Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
There are seasonal events such as Setsubun and Valentine's Day in February.
If you want to mention another thing, isn't it an "entrance examination"?
As with universities, entrance examinations are also held at private junior high schools.
At the snow festival the other day, I heard a delicate story saying, "How was the test?"
I was unrelated to junior high school exams, but I was wondering, "What is the history (society) problem of junior high school exams?"
When I looked at the issues listed in the reference book (* posted at the end of the article), I looked at the paraparagus.
There is a lot of maniac content that probably won't go to the center exam....
This time, I would like to introduce those related to Chuo-ku from such problems!

Japanese food is attracting attention from around the world as a healthy meal, but sushi is especially popular as a representative of Japanese food along with shabu-shabu. As the name implies, Edomae sushi, which puts fresh seafood on the vinegared rice, was established in the Edo period. The book "Morisada Manga" written in the late Edo period has names such as egg rolls, glue rolls (kanpyo), car shrimp, Kohada, tuna sashimi, shrimp soboro, white fish, congridae, etc.
Sushineta can be obtained in Edo Bay (Tokyo Bay), and since there was no refrigerator at that time, it was mainly made with vinegar like (1) and steamed like shrimp and (2) and cooked. Was. It is now popular (3), but at that time it was a cheap popular fish and was not treated at a prestigious store. It is said that "Toro", which has a lot of fat, is called "(4)" that does not eat cats because it rot quickly. In addition, dark soy sauce that matches seafood was made in Choshi, close to Edo (5).
[Question] For (1) to (3) in the text, select the applicable sushi ingredients from the text, answer (4) the name, and (5) the place name.
How about everyone?
Of course, there are problems that can be answered immediately, but some of them are thought and thought.
Perhaps there was a problem that wanted to say, "I've never
heard that." I was there!
The answer you are worried about...
①Kohada 2 congridae 3 tuna 4 cats straddling 5 Noda
I can't believe it now, but
Today's popular tuna and toro were treated as lower fish (lower fish) and poor fish in the Edo period.
(Now tuna with even a high-class image
)
On the other hand, Kohada is considered the most stylish.
He said, "If you don't eat Kohada's fat, you're not a sushi passerman, you're not an Edo kid, rather than a passerman."
If you would like to know more details, please refer to the following URL.
④It seems that "cat tattogi" comes from a fish that doesn't even eat even a cat who likes fish, and has a bad taste enough to pass over.
Even if it's a joke, I'd like to verify it personally

Q1 The figure on the next page depicts a person studying Dutch studies mimicking a Dutchman in Dejima and celebrating the New Year of the solar calendar (so-called "Netherlands New Year"). When is this? Choose the correct one from A to D and answer it with symbols.
※Please see here (link to Waseda University Library website) for details.
A. Around 1650 Around 1700 Around 1800 e. around 1850
Question 2 Choose the correct one from A to D as a combination of X and Y errors about this Dutch New Year, and answer it with symbols.
X. The Dutch New Year is about a month later than the New Year celebrated by the general public at that time.
Y. At the party to celebrate the Dutch New Year, it can be seen from the diagram that there are West tableware on the table and that people sitting in chairs wear kimono.
A. X - positive Y - positive. X - positive Y - error
C. X - Error Y - Correct E. X - Y - Miscellaneous
This is a problem with big hints hidden in the text and diagrams.
Even if you first heard about the Dutch New Year, I think it's probably a problem that can be solved.
Let's present the answer!
Q1: C Question 2: D
Question 1 is that Dutch studies matured around 1800 because it is a chemical culture.
X in question 2 is incorrect because November 11, 1794 was changed to New Year (January 1, 1795).
Y in question 2 is wrong because a person sitting in a chair is wearing clothes.
As you can see, read the "Description" in the figure on the Waseda University Library website.
This Dutch New Year's feast was located in Mizutanicho, Kyobashi Ward at the time.
The event was held at Shibarando, the home and private school of Gentaku Otsuki (a Dutch scholar who is also known as a person who introduced beer to Japan during isolation).
Some of the invitees shown in the figure include Genpaku Sugita and his disciples.
A few years after returning from Russia, there is Kotayu Daikokuya (a man who holds paper and feather pen in front of tokonoma and writes Kiril language).
This figure, which shows such a situation, has become an important cultural property as a valuable document depicting the first Dutch New Year in Edo.
However, when the Dutch New Year began to be celebrated in Edo, a foreign country....
Did the Federal Republic of Nederland itself exist in the Netherlands?...
Please refer to the reference for details of history and culture related to such world history.
