Continuing from the last time, this is the second part of Japanese sweets "Minosha".

This time, we asked the owner's mother (wife of his predecessor's husband) about the history and memories of the neighborhood of Ningyocho and Tomizawa-cho.

▲The shop is received a letter of appreciation (1953) from Meiji-jingu Shrine.

・Minosha was founded in 1947, when the post-war reconstruction was not obscured, and his mother was about seven years old. At that time, the Hamacho River was still flowing, but the north side of Ogawa Bridge, which was built next to Minosha, was reclaimed in 1949 as a reconstruction work for the war.
▲From Ogawa Bridge, see the Sakae Bridge area (1949). My left hand is Mr. Minoosha.

The south side has been flowing even after Toei Line 1 (currently Toei Asakusa Line) passes below (1963), and it is said that it was reclaimed around 1972 (see the photo below) .

・I was convinced to hear the origin of the name "Konza-dori" that remains in Hamacho, which I have always questioned. Since it has been connected to the place where Koza was located (currently the Bank of Japan), it seems that the road from Ryogokubashi through Hamacho to Koza was called Koza-dori. It is also interesting that the nickname of "Konza-dori" remains in Hamacho, quite far from the location of Koza (currently, Koza-dori is 1-12 Nihonbashi-Hamacho-2-11 Nihonbashi-Hamacho).
In addition, although it is a small area, "Hamacho 2-chome Kanaza Town Association" remains. (Applicable districts: 2-10-13, Nihonbashihama-cho, 32-41, 60-62)

・The NTT Building, located opposite Minosha, was once home to the five-story "Pro Wrestling Center" (1955: then Nihonbashi Naniwacho) in Rikidoyama. It seems that he went to the Giant Baba here.

・Rikidoyama longed for was the support chairman Shin Nitta (President of Nitta Construction), who contributed to the establishment of the Japan Professional Wrestling Association. President Nitta is also the central figure of the members who revived Meijiza after the end of the war. Currently, his daughter is doing the counter bar "Hamacho Nitta" just behind Meijiza.

・After the war, Ningyocho-dori was said to have flourished as a modern shopping street with arcades on both sides along with Monzennakacho-dori in Fukagawa (arcade was removed in 1985).
～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～
・It seems that the vaudeville "Ningyocho Suehiro" in Ningyocho often went to see it with her husband (second generation master). It seems that Goro Yanagi Yagane and Imasuke 5th generation Kokintei liked it. Ningyocho-dori current Yomiuri Shimbun (next to "Ubukeya"). Closed in 1970.

・In the past, the fireworks of the Sumida River seemed to be clearly visible from the front of Koza Street. It seems that he sometimes took money at the place where the current panda studio Hamacho (former Hamacho studio) is located. Also, at the Hisamatsu Police Station, he showed me on the roof of the building.

・Minosha is located in Nihonbashitomizawacho, but I heard about the origin of the town name of Tomizawa-cho. Tobi Sawacho ⇒ Tomizawa-cho: In the Edo period, there was a person named Tobizawa Jinnai, the former tighter of a used clothes shop who lived in this area, so it came to be called `` Tobi Sawacho '', and later the character was changed to `` Tomisawacho '' That is.
～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～
・Minosha seems to be close to Meijiza, so many entertainers come to buy Japanese sweets every time there is a stage, so I heard the names of Chikei Awashima and Itsumi Osawa. In addition, the president of a nearby Japanese confectionery shop "Ginza Akebono" also said that he would often visit the store.
～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～
In addition, he told me various surprises, such as the secrets of the birth of Hashizo Okawa (second generation). Also, I would like to hear a fun story in the near future.
Well, do you want to buy Kashiwa mochi today and go home?
