After renovation work, I went to the Edo Tokyo Museum, which was reopened in April 2018.
At the souvenir corner before entering the museum, "That? Can I buy rice cakes here if I go to Higashimukojima? Can you buy that dumpling from Kototoi Bridge here? ! The promotional video in the hall is also an interesting finish that connects the past and the present, reminiscent of "Tokyo2020".
With the expectation of such a forward swing, it is the first thing to enter the hall and greet you ... Rather than welcoming you, you cross Nihonbashi and head to the hall.
Speaking of the official characters of the Edo Tokyo Museum, "Gibo-chan" is the only one that I have been conducting research on loose characters from all over the country. In which world do you have characters with the motif of Nihonbashi's balustrade giboshi? Did the gentle character who wants to ask the person in charge for an hour get permission from Chuo-ku? I can't help but have a secret doubt.
Too much maniac ... Gibo-chan.
The permanent exhibits also have various tastes, such as "Try in the daimyo's palanquin" and "Try up the mat that raises the morale of fire extinguishing in the event of a fire" There is no. Among them, the very elaborate miniature version, "The state of the town at the time of Edo," is not fascinating for me to go to Nagahama, Shiga Prefecture to see Kaiyodo's museum.
Binoculars are also installed at hand, and I feel the pride of the exhibition that the more you expand, the more you can understand the detailed design.
There were a lot of school excursions and Oboshiki students in the hall.
"When is Edo shogunate?" "Is it 1600 years?" "Yeah,"
A conversation like that
"Two years after Ieyasu became a conquer general in 1603, Hidetada took over his job." "Oh, there was a major renovation of Edo Castle as if he was waiting for his replacement, in 1606, starting with the contract of Honmarutaka Ishigaki. "
I'm sure that the conversation will be upgraded (it's a little excited).
There was also a miniature of Mitsui Echigoya (now Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi), which flourished with no current silver price. The reason why women's gaze is gathered by wrestlers who walk gently on the road is probably due to the detailed setting that women were banned at that time.
By the way, the Edo Tokyo Museum is full of highlights. It was introduced as a spot that can be enjoyed all day as a teaching material reflecting on the history of Chuo-ku.
