[CAM] Nov. 12, 2015 14:00

 

It's a TV channel    I've never seen before, but "BS11" "Unravel mysteries with old maps!" I noticed a program called "The origin of the commercial city Tokyo drawn by Ieyasu ... Matsuya Onoe explores Nihonbashi every Tuesday night from 8:00 to 8:54) and saw it (November 10).

 

 Since it was a program of less than an hour, it was not so deep, but it was a useful program that was explained plainly with images while citing old maps.

 

"Exploring the land based on old maps of each city is a bit different from ordinary history exploration programs. We compare the map different from each age with the current actual location, and unravel the history while imagining changes. "

 

 Today (November 10), the relationship between Nihonbashi Riverside and Ieyasu Tokugawa, and the origin of Tsukuda Island was explained as a connection, and as a long-established store in Nihonbashi, "Benmatsu", "Ibasen", "Ozuya (Ozu Washi) "and so on.

 

 The next theme is "Tsukiji, a town that has built history with the times."
