeeded in becoming central to Kagoshima's commercial life by inviting the streetcar company to run its tracks along the street adjacent to the store at the time of the switch to the department store format. By constructing a multistory ferroconcrete structure that was illuminated at night and featured large display windows, Yamagataya helped to create a modern cityscape.
