◆There is a history here in Chuo-ku (68) Doyu Kurisaki, who treated Yoshio Ueno Uenosuke Kira.

At the end of the year, Chushingura in the Genroku era attracts attention. It is said that the surgeon Doyu Kurisaki who treated Yoshio Kira Ueno, a Takaya who was cut by Takumi Asanouchi in the blade wound incident (Akaho incident) in Edo Castle. The following year, Yoshio Kira was defeated by Nanji Akaho and others. Now these two are buried in the same temple. I wonder if the mansion of Michiari was in Hatchobori.

Completed Kurisaki-style surgery for his uncle Masakatsu (2nd Michiki)'s high brother Torikai Michibushi, and was called by the Shogunate to become a government doctor. The name of Michiari was named after the descendants were named for generations, and the Kurisaki-ryu was called the three families of Nagasaki Surgery along with Narabayashi and Yoshio. It is known for providing emergency treatment in 1701 (1701) in the event of a wound in the hall of Yoshinosuke Kira Ueno. (From the Asahi Japanese History Encyclopedia)

    

It is said that the worship mansion that named Doyu Kurisaki for generations was located in Hatchobori Nagasawacho. The cut-out map of the late Edo period (attached figure) reads "Surgeon Doyu Kurisaki". The current location is Hatchobori 3-chome, near the intersection of Shin-ohashi-dori St. and Kajibashi Street.

The Kira Uenosuke Yoshio Tomb (left photo) and Doyu Kurisaki Tomb (right photo) are located at the familiar Soto sect Yorozu Shoin Kounji Temple (4-14-1 Kamitakada, Nakano-ku). The temple was originally located in Nagatacho, and moved to its current location in 1913 after passing through Ichigaya. There is a tombstone for four generations in the Bodaiji Temple of the Kira family. The death of retainer, who died with Yoshio Kira, is engraved as "December 15, 1702." @ Akira Makibuchi
