　Hoitsu Sakai (1761-1829), the third master of "Rinpa" following Sodatsu and Korin. Many people know that his tomb, also known as the ancestor of Edo Rinpa, is located at Honganji Temple in Tsukiji. In 1797 (1797), under the master of Kyoto Nishi Honganji Temple, who descended to Edo, he earned his home at Tsukiji Honganji Temple. But this is not the only connection between Huichi and Chuo-ku.

　Tadanori Sakai (Tadanori Sakai) was born in 1761 at the Sakai family annex in Kandaogawamachi as the second son of the Gagaku head family, Himeji feudal lord, and grew up in the upper house in front of Ote-mon gate, Edo Castle. Nakayashiki straddles the current Nihonbashi Ningyocho 1-chome and Nihonbashi Kakigaracho 1-chome on the east side of Inaribori, crossing Shin-ohashi-dori St. from Nihonbashi Elementary School, just before Nihonbashihakozakicho, and around the Metropolitan Expressway. It was quite wide. (It seems that this place became the residence of Saigo Takamori after the Meiji Restoration.)

　He demonstrated a unique talent not only in paintings but also in the literary world such as haikai and Kyoka, but he used the issue of "Hakozaki Funamori" in the collection of phrases from the Nakayashiki era, "The Sound of Kaji" . Speaking of Huichi's residence, Negishi's "Ugean", which produced a fulfilling work in his later years, is famous, but now there was a time when he was "Chuo Kumin".

　This year is just 250 years from 1761 when he was born. At the beginning of this year, there were related art exhibitions at the Idemitsu Museum of Arts and the Hatakeyama Memorial Hall, but since summer, a large-scale retrospective exhibition featuring representative works such as "The 250th Anniversary of Birth of Hoitsu Sakai and Edo Rinpa" will be held around Himeji, Chiba and Kyoto. Unfortunately, there is no event in Tokyo, but in the Tokyo metropolitan area, it will be held at the Chiba City Museum of Art from October 10 to November 13. Taro Iyo also visits the grave of Tsukiji and then goes to Chiba to enjoy the essence and elegance of Huichi.

　I think there are many people who are suffering from back pain, but the recommended information this time is available in the Nihonbashi area.
　Introducing the "King Clinic" that also has the nickname of "God Hand Grandpa".
　Occasionally, bad rumors of hospitals and information on bushes can be obtained quickly by word of mouth.
　It spreads, but I think a reputable hospital is rather rare.

　"King Clinic" has long been famous and known its name, but it was actually a medical examination.
　When I tried it, it was strange, I had no pain like a lie.
　Wang is Chinese, so Japanese is terrible, but the skill is 4,000 years in China.
　It seems like you get a glimpse of the history of (laughs).
　Because it's not a big clinic and it's popular, it's always a long line.
　You may need to be prepared to wait at least an hour before you visit.

　By the way, if you search with "Kanda God Hand", which seems to be popular on the Internet, you can search for king medical treatment.
　The place was hit. The truth is not clear, but the real brother or cousin of former director Sadaharu Wang.
　There's also a note that I'm a younger brother ... (Although it's probably Gaseneta)
　Of course, I think there is compatibility with the disease and individual differences, but if you have chronic back pain, try it.
　How about watching it?

Around the Nihonbashi River is separated from Edo Castle outer moat, there is a relatively large stone marker on the west side of Minamizume in Ichiishibashi.

It is engraved on the front as "Full Child's Shirube", on the left side of the stone mark is "Tatsuzuru", on the right side is "Shiru", and there is a rectangular hollow at the top of the text.

If there is an inquirer, put a piece of paper on the left hollow with the characteristics of the person. It seems that those who know put paper on the right hollow and exchange information.

The inquirer suddenly reminds me of the legend of Umewaka that remains on the banks of the Sumida River long ago.

Umewaka, who was abandoned by buying people, dies due to illness in the eastern land (Azuma) far away from Kyoto.

The figure of a mother looking for her child after that.

 

People's strong feelings have been expressed in various performing arts and arts, such as Noh, Joruri, and painting subjects.

The madness of searching for those who are separated lives over time.

 

Today, it is an advanced information society where most people have mobile phones and use computers.

Even in such an era, during the earthquake just six months ago, there is no way to check the safety of family members on an unconnected phone call, and the flow of people who continue to walk to their homes. In the dark and cold, there was a figure of people pushing their feet straight.

 

It is said that this stone mark was built by a nearby influential person in the late Edo period because of the partition that if a lost child comes out, it must be protected responsibly in the town.

The reason why the stones and replicas of the "Mayoiko no Shirube" remain in the precincts of Yushima Tenjin and Senso-ji Temple is probably because it was the downtown area of Edo, where many visitors came from various countries.

 

The "Mayoiko's Signpost" contains the earnest desire to search for people.

 

 

This is the third in a series that rediscovers the charm of Chuo-ku while comparing along the edge of the friendship river between the Sumida River and the Seine. (Please refer to the “Introduction” section for “Prologue”. "Sumida River and Seine" ≪Introduction≫

 

It may be {island} that accents the flow of the river and spreads the landscape. You can look at the island from the riverbank, or cross the island to enjoy a kind of "other world".

There are two famous islands floating in the Seine. One is the island of St. Louise. It is a small island that retains a calm old town. It's a great place to enjoy the atmosphere of Paris while strolling.

The other is said to be the birthplace of Paris (Shite Island). A lot of people always gather as a lively tourist spot, centering on the famous [Notle Dam Temple]. It's the charm of the city that it's bustling.

