By the way, we continue the city walk along Chuo-dori, this time we are heading south.
You will find Takashimaya on your right and the bookstore Maruzen Nihonbashi store on your left.
Maruzen is on the third floor of the Western-style book corner, but at World Antique Plaza, here is the world.
Until August 4th, an old book exhibition is being held under the title "Japan knitted in Siebold".
Speaking of Siebold, since 1823, he has been visiting Japan for six years as a doctor of Dutch trading post on Dejima, Nagasaki.
I have the impression of being a first-class foreigner who analyzed Japan and spread it both domestically and internationally.
From the literature left by Siebold, you can see the cultural climate and life of the Japanese in the late Edo period visually.
In addition, there is a picture of the scenery around Nihonbashi in the past. Certainly, it's the appearance (report) to the general.
I think it was around Ienari Tokugawa. At that time, it was "Nagasakiya" per 3-chome Muromachi.
I think I've stayed there. There must have been many Japanese friends in Siebold,
To interact with overseas, you must be able to speak first, make friends.
I don't think it's the same that this is the secret.
How about Hayashi rice to go home? This origin is often said,
It is derived from the simmered beef and vegetables made by Yuteki Hayashi, the founder of Maruzen.
