　　On October 19, I looked into "Betara City".

 

On page 168 of Monoshiri Encyclopedia, there was a tradition that Ebisu-ko was held on October 20 at the gate of Takarada Ebisu Shrine in Otemmacho during the Edo period. ・・ ・ ・ On the 19th the day before, there was a market selling offering. ・・ ・ One day, radish pickles began to be sold in the city. ・... The store also called in customers with a lively shout, "Betara, Betara," and explained that the city on the day before Ebisu-ko came to be called "Betara City".

 

　portable shrine was out, too.

 

 

 

On page 168 of Monoshiri Encyclopedia, the date is as usual for two days on October 19 and 20, and in the area from Takarada Ebisu Shrine to Sugimori Shrine, there are hundreds of stalls that sell Betara pickles, It was explained that there were many stalls in the eaves, but there was no interruption from the Sugi Shrine to the Takarada Ebisu Shrine.

 

 

 

 

At present, this brochure is

"From here, Edo power! Nihonbashi Hundred Views are located at the Securities Hall (Tokyo Securities Credit Union) in Kayabacho on the Tozai Line (Tokyo Securities Credit Union), post offices near Kayabacho on the Hibiya Line, the Small and Medium Enterprises Hall and Smile Hotel.

　

And the gentle and familiar watercolor postcards by Keita Ueno, who are healed just by looking at it, are handled at Taisei Printing Co., Ltd. (Nihonbashi Marching Committee), Anzai stationery store, Hotel Villa Fontaine Tokyo Hatchobori, Sotetsu Fresserine It was done.

　

"Nihonbashi Marching Committee" is formed by volunteers from a local printing company, and "Marching" is a coined word representing "town ing".

Even on a hot day in October, I passed in front of Moroi Konjac store in Tsukiji.

　

A man was buying a stick-shaped agar in a bag.

He seems to make anmitsu by arranging it by himself.

　

I also bought a stick-shaped agar and ate canned mandarin oranges, pineapples, tsubuan, and black honey.

　

I was impressed by the freshness of the agar.

　

In the past, there were several shops of the same industry, but now it is said that Moroi Konjac shops have become only.

　

Next week, I bought black konjac too!

This is also delicious

If you think it was made in Tsukiji, it feels even more delicious.

　In "Monoshiri Encyclopedia", there are explanations on pages 109 and 146. The bulletin board in the photo on page 147 was new (with English and painting).

 

 

This is part of the Shin-Tsukuda Island Reclaimed Land completed in 1896, and at that time it was a quiet scenic spot where the mountains of Boso could be seen in the cloud.
　The Shikaikan, a boarding inn built by Hanzo Tsuboi, was built by many cultural figures, including literary artists, poets, and painters.
　In 1907, Toson Shimazaki wrote "Spring", and the following year introduced Fujimura, Kaoru Osanai wrote "Okawabata", and around the 2nd to 3rd year, Sonosuke Sato, Shohachi Kimura, Yumeji Takehisa, Rofu Miki, Bunnosuke Nisatsu, Tenmin Matsuzaki, Kendoyama, etc. are also held here.
　This monument was built in 1968 by the Fujimura Research Department of Meiji Gakuin University, the alma mater of Fujimura, and the back is the description of the origin of "Spring".

 

　Fujimura seems to have spent about a year since September 1907 (1907) from the preparation of writing "Spring" to the end of the serialization. This "spring" was published 135 times in the Asahi Shimbun from April 7, 1908 after Soseki Natsume's "piter".

 

　During writing, Fujimura told an acquaintance about the state of this seawater hall, etc., "Half this year-I need to write two-thirds of the time I can do it ... I think that I will move to an inn on this coast from yesterday. This inn does not tell my friends ... The writing of the Asahi Shimbun has not yet been announced to the world. In a room in the west corner of the second floor, it combines the quietness of a temple and the convenience of a dormitory. "

　"Hanatsubaki-dori" is the street that crosses the 7-chome to 8-chome on Chuo-dori, the main street of Ginza. Izumo camellia donated by Izumo City was planted as a street tree, so it seems that the current name was given.

 

　In "Ginza Hanatsubaki-dori Official Webb", "(at the time of the founding of Edo shogunate) reclaimed the sea called "Hibiya Irie", and maintenance aimed at expanding the castle town was completed 30 years later, and Edo-yashiki, a feudal lord of various clans, was launched to be built. In this area, the Matsue clan's upper residence was built. Since the Matsue clan owned Izumo one country, it was named "Izumo-cho", and the street was also called "Izumo-dori" like the street name, and "In 1934 the origin of the street name camellia contributed. "

 

　At present, granite is laid neatly, and as a memorial to its maintenance, a statue of Hana, a ponytail girl with camellia flowers, is placed. The eight camellias contributed from Izumo are still alive and you can see beautiful red flowers from March to April. Also, dogwood in the United States is planted as a street tree. It continues to be loved as a vibrant street that attracts tourists from all over the year, regardless of men and women of all ages.

　In the past, the "Shiseido" symbol mark is called "Hanatsubaki", and the name "Tsubaki" has been often used in activities related to Shiseido. However, this symbol was discontinued in advertising in 1987, and since 1989, it has been removed from the product and its use has been limited to extremely narrow areas such as stock certificates. However, the policy has been changed since 2004. As a "Tsubaki" fan, I am happy to return to the tradition of Shiseido's policy.

　

 

　Looking at the Shiseido Group website, "Shiseido's symbol "Hanatsubaki" was designed and created by the first president Shinzo Fukuhara in 1915. Even after several fine-tunings have been made since then, Shiseido's unwavering identity has continued to this day."

 

　  As a matter of fact, my blog name "CAM" is an initial letter of "Camellia".
