This project is to walk along the ruins of Shinkawa, which was excavated by Zuiken Kawamura in 1659.
I walked from the confluence of the Kamejima River and Shinkawa (near Shinkawa 1-chome No. 3) to the stone monument at Shinkawa Park at the confluence of the Sumida River and Shinkawa.
The Shinkawa flowed through the current Shinkawa 1-chome. In Shinkawa, three bridges were built from the west: Ichinobashi, Ninobashi, and Sannobashi. From the Edo period, liquor stores and sake brewery were lined up on both banks, and until the Meiji and Taisho eras, many liquor wholesalers, local liquor wholesalers and wholesalers were gathered. However, after the Great Kanto Earthquake and the Great Tokyo Air Raid, Shinkawa, the center of Tokyo's liquor wholesale business, was completely destroyed.
In Shinkawa, landfill work began in 1948 (1948), and construction was completed in the following year 24.
The start is from Reigishi Bridge. If you look at the opposite bank from the bicycle storage area at the base of Reigishi Bridge, you can see a dark green place. This is the confluence of Shinkawa and Kamejima River. I watched the seawall, but I couldn't find any traces like that.
The photo above is near Ichinobashi. And when you return to Eitai-dori St. a little, you will find an explanation board of the site of Zuiken Kawamura mansion.
And on the left bank of Shinkawa, there is Masaru Shinkawa Jingu Shrine.
I studied a little bit about Masaru Shinkawa Jingu Shrine.
"It is Chisan Dojin in Yokkaichimachi, Masaru Shinkawa Jingu Shrine. During the Kanei era, both grand shrine and Shinmei-gu Shrine, when Ise inner shrine's priest Keikoin Hiokani came to Edo, he worshiped the mansion here and made it a travel pavilion, recommended both inside and outside Ise, and made it a place of worship. It is one of the most popular places in Edo during the Bunsei and Tenpo. "
From "History of Chuo-ku"
Let's take a look at the votive board. Even now, you can still see the names of companies related to alcoholic beverages.
After being held on October 17, Reitaisai festival in 2018, sake barrels were displayed in the northwestern part of the precincts.
Even today, there was a building of the Sake Foods Health Insurance Association next to Masaru Shinkawa Jingu Shrine. Although the name of the liquor company is slightly near the site of Shinkawa, it can still be confirmed.
And this is Shinkawa Park. In Shinkawa Park, there is a stone monument of "Remains of Shinkawa" and an explanation board of the traces of Shinkawa.
And I was able to see the sluice gate covered with ivy.
At the confluence with the Sumida River, on the left bank, there is Watakai Inari Shrine, which has been worried about for a long time.
I don't know what is going on in the display of this Tokai Inari Shrine.
Is there a torii gate or shrine in this shutter? First of all, I wrote that the name of "Tokai" Inari Shrine crossed the sea, and the place was the Shinkawa entrance, so I was very interested in it and examined a little.
"Tokai Inari Shrine enshrined deity Uga Soulmei was founded in 1704 in Kamiji in the early Meiji era, became a common land in the city area, changed to 22 tsubo free lease. After the war, he was requisited by the Allied Forces and started reconstruction after the cancellation. 2,000 reverences."
From "History of Chuo-ku"
Since 1704 was founded in 1704 AD, it was founded after Shinkawa was excavated. Also, when checking the fireho map of the Showa 20s, the area around it is described as "U.S.N.COMMANDER NAVAL FORCES FAR EASTMOTOR POOL", and it seems that it was used as a centralized dispatch site for troops. . At present, I'm worried about what is going on inside this Tokai Inari Shrine.
And finally, I went out to the Sumida River Terrace. What a bird like "Sagi" greeted me there. I was surprised at this.
When I walked along this Shinkawa site this time, I could not find any direct traces of Shinkawa, which had been reclaimed for the reconstruction of the war, but the fact that liquor companies gathered in Shinkawa and prospered for a while as a defeated country It was a city walk to reaffirm many things, such as what was being occupied.
