Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

Tsukishima celebrates its 120th anniversary this year. In retrospect, I would like to introduce some of the charms of Tsukishima, which has been spinning history since it was completed as the first Tsukishima site in 1892 (Meiji 25), entitled "Seven Wonders". Thank you very much.

In the first place, Chuo-ku was the start of landfills in Tokyo Bay. At the beginning of the Edo period, there was a small island [Ishikawajima] at the mouth of the Sumida River, and as you know, Tsukuda Island was built in 1644 (Shoho Gen). After that, the residents of Tsukuda Island played a central role in the development of the current land at Tsukiji, so there is a history of land development for nearly 400 years.

Furthermore, when the times went down and entered the Meiji era, sediment was deposited further south of Tsukuda Island, and the water depth became shallower. Therefore, it is the current [Tsukishima] that dredging around this area was carried out extensively and a new land was created with the fried soil.

The first landfill in Tokyo Bay was given the name of [No. 1]. Since then, this numbering has been inherited and spread to the current Ariake and Daiba districts. The Metropolitan Expressway Wangansen's [Sinkai Fukutoshin Exit] was called [13 Exit] until a while ago. This is also a remnant of the former landfill plan.

The special exhibition, which conveys the history and culture of this area, is currently being held at [Local Tenmonkan] until July 1st. On the blog dated May 19, "Sharaku Sai" reported in detail, so please take a look. It's quite impressive.

◆Local Tenmonkan special exhibition "Hundred Views of Tsukishima" is being held ~ May 19-7/1 ~

By the way, I think that the starting point for the [Tsukishima] walk is often mainly [Tsukishima Station]. I used to live in this area, but until the subway Yurakucho Line opened in 1988 (Showa 63), there was only public transportation, which was quite inconvenient. Now it's convenient to go through the Oedo Line. Before and after the war, Toden was running on Kiyosumi-dori, which was a valuable foot of the residents. (The photo shows near the Tsukishima-dori 8-chome stop around 1968. Around the current subway Kachidoki Station. Quoted from Ikaros Publishing Tokyo Toden)

Tsukishima has [Tsukishima Kumin Center] as a branch office of the Chuo-ku government office. There is also a library, which is popular not only as a point of contact for administrative, but also as a base for local exchange and learning.

Tsukishima has changed drastically in the last 10 years, while retaining the atmosphere of a downtown area full of humanity. The number of row houses in old alleys was gradually decreasing, and the number of apartments increased.
I would like to tell you about the changing profile of Tsukishima from now on.

Let's rediscover the charm of Tsukishima.

From the 20th, Chinowa was set up at Koami Shrine. It is said that it will be set up until June 30, when the "Natsukoshi Great Exorcism" is held.

As you can see, of the twice-year exorcism, New Year's Eve was called "Exorcism of New Year's Eve" and June in old calendar was literally a turning point in autumn, so it was calledNara period's Imperial Palace event. The "Chinowa" event, which is still held at many shrines, is customary to represent this "Natsukoshi Exorcism". It is said that a ring (diameter: 2-3m) that bundles "Chigaya" called "Chinowa" is displayed, and when passing through this ring, the body is cleaned and plagues and sins are exterminated. It is believed that Chinowa was the source of today's Chinowa's passing on, based on the story of "Somin Future" written in Bingo topographical record, "The fact that Somin who lent the overnight inn that Susanoo-no-Mikoto taught Chinowa to his waist will escape the plague."

In the late Edo period, "Toto Toshikiki" also "Kamimae, felicitation, and there is a Kagura box office. At the end of the gods, he overrides Chinowa, a pilgrimage. At the place that is separated by Kawabe, water is poured in a basin and compared to the Misogi River. On this day, ordinary people cut it into the form of clothing with paper, make it a stroke, and do not throw it into the river. " In addition, the answer of Mineyama territory of Tango-kuni in the "Country Customs Question Answer" during the cultural year is "Singing when purifying the ring, those who purify Natsukoshi in Minazuki are the home of a thousand years of life" "You can see the song of the right two necks and Chinowa. This is a song in the collection of books, but it is still said to sing around Chinowa.

In order to purify the filth of the body for half a year, write the date of birth and name on the "Katashiro" (Katashiro) at the shrine and stroke the body to the shrine. At the shrine, the "Katashiro" delivered is purified by the "Natsukoshi Grand Exorcism Ceremony" and flows it to rivers and the sea.

Koami Shrine's great exorcism is June 30. Also, at Namiwa Inari Shrine, Chinowa has already been set up since the festival in June, and the "large exorcism ceremony" is held on the first Saturday of July, this year after a large exorcism ceremony in the morning, and from the afternoon on the Sumida River wharf quay. Therefore, please pay the bill to the shrine by this "large exorcism ceremony". I want to purify the filth for half a year and welcome the next six months when I feel comfortable. Even though I'm not a pupil, I have received a fee from two companies. If the filth is too purified! What will happen?

The Japanese confectionery "Mizunazuki" is used to exorcise Natsukoshi. It is a confectionery made with red beans on a white gairo dough and a kitchen knife in a triangle. The red beans are exorcism, and the triangle shape represents ice that pays hot weather. In Kyoto, it is only available on June 30th. ・・ For some reason, this confectionery is often served in June, so I have already had it twice for my tea practice.
The photo is from "Tsukiji Takao" and seems to be making a cup of June. One is apricot pickles.

 This area around the Edo period was the residence of the Echizen Fukui feudal lord Matsudaira Echizen Mamoru.

The mansion was surrounded on three sides (north, west, south) by Iribori. This is called "Echizenbori".

I was there.　The revetment of Echizen moat is masonry, and stone walls are still excavated from the soil.

Yes, it seems to be.　The width of the moat is between 12 and 15 (about 20 to 30 m) and is used as a canal and cargo.

It seems that a small boat loaded with was passing through.

 

In the Meiji era, moats gradually reclaimed, and most of them were reclaimed after the Great Kanto Earthquake.

After that, it was completely buried.　Today, the name "Echizenbori" is named "Echizenbori Park".

You can only see it.

In Echizen Park, a boat called ECHIZEN LINE is built as a playground equipment, and elephants are around it.

・I have dolphins and sea otters.　Real SL and cars are arranged.

My granddaughter was born and I was looking for a gift to return.　Pay attention to the selection, as it is a memorable item that will return the amount you receive with the appropriate item.　At that time, I remembered Koransha, who was supporting the "Samurai Blue" of the World Cup South Africa tournament two years ago.

　

Immediately after entering the store, there is a black bamboo pottery. The splendid tableware is said to have been used for tableware at famous hotels.　I've noticed, but I chose the budget and memorable items.

     

 There are many artistic products in the store, and it's fun just to appreciate it.　Today, I registered as a member and got a 10% discount on the spot.　I was happy about this.

In the rainy season, it's time to go into a public bath and refresh yourself.

Today, I would like to introduce the famous "Kinharuyu" in the downtown area of Ginza. It's inside the building.

The inside was an old-fashioned public bath atmosphere contrary to expectations, and it was surprisingly good.

There are many people who know it because it was introduced on TV. Working at nearby restaurants and Tsukiji Markets

It seems that there are many people who live in the neighborhood.

 

The surrounding area is a club street, and I want to refresh myself. I can't do it very much.