Well, there are several islands in Chuo Ward. What floats on the Sumida River are [Ishikawajima] and [Tsukuda Island]. In the first place, it was an island like a shallow water floating in the sea of Edo. It is now far away from the sea, but it is familiar as a landscape downstream of the Sumida River.

The monument of the old Ishikawajima Lighthouse has been restored in the section of Tsukuda Park, creating a taste. [Ishikawajima] is also famous for the establishment of a "Hitoshishoro" (rehabilitation facility for unjuku people) by the proposal of Heizo Hasegawa, a "Kinhei" in the late Edo period. The name of [Ishikawajima] is said to be derived from the name of Mr. Ishikawa, who once had a mansion in this area. In addition, near the Meiji era, a shipyard of the Shogunate was set up, leading to the current IHI.

[Tsukuda Island] It has been known as a scenic spot since the Edo period, as depicted in Hiroshige's Ukiyo-e. At that time, I could feel a little suburban feeling.

Regarding the history of this island, many people have stated, such as the connection between Ieyasu Tokugawa and fishing villages in Settsu and Tsukuda, so I will omit it, but I still value it as a town that still retains the atmosphere and humanity of old Machiya I think.

 

Both cities shared the taste depth of the islands that preserve history and culture today.

Please choose your favorite place and enjoy exploring the Sumida River. I'm sure you'll get more and more attractive.

　An acquaintance from Brazil came to Japan before his salary.　I'm free tomorrow, so I'd like you to show me somewhere.

Well, before the salary, the silver of gold-deficient disease. There is also hate, other use, and I can't spend much time.
Even if I thought it was in trouble, I chose an efficient course because I had the knowledge I had cultivated through daily town walks.

　Take the Edo bus from Chuo-ku government office. I purchased 300 yen a day ticket. The ticket will be a souvenir.

　Introduction of the history of Nihonbashi and Edo via Nihonbashi via Tokyo Station, a commemorative photo in front of the Money Museum (free tour) and the Bank of Japan.　After that, he explained the relationship between the lion statue and the Mitsukoshi Department Store in front of Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi.　I'm engaged in fruit-related activities, so I visited Senbikiya Sohonten, which is famous for high-grade fruits, but today only sees delicious fruits. http://www.sembikiya.co.jp/ We invited him to make mango curry for lunch, but he said he was not hungry yet. So, you have to consider the following options.

　At the monument to the ruins of Nagasakiya in front of Shin-Nihonbashi Station, he explained that lectures on the isolation of the Edo period and Dutch trading post members' greetings to the generals, such as Siebold, a German doctor who led to the westernization of Japanese medical care, were useful.　The destination is Kakigara-cho, Ningyo-cho.

　When I visited Suitengu and taught me how to make hand-water, I wash my hands honestly, explained that I was a god of giving children, and Ginzo prayed for the safe delivery of my future grandchildren next spring.　They living in the inland Brazil do not eat sushi as raw fish, so unfortunately they have never eaten it when explaining the beef bowl at the next shop.　Meet at the clock in front of the clock, watching the gimmick clock in Shime Ningyocho start moving at 1 o'clock. I was impressed by the elaborate tricks.　Unfortunately, about half of the shops in amazake Yokocho are closed due to holidays.

　Take the Edo bus again at Nihonbashi Kumin Center and go to Chuo-ku government office.　I took them to Ginza who wanted to shop, taught me how to get to the hotel, told me that there was another business, and broke up. It was a phone call that they enjoyed shopping slowly in their own way. I was glad to have used their foreign currency.　Ginza is already preparing for winter from autumn to winter.

　By the way, the food cost in Brazil seems to be higher than in Japan's middle-class families. Mc's hamburgers, which are used as a basis for comparing purchasing power parity, are about 350 yen.　It seems that athletic shoes such as Nike cost more than 30,000 yen.　I pray for the success of the Olympic Games in Brazil. Let's do our best, Japan!

Postscript: He bought 30cm sports shoes at the adidas shop in Ginza for about 9,500 yen. The same thing is said to cost about 20,000 yen in Brazil.　Souvenirs for Brazilians may be good.

 

 

 

I found a glossy Akebi (Kidori) at a nearby supermarket. Did you sneak up to the next side in autumn without noticing in the harsh summer heat? It is the beginning of the last week of September, when autumn is dark. 。 What happened to be "something delicious" when it cools down?

I visited Mr. Nakajima from Ginza today. "Kappo cuisine Nakajima" is a long-established store that was founded in 1931 for 80 years, and is known as the first chef of the Lushan Jin Hoshigaoka Tea Dormitory (the founder of the Lushan Jin no Hoshigaoka Tea Dormitory) and is now the third generation.

This "Shokado" is a place where Nakajima can easily enjoy it.
3,150 yen is worth a price with seasonal Shokado Zen with sashimi, soup and dessert. Today, I went through a private room and enjoyed a relaxing and late lunch. Chrysanthemum is the one in the bowl of Yuba and Kyoimo, the combination of okura, and the pot of pots. I'm sorry to get it in a jewelry box that seems to be trapped in the season. It's a luxurious time that satisfies the sight and taste at the same time. The dessert is babaroa with figs and white miso.

It is recommended when you are thinking of a little elegant lunch in Ginza. When I was an employee. I remember that I was pleased when I introduced a female customer.

A stone monument that attracts your eyes at the entrance of the shop says "Yoze ..." (from now on Kannon Michi). I heard that it was originally on the Mt. Koya-san pilgrimage route. Why don't you take a step in meeting the taste of dishes that make use of fresh ingredients?
