At the Edo Tokyo Museum, a special exhibition "Chushingura saw by Hagimoto-The Trajectory of Wakasano Asano Family Three thousand stones" is now being held.
One of the highlights of the exhibition is the newly discovered Ako Asano family's "Tenbosu Kamiyashiki pictorial map". At present, there is an explanation board and a monument to Takumi Asanouchi's residence (Designated Cultural Property, Tokyo) beside the St. Luke's College of Nursing in Akashicho.
Until now, there was a site map, but the inside of the site was unknown. It has been revealed for the first time now more than 300 years since the renovation.
If you put this mansion picture in front of you at the venue, you will be able to see it in size and detail.
According to a commentary at the related forum of the exhibition (held on December 12), this picture is 2.32m horizontal (south-south) x 1.44m vertical (east-west). Colored paper in the shape of a building etc. is pasted on the mount and is called "paste picture". The scale is accurate, about 1/100, and features detailed description and careful finish. The date of creation is from 1681 (1681) to 1701 (1701), between site reduction and renovation. The 4th generation feudal lord Asanouchi Takunori and his wife Akuri lived in the palace. The site tsubo is 8,794 tsubo (approximately 30,000 m2), which looks like a picture when it was reduced to about half of the original. Therefore, the Baba is as short as about 50 spaces (90m). It is said that the appearance before the Akaho incident can be read, such as the fact that there are two "stages" performing Noh.
While comparing this mansion picture with the current site, there is a moat on the west side (currently Tsukiji River Park), and was there a front gate, the face of the mansion, around here? On the south side (now St. Luke Street), there is a digging, and you can think about whether it was a landing place or a loading place with a bamboo fence fence. In addition, related materials are on display, and it is a special exhibition that can not be overlooked by interested people.
