"Water Residents (Tsukishima District)"

With the increase in water users, it has become necessary to consider welfare and welfare. Tokyo Hirone Elementary School opened in 1930 (Showa 5) at Tsukishima 8-chome (1-11 Kachidoki, Chuo-ku) to improve welfare. Next to is the branch school of Tsukishima Elementary School (currently Tsukishima Daini Elementary School = Tsukishima name is attached even though it is currently at Kachidoki 1-chome *). This branch school was built for children in No. 2 (Kachidoki area), next to Nihon Soko, located in the back of a dead-end street with a steel lab diagonally front. At the time of opening, there were no Harumi-dori St. or Kachidokibashi.
The floor plan at the time of opening the school consisted of three classrooms, two bedrooms, an office, a dining room, a dormitory room, a cooking room, and a washroom.
At the time of opening the school, the number of students was 32, the number of teachers was 3, one principal / dormitory mother, and two cookers. The class was one class for one to two years, and one class for more than three years. The following year, from 1931 (Showa 6), it became a low, middle and high school three-class system.
A while after the opening of the school, Tokyo Mizukami Elementary School became Tokyo Municipal Mizukami Elementary School, the number of schoolchildren gradually increased, and the school building was rebuilt. At the same time as the start of World War II in 1941, it became a water national school. In response to militarism changes in the social situation, it became a place for training soldiers, not for educating children, and at the same time, a place for service to support the post-gun. The Minakami National School has also been transformed into a place for training seamen to carry out the war.
On April 1, 1943 (Showa 18), a branch school was established in Fukagawa Hamazonocho, Koto-ku. (On April 1, 1968, Hamazonocho became "Shiohama" from the name of Hamazonocho and Shiozaki-cho with the implementation of the housing labeling system, and it continues to this day.) Schoolchildren were evacuated to Shinji-gun, Ibaraki Prefecture due to the worsening of the war. However, the school was resumed on October 25, 1945.
The boat where the water residents live has a room called sage at the bottom of the boat, and its size is about 2 tatami mats (6.6 m2) to 3 tatami mats (10 m2), and if there is a family, several parents and children are sleeping here . It is said that the Dharma ship changed their workplace, so it was difficult for children to attend school, many preschoolers, and even some children did not have a family register.
Many water residents are from Chiba Prefecture, and they seem to have had no current address and may not be able to attend school because they live on board with their family register in Chiba Boso. It can be said that the installation of Mizukami Elementary School was set up to solve this situation.
Mizukami Elementary School has a boarding system, but the children returned to the ship only on weekends. There was a tragedy for the children over the weekend. "I can't find my old house (ship)" Sometimes I couldn't find a sage in a stop. In such a case, the child was exhausted and returned to school. It seems that you can see the children's shyness.
