 On October 30, 2011, a presentation of the naming of the street was held and went there.

First of all, as a greeting, Mr. Matsujiro Takasaka, chairman of the Ginza Nishihachimachi Association, explained the background of the naming.

Next, as a table talk, the lecturer was a young master of Shimbashi Ryotei Kanadanaka, president of the Tokyo Shimbashi Association, and a geisha in Ginza connected from late Tokugawa shogunate to the present. If I would like to introduce the details, the roots of Shimbashi Geisha are:

―――He lent the home area given by Mr. Kinharu Tayu to a performing arts teacher, and since the teachers had many beautiful women, they were called to welcome and welcome the daimyo residence. Mr. Tokiwazu Mojiwasa of Kinharu Performing Arts Village, got permission to take care of the elderly in Edo shogunate at the time, and performed the arts, which was the basis for the Hanayanagi world. Was.―――

 late Tokugawa shogunate, the young samurai who came from the West with the rejection of the Emperor, were not treated at the finest Yanagibashi at the time, but Shimbashi Geisha warmly welcomed him.

As a result, in the early Meiji era, Yanagibashi, which inherited the culture of Edo, Shimbashi, the emerging city Shimbashi, and the Shimbashi Hanayanagi world developed before it was called Shinryu Nikyo, but also secret stories were introduced here Was. --When the Tokaido Line opened to Nagoya, Kaoru Inoue from the Choshu clan, who had served as a former Meiji elder, Foreign Minister, Minister of Agriculture and Commerce, Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications, and Minister of Internal Affairs, borrowed a train from Shimbashi Station to Nagoya Station. He invited Shimbashi geisha to the Hanayanagi world in Nagoya, where he danced. At that time, Nagoya seemed to have been very active in both business and performing arts since the promotion of Owari weather in fighting with Yatsushiro Shogun Yoshimune. 

Unfortunately, the dance of Shimbashi Geisha at this time was not well-received in Nagoya, and told geisha, Nagoya, "When I heard from far away from Tokyo, I thought it would be pretty beautiful, but it was never big if I saw it nearby. It was as if he was abused as "Gifu lantern" and was shameful and felt very frustrated. When I dropped my shoulders and returned to Shimbashi, a heavyweight of the land started a year. We welcomed a first-class teacher called Soke Iemoto from all over the country. It was said that the desire to practice and dance better led to the construction of Shimbashi Enbujo in 1925.

Finally, a wonderful dance was performed. The dance is Nagauta "Hinazuru Sanbaso"

The cube (dance) was Kimiya, Hidechiyo, and the locals (performances such as shamisen) were Kinuko, Teruyo, Yurako, Akiko, and Fumie. With a wonderful dance and permission, I will show you one piece.
