Tsukishima is
a place located in Chuo, Tokyo, Japan. It is an island formed of reclaimed land
completed in 1892, using earth from the dredging work performed to create a
shipping channel in Tokyo Bay. At this time, it was designated an area for
iron-working in accordance with the Fukoku Kyohei National Policy. The second
area of reclaimed land forming the island was completed two years later in
1894. It has been said that the name was originally written using the
characters, which can also be read "Tsukishima" but mean
"constructed island". Source
