This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.


Today, March 10th.

It was a normal Saturday, so I took my daughter Azuki for a walk toward the Sumida River Terrace.

On the way.

Many people in front of Hamacho Kuminkan (the children's house is also included, so we are taking care of each other).

And unlike usual, flowers are also offered, and everyone is holding hands together.

Oh, that's right.

Today is the day when the Great Tokyo Air Raid took place.

Today, 1945 (Showa 20), the U.S. Air Force B29 bomber was launched at 0:08 midnight.

Flying over Tokyo, a large air raid occurred, causing the largest damage.

At present, Tokyo Metropolitan Government has designated this day as "Tokyo Peace Day" and seems to be conducting various events.

And why many people gather in Hamacho Kuminkan?

For the reason, please give me this relief.

At that time, there was Hamacho Elementary School here.

And on the night of the Tokyo Air Raid, two teachers and janitors were martyred here.

The elementary school also returned to the ashes.

In addition, many schools were rebuilt to be resistant to fires following the Great Kanto Earthquake.

It seems that many people were evacuated to elementary school.

The power of the U.S. air raids is far more than expected.

It seems that many people who have been evacuated have been sacrificed.

The relief was made by alumni at Hamacho Elementary School in 1990.

"Speak to your children from heaven and protect them.

The gentle people carved in our minds

I pray for the peace of mind and the happiness of your life."

There was something in my heart.

The memory of Great East Japan Earthquake on the next day, March 11, is new.

And it's easier to remember what you have experienced.

(In fact, that day I became a refugee home and eventually spent the night at work.)

It seems that there is a situation where it is difficult to remember the Tokyo air raid.

Nothing.

I think we must never forget the day when we think about the preciousness of peace.

The second half of the relief text

"I swear again that this is the kind of disaster."

I would like to understand this word.

　※The relief is on the outer wall of the left side of the entrance.

 

 

In May 1869, Shigenobu Okuma worshiped the mansion of the Hagimoto Togawa family in Tsukiji and Honganji (the front entrance was near the out-of-market market) facing the street (Shin-ohashi-dori St.). I bought it.　There is also a document with that.

In Okuma's mansion, many people who took the lead of the Meiji government gathered (Ito Hirobumi, Kaoru Inoue, Tomoatsu Godai, etc.). It was as if it were a night.

It is one of Japan's leading restaurants and is a selection venue for the Akutagawa Prize and Naoki Prize.

Here on the way back from shopping at Tsukiji Market. ⁉。　Surprise

　

 

 

Last year, I reported in a series about Nagasakiya (Arandakan) in Nihonbashi Honishi-cho, but this episode describes the process from when I moved to Matsumachi, a gunshot ship as an outer part of this episode to the fall of my house.

　

On July 1, 1858 (1858), the Treaty on theDutch trading post of Dejima, Nagasaki, was also abolished. In October, Nagasaki magistrate's office rowed the Dutch books purchased in Nagasaki to Edo, and stamped all the Dutch books with Nagasakiya in Honishi-cho, Edo as the Bansho Handling Office. A copy of this seal was transmitted to the book wholesaler "Sabei" and one other person at Tori 2-chome through the town elder "Tateichi Uemon" (Nihonbashi Honmachi).

Nagasakiya Genemon, the eleventh generation head of Nagasakiya (Ebara), thoughtfully submitted an application to Nagasaki magistrate's office. "I've been serving as a Dutch inn and other Nagasaki Omote merchant, but it's often burned down by fires and it's difficult, so I'd like to rent a place at Honishicho 3-chome, my residence so far, and earn income. I'd like to get a convenient place with a riverbank somewhere in Fukagawa or Honjo, so I'd like to get permission. "

The Nagasaki Office accepted this application and decided to try to contact each other. There may be various problems because it is a samurai area, but we decided to consider Funamatsumachi, a convenient place to dock on the banks of Tsukiji as a candidate. By constructing a building for the government office that performs the conventional ginseng (sales of medicinal ginseng) and new use "Channel handling", it was possible to ask whether it was possible.

　

Although Nagasakiya is a townspeople, permission was obtained with sticky notes because it would be permitted if it could be treated as "the same way as a purveyor townspeople."

　

If you show the location on the current map, it will be behind St. Luke Hospital as follows.

