Yukio Mishima's novel "Happiness Go Deho"

[CAM] March 17, 2016 18:00

 Yukio Mishima's novel "Happiness Go Deho" was serialized in the Yomiuri Shimbun from June to November 1955, and a book was published in 1956 (1956). The main character's brother and sister (although it is finally revealed that blood is not connected) grew up in an old rented house in Tsukishima, and his sister works in a department store in Ginza, Tsukishima and Kachidokibashi often appear during his work.
 
 During the work, smuggling around Tokyo Bay and the Sumida River is depicted, but at that time Japan was under full protectionism and imported goods were subject to high tariffs, so smuggling goods at that time had many items such as watches and were mainly done by ships.
 
 There are the following descriptions in the beginning of the work.
 
>Look at the telescope.
 On the right, you can see the moss moss moss green in Hamarikyu Park and the boat lining off the sea. The horizon is faintly cloudy.
 She changed the angle to the left.
 The complicated building looked like a piece of Oshie. The T hot spring building, its Mukamu T theater, and the green side of the green roof at Tsukiji Honganji Temple in Mukamu, look like a layered painting one after another. The scarce smoke of the large chimneys of the high T hot spring distorted the landscape of the distant port, like a shadow. The only thing you hear is the horn of a car that echoes and rises all over the valley of the building.
 Suddenly, the scorched point of the lens is fixed to the bridge that connects the fish shore, and clearly shows the willow at the side of the bridge and the self-turned car. But that's not what she wants to see. Turn the lens just a little to the left. On the outskirts of the roof of the fish riverbank, the quench of the bonded warehouse on the opposite bank of Kachidokibashi looked like him. (8-352)
 
 There is a store in N department store, but it is unknown whether Matsuya, Mitsukoshi or Matsuzakaya. Since Matsuzakaya is under construction, we examined the view from the roof of the current Matsuya and Mitsukoshi department stores.
 
 Even if you look at the Sumida River from the roof of Matsuya, you can hardly see the view as follows. You can barely see the top of the St. Luke's Tower.

 From the 12th floor of Mitsukoshi, you can see the East Drama Building, but you can't see Hamarikyu or Tsukiji Honganji.

Kobunamachi Yakumo Shrine

[Tachibana] March 17, 2016 14:00

Do you know where "Kobunacho Yakumo Shrine" is located in Nihonbashikobunacho?

The festival called Tenno Festival is held in Kofune-cho, but the shrine is actually located in Kanda Myojin.

In Kofune-cho (Horidome Children's Park), Kariya is built only during the Tenno Festival, and the carrying of miniature shrines is held once every four years in principle.

The above photo shows Kobunamachi Yakumo Shrine in Kanda Myojin.

This is the water tub of Yakumo Shrine.
The votives are "Enshuya Shinbei" and 10 others who handled salted appetizers and dried foods in the Nihonbashi Fish Market area.

At the beginning of Kobunacho Yakumo Shrine, Miyamoto was involved in Kodemmacho, and then fish wholesalers, and is now revered by people in Kobunacho.

 

Kofunecho Yakumo Shrine is the three shrines of "Gozu Tenno Sansha", the first shrine is "Edo Shrine" and the second shrine is "Ninomiya".

It is called "Dai Temmacho Yakumo Shrine".

The Tenno Sansha is dedicated to the god of Daikoku-sama's father, "Takehayassanoonomikoto".

It is a huge statue of Daikoku-sama in Kanda Myojin.

It is "Edo Shrine" of Ichinomiya.

It is "Dai Temmacho Yakumo Shrine" in Ninomiya.

It's the water.

The contributor of the Tensui Oke is a "taimono wholesaler" friend (a merchant who was lined up in the Nihonbashi area, dealing with cloths, etc.), but before that, Otemmacho was Miyamoto, so the name of Otemmacho is also written. It is.

Unfortunately, the festival is not currently being held at Dai Temmacho Yakumo Shrine.
 

This year is said to be the year when the carrying of miniature shrines of "Kobunacho Yakumo Shrine" will be held, so if I could cover the carrying of miniature shrines that will be held in September, I would like to introduce it on my blog again.

High-class restaurant "Hyakukawa" and Rakugo "Hyakukawa"

[Chuo Kotaro] March 15, 2016 16:00

 Near Fukutoku Shrine in Nihonbashi Muromachi, a mystery that disappeared in the early Meiji era, even though it was said to be one of the best in Edo.
There was a restaurant "Momokawa".

