On the way back from a business trip to the Tohoku area 
by Shinkansen, get off the train at Hatchobori Station on the JR Keiyo Line, exit the ticket gate, and you will suddenly see the station stamp stand. When I was a child, I enjoyed collecting station stamps in a stamp book on my travels, but recently it has been a long time. It was also located at Hatchobori Station. 。 。
I'm curious about what kind of stamp it is, and when I push it on the white background of the back paper, a picture of Heizo Tanikawa, the Onihei, appears along with the word "Hatchobori Station Heizo Hasegawa's Birthplace". 
~ Regarding Heizo Hasegawa, there may be no need to explain again, but for those who are not very familiar with history, here is a mini commentary.
Heizo Hasegawa (1745?) ~ 1795) was an active part in the middle of the Edo period, "Fire thieve thieve thieve thieves (the secretary of the special police of Edo, the secretary of fire thieve thieve thieve thieve thieves), and is a housing facility for unjukud people in Ishikawajima (currently Tsukuda, Chuo-ku). There is also a achievement of making a place. （/archive/2014/06/post-2075.html）
In Shotaro Ikenami's novel "Kihei Crime Book", he plays an active role in cracking down on violent crimes as the main character. In the novel, it is called "Oni no Heizo (= Onihei)" because of the terribleness of the crackdown.

"Hey, Heizo Hasegawa lived in Hatchobori!"
According to the novel setting, the residence where the Heizo couple lives is "Shimizumongai (currently Kudan, Chiyoda-ku). Around Chiyoda-ku government office) ", And when he was young, he was temporarily called "Headquarters Tetsu" due to the complexity of the home environment, and lived in Honjo Kikukawa (currently Sumida-ku). Heizo Hasegawa seems to have lived in various places in Edo.
It seems that lawyers such as the late Masajiro Takigawa (former professor of Kokugakuin University) and Kazuyoshi Shigematsu (former professor of Chuo Gakuin University) are discussing the place of birth of Heizo, but it does not lead to definitive verification. It seems that there are multiple possibilities. 。 。
Akasaka / Tsukiji-cho (a worship house where my father, Nobuo lived. The theory that he was born in Akasaka 5-chome) and grew up to 5 years old, then moved to Tsukiji Honminato-cho, the theory that he was born in Honjo / Kikukawa and grew up there, or the theory that he grew up in Tsukiji Honminato-cho from birth until the age of 19 Theory that he grew up. 。 。
Even if none of the theories lack the decisive factor and does not come out of the estimation, Heizo later set up a crowd on Ishikawajima, so it seems that there is a deep connection with Tsukiji Motominato-cho, that is, the current Minato, Chuo-ku district. A local historian (Chuo-ku Local History Club) focused on "I lived in Tsuda Shichiemon Yashiki in Tsukiji Honminato-cho from 5 to 19 years old, and then moved to Honjo Kikukawa at the age of 19." According to an old map, Tsuda Yashiki was opposite Matsudaira Awamori, so Heizo currently lives around 1. By the way, this place will be around "Okashishi Shigeda" (/archive / 2015/12/post-2928.html) introduced in a blog post dated December 14 (Tetsugunsu Inari Shrine was transferred from Inaribashi Higashizume to Matsudaira Awa Moriyashiki Ruins, so the current Heizo Shrine is opposite.

However, this is also an estimation theory of local historians, and even if you go to the site, there is no explanation version by the Board of Education, but as a local resident, I feel romance about the story that Heizo lived in the neighborhood .
Well, "Onihei Crime Book" is a novel with many fiction elements by Shotaro Ikenami, so apart from the fact, I hope you can enjoy it as a "story" without much stiff shoulders. For example, it is said that Gotetsu, a military pot pot shop that Heizo used as a place for communication with smoky reconnaissance, was located in Honjo (around both Sumida-ku), but the model was Ningyocho "Tamahide". It is said that it was. Regarding the mysteries about Heizo's birthplace, let's not stand on the specific theory here, but wait patiently for the research results of experts such as historians in the future.