　

In the first year of the Meiji era, a Western-style book that seems to have been used by the Tokyo Unsho (water-cooked Jisaku) was discovered.
In July 1868 (1868), a foreign secretariat located in the gunshot will receive the goods left at the Nagasaki Kaisho. Among them, more than 17,000 Western books were included. This Nagasaki Kaisho is the "Edo Nagasaki Kaisho", and in 1860 (1860), at Funamatsucho 2-chome in Edo (currently along the Sumida River, 6-7 Akashicho, Chuo-ku), "Bansho" (= Western-style) In addition to selling West guns, it refers to Genemon Nagasakiya (Ebara) who served as a purveyor at the Nagasaki Kaisho.

　　

Genemon's house was off at Matsumachi 2-chome, the gunshot ship, and was a riverside along the north side of Mamoru Wakasa Yashiki. Nagasakiya also sold imported rifles, and the business flourished and the economy was good and started a new business. We worked together with Nihei, a chojiya in Shin-Takigi-cho, and played a role in raw silk trade. I moved from Funamatsumachi to a landfill that continued in Minami-Iida-cho, but as a result of the conclusion of the Ansei Treaty, I had to open Tokyo and decided to build a settlement in Tsukiji. As a result, the land of Genemon had to be removed. After that, he moved to the back tenement house of Honjo Koume, and died on August 5, 1875, leaving five children. Nagasakiya contributed greatly to opening the door to overseas during the Edo period, which continued isolation, but at the end it was an unexpected result. There is no one who claims to be Ebara's last name now.

We had nearly an hour before the next schedule. Here, Hyatt St Rick Ginza, thought of tea somewhere, came to my eyes. I was worried because it just opened on January 22, but I didn't have a chance to take a look. Bar & Lounge NAMIKI667 is located on the 3rd floor. By the way, the 4th floor is the front desk. I was alone, but I was guided to a spacious table on the window side. My eyes are Namiki-dori St. The name of this lounge, NAMIKI667, as you can see, is that the hotel is located at 6-6-7 on Namiki-dori St. Of course there is alcohol, but soft drinks are also abundant. I'm going to have coffee first. When I read it, the outside was dim, and the table lights were placed without notice at all. This casualty, the timing of the replacement of coffee, is it a hotel service? I'm worried about it. It was 800 yen for coffee and 994 yen for service and consumption tax.

　In the former Tsukuda Island area, Inari Shrine is enshrined in three places and four companies.

In part (Kamimachi), "Irifune Inari Shrine" is one of the Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine precincts, which is said to have been transferred from 1-chome Odenmacho in 1869. In the second part (Shitamachi), "Mori Inari Shrine" is said to have originated from the Yashikigami, which was enshrined by the Magoemon Mori clan. In the third part (Azumacho), "Nami-Inari Shrine, O (O) Saki Inari Shrine", where the remnants of the former Ryoshimachi remain dark in the inscription of Tamagaki.

This year, at 10:00 on March 4, the Sunday near the first noon of March, Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine Miyaji Hiraoka visited each Inari shrine, and the first day festival cleansing ritual ceremony was held.

The shrine hall is decorated with a picture lantern that has been the tradition of the Edo period, such as plays and other words and phrases. "The power of the tongue (the power of the tongue)" "The peach sold at the original price (Momotaro born from peach)" ...

The dedication flags dyed with each Inari shrine name flutter in the wind, and the sound of the drums placed in front of Inari Shrine echo throughout the town.

 

 

Sumida River Terrace (prologue) to enjoy walking

During this time, the Tsukishima River Suimon detours and walks on general roads, but there is no traffic light and you can walk while enjoying the scenery of the Sumida River.

　

First of all, last year, the Tokyo Tower was specially lit up for two days, October 27 (Fri) and Saturday, October 28 1000 days before the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. The display of 1000 was only one east side (Shibakoen area), and it could be seen between Kachidokibashi and Tsukiji Ohashi, but it was unfortunate rain on October 28.

Another story of last year. Vegetables are high from last year to this year, but the cause is the cold and the typhoon of last year. On the morning after the typhoon on October 22, the Sumida River terrace near Kachidokibashi. It's flooded as shown in the picture. I saw it for the first time that the water surface has risen so far. The sluice gate was also closed.
