From the New Year to the New Year! Nihonbashi Kobunamachi

[Dharma] December 31, 2017 09:00

Crossing Showa-dori from the Mitsukoshi Nihonbashi Main Store toward the Horidome Intersection ... Nihonbashi "Kobunacho" envelops history in newness. It is said that during the Edo and Meiji eras, it was a town where textile wholesalers, fan wholesalers, and bonito wholesalers were crowded along the Higashiboriru River, which entered the Nihonbashi River. As an aside, there is a dedicated Japanese lantern Dai Japanese lantern from Kobuna Town in Asakusa Hozomon....Now it is Kofune-cho, where new buildings of long-established companies and leading companies are lined up. Restaurants and hotels are also available, making it beautiful. The main street has been unnamed for a long time, but it is said that naming is being considered. On the left and right of this street, the [Ogura Building] and [Nagase Sangyo Building], which have been rebuilt into a solid building, stand out.

Decorating the new year! It is a long-established appearance in Kofune-cho.

 

[Ibasen] It is a fan, fan shop with a history of more than 400 years. The interior of the store is full of ukiyo-e products. I bought a cute decorative fan with a dog pattern.

[Takashima Family] It is a "eel specialty store" founded in 1875. I was impressed by the taste of protecting for more than 140 years and the hospitality of the young landlord.

[Higetsudo] Founded in 1877, it preserves long-established flavors such as "Kamisei confectionery", "Kuridorayaki", "Kiriyamasho", "kagami mochi" and "Red and White Manju".

 [Kobunacho Yakumo Shrine Tenno Festival] 

In September 2018, the festival will be held once every four years.

Kobunamachi Yakumo Shrine is one of the auxiliary shrine located on the grounds of Kanda Myojin.

It was in the early Edo period that Kofune-cho began to implement festivals.

During the festival, Kariya will be built in Horidome Children's Park and portable shrine will be built in imperial procession.

Photograph of carrying of miniature shrines, which seems to be before the war (the fine figure of his late father?) That's right.⇒⇒⇒⇒

  

The Tenno Festival is a rough portable shrine festival by the common people, and it is said that only Kofune-cho now inherits the festival.
