At Kyobashi 3-chome, beside the expressway that separates Ginza and Kyobashi, there is a monument to the birthplace of Edo Kabuki.
This is because in the first year of Kanei (1624) in the early Edo period, Kanzaburo, the founder of Nakamura-za, raised a yagura (Yagura) at the Kabuki performance in the southern part of Nakahashi (now near Kyobashi 1-chome). It is due to the fried. This was the origin of Edo Kabuki.
In the upper center of the monument, imitating the tower, you can see Nakamuraya's fixed crest and Tsunokiri Ginkgo (Sumigiri Icho)
Next to the monument stands is Brother's Tokyo Showroom.
Brother Industries Co., Ltd. started with sewing machines, and is currently a listed company (headquartered in Nagoya), which boasts strong brand power in facsimiles, copiers, etc. Kaneyoshi Yasui founded the company in 1908, and the name "Brother" was derived from the fact that Masayoshi Yasui succeeded the business in 1925 and changed the company name to "Yasui sewing machine brothers and business association".
At the entrance of this Tokyo showroom, photos of the image characters Kantaro Nakamura and the Nananosuke Brothers (Brothers) are posted. Needless to say, Kantaro and Nananosuke brothers were Nakamuraya, the sons of the eighteenth generation Kanzaburo Nakamura, who died three years ago, and had been worried about their relationship with this next monument.
So, when I asked at the reception of the Brother Tokyo Showroom, "I need to solve the questions," I found that the birthplace of Edo Kabuki and the appointment of Nakamuraya Brothers have nothing to do with that. I just had a similar question from the client. That's right.
The photo below shows Nakamura-za, which was reproduced at the Edo Tokyo Museum (Sumida-ku).
