Chushingura's shadow

[Koedo Itabashi] December 10, 2014 14:00

December 14, 2014.

This day will be the election day for the lower house of the Diet.

On the TV before the announcement, along with the video of the defeat of Nanji Akaho, he conveyed the rush of the New Year's election.

 

"Sometimes December 14, 1702" ...

"The night breeze of Edo resonates with the Yamaga style's Jin Taiko, and one hit two hit three streams."

Haruo Minami's feature-length song "Tawarasei Genban"

While I was an elementary school student, I learned about the crispness and dramatic scene development twice and three times, and it was useful at the neighborhood association's hidden arts and year-end parties.

 

Now, from time to time, I walk around the city while spreading the old maps of Edo, and walking around Chushingura is a royal road.

The journey from Honjo Matsuzaka-cho to Takanawa Sengakuji Temple in front of the grave of Naganori Asano is the Golden Route of Shiwasu.

At the time of repatriation, Akaho Nanji proceeded without lifting his arms.

After protecting yourself with a chainmail, armed with bows, spears, and naginata, and defeating in groups, you must prepare for the hunters from Kira Uenosuke's Minako Uesugi Tsunanori and the pursuit of public security forces.

 

The repatriation route in Chuo-ku begins with Eitai Bridge.

It was said that it was bridged about 150 meters upstream from the current location, so it will be around Sumida River Ohashi.

From Minato Bridge, go through Reigishi Island and Kamejima and cross Takahashi.

Beyond that was the Akaho Domain Kamiyashiki.

It is located around the current St. Luke's College of Nursing, Akashi Elementary School.

This is also the birthplace of Takumi Asanouchi, Naganori.

If you go further south, Tsukiji Honganji Temple. The cottages are lined up with rags.

One of the forty-seven men, Peace pagoda of Shinroku Hazama, remains.

During the withdrawal, it is reported that his memorial service was tied to a spear and thrown into a temple fence.

Go through Tsukiji Market and proceed from Showa-dori to Shiodome-dori to enter Minato-ku.

 

I've read and compared some books, but I don't really know the detailed route.

However, even after more than 300 years since 1702 and 1702, you can still look for traces of rivers and bridges.

It's also interesting to follow the Oedo incident over 300 years.

 

When I traveled to Kira Town in Aichi Prefecture, I saw a play of "Chushingura seen from the Kira side" by local people.

The spirit was interesting, and I was longing for a famous lord locally, and purchased the root of "Kira no Akaba" that I boarded during a tour of the territory.
