The heat of Sanada Maru has not yet cooled down in the fall of 2017, but it was reported that the NHK New Year drama next year and 2018 was "Fuun Children" written by Koki Mitani! The era is the story of Ryotaku Maeno and Genpaku Sugita, who want to pursue Dutch studies (European culture), in the middle of the Edo period. Appeared by Ainosuke Kataoka (Ryotaku Maeno), Shinya Shinno (Genpaku Sugita), Koji Yamamoto (Gennai Hiraga), Masao Kusakari (Okitsugu Tanuma).
New Year's drama "Fun Children-Langaku Revolution (Reboryushi)"
If so...
The stage is, of course, in the middle of Edo, Tsukiji, Chuo-ku!
This is exactly the place where the Dutch studies of Sugita and Maeno were founded. A stone monument stands. Later, Yukichi Fukuzawa opened a Dutch school (later Keio University) in this place, so it stands alongside the monument of the birthplace of Keio University.
I think the image is hard to see, but it is a stone monument engraved with "Dismantling Shinsho".
This place was the Nakayashiki of the Okudaira family of the Nakatsu Domain (now Oita Prefecture). You can also check it on the old map. Ryotaku Maeno, a physician of the Nakatsu clan, will work with Genpaku Sugita and others to translate the Dutch medical book "Tarher Anatomia" at this location.
The stone monument is located at 11 Akashi-cho, Chuo-ku. It is a small square near the entrance of St. Luke Hospital. It's the right of the image. In the map below, it is a triangular plot around the bottom of the center.
Here are the children of Dutch studies.
This place is Time Dome Akashi, which is known for its planetarium next to it, and Toysler Memorial Hall opposite to it.
There are also Tsukiji Market, foreign settlements, late Tokugawa shogunate Historic Sites and Bungo Historic Sites, Showa Reconstruction Elementary School, and Tsukiji Honganji Temple. Even if you don't know the sightseeing spots, it's a fun place just to take a walk in Brabra. It is about a 15-20-minute walk to the center of Ginza.
By all means, please come and see the stage of Fengun Children!
By the way, I think Nagasakiya will probably appear in the drama....
Nagasakiya was a medicine wholesaler of the shogunate in Nihonbashi, and also served as a lodging house, so many of the directors of Dutch trading post and foreigners with specialized knowledge stayed there, and many scholars gathered to listen to their stories. Gennai Hiraga, Genpaku Sugita, Ryotaku Maeno, Junnan Nakagawa, Koyo Aoki, etc. were among them. Nagasakiya and the scholars are depicted by Katsushika Hokusai.
The location is 4-4-10 Nihonbashi Muromachi, Chuo-ku East Short Building, with an explanation board. It is very close to Choredo Muromachi and Mitsui Main Building. It is an important historical site that was the only window for Western civilization in Edo when isolation was severe.
Why don't you watch the drama stage from now on and enliven your feelings!
