Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

　Hoitsu Sakai (1761-1829), the third master of 'Rinpa' following Sotatsu and Korin. Many of you may know that his tomb, which is said to be the founder of Edo Rinpa, is located in Honganji Temple in Tsukiji. In 1797 (1797), he became a priest at Tsukiji Honganji Temple under the master of Kyoto Nishi Honganji Temple, who went down to Edo. But this is not the only relationship between Huichi and Chuo-ku.

　Tadanori Sakai was born in 1761 in the Sakai family annex in Kandaogawamachi as the second son of Gagaku Sakai, Himeji feudal lord, and grew up in Kamiyashiki in front of Ote-mon gate, Edo Castle, when he was thirty years old in 1790, he moved to Nakayashiki in Hakozaki for several years. Nakayashiki spans the east side of Inaribori, present-day Nihonbashi Ningyocho 1-chome and Nihonbashi Kakigaracho 1-chome, crosses Shin-ohashi-dori St. from around Nihonbashi Elementary School, in front of Nihonbashihakozakicho, and around the Metropolitan Expressway. It was quite wide. (It seems that this was the residence of the Saigo Takamori after the Meiji Restoration.)

　He showed extraordinary talent not only in paintings but also in the world of literary arts such as haikai and Kyoka, but he seems to use the issue of "Hakozaki (Hakozaki) Funamori" in the collection of phrases from the Nakayashiki period. 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 marks exactly 250 years since 1761, when this Huichi 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 called "The whole picture of Hoitsu Sakai and Edo Rinpa, commemorating the 250th anniversary of birth" will be held in Himeji, Chiba and Kyoto. Unfortunately, there are no events 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. Iyotaro also wants to visit Tsukiji's grave and extend my legs to Chiba to enjoy the essence and elegance of Yuichi.

　I think there are many people who are worried about back pain, but the recommended information this time is in the Nihonbashi area.
　I would like to introduce "King Clinic" which is also known as "God Hand Grandpa".
　Often, bad rumors of hospitals and bust doctors are quick by word of mouth.
　Although it spreads, I think that hospitals with good reputation are rare.

　The "King Clinic" was famous for a long time and knew its name, but it was actually consulted.
　Oh, no, no, no, no, no pain is gone.
　Since Dr Wang is Chinese, the Japanese language is frustrating, but this technique is used for 4,000 years in China
　It looks like you get a glimpse of the history (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 more than an hour before you see the doctor.

　By the way, it seems that it is popular on the Internet, and if you search for "Kanda God Hand", you will see King medical treatment
　The place was hit. The truth is not clear, but the older brother or cousin of the former director of Sadaharu O.
　You have to write about your brother...? (Maybe it's a gassenator.)
　Of course, I think there are compatibility with the disease and individual differences, but if you have chronic back pain, try it out.
　Would you like to see it?

As the Nihonbashi River splits from the outer moat of Edo Castle, there is a relatively large stone mark on the west side of Minamizume of Ichiishi Bridge.

On the front, it is engraved as "Mitsuko no Shirube", on the left side of the stone mark is "Tazunurukata", on the right side is "Shirasukata", and there is a rectangular hollow at the top of the character.

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

The questioner recalls the legend of Umewaka, which remains on the banks of the Sumida River, a long time ago.

Umewaka, who has been bought by a person, dies due to illness in the east (Azuma) far away from Kyoto.

Look after her mother, looking for her child.

 

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

The madness of searching for a distant person lives beyond time.

 

Currently, it is an advanced information society in which most people have mobile phones and use personal computers.

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

 

It is said that this stone marker was built by nearby influential people in the late Edo period, because it was necessary to protect it responsibly in the town if lost children came out.

The reason why "Mayoiko no Shirube" stones and replicas remain in Yushima Tenjin and Senso-ji Temple precincts is probably because it was a downtown area of Edo where many visitors gather from all over the country.

 

The "Mayoi Children's Signs" has a desperate desire to search for people.

 

 

This is the third series of 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. (For the "prologue", please refer to the "Introduction") section. "Sumida River and the Seine" ≪Introduction≫

 

It may be an island that accents the flow of the river and expands the landscape. Is it okay to see the island from the riverbank, or to cross the island and enjoy a kind of "other world"?

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

The other is the island of Cite, which is said to be the birthplace of the city of Paris. A lot of people always gather as a lively sightseeing spot, centering on famous [Notre Dame]. It is the charm of the city that there is bustle.

