[Akira Makibuchi / Sharakusai] May 19, 2012 08:30

The 13th special exhibition "Hundred Views of Tsukishima"-120 years of Tsukuda, Tsukishima, Kachidoki, Harumi and Toyomi Mizumachi are being held at the Chuo Ward Folk Tenmonkan (Time Dome Akashi). The first Tsukishima site was completed in 1892 (1892), and this year was planned for 120 years. The exhibition will be closed on Monday from May 19th (Sat) to July 1st (Sun), and admission will be free at special exhibition.

 

0913_431_120518tsukisima_te.jpgThe exhibition hall is composed of four themes, and valuable inhabitant cultural properties are also displayed.

 

The first theme is the history of Ishikawajima and Tsukuda Island as a prehistory of Tsukishima. The beginning of the Tsukishima area was Ishikawajima, which was built in Yorisu in Edo Minato in the early Edo period. It is known for the fact that there was a place for people. It was Tsukuda Island that was built on the south side.

 

The second theme is the birth and development of Tsukishima, from which it is from the modern and Meiji eras. Tsukishima No. 1 was born 120 years ago in 1892 (1892). Shipbuilding companies flourish on Ishikawajima and develop into a major coastal factory area.

 

The third theme is economic growth and the town of Tsukishima. It was around the time when it began to attract attention as a waterfront close to the city center, such as the Tsukishima area after the war and the Harumi area of the emerging area.

 

The fourth theme is to touch on the religion and culture of the Tsukishima area. Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine on Tsukuda Island was the guardian angel of Tsukuda fishermen since the early Edo period. The Ryokan / Kaikaikan, which has excellent views, created literary works as a place for the creation of Meiji literary writers.

 

The 120th anniversary of the completion of Tsukishima has progressed with the progress of modern industry, and it has become today as a town for the common people. Looking back from the standing of Ishikawajima, it has a history of more than 400 years since the early Edo period. This exhibition gives an overview of the history, culture, and lifestyle of the Tsukishima area. ●Akira Makibuchi
