◆Chuo-ku There is a history here <27>-Tamiya Oiwa Inari Shrine and Nanboku Tsuruya-

[Akira Makibuchi / Sharakusai] December 17, 2010 08:45

Tamiya Oiwa Inari Shrine in Shinkawa (left and right in the photo) inherits the tradition of "Oiwa-san", known for "Tokaido Yotsuya Kaidan". Originally, Iwaine cargo was not enshrined in ghost stories or ghosts.

 

0913_27_101216oiwainari.jpgAccording to the company's origins, the rocks of the Tamiya family living in Yotsuya Samoncho and the Izaemon family lived a hard life with a low salary. For this reason, it is said that the savings increased due to the fact that they went to service and worshiped the mansion on a daily basis. The rock died in 1636 at the age of 36. Therefore, we built a shrine of "Iwaine Shiri" so that people could visit it. In 1717 (1717), he promoted "Iwaine-ri" and became "Oiwa Inarisha". Since then, it has also been called "Yotsuya Inari" or "Samoncho Inari", and it has gained the popularity of Edo as a good luck and disaster relief.

 

In 1825 (1825), 189 years after the death of Oiwa, the fourth generation Nanboku Tsuruya's "Tokaido Yotsuya Kaidan" was premiered at Nakamuraza. It is said that Kikugoro Onoe, the third generation in "Iwa", and the seventh generation Danjuro Ichikawa played "Iyemon". In fact, the origin of this work was that it was listed in "Yotsuya Talks". It is said to have been created as ghost stories about the incident that occurred in Genroku period.

 

The author, Nanboku Tsuruya, was born in 1755 (1755) in Nihonbashi Shin-Morimachi (now Nihonbashi Horidome). His father was a model craftsman of Konya, but he chose the path as a Kyogen writer and named the fourth in 1811 (1811). It was called "Daikoku" because it left masterpieces such as "Tokaido Yotsuya Kaidan". He died in 1829 (1829) at his home in Kurofune Inari, Fukagawa. He was 75 years old. Currently, an explanation board is installed at Inari Shrine in Peony, Koto-ku (lower right photo).

 

Tamiya Oiwa Inari Shrine in Shinkawa received a request from the actor Sadanji Ichikawa that "Yotsuya is too far away, so I want you to move near Shintomi-za," and shrine hall in Yotsuya Samoncho was destroyed by fire in 1879. The stone torii gate on the precincts was built in 1897 (1897), and Baidu stone is the oldest surviving in the ward, both.Chuo-kuIt is designated as a cultural property. Yotsuya's Oiwa Inari Shrine (lower left photo) is a similar shrine, and there are currently two Oiwa Inari, Shinkawa and Yotsuya.

Green crismoth light-up

[Sam] December 16, 2010 10:30

RIMG1735S.JPG   From December 15th to 26th, the ECO EDO Nihonbashi Executive Committee sponsored and co-sponsored by the Nihonbashi Preservation Society of Nabashi, and the "Nonse Nihonbashi 2010-ECO EDO Nihonbashi Green Project-" is being held as last year.

This event was supported by the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) to raise awareness and spread of "green electricity" generated from renewable energy that does not emit CO2 such as solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and biomass. (Developed at 106 facilities nationwide)

At this event, the Mitsui Main Building and the Main Building of the Bank of Japan Main Building, which are important cultural properties, will be lit up with green lighting using the Green Power Certificate. A system in which a premium is paid by purchasing a "Green Power Certificate" (a certificate that can trade another value other than the value of the electricity itself owned by a green power company <=environmental added>) from a company that produces renewable energy. It is said to be one of the methods of granting green energy.

At 17:00 on December 15th, a lighting ceremony was held in front of the Mitsui Main Building on Edo Sakura-dori St., and Historic buildings was illuminated by a fantastic green light along with the singing voice of the classic a Capella group AURA.

This event is based on the philosophy of "ECO EDO Nihonbashi", "conveying the spirit of symbiosis between people and nature, and aiming for a recycling-oriented society." It is said that it is also part of the activities of the Nihonbashi Revitalization Plan, in which the public, private and local communities work together to revitalize the region and create new attractions for the city based on the concept of "creating while reviving."

Introduction of Chuo-ku Tourism Association member stores 2, "Taimeiken" and "Kite Museum"

[Silver] December 15, 2010 14:00

 Today is the second restaurant tour that is a member of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association.

Speaking of Taimeiken, it is a very common restaurant founded in 1931.

Who wrote the store's Lego? Are you a disciple of Mr. Torii?

Is the heat of the frying pan expressed? Do you feel like it's a glimmering flame?

 Before opening the restaurant from 11:00, the 5th floor of the same building with the same opening time.

I went to the "Kite Museum". Please drop in before and after the meal.

Every year, we cooperate in holding the “Children's Takoage Tournament !!” at Hamacho Park.

The next event will be held at Hamacho Park on January 4, 2011 (2011).

 It began with the topic of kites, but the main purpose of Taimeiken was Taimeiken. 

We received the classic restaurant, the original omelet, coleslaw, and boursch.

After all, it was a traditional taste. The people around me were also talking with a smile. HP↓

From Toyo Iwaineari Shrine to the alley in Ginza

[Yurikamome] December 14, 2010 08:45

 About 10 days ago, when I was spreading the map on "Suzuran Street", I met a person who asked, "Are you looking for somewhere?"

I was looking for an alley, so when I asked, "Please tell me the alleys in Ginza because you can anywhere." It was a person who supported the Ginza Neighborhood Association. Lucky~~ apple

Standing at the entrance of Toyo Iwaineari Shrine, it was a narrow alley that would usually be overlooked.

  Toyo Iwaineari Shrine is on the left right after entering the alley. 7-8, Ginza, Chuo-ku

It is the god of marriage and fire prevention, but it seems that there have been many worshipers of performing arts since ancient times. 

                                2010_1211 Ginza alley Toyo Iwaine Port Photo 0007.JPG  

Visit at Toyo Iwaineari Shrine and go to the left at the end. 

Be careful not to hit your head.

      2010_1211 behind Ginza alley 0008.JPGIf you proceed carefully and go straight, the end will come out in front of a nice bright door.

This door is an automatic door that opens when touched.

         2010_12110 Ginza alley automatic door photo 0010.JPG  When the door opens, it's a coffee shop inside.

If you go straight and open the next door in front of you, a dark alley will continue to go to Kojunsha Street.

                        2010_1211 Automatic door opening of Ginza alley photo 0011.JPG

  

 If you go right inside the shop where customers are relaxing without going straight, you will reach Chuo-dori.

It's a wonderful shop where you can relax slowly, so why don't you take a break here?

We went out on Chuo-dori and there was a sign for Dotor Coffee.

It's the front entrance of this shop. 

            2010_1211 Ginza alley Dotoll Coffee 0012.JPG  

The people of the Ginza Neighborhood Association welcome tourists very kindly ...

I was impressed with it.

I thought it was wonderful to cherish the history of the people in this area, who have been renovating and renovating the building while leaving the living road from the Edo period, which has a history of being an alley.          

And each shop and company in Ginza cleans each store and company in front of each store and company every day and early in the morning.

The traces of the chewing gum have been carefully removed.

When I walked in Ginza, I always thanked and wanted to walk without getting dirty.

Thank you very much ...
