In the daytime, you can enjoy 
the warm sunshine, but the season is completely winter. When the sun went down, it was a season when you could catch a cold unless you go out with a warm look. Today, I would like to talk 
about literary works related to Chuo-ku as a recommendation for such a season. In June of this year, on the Chuo-ku sightseeing blog, we talked about Seicho Matsumoto's "Mujukujinbetsu Book" (Bunshun Bunko), set in the Ishikawajimajin Ashoba (/archive / author /ck1401 /), introduced as the second installment. It is Shugoro Yamamoto's "Sabu" (Shincho Bunko).
"In the evening when the light rain burst like a haze, the bust crossed Ryogoku Bridge from west to east, crying. On a twin-striped kimono, a thin corner belt of Kokura, a faded black front hanging, and wet from my head." The story that begins with the lonely appearance of Sabu, which is also the title of the book, goes with Sabu to Eiji, who works at Omogiya Yoshikodo in Nihonbashikobunacho. In the same age, the two who started serving together at the age of 12 were 20 years old, they were able to work well, and Eiji, who was in front of a man, was busy every day with the work of money exchange merchant cotton in Honmachi. I was sending, but one day suddenly my master gives my time. Eiji, who was suspected of being the culprit of the theft that occurred in cotton sentences, tried to clear the innocence, but he ate the front payment from the cotton sentence and, as a result, was put into the prison of Kitamachi magistrate . Eiji, who was desperate for the preparation from his trusted customer and master, closed his mouth at all for the interrogation and did not talk about his address or occupation, so he was considered an innocence person and was sent to the Ishikawajima folk vaudeville. I will. "This place does not consider the detainee as a sinner, those who have a job in their hands can swell in their jobs, and those who do not have a job can find their favorite job. They are paid for those tasks, and they will be the source of proper work when they come to the world." Eiji, who has not heard the explanation of the concentric of the venue, has also grown through various incidents that occur at the venue, fights, storm surges caused by typhoons, exchanges with officials and other detainees, and friendships of old knowledge who visit visits You. "The three years of the visit at the place have been more useful than 10 years in Shaba." After spending more than 200 pages in the visit, Eiji leaves the island and welcomes a happy ending, reveals the mystery of the theft, but let's make it fun to read.
Nowadays, high-rise apartments in Okawabata River City are lined up, and it is a place for people who leave a slight remnant at the monument of Ishikawajima Lighthouse in Tsukuda Park, but "Sabu" takes us to Nihonbashi and Ishikawajima in the Edo period . Why don't you travel around the town of Edo at Shugoro Yamamoto World while warming hot on a cold night?
