The City Local Tenmonkan (Time Dome Akashi) carefully selects and displays the key to understanding the lives of Chuo-ku from the ancient document owned by the museum and related materials. A gallery talk by curators will also be held during the period. The exhibition will be closed on Monday until February 24, and admission is free.
There is an impression that ancient document is difficult to catch, but there is a proof of people's lives and a living record that has devoted himself to business. From letters and round-trip documents to old records such as diaries and books, it is displayed, including those designated as inhabitants' cultural properties.
The Hattori Family Document is a record of a paper wholesaler in Nihonbashi. It was an Ise merchant and had an Edo store in Horidome-cho. Approximately 1,000 documents from 1796 (1796) to the Showa period have been left. In 1883 (1883), the amount of money is stated in the Hattori family's unique signature. It can be seen that the signature was also used at this time.
The documents related to Taneaki Hara, which are said to be the last power of late Tokugawa shogunate, relate to Taneaki Hara, who was the power of Minamicho magistrate's office at Hatchobori Gumiyashiki. After the Meiji Restoration, while working as a social entrepreneur, he also worked hard to record the actual situation of the town magistrate's office. Some of these materials have become cultural properties of inhabitants of the ward. Some of them were told in 1844 (1844), such as "One Dutch marmot was paid, so I will bid at Nagasakiya."
The materials related to the Funajuku Yamazakiya were from the early Meiji era when the train was relocated to Sanjumabori due to the opening of the railway and ran the inn. In addition to the "gate tag" of 1872 (1872), which can be said to be a ship passer permit, the signboard and business license of the carrying ship "Takao Maru" are displayed.
Documents excavated from the Nakagawa Family Residence in the Bungooka Domain were excavated from the hole at the site of the Nakagawa Family Kamiyashiki near the former Akashi Junior High School, and are thought to have been damaged by the great fire of 1866 (1866). It is a document that has been carbonized. It is said that this was preserved one by one, and the decipherment began. A part of the diary, which includes writing and the Yodome book, is written in 1865 (1865), is a valuable document.
In addition to these, there is also an exhibition of documents related to Tsukuda Island ferry. A commentary sheet is prepared to deepen the understanding of the viewing, so I would like to use it. The Local Tenmonkan is calling for consultation if there are old materials, not only during the Edo period, the Meiji period, and before and after the war. ●Akira Makibuchi