 The luxury restaurant is a restaurant style that emerged as the Edo culture matured, with elaborate dishes and servings.
It seems that the restaurant has evolved into a stylish Edo cuisine with the addition of playfulness as restaurants compete for dishes and dishes.
That's right. The luxury restaurant has formed a circle of many cultural people and contributed greatly to the development of Edo culture.
It can be said.
 In the Edo period, many things like the "Gourmet Guide" were published today, and the "Kyoka Kaiseki Fee" was also published.
In Risoroku (Kyokaiseki Ryori Sugoroku) (an introduction of famous stores in the form of Soroku)
It is the name of Momokawa, along with famous luxury restaurants such as Yaozen in Yamaya and Hirasei in Fukagawa.
You can also see it.

 Momokawa was founded in the 1760s and 1770s (around Meiwa and Yasunaga), and its peak was around Bunka Bunsei (1804-30).
He seemed to be proud of it, but suddenly disappeared at the beginning of the Meiji era. There are few materials, and what happened
It is mysterious that it is difficult to understand whether the store was closed at latitude, and it is interesting.
It is depicted in the Ukiyo-e "Picture of Hyakkawa Prosperity", and in Kyozan Santo's essay "Spider's Silk Volume", a passerby.
It is also listed as one of the four major culinary teahouses to play, and in the sense of a meeting of cultural people, Sadanobu Matsudaira
It seems that such a face gathered, and a cultural circle was formed.
 Also, when Perry arrived on a black ship at the end of the Tokugawa period (when the second visit in 1854), he had a party in Yokohama.
It is also famous for having it. The dish at this time was the finest kaiseki cuisine, with 300+200 servings.
It seems that a copy was prepared, and the price is said to be 1,000 or 2,000.

 
 Speaking of another "Hyakukawa", I think that the classical rakugo "Hyakukawa" cannot be removed.
In writing this blog, I heard the rakugo story of Sanyutei Ensei. He will serve in Hyakukawa
Hyakubei and customers (young people on the fish shore) performed "misunderstand" on the stage of Hyakukawa.
It's a fun story that makes me laugh unintentionally.

 

This time, we strolled around Nihonbashi, Ningyocho and Horidomecho with the keyword Hyakukawa.

First of all, when the Hyakukawa was located, the road between Nihonbashi COREDO Muromachi 1 and YUITO Building is Ukiyokoji.
There is Fukutoku Shrine ahead, but it seems to have been in this neighborhood.

ck1509_20160315 (4). jpg

(↑ Click to see a large display.)

 

It is "Ukiyokoji", but there is a residence of the Kitamura family from Kaga who is a town old town, and Kaga.
Then, because "Koji" is read as "Shoji", it is called "Ukiyo Shoji". Also,
The origin of the name is that there is a ukiyo bath here, where the service of the yuto was good, or a store that sells ukiyo goza.
It seems that he was called like this.

 

Fukutoku Shrine is a very old shrine that has been around since the 9th century, and is the religion of warlords such as Yoshiie Minamotono and Michio Ota Atsushi?
It's said that it was. Ieyasu Tokugawa has also visited the temple several times. When Hidetada Nidai visited the torii gate, sprouts were found in the torii gate.
I found it out and named it "Mebuki Shrine", which is also known as "Mebuki Jinja".
Yes. On the north side of Ukiyo Koji, there is the approach to Fukutoku Shrine, and it is now named "Shin Ukiyo Koji".
Sir.

The nail-shaped Nishiborirugawa came right next to Fukutoku Shrine, and there was Shuuga shore nearby.
The river was reclaimed with nails in the middle of the Meiji era, and the rest was reclaimed in the early Showa era.

ck1509_20160315 (5). jpg

 

 

In addition to Ukiyokoji, the rakugo "Hyakukawa" includes Yoshicho and Sanko Shindo in addition to Ukiyokoji.
The place name of Michi) also comes out, so I took a walk about them.

 

Yoshicho used to call a part of today's Ningyocho Yoshicho in the past, and the neighborhood is flowers like "Yoshicho Hanamachi".
It is also famous as a city. In rakugo, Hyakubei is called Chizukaya in Yoshicho.
This is a setting that introduced Hyakukawa from the employment agency.
Yoshicho Hanagai is still continuing as the six flower districts in Tokyo, and a restaurant called Hamadaya preserves its tradition.
In addition, I think that "Geisha Shindo" next to Daikanonji retains the atmosphere of the flower district most.
※There are restaurants represented by Yoshiume, giving a good atmosphere.
ck1509_20160315 (7). jpg

 

Sanko Shindo is a 30-meter path located at Horidomecho 2-chome, and Sanko Inari is a 30-meter path.
It's also the approach to the shrine. There is a long-established store called Todaya Shoten, famous for its pear garden dyeing nearby.
Sir. You can see a sample of pear garden dyeing on the wall on the side of the store.

ck1509_20160315 (1). jpg

 
In rakugo, I hope that Hyakubei will call a person named Kamemoji in Jobanzu who lives here.
I'd like to be asked by a guest from Hyakukawa. 。 。 。 It will come out with the content.
