"Miyoshi Bridge" Monument-Yukio Mishima "Hashizukushi"-

[Kaishu] September 9, 2009 09:00

Chuo-ku changed its city phase from the mid-1930s.
On the occasion of the Tokyo Olympics held in October 1964.
This is because the river was reclaimed for the construction of the Metropolitan Expressway.
The Tsukiji River was also reclaimed in 1962.

However, Yukio Mishima (1914-1945) announced it at the end of 1956.
With the honorable mention "Hashizukushi", you can see the atmosphere of this area around the past.
In this short story, Chuo-ku government office (before rebuilding), St. Luke hospital, etc.
Buildings such as Tsukiji Honganji are depicted.
Other landscapes, customs, and customs are completely different from the present.

The story tells the story of seven bridges over the Tsukiji River, where four women wish.
It is said that if you can cross safely without any problems, your wish will come true.
It has a suspense structure.
There are seven bridges that need to be crossed, but in fact they are.
Miyoshi Bridge, Tsukijibashi, Irifune Bridge, Akatsuki Bridge, Sakae Bridge (this bridge is not currently available),
It's 6 of Bizen Bridge.
However, since Miyoshi Bridge is a three-way bridge, you can change the course and cross it twice.
I'm supposed to have crossed two bridges.

In front of Irifune Bridge, one person could not proceed further due to abdominal pain.
The second person was called out by an acquaintance on Akatsuki Bridge.
And the third person may commit suicide at the last Bizen Bridge.
You will be stopped by a misidentified police officer and will be forced to speak.
The three of them will not be able to fulfill their wishes according to old rules.
The last remaining one successfully crosses the seven bridges and succeeds in making a wish.
Each of the three who have fallen has a concrete and earnest wish.
But what was the only woman, wish, a woman who fulfilled her prayer?
It will not be revealed during the work.
In addition, the unexpectedness of the woman is unexpected, and it is the taste of the work.

By the way, the setting of the four people is from the Katsura family in Ginza Itajindo.
2 geishas (42 years old Koumi, 22 years old Kanako),
A boxed girl (22 years old) of Shimbashi's restaurant Yonei,
And one month ago, I was a woman who came from Tohoku.

In addition, one of the films that faithfully reflect the background of this era.
It is "Flowing" (Toho's work in 1956) by the master craftsman Mikio Naruse.
The stage is around Yanagibashi, but it is the human pattern of the Hanayanagi world at that time.
The atmosphere is captured with a calm and relaxed camerawork.
