Tokyo (4) in the "Snow Snow"

[CAM] December 22, 2015 12:00

 

 I will continue to quote from the snow.

 

・・・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ I hung up saying that I would like my sister to have lunch here and have come early, but Etsuko decided to leave it in spring and thought about where to eat slowly after a long time with her sister, I remembered that she liked eel. In the past, I often went to an eel shop called Oguro-ya, which is called Konnyaku Island with my father, so when I asked if there is still a house, I'd like to ask Komanzu, but I'm waiting for you, but I'd like to go out to the Oguro-ya.

"This is similar to Osaka, and there is such a place in Tokyo," he said, looking around the flow of the river surrounding the room.
"It's like Osaka. --when I come to Tokyo at my daughter's time, my father always takes me here."
"Is this island called Konjac Island an island?"
"Let's do it. ---- I feel like there was no such house with a river before, but the place must be here. And Sachiko looked out of shoji door. In the past, when I came with my father, this riverbank street was a one-sided town, but now a house is built along the river, and Oguro-ya sandwiched between the road and from the main building on the opposite side It seemed to be carrying dishes to the side of the river, but the view of this parlor now is closer to the feeling of Osaka than before. For the parlor stands on a stone cliff where the river is bent in the hand of the key, and at the corner of the key, the two-strength rivers come together as if they were sitting in shoji door, reminding them of the view seen from the oyster boats on the four bridges. And here too, there were no four bridges, but three bridges, from the ten-character river to the river. Unfortunately, the downtown area around here, which seems to have been since the Edo era, had a common calmness in an old town similar to Naga Horibe in Osaka before the disaster, but now houses, bridges and paved roads are all renewed, and the traffic was quiet, and I felt somehow a new land.

 "Konjac Island" is also written on the bulletin board of Minato Bridge. The current Shinkawa area was called Reigishima (Rei Itsukushima) during the Edo period, and the contracted site for Reigishi Bridge was reclaimed during the Kyoho period, and Tomijimamachi 1-2-chome was located on the west side of 1845 (1845). It was established by land reclamation on the west side, but the Kamejima River and the coastal area were not well reclamation.

 Minato Bridge

"This bridge was built in 1679 (1679) to connect Rei Iwao Island (now known as Konjac Island in the Shinkawa area) and a landfill in the Hakozaki area on the opposite bank (Nakasu of the Sumida River). Was done.
This area has prospered as a key point of waterway traffic since the Edo period, and sake barrels were transported by barrel boat, especially connecting Edo and Kansai [upper].
According to the Edo Famous Zoukai, this bridge symbolizes the prosperity of the mouth of the Nihonbashi River, which formed Minatomachi at the time, and warehouses are lined up on the banks across the bridge, reminiscent of the bustle of the time.
The origin of the bridge name is named Minato Bridge because it was at the entrance of Edo Minato.
The current bridge was rebuilt during the reconstruction period after the Great Kanto Earthquake, and was renewed in the maintenance project in FY1989.                   In March 1990, Chuo-ku,"

 

"Yotsubashi" in Osaka, "Remembering the scenery seen from the oyster boats on the side of Yotsubashi", is also the name of the street (Yotsubashi-suji) and the name of the subway line (Yotsubashi Line), and its presence as a name is large. "There were no four bridges from the Jumonji river to the river, but three bridges were built" probably means Miyoshi Bridge in terms of distance. Mitsuhashi (Monoshiri Encyclopedia; page 40) is a little distance.

Miyoshi Bridge


 "In this bridge, the waterway connecting the Kaede River (Kaede River / Tsukiji River connecting canal) was excavated at the bent point of the Tsukiji River, and the river became a three-pronged shape. As part of the reconstruction plan after the Great Kanto Earthquake, a three-way bridge was built in December 1929.
There is a river here, people's lives are mainly run around the river, and the emotional scenery where the river line was passed through the river was now reclaimed and turned into an expressway and became an overpass.
In the ward, for 2004 and 5 years, the railing incorporates a grove that shines on the waterside, the lighting was installed at the time of the erecting, and the sidewalk that was partially removed as a lamp on the expressway for a while. The scenery was sceniced with a design that makes you feel the old taste.
   August 1993 Chuo-ku, Tokyo
