Kafu Nagai and Chuo-ku

[CAM] September 23, 2015 18:00

 In 1917, Kafu lived in a rented house in Kobiki-cho, Muyo-an, when he began writing "Shokutei Nijo". However, it is just a double life, for the convenience of going to a sick hospital, and while keeping the main house in Okubo Yochomachi.

 

  On September 20, 1917, "Because I walked yesterday, I couldn't get hungry this morning. Go to Kokiya in Shimogicho and wait for the visit of Kunite Oishi. In the first place, this Oishi-kun Okubo's house can only be visited by the road, so I borrowed it to receive a medical examination in the event of a sudden disease. ・・ ・ ・ ・ I think of the naming of the bongiya without being able to sleep deeply. At last, I ordered him to make him an unyoan."

 

On December 29, 1917, "Look at the Ginza All Year Market. Including the Hagoita store in Shimbashi Domae, there are no places that change year by year. "

On October 2, 1918, "Rain geys. I haven't seen it for a long time and enjoy the morning scenery of Tsukiji, and return home after Manpo Kiboricho. "

On October 13, 1918, "Look at Shintomiza with three geisha from Shintomi-cho"

 

     It has been around for about a year in Kobiki-cho, Muyo-an, and then moved to Tsukiji Honganji in December 1918 at 2-30 Tsukiji. This time I bought a house for sale instead of a rented house. He sold out the house in Okubo Yochomachi, which he inherited from his father, and bought it with the money. I moved my family register here and drew a phone call.

 

On December 22, 1918, "The house behind Tsukiji 2-chome alleyway is gradually vacant. Take the lead of Takeda's man foot and carry the furniture cabinet."

On December 25, 1918, "I walk in Ginza in the evening." Let's come down again. The night's snow behind the alleys is not the same."

 

    Before and after moving to Tsukiji 2-chome, during the New Year of Taisho 8 (1919), he frequently met geisha Yae Fuku in Shimbashi, and on December 30, 1918, "When I was going to sleep, Yae Fuku and the gate, and the life of solitary coolness will end with the year. You should be sorrowful that you will be rejoicing." On the 4th of New Year's Day in Taisho 8 (1919), "It became more and more dense following the day of friendship with Yaefuku. I feel comfortable to come in spring suddenly because of the loneliness of many years."

 

    However, on the 16th of New Year's Day in 1919 (1919), "Invite an old woman of Sakuragi, drop off Yaefuku, and consult with Yuki who became the name of an adopted woman. ・・ ・ If there is no parent or brother to Fukuyuki Yae, and the nature is extremely mild, if it is appropriate to take care of my illness, I will be consulted a few days ago. In order to search for the identity of a woman in Sakuragi's old Jinjin, she is an unthinkable eater, not an adoptive woman, but rather as a guigeisha. People laugh at what they don't see, and this one is kept secret. " In the description of Yaefuku before and after this, there is a feeling that Kafu fell in love with Yaefuku both physically and mentally, and it is interesting, but unfortunately it is slightly off the purpose of this article, so unfortunately (laughs) I want to do this much .
