Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
This time, "[3rd excursion series] Follow the roots of Ginza....Continuing on from
I would like to focus on the relationship between Shizuoka and Chuo-ku (especially Ginza)!

On a rainy day in September, this willow happened to be seen at Sunpu Castle Park.
If you look closely at the information board...There is Yanagi Nisei in Ginza!



I was worried, so when I read the details, this was written in addition to the story of Ginza that I introduced last time.

"In 1884, the street trees in Ginza were unified to willows, but despite the damage of the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and the Great Tokyo Air Raid in 1945, the citizens' enthusiasm for preserving them grew, and the splendid trees revived. However, from around 1967, during the period of high growth, willows in Ginza disappeared. Local volunteers who were hurt by this have poured their heart and soul into the preservation movement, cultivated seedlings with cuttings, and donated not only to Ginza but also to the whole country. Motoichi also planted Ginza's Yanagi II in one corner of Sunpu Castle toes due to the relationship of Ginza, and passed on to future generations. "



In other words, Yanagi Nisei in Ginza is planted in various places throughout the country.
In Ginza, which is important, two Ginza Yanagi Nisei are planted near Ginza Nine.



And next to one willow is the "Ginza willow Monument".
The lyrics and music of "Ginza Yanagi no Uta" (lyrics: 80 Saijo, composed: Shinpei Nakayama) are engraved.



♪The willows in Ginza that are nice to plant.
　　The remnants of Edo
　　Let's blow a spring breeze parasol
　　Today's busy street
　
　　Willow from Marronnier Ginza in Mari
　　West and East Love Inn
　　Who will wait for that child's shoulder
　　Itoyagi
　
　　The willow that doesn't give love is green
　　Spring pattern of the capital to be dyed
　　Ginza Ureshi and willows invite you
　　The streets of the Showa era
　
This song may also be given at the Chuo-ku Tourism Test, which has been lifted the other day!
It's a great deal, so please take this opportunity to remember the number one.
When Ginza's Yanagi Nisei finds a unique edge, I will introduce it again on my blog.
