There is "Sakamoto Elementary School in Chuo Ward" (upper photo) in Nihonbashikabutocho. Founded in 1873 (1873), it is the first school in the first junior high school district of the first university ward, so it has a long history as "one, one, one, one school" and is also known as a school from Junichirou Tanizaki. Next to it is "Sakamotocho Park" (pictured), which opened in 1889 (1889). As you noticed, there are two types of notations here, "Sakamoto" and "Sakamoto".

The name "Sakamotocho" is based on "Sakamoto" in guardian angel at Mt. Hiei Enryaku-ji Temple in Oomi country and "Sakamoto" in temple town in Hiyoshi Taisha Shrine. In the pictorial map of the late Edo period, it was located on the west side of the gate of Sanno resting place of portable shrines (Hie-jinja Shrine) and was also known as the so-called "Tana". The remnants of the town name are Yakushi Kayabacho, and there is a Tensui bowl (inhabitant's cultural property = lower photo) dedicated in 1841 (1841) in the current precincts of Chisen-in Temple, and it is described as "Sakamotocho".

"Sakamotocho Park" follows the historical place name from the Edo period, but why is "Sakamoto"?

As you know, there is a similar example. In the Edo period, Osaka was "Osaka", but now "Osaka". "Matsuzaka" in Ise country is described as "Matsusaka" in Mie Prefecture (the correct reading of the place name is "Matsusaka" and does not become cloudy).

There is such a theory.

1.   "Slope" is mischievous because it tilts and rolls down, so he changed it to "Osaka".

2.   "Slope" leads to "extinction" by "returning to the soil" and has a bad luck, so "Kozato" based on "fu", which means "hill, big, many, rich, prosperous" It was said that "Osaka" of "Hon" was hit.

3.   "Saka" was changed from "Saka" to "Saka" from "shi warping (bumurai rebellion)".
――And so on.

"Slope = bad luck" seems to be a common feature, but it is not clear whether it is a story or not. If you have any questions, please let me know. It seems that "Osaka" has been used since the Meiji period. In any case, this area is a place where "Slope" and "Saka" can be compared.

By the way, "Saka" is a common kanji and is a learning kanji learned in the third grade of elementary school. However, "Osaka" is not a common kanji but is considered to be an alien character of "Saka", but since it is currently under review, both "Sakamoto" and "Osaka" are likely to be a major player.

 

 

 A cool summer tournament in Akashicho has begun.　It's from August eleventh to thirteenth today.

 　With the support of St. Luke's.

12 Watched by the warm eyes of the apostle 

 Quietly, the Bon Dance of the summer festival in Akashicho began.

The guest said, "Civilization and enlightenment started in Akashicho," and he was a correspondent who wanted to tell you next time that this was a foreign settlement.

　For these children, eternal blessing!　+　

 

 

This cafe is located in the Gucci Building, located along the Wako of Harumi-dori St., Ginza 4-chome.
It was a very hot day, so the air conditioner was very effective and the inside of the shop was a different world.

The interior of the store is large, and the space between the next seat makes you feel luxurious.
The design of the table and coasters was unified and the atmosphere was chic and good.

 　

I made an iced tea and baked goods plate on this day.
The baked sweets were really freshly baked and warm and delicious!

And this iced tea glass.
The bottom is a circle, but the top is an elliptical design.
I wanted the iced tea to look delicious and I wanted it.

After all, vessels are important (*^^*)

Only in the store of Gucci Cafe, I felt that time was flowing slowly.
The price is reasonable, and it is recommended for tea time you want to relax.

By the way, the panel in front of the elevator on the 1st floor (right photo)
When a person approaches, the contents of the panel change to the guidance of each floor!

　

The Gucci chocolate on the left of the photo can be taken out.

 

 

 

　One of the biggest epoques in history after the bridge of Eitai Bridge in the Edo period was the Eitai Bridgefall incident at the Fukagawa Hachimangu Shrine Festival on August 19, 1807. It seems that there have been more than 1,500 casualties.

　Later, Peace pagoda and memorial monuments were built in Fukagawaji-machi* Kaifuku-ji (relocated to Meguro in 1910). Shiomi guardian of children and travelers is quietly built here at 2-16-16 Minato, Chuo-ku to memorialize the victims of the Eitai Bridge. However, it seems that this is also a spiritual test for toothache healing.

　If you go through the small park on the side and go to the Sumida River Terrace, the other side of the Sumida River is Tsukuda* Ishikawajima Lighthouse. Looking up the line of sight upstream, behind Chuo-ohashi Bridge is Eitai Bridge and Fukagawa.

Speaking of which, this is the Reisai Festival of Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine Fukagawa from the 13th of this month. On the 16th, the Shinto Festival (Ninomiya carrying of miniature shrines) and a half large mikoshi will come to Shinkawa, Chuo-ku.

     We will show you the only rare museum in Japan.

"Botton Museum" is the Toei Shinjuku LineNo Hamacho StationIt's a 5-minute walk from there. When you take the water bus going down the Sumida River from Asakusa, you can see the signboard on the right side.

　　Enter and enter the bright lobby overlooking the Sumida River, and first sit comfortably on the soft to watch a video about buttons. Now ready, go to gallery space! Why do you prepare your mind to see the button? What do you think? Button, button. Buttons are small works of art.

　　

When you step into the exhibition room, it is another world. The atmosphere was lost in the 18th century aristocratic room. Valuable buttons collected from all over the world are displayed by age and motif. Sigh in the splendor of elaborate work.

 

 

The button on the right is a landscape painting. Different landscape paintings are drawn precisely one by one.

What kind of time did you see this button? Who was wearing it? When I think about it, I feel like I can hear the voice from the button.

 

  

 

The button museum is reserved. Please call me and go out.
