At the Chuo Ward Local Tenmonkan (Time Dome Akashi), the 19th special exhibition "The Beginning of Western Medicine in Chuo-ku" is held in commemoration of the 150th anniversary of Tokyo. http://www.city.chuo.lg.jp/event/culture/_user_tobun_time_201710141723.html
There are many "birthplaces" in Chuo Ward, but near this time Dome Akashi, a monument called "Langaku Izumi is here" is built to commemorate the translation of "Dismantling Shinsho". . 
On the right side of the monument (red granite), a white figure of the human body is carved, but unfortunately, the carving was not visible at all due to unfortunate rain, so it was introduced in such a photo . On the weather day, please take a closer look with the inscription on the left side (black granite). Furthermore, on the left side of this monument is the monument of the birthplace of Keio University, and there is a sign saying "The Land of Modern Japanese Culture". If you are coming from Tsukiji Station on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line, go straight along the building at an intersection with this monument like a delta in front of St. Luke's International University to the Central Public Health Center and arrive at the entrance of Time Dome Akashi. http://www.city.chuo.lg.jp/bunka/timedomeakashi/index.html
The entrance of Time Dome Akashi is plain (I'm sorry!) So, really here? While thinking, follow the notice to the 6th floor by elevator. Parents and children who visit the planetarium (admission fee 300 yen) are also the same. When you get off the elevator, you feel like you've slipped back in time. The ticket vending machine at the reception symbolizes modern times. The permanent exhibition is an exceptional entrance fee of 100 yen, but special exhibition is free to enter, thank you!
Anyway, it was an interesting exhibition. It's best to go to see more details, so I'll tell you what left an impression on me. The Nagasakiya in Nihonbashi (a trace at the intersection of the current Chuo-dori and Edo-dori St. in front of Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi) is the entrance to Western civilization (an entrance to Japanese and an exchange for Japanese culture for Dutch people), and I understand how the merchants in the Nihonbashi area played an important role. Among the exhibits, the ones that shouted unintentionally, "Wow!" In particular, were containers and newspaper advertisements for the eye drops. The container of a small glass bottle feels very grateful. Newspaper advertisements are comical and seem to be accepted by everyone. How did you sell it? I was happy to see it because I thought it was. It was a time when I realized the people of the exhibition, from celebrities to common people, such as Ryotaku Maeno, Genpaku Sugita, Taizen Sato, and Yukichi Fukuzawa, who knew only from textbooks. Finally, I purchased a catalog (pictured on the left, 200 yen) and ruminate the contents of the exhibition.
The exhibition will be held until December 16th. There are a number of places related to the exhibition near Time Dome Akashi. Why don't you take a walk while thinking of Ryotaku Maeno, who was stuck in translation, hanging down to the Sumida River or going to Nagasakiya in Nihonbashi for information gathering?
