Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

I noticed that it was already November. In the daytime when the sun is sunny, you can still enjoy walking around the city, but the sunset time is much faster and it is a long night of autumn. It was a fun season to return home early and read after eating. This time, as the third installment of "Chuo-ku to enjoy in literature", we will introduce "Angry Fuji" (written by Jiro Nitta), in which Kanto-gun Dai Ina Hanzaemon Tadajun (Tadanobu) plays an active role as the main character.

 

The period was the Hoei era in the middle of the Edo period (1704-1710). As can be seen from the title, it begins on November 23, 1707, when Mount Fuji exploded. The eruption lasts for 17 days, and the foot of Mt. Fuji is buried with falling sand and volcanic ash, making it difficult for farmers not only to cultivate fields but also to continue living. Under such circumstances, Hanzaemon Ina of Kanto-gun will be responsible for cleaning up the damage caused by the great explosion on Mount Fuji. Hanzaemon struggles to save farmers with high morals, but the peasants' plights elsewhere and the bureaucrats of the Shogunate who struggle to overcome power struggles have caused the funds to be washed away and reconstruction is difficult. . Hanzaemon can't see such a situation, and will open Yonekura in the Shogunate's Sunpu (now Shizuoka City) and distribute it to the hungry of disaster area. As a result, he is said to take responsibility for this illegal act.

 

It is difficult to understand just by hearing the duties of Kanto-gundai, but it is said that he was the best family of Tokugawa shogunate's deputy, ruled Kanpachishu and had the power to surpass the daimyo. Since the first Tadatsugu Ina, he has served the Tokugawa family for generations as a practical bureaucrat in charge of civil engineering technology such as river renovation of the Tone River and Arakawa River, and Hanzaemon Tadajun is the seventh generation (the Ina family's Kanto-gun representative is the house turmoil Until the 12th Tadason was rebuilt in 1792). The novel focuses on the story of the cleanup of the Mount Fuji explosion of Hanzaemon, but Hanzaemon's achievements are rather common in Edo, and the bridge of Eitai Bridge commemorating the 50th birthday of the 5th Shogun Tsunayoshi (1698), Fukagawa, Honjo, Asakusa River, and other flood control-related works are being carried out in Asakusa Ward, and the current residence in Kanto-gun. In the novel, reconstruction after the eruption of Mount Fuji is the center of the story, so there are many scenes such as Sunpu and Sako, but Bakurocho's official residence will appear in situations such as communication with the Shogunate and paperwork. Why don't you think about Asakusabashi in the Edo period in a novel on the long night of autumn? In addition, there is a commentary version of the Gundai mansion next to the Higashinihombashi police station in Asakusabashi Minamizume, and a monument to the site of Asakusa Mitsuke is built on Kitazume (Taito Ward side).

Location: 2, Bakurocho, Chuo-ku

Access A 2-minute walk from JR Bakurocho Station and a 5-minute walk from Asakusabashi Station on the JR Toei Asakusa Line.

(There is a commentary board of "Gundai Yashiki Ruins" next to Higashinihombashi Police Station.)

 

 

It is "Kachidoki's ferry trace" at the base of Kachidokibashi.

・

・

In 1905, Kyobashi residents at that time set up a ferryboat and donated it to Tokyo City, and operated to the Kachidokibashi Bridge in 1940.
The stone monument was at the time of the establishment of the ferry port, but the location of the ferry port is different from the present, and it seems that it was around Namiwa Inari Shrine.

・

There is also a monument to the Naval Accounting School nearby.

・

・

It is a naval-related school that lasted for about 70 years, and it is said that there are more than 10,000 graduates.

・

We were able to see "Tsukiji Ohashi", whose name was decided in September 2014.

・

・

It was built with the concept of "a bridge that is still proud of the people of Tokyo even after 100 years after construction."

Looking up from a ship sailing on the Sumida River, it looks like this.

On Sunday, October 24, Chuo-ku Health and Welfare Festival 2015 was held in Akatsuki Park and others. . This year, my wife participated with my pet dog and custody dog.

