Ichiishibashi was originally called Yatsumebashi because you can see a total of eight bridges, Tokiwa Bridge, Zenbe Bridge, Dosan Bridge, Gofuku Bridge, Nihonbashi, Edobashi, Kaji Bridge and Ichiishi Bridge. .
This is a ukiyo-e painting of Hiroshige, where you can see Zenbe Bridge and Mount Fuji.
It is one stone bridge seen from the Nihonbashi River.
The last replacement of the wooden bridge was carried out in 1873, and according to records at that time, it is said that the bridge length is 14 (25.2m) and the width = 3 (5.4m). As you can imagine, the bridge in the Edo period is also expected to be about this size.
The wish of a child
From the Edo period to the Meiji period, the neighborhood was a considerable downtown area, and many lost children came out. At that time, there was a rule that the locals would responsibly protect lost children, and in February 1857, the local people of Nishikawagishicho built a "Mitsuyohiko's Shirube" in Minamizume. Was built.
On the right side of the signpost, there was a hollow at the top, engraved with "the person who is willing" and on the left side, "the person who wants to do it". The usage is to put a piece of paper with the characteristics of the lost child or inquirer on the left depression, and if you have any idea among the passers-by who saw it, put a piece of paper with that effect on the hollow to inform the lost child and the inquirer. It is. In addition, it seems that many of them were installed in places with many traffic, such as the precincts of Senso-ji Temple, the precincts of Yushima Tenjin, and Ryogokubashi Hashizume.
It was designated as a historic site designated by Tokyo in September 1942, and was changed on May 6, 1983, and was designated as a Tokyo designated Tangible Cultural Property.
I would like to introduce a rakugo called "Jutoku", which is a topic of Ichiishibashi, so please relax.
***********************************************************
There was a man who was usually acquainted with me, and on his hairdress, a friend asked me, "What do you say the strange kimono you are wearing these days?" I went to the retreat.
The retirement shows the kimono that he is coming to and says, "This is called Jutoku. It's like a clothing if you stand up, like a haori if you sit down, it's like a haori, and so much (5 + 5). " (The following two photos show a jutoku. It is shown for reference.)
(There are words called shakuyaku if you stand up and peony if you sit down, but in rakugo, you don't have much enthusiasm, saying, "If you stand up, it's like a clothing, if you sit down, you'll have a haori.")
"The bridge called Ichiishibashi was built by Goto, a kimono shop in Gofukumachi, and Goto, who used Koza in Kanafukicho, to replace the bridge that collapsed in the earthquake. Goto (Goto) and Goto (Goto) is a stone. " It was good so far, but when he returned to his hair bed and started talking with a familiar face, he forgot it neatly and became very weak. Some omissions ... "It's different, it looks like a clothing if you stand up, it looks like a haori if you sit down, it's Nitari, yes, this is (2 + 2)"
In the end, Mr. Hachi was a seat that explained "Tokutoku" very much, but (2 + 2 = 4).
********************************************************
In this way, the origin of the name of Ichiishibashi was so famous that the name of the name appeared in rakugo.
Rakugo is not something to read, but something to listen to. I'm sorry. You can listen to "jutoku" such as Danshi on Youtube. I hope you will listen and laugh while watching the blog.
