Last year, I reported in a series about Nagasakiya (Arandakan) in Nihonbashi Honishi-cho, but this episode describes the process from when I moved to Matsumachi, a gunshot ship as an outer part of this episode to the fall of my house.
On July 1, 1858 (1858), the Treaty on theDutch trading post of Dejima, Nagasaki, was also abolished. In October, Nagasaki magistrate's office rowed the Dutch books purchased in Nagasaki to Edo, and stamped all the Dutch books with Nagasakiya in Honishi-cho, Edo as the Bansho Handling Office. A copy of this seal was transmitted to the book wholesaler "Sabei" and one other person at Tori 2-chome through the town elder "Tateichi Uemon" (Nihonbashi Honmachi).
Nagasakiya Genemon, the eleventh generation head of Nagasakiya (Ebara), thoughtfully submitted an application to Nagasaki magistrate's office. "I've been serving as a Dutch inn and other Nagasaki Omote merchant, but it's often burned down by fires and it's difficult, so I'd like to rent a place at Honishicho 3-chome, my residence so far, and earn income. I'd like to get a convenient place with a riverbank somewhere in Fukagawa or Honjo, so I'd like to get permission. "
The Nagasaki Office accepted this application and decided to try to contact each other. There may be various problems because it is a samurai area, but we decided to consider Funamatsumachi, a convenient place to dock on the banks of Tsukiji as a candidate. By constructing a building for the government office that performs the conventional ginseng (sales of medicinal ginseng) and new use "Channel handling", it was possible to ask whether it was possible.
Although Nagasakiya is a townspeople, permission was obtained with sticky notes because it would be permitted if it could be treated as "the same way as a purveyor townspeople."
If you show the location on the current map, it will be behind St. Luke Hospital as follows.
In the first year of the Meiji era, a Western-style book that seems to have been used by the Tokyo Unsho (water-cooked Jisaku) was discovered.
In July 1868 (1868), a foreign secretariat located in the gunshot will receive the goods left at the Nagasaki Kaisho. Among them, more than 17,000 Western books were included. This Nagasaki Kaisho is the "Edo Nagasaki Kaisho", and in 1860 (1860), at Funamatsucho 2-chome in Edo (currently along the Sumida River, 6-7 Akashicho, Chuo-ku), "Bansho" (= Western-style) In addition to selling West guns, it refers to Genemon Nagasakiya (Ebara) who served as a purveyor at the Nagasaki Kaisho.
Genemon's house was off at Matsumachi 2-chome, the gunshot ship, and was a riverside along the north side of Mamoru Wakasa Yashiki. Nagasakiya also sold imported rifles, and the business flourished and the economy was good and started a new business. We worked together with Nihei, a chojiya in Shin-Takigi-cho, and played a role in raw silk trade. I moved from Funamatsumachi to a landfill that continued in Minami-Iida-cho, but as a result of the conclusion of the Ansei Treaty, I had to open Tokyo and decided to build a settlement in Tsukiji. As a result, the land of Genemon had to be removed. After that, he moved to the back tenement house of Honjo Koume, and died on August 5, 1875, leaving five children. Nagasakiya contributed greatly to opening the door to overseas during the Edo period, which continued isolation, but at the end it was an unexpected result. There is no one who claims to be Ebara's last name now.
