Ubuke and deep popularity and history are on the signboard.

[Silver] 09:00 on October 1, 2017

The specialty store of knives in Ningyocho is Ubukeya, founded in Tenmei 3 (1783). It is a long-established store that has been around for more than 230 years since the Edo period, and I like it because it serves politely. Even when I bought a small nail clipper, I remember wrapping it carefully in paper. Yeah,

When I always passed in front of the store and when I entered the store, I didn't care about anything about the signboard.

Suddenly I noticed that there were two signs on the front.

A big sign above.

And on the sign below it, something ruby (?) It seems that it is a "signature". An abbreviation of "Inauguration of Inauguration". This is a calligraphy of the Orient, Japan, and is a signature and seal that the author applies to the work upon completion.

Today, I would like to introduce "Ubukeya", the name of the store, "Yosho Signboard". In the explanation

It was written by the famous Meiji calligrapher Meikaku Kusakabe's gate Shitenno at a time. "U" = Unei Ihara, "Bu" = Niwa Kaizuru, "Kake" = Kakusui Iwata, "Ya" = Yukitake Kondo.

Oh, that's right! I didn't know when such a manual was placed, but I didn't realize that the signature was written.

A convenient "edible scissors" for travel were on display.

 It is "Ubukeya", a cutlery that can be shaved even with "Ubukeya".
