I studied a little bit about the history of Chuo-ku, Tokyo, and learned that when the former Nihonbashi-ku and the former Kyobashi-ku were integrated in 1947, the former Nihonbashi-ku, which surpasses history and tradition, showed a sense of resistance to the integration with the new Kyobashi-ku, and I felt a great sympathy about the feelings of Nihonbashi-ko.
According to various materials, in Nihonbashi Ward, before the war, especially before the Great Kanto Earthquake, both husbands and servants live together, and husbands line up desks at local elementary schools, etc. You seem to have a close sense of unity in the region. It seems that the son-in-law was customary, and it seems that a community similar to "Semba" in Osaka was formed.
More than 10 years before the birth of Chuo-ku, Tokyo, Junichirou Tanizaki, who was born and raised in Nihonbashi, said, "The worst thing about the reconstruction of Nihonbashi after the Great Kanto Earthquake is the fate of Nihonbashi children. The traces of their homes are included in the sphere of influence in Kyobashi Ginza Marunouchi ... "("Omofu Tokyo" and "Chuo Koron" from January to April 1997).
In addition, Isamu Yoshii (1886-1960)
I think sorrowfulness of Nihonbashi in my own way ("until yesterday")
I'm singing. Isamu Yoshii doesn't seem to be born or raised in Nihonbashi like Tanizaki, but it seems that he wrote a lot of songs around Nihonbashi and Nihonbashi. And later (1938), I moved to Kansai (Kyoto). In Kansai, it seems that there was a friendship with Tanizaki and Jun Kawada. I misunderstood Isamu Yoshii as a Kansai person from the famous song, "When I sleep in the crab, Gion goes down on the pillow." It seems that the Earl came out, but he has dropped out of the prefectural government. Did the above song compare the setbacks of your life to the subsidence of the power of the Nihonbashi area? "Until yesterday" was published in 1913.
