Emperor Showa Rinko Monument

[North Yujin] December 3, 2010 11:15

The promenade was built on the bank along the Sumida River (Hamacho Riverside Street), and the Emperor Showa Rinyuki Monument, which was also located in the school grounds of Nihonbashi Junior High School at 1-chome Higashi Nihonbashi Bridge, was moved to the street.

There's a new sign on the corner.

Let's enlarge the explanation board.

If you go along the road, you will find a wonderful monument.

The back is the school building of Nihonbashi Junior High School.

Let's enlarge a new explanation board.

The explanation board has a modern language translation and proviso.

It was built at the beginning of the Showa era, but can't modern people read it anymore?

The bird is a phoenix, isn't it?

The title calligraphy is Kantaro Suzuki.

The time of the visit was 1930, and the purpose was to see the reconstruction status of the Great Kanto Earthquake.

The road that was passed at that time was the current "Miyuki-dori".

 

There is a bridge that crosses Hamacho Riverside Street right next to it, making it very convenient to get to the Sumida River Terrace.

I took a picture of the sky tree from the top of the bridge.

Crossing the front is the Mukaijima Line, and the Ryogoku Bridge extends from the lower left.