Well, there are several islands in Chuo Ward. On the Sumida River, [Ishikawajima] and [Tsukuda Island]. In the first place, it was a shallow-like island floating in the sea of Edo. Now it is far from the sea, but it is familiar as a downstream landscape of the Sumida River.

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

[Tsukuda Island] As depicted in Hiroshige's Ukiyo-e, it has been known as a scenic spot since the Edo period. Didn’t you feel a little near here at the time?

Many people have mentioned the history of this island, such as the connection between Ieyasu Tokugawa and fishing villages in Settsu and Tsukuda, so I omit it, but I still want to value it as a town that preserves the atmosphere and humanity of the old townhouse I think.

 

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

Please select your favorite places and enjoy exploring the Sumida River. You will surely become more and more attractive.

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

Well, gold-deficient silver made before salary. Also, there are hatred and other uses, so I can't spend too much time.
Even if I thought it was in trouble, I had the knowledge I had cultivated in my daily town walk, so I chose an efficient course.

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

　Introduces the history of Nihonbashi and Edo via Nihonbashi via Tokyo Station, and 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.　Since I am engaged in fruit relations, I visited Sembikiya Sohonten, which is famous for high-quality fruits, but today only visit delicious fruits. http://www.sembikiya.co.jp/ We invited him to eat mango curry for lunch, but he said he was not hungry yet. Now you have to consider the next option.

　In a monument to the Nagasakiya site in front of Shin-Nihonbashi Station, he explained that the lectures of German physician Siebold, etc., which led to the westernization of Japanese medical care, were useful for isolation during the Edo period and to the generals of Dutch trading post.　The destination is Kakigara-cho and Ningyocho.

　When I visited Suitengu and taught me how to hand water, I washed my hands honestly, explained that I was a god of child-rearing, and Ginzo prayed for the safe delivery of my future grandchildren scheduled for next spring.　Inland Brazil, they don't eat sushi as raw fish, so unfortunately they don't eat it when explaining the gyudon of a nearby shop, they say they never eat it.　Watching the clock at shime Ningyocho start to move at 1 o'clock, gathering in front of the clock. I was impressed by the elaborate scheme.　Unfortunately, about half of the shops in amazake Yokocho are closed due to holidays.

　Take the Edo bus again at the Nihonbashi Kumin Center and go to Chuo-ku Office.　We took them to Ginza, where they wanted to shop, taught them how to get to the hotel, and told them that there was something else to do. It was a phone call that they enjoyed shopping slowly in their own way. It was nice to have used their foreign currency.　Ginza is ready for winter from autumn to winter.

　By the way, the cost of food in Brazil seems to be higher than that of middle-class Japanese families. Mc's hamburger, which is used as a standard for comparing purchasing power parity, is about 350 yen.　It is said that sports shoes such as Nike cost more than 30,000 yen.　I wish you the success of the World Cup in Brazil and the Olympics. Good luck, Japan!

Posts: He bought 30cm sports shoes at adidas shop in Ginza for about 9,500 yen. The same thing will cost about 20,000 yen in Brazil.　Shoes may be a good souvenir for Brazilians.

 

 

 

I found a glamorous Akebi (Kidori) at a nearby supermarket. Did you creep to the next door in autumn without notice in the harsh summer heat? Autumn is the beginning of the last week of September. 。 When it gets cooler, what is strange that it will be "something delicious"?

I visited Mr. Nakajima from Ginza today. "Kappo cuisine Nakajima" is a long-established store that was founded in 1931 and is known as a shop related to Rosanjin Kitaooji (the founder is the first chef of the Hoshigaoka Tea Dormitory of Lushan people and now the third generation), but only famous stores may have a slightly higher threshold.

This "Shokado" is the one that Nakajima can feel free to visit.
It is worth 3,150 yen for seasonal Shokado Zen with sashimi, soup and dessert. Today, I went to a private room and enjoyed a relaxing and late lunch. Chrysanthemum is contained in the bowl of yuba, Kyoto potato, kura cooked together, and tsubo namasu. I'm sorry to have it in a jewelry box that looks like a season trapped. It is a luxurious time to satisfy both vision and taste at the same time. The dessert is babaroa with fig and white miso.

It is recommended when you are thinking of having a little elegant lunch in Ginza. When I was an employee. It reminds me that I was pleased to introduce a female customer.

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

Nakajima: 6-9-13 Ginza, Chuo-ku (in the middle of the third block after entering Suzuran Street. Opposite Barneys NY)

Opening hours 11:30 to 14:00, 17:00 to 22:00 TEL3571 to 2600 days holiday
