The exhibition period has been low (until May 28), but at the Ota Memorial Museum, a museum specializing in Ukiyo-e.

The exhibition "Hiroshige and Kiyochika" is currently being held.

(The Ota Memorial Museum is located in Shibuya Ward, but it was an exhibition related to Chuo-ku, so I will introduce it.)

　

　Hiroshige and Kiyochika were born in samurai in the Edo and Meiji eras, and Kiyochika was influenced by Hiroshige.

I'll keep it.

　

　In his later years, Hiroshige's paintings, who lived in Kyobashi, can be seen everywhere when walking around the city of Chuo-ku.

"Nihonbashi" of 'Tokaido Gojusanji'--everyone has seen a picture of Feudal lord's procession and fish shops on the riverbank that depart early in the morning

I think there is something.

　When I was a child, it was commonly known as Hiroshige Ando, but the real name and the issue are strange, and now Hiroshige Utagawa (1797).

It is called ~ 1858). Kiyochika Kobayashi (1847-1915), the Kiyochika (Kiyochika), was called 'Hiroshige of the Meiji era'.

Yes. He was born in the head office and his tomb are also in Taito Ward, and there is nothing special to mention with Chuo-ku. However, he returned to Hiroshige

For this reason, we have left many scenery of Chuo-ku.

　

　It was a great success even on weekdays, but I was able to enjoy Japan's proud ukiyo-e.

　

Needless to say, I took a walk along the Sumida River the next day. In particular, wooden structures before turning into steel frames at the end of the Meiji era.

I imagined Shin-ohashi Bridge.

　

You can take a walk while comparing the Chuo-ku depicted in Ukiyo-e with the current Chuo-ku.

If you are interested, please go out.

Old map 

　

Current map

　

I have an old map at hand.　The old one on the Tokyo Metropolitan Area Map.

In his father's stiff character, "This map is valuable and has been kept in a safe place because it contains the old place name."

There is an appendix.

　Looking at the page of Chuo-ku, there is no notation of Chuo-ohashi Bridge, Sumida River Ohashi, and Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge on the bridge over the Sumida River.

There is the Tsukuda River between Tsukishima and Tsukuda Island, and there is no Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge, so "Tsukuda Shimanoto" and Tsukudacho and Minatomachi are dotted lines.

You can see Ginza Nishi, Higashi, Echizen digging, Honishi-cho, etc., which have disappeared now.

　

　The first festival in the city, Teppozu Inari Shrine Reitaisai festival, began on the 2nd. I wanted to take pictures of all the mikoshi participating in the festival.
I was invited by the weather to execute it for 2 days.

When I asked about the location that I couldn't find portable shrine in the dark clouds, the Minato Sanmachime sacred wine office wrote the town map red to Irifune, Shintomi and Akashicho. Thank you very much for your kindness.

　After that, I was able to completely conquer 14 locations from Ginza 8-chome in Ginza to portable shrine, the first town in Ginza in Kyobashi Park.

　

　

In the vicinity of Shimbashi Enbujo, I unexpectedly met the portable shrine line east of Ginza 6.7-chome, and in Ginza 4-chome, I received 'Seven Lucky Gods Aarare'.

　

　

On the way back, I made a famous macaron on the second floor of Ginza Mitsukoshi, Ginza 4-chome as a souvenir. On Saturday, Chuo-ku, where the whirlpools, oldness and newness of each person mixed with customers and generations from overseas are alive. It was a day while tilting my heart to the people who lived in the old place name.
