The bridge that appears in the novel "When the curtain of prayer goes down" is introduced in the order of the month written on the calendar in the novel, but this time around "Tokiwa Bridge" written on the calendar in April It is an introduction.
As you know, there are three bridges with the name "Tokiwa".
First of all, "Shin Tokiwa Bridge" connects Nihonbashi Motoishi-cho in Chuo-ku with Otemachi, Chiyoda-ku.
The soba shop "Muromachi Sandbox" located in Muromachi 4-chome, which goes a little from Shin-Tokiwa Bridge to Kanda, is the birthplace of Tenzaru.
Also, on the Chiyoda-ku side, the JR railway bridge spans the Nihonbashi River, and the railway bridge is marked with the emblem of Japan National Railways.
Next is "Jobanbashi". It is always written as "Iwan" instead of "board", but Tokiwa seems to have been taken from "Kanaba Wakashu", but there seems to be a story that the word stone was applied so that it did not break like a plate . It is currently under construction.
"Jobanbashi" was made of stone during the Meiji era, but the stone wall depicted in the picture above is the stone wall of the Masugata Tokiwa Bridge Gomon at the outer gate of Edo Castle heading toward Asakusa.
And it is the third "Tokiwa Bridge".
It is thought that this Tokiwa Bridge will appear in the novel.
