Hamamatsu-shiBorn and one of the people who have contributed to the creation of the town in Edo, the name of Kanzo Magome comes to mind.

There are few materials related to Kanzo Magome, some of which are kept at the Edo Tokyo Museum, and the whole picture is still under investigation and research. Since Ieyasu entered Edo, he is definitely one of the people who supported Ieyasu in the shadow of the street and as a town master, and maintained and developed the desolate Edo land.

Hamamatsu-shiThe Magome River is a river that flows almost north and south through the center. According to historical facts, Ieyasu, who returned from Osaka's team at Magome Bridge over this river, took 500 people's feet and picked up, and was subsequently offered to give himself the last name of Magome. .

At the same time, a vast vacant lot in Takarada Village (now near Tokyo Station from the current Gofuku Bridge) was given, but was later ordered to relocate to Otemmacho to expand Edo Castle.

From the time of Ieyasu to the beginning of the Meiji era, the name of Magome Kanyu was inherited almost from generation to generation, and there are some unclear points about which era Magome Kanyu was derived, but as a central person who laid the foundation of Edo's history and culture I think that the day when I get in the spotlight will come.
