Tsukiyo Edo event

[Asunaro] July 26, 2016 09:00

In the Edo period, on the night of January and July 26 in old calendar.
The event that waits for the moon to come out is "26 nights waiting"
He said.

As a famous place to wait for the moon in Edo
The busiest was along the coast from Takanawa to Shinagawa.
There are stalls near the coast, and there are houseboats for viewing moons.
It seems to have been crowded with many people.

From now on, the season of fireworks festival.
There seems to be more opportunities to look up at the night sky.
I want to cool off well.

Small summer baseball and Shiki

[Asunaro] July 22, 2016 09:00

When the hawk's young bird learns to fly


 

 In summer high school baseball tournaments and urban competition baseball tournaments
There's an exciting battle.

Let's touch on one of the baseball lovers, Shiki Masaoka.

 Shiki is called "baseball" after his childhood name, "Noboru".
I use Masago to make a lot of tanka poetry and haiku that wrote baseball.
You can also enter the baseball hall of fame because of the spread of baseball.

In connection with Shiki and Chuo-ku, there was Tokiwa-kai (school funding support organization).

 The former Iyokuni (now Ehime Prefecture) Matsuyama feudal lord Hisamatsu family has a residence in this area.
Tokiwa-kai was set up in the mansion.

 Shiki came to Tokyo from his hometown Matsuyama, and was alleged to the student room of Hisamatsu's residence.
One of the joys of half-life is being chosen as a payee.
It's the era of clouds on the hill.
