Shincho's "Hyakukawa"

[Koedo Itabashi] January 18, 2015 15:00

Invited by the calm sunshine of winter, I walked around the Nihonbashi area casually.

Muromachi 2-chome. "Fukutoku Shrine". It's a hot spot right now.

A god-like person with white hair and beard appears with a cane.

The name is fukui, and the alias called "Mebuki Shrine" also makes you feel the swelling of the New Year.

The shrine hall was rebuilt last October, with a history of more than a thousand years since the Heian period.

The freshness is even more vivid.

A small square on the left from the front of shrine hall.

In the northwest corner, there is a monument of Ukiyokoji.

"Ukiyo Shoji," It's a cheerful name, but it's said that it was the street where the food shop was concentrated.

There was also a description of the restaurant "Momokawa".

It was a restaurant representing the Edo period, and existed until the early Meiji era.

Is it the stage of "Hyakukawa" in rakugo?

"Hyakukawa" is a performance that is said to be the 18th of the sixth generation Sanyutei Ensei.

I heard Kokontei Shin-Dynasty first in the CD selection.

Hyakubei, who came out of the countryside, told by Shin Asa.

It's good, isn't it?

It doesn't smell bad, but it's a good old man.

I wonder if I will work at a restaurant that was counted as one of the five fingers of Edo.

After all, it is always the case that is not the case.

With the words and the early swallowing of Edokko ...

Speaking of Shin Asa Master, a rakugo artist whose scenery of Edo emerges in front of you when you perform, such as a smart Edo kid, a growing young husband, a cheerful craftsman, and a colorful older sister.

When you hear the flowing tempo, tatto, tatto, tar, etc., your chest will be relieved.

"Hyakukawa" is also a story born from the restaurant's PR strategy, but if so, there was a famous producer.

The season of the story is around Kanda festival, so it is divided into summer.

Well, I wanted to listen back to one seat on the cheerfulness of classical rakugo.

 

 

Ganso Kamo Seiro shop ★Chojuan

[Mapo ★] January 16, 2015 09:00

This is also the shop that was listed on the lunch passport book.

For one of the women, soba is light and easy to enter, so it's just biased.

 

It is located on the back of two post offices in Ginza 1-chome on Showa-dori.
A long-established soba shop founded in 1935.

 

And it seems that it is also a shop of the original Kamo Seiro.
I went there because I could eat the duck seiro for 500 yen.
 
The amount is small, but it was just right for me because it was lunch.
Maybe it's not enough for men.

It seems that duck meat is made from 100% domestic duck loin meat and thigh meat from Saitama Prefecture.
The soup stock was also fragrant and delicious.★

Sobagiri and Yamagatada ★Soba in Ginza

[Mapo ★] January 14, 2015 16:00

This is also the shop that was listed in the Ginza lunch passport book.
Soba is good when you want to eat lightly.★

 

It is located around 2 backs of Ginza Matsuya.

 
This shop wants to spread delicious soba from Yamagata.
It seems to be a shop started by volunteers from the Youth Club of Yamagata Chamber of Commerce.

 
This is a country side called a board.
It's thick and has a great response to eating.

Whether it's udon or soba, I like thinner.
This was quite delicious (*^^*)

The 60th Cold Water Bathing Tournament (Kannaka Misogi)-Tetsugunsu Inari Shrine

[Taro Edo] January 14, 2015 12:00

I went to the cold bathing tournament at Tetsunan Inari Shrine, a New Year's tradition in Chuo-ku, Tokyo.

 

1) Date and time
It was carried out from 11:00 am to 11:35 am on Sunday, January 11, 2015.
 
2) Venue
1-6-7 Minato, Chuo-ku, Tokyo
 
3) Overview
It was started as a ritual of purification for sound health for one year.
It started in 1955 and this is the 60th time this year.
After Miyashi's exorcism, a careful preparatory exercise is carried out, and about 100 people in loincloths (for women, white clothing) enter the aquarium with ice pillars.
 
4) The significance of bathing in the cold
Every year in the beginning of the New Year, during the cold bath at the Tetsugansu Inari Shrine is a Shinto ritual that prays for sound health by bathing in cold water in front of the shrine in the New Year and performing a purification ceremony to clean the mind and body. It is a pure Japanese language that is not found in Chinese language, so it can be seen that it is a custom unique to Japan.
It is said that the 60th anniversary of the festival was revived in 2015 by local people who were saved from epidemic diseases through thin clothes and bathing in the Edo period with gratitude to guardian god.
Since it was introduced to the top in the "Water Festival" section of the Adult Metropolitan Area Walking Magazine "Walking Master Mook / Festival & Event Calendar 2009" issued by the Kotsu Shimbun in 2008, Kanto's best tradition It has gained popularity as a prestigious water festival, and the number of participants and visitors increases every year.
 
5) How to bathe in the cold
Nara period, who was born in Usa-gun, Oita Prefecture in 1862, revived the purification method of Mitake Shrine, located at the summit of Mt. Mitake (929m), Ome City, Tokyo. There are a number of schools, but there is no big difference, and the cold bathing performed at Tetsugansu Inari Shrine is also performed by the purification method of the river surface style under the guidance of the Tokyo Shrine Agency's Narinari Event Michihiko (Guman) and Naotsushi Shinoheikawa Shrine Miyaji. It is done.
 
After going out on the public road and running around the shrine, as the Tetsugunshu Hayashi played in Kagura Hall flows, they performed bird boats for preparatory exercises, entered a cool water tank with large icicles, immersed in cold water to the chest, and soaked in cold water...."I purify my mind and body while doing the soul while chanting." After the end, we will conduct a reorganization campaign with a bird boat again and finish the cold purification ceremony.
 
The Arido Okami is the gods responsible for the exorcism in Shinto.•The filth flows from the river to the sea.•Fast-opening Tobi Sales (Since on the Seabed)•It is the four gods of swallowing the filthyness), Ki Fukido (breathing in the root country), and Hasasurahiuri (the sins and filth brought into the root country and loses). It is also called the four gods of exorcism, and it is a thankful gods who release our sins and filth deep underground based on the same concept as the current waste disposal. Therefore, during the water line, he recites Arido Okami many times. Miyaji's felicitation "great exorcism Lyrics" in great exorcism in June and December recites the relay of sin and filth by the Oga and others, so I understand you are listening well.

The details are as follows.
 
1) Run around the shrine
2) Bird boat event (Torifuneiji)
3) The soul (Furitama)
4) Yuken event (Otakebigyoji)
5) Yuzume event (Okorobigyoji)
6) Kebuki event
7) Kanmisogi
