* Circa 1945-1955 After World War II, a black market at Kanda developed around the first school of electrical manufacturing ( now the Tokyo Denki University.

Clustered around the Sobu Main line, what began as a host of electrical stores selling vacuum tubes, radio goods and electrical items to the students, has today come to be known as Electric Town.

Called " musen " or " wireless " shops, they were the first to begin selling radios.
