The other day, I visited a foreign tourist and went to the Sansha Festival.
By the way, there is a large lantern in Senso-ji Temple with Kofune-cho.
I found a panel explaining the origin of the large Japanese lantern in Kobunacho, which is hung on the gate of Senso-ji Temple.
It was written as follows. (As per the original text)
Passing through one of Tokyo's tourist attractions, Senso-ji Temple, Kaminarimon, and passing through Nakamise, you'll find a quaint and magnificent large Japanese lantern with the word "Kobunacho".
Until the Great Kanto Earthquake, Nihonbashi was a fish riverbank in Edo, and the neighborhood was thriving as "Edo Minato".
Merchants handling products set up stores in Kofune-cho, a landing site, and a continuation of the land, where products from various countries gathered, and made money. These merchants began about 340 years ago when they showed the prosperity of Kobuna-cho and the spirit of the believers, and dedicated O Japanese lantern to Senso-ji Temple, who wrote the name of Kobuna-cho.
What is currently being made is a new dedication on October 5, 2003, the 400th anniversary of the opening of Edo, for the first time in about 15 years.
