 　Chuo-ku is full of treasures!　I went to Takaramachi to walk along a road I had never walked before.

Before that, we examined the origin of the name of Takaramachi on the website of Chuo-ku about the origin of the name of the town.

　In 1931, by the idea of Hikokichi Nakazawa, a happy name was selected and given.
(Mr. Nakazawa) ※ A businessman in Meiji period. "In 1892, I was elected as a member of the House of Representatives and at the same time became a member of the Tokyo City Council."　

Hey, that's right.　But now it doesn't remain as a place name. Resurrection hope

 

　A little west of Toei Subway Takaracho Station, the street heading north is antique street.

Immediately after entering the street, there is a shop called Mayuyama Ryusen-do, which sells Tenmoku bowls.

 

Turn left at Kouyama's corner and you will find the "Lottery Dream Hall". There is also a lottery lottery here.

 

When you enter the museum, you will find photos and panels that introduce the history of the lottery.

　The lottery was sold for the first time. 10 yen per sheet. The first class is 100,000 yen.　

It's also interesting to find out about the value of money at that time.

The Hamarikyu area has been used as a Mitaka area for a long time, and at the time of Yatsushiro Shogun Yoshimune, Gori Shikata was used as Okobushiba from Nihonbashi. It was used by the emperor, general, public family, daimyo, and falconry training workers. 

Gokenba (This name is given because it releases a hawk from the Shogun's fist)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hamarikyu was around Mitakaba (1624-1644), the Shogun's family.

Kofu Imperial Highness Residence (Kofu Tonohama Yashiki, Kofu Kaite Yashiki) 1654-1704) ・ ・ ・ ・ Including Genroku era

Hama Goten (1704-Meiji Restoration) The fifth shogun Tsunayoshi and Tsunashige's child Tsunataka adopted the adoption and became a separate residence for the Shogun family.

Hamarikyu (Meiji to pre-war) ... owned by the Imperial Family

Tokyo Metropolitan Hamarikyu Garden (post-war to present)

For the above reasons, ownership changed and the name changed.

Last year I posted hawk on my blog, so this year I will post photos of northern goshawk, Harrishook, and the end of hawk.

This year, there were more customers than last year and it was very lively.

On the 2nd, Hayabusa successfully caught pigeons at the venue, but on the 3rd there was a happening and caught another pigeon in the air and landed outside the venue.

I was surprised at the fact that there was a hayabusa in front of the customer who gave up because I couldn't see the inside of the venue well.　　　

　 northern goshawk

  Hawk's chest hair less than one year old has a vertical stripe pattern as shown in the photo, but after one year it becomes horizontal stripe. 　The hair grows every year.　　　　　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　　　

 　　　　　　　Harrisfhook

　　　　　　　The wings are dark and brown.

　　　　　

　　　　It's the hayabusa that comes from the Dentsu Building and catches the pigeon.

　　　　He says he has good eyesight and is good at falling down.

　　　　The biggest one is northern goshawk, but northern goshawk and Harris Hawk perform various performances.

　　　　I hope there are a lot of good things.

 　

 

More Hamarikyu, which inherits the New Year's Hotaka and the Edo Period

 

On January 2nd and 3rd, Aikido demonstration was held at Hamarikyu between the demonstrations of hawk.

What is Aikido?

It is a self-defense technique, not to fight against the opponent, but to win or lose.

It is said to be a health method, and it is a unique way of physical and mental training in Japan, and it seems that he works happily with "harmony".

It seems that it is a new martial arts that has been around for about 70 years, but we value human relationships such as encountering, interacting, and meeting people.

I put three pieces in the camera without knowing the order.

The New Year's Hamarikyu Garden, which was blessed with good weather, was very busy on both the 2nd and 3rd due to the performance of hawk.

On the morning of the 2nd, a quiet large garden spread after passing through the plaza crowded with hawk demonstrations.

There were almost no figures around the pond with tide and the pine teahouse, and I looked at the New Year's garden with a single feeling.

