One of today!

[I want to see] July 27, 2015 14:00

It's a line that I heard somewhere, but it's like I've heard somewhere.

 

Time is "Meiji", a piece by Kiyochika Kobayashi, "Shipping Bridge Daiichi Bank (Yukinaka)".

 

Just imagine it.

 

On a snowy day, a woman walking toward the bridge.

An umbrella is placed on the red belt, and the umbrella is the letters of Ginza / Kishida.

On the right hand of the woman is a willow tree.

And on the left side of the bridge is the first "Daiichi National Bank", a splendid architecture of Japanese and Western eclectic.

 

By the way, the above-mentioned Daiichi National Bank is

It is said to be the highest peak in wooden frame stone and pseudo-Western style architecture designed and constructed by Shimizu Gumi Nidai Kisuke Shimizu.

Also, isn't the letter of Kishida Ginka Kishida's Rakuzendo (Medicine Seisui)?

  

However, today's leading role is actually the bridge of this Nishiki-e.

 

That said, as of the Heisei era, there is no longer this "sea shipping bridge" anymore.

Unfortunately, the Momijigawa River, which flows below, was reclaimed in 1962.

There are only two main pillars left.

 

When you enter Kabuto-cho from Showa-dori, you will find a parking lot underground and a highway on the ground.

It was engraved with "Kayunhashi" in a space that is too small to call it a square at the end of such a road.

The main pillars of Ishibashi exist quietly over time.

 

If you look to the right, you will find another one buried in the trees.

You can barely read "Create", "Five Years", and "Sea". (= June 2,535 BC)

 

Beyond the narrow road, the place at the time was changed, but the bank ...

 

On the wall of the lottery counter, there is a map of the Kaedegawa period.

From left to left, you can read the history of the building of the bank.

 

As we move forward,

At the end of the day is "Nisshokan" (Eiichi Shibusawa House in the Meiji era), and on the left is "Kabuto Shrine".

If you walk to the right, you can cross the "Armor Bridge" (it was a "armor handing" until 1872).

 

You can find a signboard on your left hand after crossing the armor bridge.

"Maison Kono no Nest", the first cafe in Tokyo)

 

 

One of today! And the story flowed.

I miss the old days (?) Why don't you enjoy a walk?
