In December of last year, a "medicine monument" was installed on the sidewalk at 2-1 Nihonbashi Honmachi (near the entrance of Takeda Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.).
When I visited the secretariat of the Tokyo Pharmaceutical Affairs Association, this monument was set up by the "5 Rotary Clubs in the Nihonbashi Area and the Tokyo Pharmaceutical Association", and widely conveys the history of the drug wholesale district that originated in Nihonbashi during the Edo period to future generations. It was donated to Chuo-ku for the purpose of contributing to the administration of cultural properties in Chuo-ku. It was said that the design at the top of the monument was based on an illustration of the "Edo Famous Zoukai" published in the Edo period (Honmachi Pharmaceutical Shop).
Nihonbashi Honmachi is an area where drug wholesalers have gathered and developed since the Edo period, and many pharmaceutical companies are still gathering.
