Painter and poet Yumeji Takehisa was also good at drawing a pretty girl with big eyes.
At Gofuku Bridge Higashizume, you can also see the traces of "Minatoya Esoshi Paper Store".
It is written in front of "Shin-Gofuku Bridge Building" on Eitai-dori St.
This land was a place where Yumeji lived and transmitted designs, and was also a place of memories with his lover Hikono.
It seems that he loved the bustle and atmosphere of Edo Nihonbashi.
However, the diary immediately after the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 says, "Edo is gone ..."

It is said that from 1913 to 5 years, he sold booths designed by Yumeji and was known as a specialty of Tokyo.
There was a gallery on the second floor, where young Koshiro Onchi gathered.
Suzukake (Platanas), which has experienced the earthquake and war damage, also wrote Yumeji, grows again on Eitai-dori St. in front of the old store. I can't wait for people who can't wait for the night. It seems that the moon will not come out this evening ...
The above is the letter of Yumeji addressed to Haibara.
On the back of the envelope below, there is "Noshu Nasu Onsen Komatsuya Yumeji Takehisa".
The postmark "3, 6, 13" is likely to be June 13, 1928.
"It's a good thing to give you a hundred pieces of stupid and careful people to this one."
Haibara asked Yumeji to design envelopes, stationery, Chiyogami, fan fans, etc.
Yumeji was also a "customer" who prefers to use Haibara Washi for himself.
Mr. Haruko Nakamura, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Haibara Co., Ltd., gave me a special photo.
I think Yumeji walked with Hikono to Nihonbashi, Ichiishibashi, Bank of Japan head office, Mitsukoshi head office, etc.
Haibara has been established for 200 years since its establishment in 1806 (1806).
As a long-established Japanese paper company, we sell mainly Japanese paper and paper products mainly at the Nihonbashi Main Store in Tokyo.
It is depicted in "Empire Japan Tokyo Nihonbashi-no-zu" (around 1887).
It was the beginning that the geese paper was first sold to the common people of Edo as indicated by the Japanese shop curtain of the "geese paper Haibara".
