Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

August 11-12 was Reitaisai festival once every three years (maybe). I was able to see it for the first time.

Preparation began more than a month ago, and I was looking forward to what kind of festival it was.

The area around my home (Akimasa Elementary School) is a lunch break place, and it was usually filled with people in places where there were not so many people.

Even so, I didn't know that the shrine parishioner area of Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine in Koto-ku was in Chuo-ku. Also, Tsukuda Island has a festival of Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine, and I thought it would be very interesting that the portable shrine carrying was different just by separating one road.

Next time I really wanted to carry portable shrine.

 

 

The other day, I had the opportunity to have a person who lived in Tsukiji before the war show an old photo.

One of the most interesting things was "just after the end of the war" from the roof of "Navy Military Medical School (now Cancer Center)".
At that time, this building was requisitioned by the army and ordinary Japanese could not enter, so the photos at this angle seem to be very rare, but a soldier who happened to meet him said, `` I took a picture near your house. "

　The first one is a picture of Ginza on the left side of the rooftop.
The statue on the left end is a bronze statue of Arisugawa Shrine, which seems to be quite large.
The Tsukiji River has not yet been reclaimed, and at the bottom right is the Kitamon Bridge, which has now disappeared, and the bridge in the middle is the Saijo Bridge.
At present, there are many buildings ahead of it, including Jiji Tsushinsha, but in this photo, there are few tall buildings and there are places that are vacant, and instead of Showa-dori ahead, Ginza 4-chome You can look up to the "Wako Clock Tower" at the intersection!
It seems that there were quite a few buildings demolished in advance because this was "compulsory evacuation" in order to prevent the spread of fire, rather than burning in an air raid.

 The second one is the angle looking at Harumi-dori St. from the entrance of the current Tsukiji Social Education Center, and straight to the left to Ginza.
The river in the foreground was reclaimed afterwards, and the Tsukiji Social Education Center was built in that place.

It is said that "Tsukiji was spared from air raids because of St. Luke Hospital," but incendiary bombs aimed at Ginza seemed to fall considerably due to their aim and being washed away by the wind. "I can't forget that Schulsul and fire ran on this street," said the person who showed the photo.

It's been 67 years since the war ended.
Those who can talk about such things have become older, but I thought that we had to inherit the history of the city where we live.

 

 

 

 

 

In the west "Hot Koshien", which started on the 8th, Ebizo-san struggles early in the theater this month! The topic "Date's Ten Roles" is opening. I went out immediately with a friend of "Shrimp Life".

The great success of "Thank you very much." At the beginning of the opening, Ebizo in front of the panel of 10 roles played in the background divided into "good" and "bad" in the background, "Hajimomijiase no Kaomi" (Hajimomijiase no Kaomi) means "I will explain the face that has turned red like autumn leaves by changing the ten roles quickly while sweating."
He plays the ten roles of "deceiving, deceived", "slaughter", "cutting, judge", so if you tighten the daily "10 times cheering", you can see that the hall will be excited with the expectation of "10 times cheering".

This kyogen was written by the north and south by a combination of "Kara predecessor Hagi" and "Kaidan no Kaidan" based on the Date riot known as the three major riots in Edo. It was played in 1815 (1815) and played 10 roles such as Daijin Masaoka, Danki Dansei, and Katsumotoju Hosokawa. After that, the performance was discontinued, and the predecessor Sarunosuke revived in Meijiza in 1979, and since then it has become one of Sarunosuke's favorite roles. Ebizo played his first role in 2010 and replayed for the first time in 2 years and 7 months. In the second time, the early replacement was used to drifting stones and I don't know when it was changed. It is thought that it will be really tough physically because it will change 10 roles almost 50 times in a play close to 4 hours, but it is somewhat fun and easy to spare, from Dotetsu on the bank in the shape of a monk to Daio Takao , From Niki Dansei to Katsumoto, the judge role, and finally to the air ride. Early replacement is the main, so it is digested conveniently and it is not exactly the same as the story of "Hagi" or "Aggregation", but it is guaranteed that you can enjoy it.

Please take a look at the stage of Ebizo who blows away the remaining heat.
This month, "Fumiaki Azuma Sakurahime" here Fukusuke and Ainosuke will co-star at noon in the north and south kyogen. Senakiraku will be held on the 23rd.
