Walk along the bridge of Keigo Higashino "When the curtain of prayer goes down"①

[Tachibana] September 24, 2014 09:00

As you all know, there are many novels by Keigo Higashino set in Chuo-ku.

In particular, "newcomers", where Kaga detective plays an active part at Nihonbashi Station, were set in Ningyocho, and a condominium in Kodemmacho was the murder site. Also, in "Kirin's Wings", people were killed under the statue of Kirin in Nihonbashi. In the "Prayer curtain Down" released last year, in addition to Meijiza being stuck, 12 bridges spanning the Kanda River and Nihonbashi River will appear.

So I decided to walk along those 12 bridges in order and write several topics related to the bridges and the surrounding towns. This is the first step, and we will introduce a bridge that crosses the Kanda River that borders Chuo-ku.

 

The first is Yanagibashi at the entrance to the Kanda River from the Sumida River. In the novel, it was written down Yanagibashi in January on the calendar.

 There is a relief of a hairpin on the balustrade in memory of the gorgeousness of the traditional flower willow world.

At present, there is only one restaurant called Kameseiro.

It's left.

(This book belongs to Ikuo Hirayama.)

Here is the Committee of the Committee on the Sumo Yokozuna

Will be opened.

There are several lodgings between Asakusabashi and Asakusabashi.
A lot of houseboats are moored.

This "Komatsuya" is also a boarding house, but it is famous

It's also called Tsukudaniya.

"Suzume-yaki" that I often ate when I was a child

Isn't it coincidence?

One of the treasure chests of the treasure hunt in Chuo-ku last year (2013)

It was hidden in the side of Yanagibashi.

It is located between Asakusabashi (Chuo-ku side).

There is "Hatsune Mori Shrine" on the second floor of the building.

In addition, there is no photo, but it was Yanagibashi when the Kuju room (former Yokozuna Chiyonofuji is the current master) became independent from the Dewanoumi room in 1967 (former Yokozuna Chiyonoyama master) (It was Taito Ward side). It's an old story, but I remember going to see it when Fuji of former Yokozuna Kita (the master of Chiyonofuji) won.

 

This time, it was full of Yanagibashi alone, so after Asakusabashi, I will introduce it next time.
