Nihonbashi_Bakurochō References

Nihonbashi Bakurochō (日本橋馬喰町), known in short as Bakurochō (馬喰町),^[1] is a neighborhood in Chuo-ku, Tokyo.

It is at the intersection of the Kanda River and the Sumida River. Its name means "horse trader town",^[1] a reference to how it was formerly a center for selling and buying horses.^[2]

It is known as a center for the textile trade.^[1] Additionally, Matjaz Ursic and Heide Imai, in Creativity in Tokyo: Revitalizing a Mature City, stated that the concentration of hotels, stemming from lodging needed for horse trading, gave the Bakurochō area fame.^[3]