It is thought that the day when the sun sets between the buildings is reflected on the surface of the Shioiri Pond, and the reflection is reflected on the long push of the corridor through the openwork between the Matsuno Chaya column. .

I have faithfully realized that it was such a design in the past.

I enjoyed the atmosphere of sitting in the pond while receiving "Ocha and sweets".

There was a cushion for 10 people, but only me and my friend became a guest of "Matsuno Chaya".　　

Lucky! ！

It seems that we are considering how to release "Matsuno Chaya" in the future.

 

The photo below shows "Hyakuryo" found in "New Year's Donation" in "Hamarikyu Guide Departure".

Thousands and all of them are well known, so they are omitted.

Hyakuri ... It is an evergreen shrub of the family Asteraceae.

　　　　　　It grows under the shade and blooms downward around July, white or light red flowers bloom downward.

　　　　　　　 　　　　　

　　　　　　Even though it was the New Year, there were a few places where the autumn leaves were beautiful.　　　

　　

　　　　　The elegant scent of Japanese allspice accented the New Year's garden.　　　　　　　　 　　

　　　　　"camellia sasanqua" was common, but it was blooming well and kept in my heart. 　　　　

　 　　　　I was worried about the hard buds of plums than "narcissus". 　　　　

　　　　　"October cherry blossoms" in Hanakien are in full bloom. 　　　　　　　　

"Plum blossoms" in early New Year are auspicious. From the end of January to February, Hamarikyu will be a plum garden.　

There are about 140 plum trees in more than 12 types in the park, and you can see the "sounding" Kengyo, etc., which the 11th Shogun Ienari liked.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

　　　　　　　　

 

 

I went to Hamarikyu Garden on the second day of New Year's Day. The weather was fine and there were many people. Plum blossoms and what cherry blossoms (October cherry blossoms?) It was blooming beautifully.

In the garden, hawk hawk was shown, and if it was a little late to start at 11 o'clock, it was a situation where people were full and could finally be seen from behind people.

The pine teahouse completed last year also had a tea ceremony and seemed to be put inside, but I watched it from outside. At the time of construction, it felt like a fairly large building, but when it was completed, it didn't feel that big. But it was a perfect view for a pond with tide.

 

I could see the window well from outside.

It was a nice New Year walk with good weather. This time, when the pine teahouse was opened to the public again, I wanted to go inside and drink tea and taste the feeling of the general.

 

 

On January 2, a demonstration of <Suwa-ryu> hawk art, which is said to be one of the groups of falconers belonging to the Shogun family of the Edo period, was performed at the Hamarikyu Garden.

The highlight event of the opening of the New Year's Day.

This area is said to have been a falconry place for the Shogun's family in the first place, and it is said that it was a one-sided Ashihara, and the representative daimyo garden of the Edo period, where two "Kamoba" facilities, Shinsenza and Koshindo, still remain. It is said that a falcon swung his arm to capture the duck that had been caught by the net during the duck hunting. Even in the Meiji era, it has inherited the culture of falconry as a duckba of the Imperial Household Ministry from the viewpoint of "preservation of ancient techniques", but now hawk is only protected by private volunteers. I hear that it was planned to show off and get interested in traditional Japanese culture and the protection of rare raptor.

In my first dream, the auspicious thing is "Ichifuji Nitakasan eggplant", but entertainment is a place where you can see a real hawk and have a good luck and immerse yourself in the New Year's mood.

The falconers line up with the hawk on their palms and go around in front of the spectators, starting with the "return", where the falconers line up and greet and introduce everyone. The falconer and the student have different costumes.

Next, "transfer" to jump from the palm of the falconer to another falconer's palm, "migrating" to move the branches of the tree and the palm of the falconer, swing a pigeon with a thin string on the tree or call a hawk from the palm of another falconer. After demonstrations such as "Swing pigeon", the viewer's falconry experience.

At the end, Hayabusa confirms pigeons on the ground and descends from the rooftop of the Dentsu Building to capture them.

After turning over the sky for a while, when descending, it descends exactly and captures the pigeon brilliantly.
