Social pot of the New Year [a monument commemorating the arrival of the salvation army]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] December 22, 2017 09:00

It's an illusion to talk about landscapes that I often saw during the Showa era, when the Heisei era is about to end, but I feel like "social pots" have recently disappeared.

The "Social Hot Pot" is a street fundraising campaign conducted by the Salvation Army at the end of the year to support the poor in life, etc. It is an iron pot.

It is also the seasonal word of Haiku (winter) as a feature that colors the city at the end of the year every year.

It is a "social pot" that has become rarely seen, but there is a monument in Chuo-ku, the monument of the salvation army, which is the parent of the activity.

It is right next to the intersection on the north side across Tsukijibashi along Heisei Dori.

For more information about the origin of this monument, please refer to the blog post published last June.

It is said that Colonel Wright, who came to Japan, set up the headquarters in this area, and it was set up in 1995 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the arrival.

The fact that my eyes went to this monument may be conscious of the New Year's Day.