　

By the way, on the other hand, I'm away from the venue, Akatsuki Park, and I'm unintentionally attracted to a famous store.

　

Mr. Miyakawa Honten. (Tsukiji 1-4-6)

　

When you open the heavy door, you will find a small window (payment office) and stairs on your left.

When you are guided up to the second floor, you will find a small table seat and a tatami room behind it.

When I visited last time, it was a table, so this time I chose a parlor.

　

I ordered a classic eel weight that I was wondering if it would be white baked.

Due to the difference in the amount of eel, there are four stages from a to b (a is the bottom), but as a rule when I was lost, I chose "second from the bottom". And it's a bit.

　

About 20 minutes after the order, I spent a lot of time drinking beer and almost found mobile e-mails while drinking beer, I came first.

There are a slightly darker soup stock, plenty of cucumbers and eels cut into four corners.

As you eat cucumbers, eels are laid again under the soup stock. It's amazing!

　

Well, it's 50 minutes to wait after ordering. I'm here, Unashige "R."

This is a little spicy. The eel is fluffy. Just touch it with chopsticks.

Sansho doesn't have too strong aroma, but it remains at the tip of the tongue and has a good presence.

Shinka is basically Narazuke. It was 2 pieces.

　

Oh, it's a really nice shop. It's definitely delicious!

The price is 6,000 yenya. It's not seldom where you can come, but

I needed this shop to gain power and motivation to do my best.

　

Thank you very much for your feast.

　

 

 

 "Flower Carpet Harumi 2015" started on October 31st. The event will be held until 15:00 on November 4th.

On the promenade of the cherry blossoms at Harumi Triton Square at the venue, beautifully finished works using rose petals are displayed.

This year's theme is "Four Seasons-Japan Four Seasons". Let's introduce some of the works.

The title of this work is "The Wind of Lavender". A girl walking across the lavender field. Do you mean that the thoughts in your heart are lavender?

When I talked to a lady taking a commemorative photo in front of the work, she said that this girl also participated in the production of the work. With the consent of this child's mother, I will introduce it along with the work.

The title of this work is "Spring to Hokekyo". Cherry blossoms and Japanese bush warbler. It's beautiful.

At the opening ceremony venue, members of the brass band at Harumi Junior High School were playing JAZZ. I also Swed it to a light rhythm.

Soon, it's a lighting ceremony for Christmas illuminations. At the lighting ceremony, Mayor Yada, a local celebrity, and Miss Chuo, the 34th Chuo-ku Tourism Ambassador, added flowers.

The work after it is turned on will appear vividly on the promenade.

On the way home, I noticed that the "Triton Bridge", which connects the venue to Kachidoki Station, was also decorated with colorful illuminations. It's very nice.

The exhibition will be held until November 4.　Why don't you spend a romantic moment here?　

Postscript: The event previously called "Harumi Infiorata" changed its name from 2011.

 

 

　Currently, a building in the corner of Ginza "4-chome Intersection" is under construction, but the enclosure contains old and new photographs showing the history, so I will record it.

　

   There is also a sign indicating that there was once a "Cafe Lion".

　

 

 

 　"Shintomiza Children's Kabuki in Ginza" will be held on November 3 at Yasuaki Elementary School, Chuo-ku.

The performance is 1. 2. Yoshimitsu Tomoe Shiranami Okawabata Koshinzuka, 3. A place where the five Shiranami men of Inasegawa are aligned

Each is familiar, but it is very cool because the children play hard and get a good idea.

I received a flyer from the post office manager of Ginza Dori.

 

 This time, the Ginza Association / Ginza Town Planning Conference is sponsored, but as one of the sponsors, the Ginza Subcommittee Post Office (including the Ginza Tori Post Office), is also included.

As one of the events, "Children's Kabuki Letter Event" will be held.

Let's send a letter to an important person with a Kabuki postmark! That's the purpose.

Take a picture with a Polaroid camera against the background of the children's Kabuki stage.

A letter event will be held to send the excitement to your loved ones by letter.

It is said that you can commemorate the "Ginza San Post Office Landscape Stamp" related to Kabuki and post it to a special post at the venue.
