DSCN0784 (2). JPGThe birthplace of Edo Kabuki, the site of the Kyobashi Daikon Riverside Vegetable Market

 

This is 3-4 Kyobashi, Chuo-ku.

The two stone monuments are in the same place.

It was erected in 1957 as the birthplace of Kabuki.

 

It was in 1624 that Nakamuraza was allowed to play a drum tower in the southern part of Nakahashi. Since then, it has continued for 270 years until 1893. At that time, it was a very lively place with huts such as puppet manipulation and Joruri. After that, the industrial goods were removed for reasons close to Edo Castle and moved to Nihonbashi Horidome-cho.

 

The stone monument at the site of the Seimono Market was erected in 1959 in retrospective of the opening of the market for 280 years.

 

The market was located in Kitazume, Kyobashi River, which has good water transportation. The name of the radish is given because the large number of radishes arrived. It has nothing to do with the birthplace of Kabuki. I hope you'll be sure.

 

After that, it was merged with Tsukiji Central Wholesale Market in 1935 and moved to.

Please take a look while shopping in Ginza.

Shinroku Hazama Peace pagoda

 

DSCN0722 (2). JPGChushingura, which is always broadcast every year at dusk.

He joined the enemy of Takumi Asanouchi with his father and brother (it is said to have given the first spear to Kira Uenosuke).

 

In the defeat of Kira's house, he belonged to the back gate squad and cut off at Mori's house with each other.

The remains were buried in his own Tsukiji Honganji, Bodaiji Temple, by his son-in-law Nakado Matasuke.

 

Naturally, there are different tombstones at "Honganji alone" and "Sengakuji sleeping with each other".

 

DSCN0723 (2). JPGIt is a tradition, but after the defeat, there is a story in which one's spear and Kaneko of the memorial service were connected and thrown into the precincts at the time of withdrawal.

It seems that "Shinroku no Red Spear" still remains as a temple treasure. (Not available)

It's right next to Tsukiji Market. Please drop in on your way home from shopping.

 

 

Who is this person?

DSCN0779.JPGStatue of Jan Jooss Ten

 

It was installed at the intersection of Yaesu-dori median strip and Chuo-dori to commemorate the 380th anniversary of Osamu Nichiran.

 

The name of "Yaesu" is named after his mansion.

 

DSCN0780.JPGAs a Dutch navigator, he boarded the Dutch ship "Leafde" and drifted to Bungo in 1600. With the confidence of Ieyasu Tokugawa, he worked as a European situation, interpreter, and diplomatic advisor.

 

Please take a look when shopping in Nihonbashi.

 

 

Did you see the pavilion of the half coat?

[Shubo's Ten Hands] June 18, 2017 14:00

DSCN0792.JPG This is the mark of the Bank of Japan.

 It's printed on the back of the banknote.

 

In one corner of Sakamoto Park, there is "Kabuto-cho / Kayabacho Machikado Exhibition Hall". It is on display along with portable shrine, floats and fire-related materials.

The mark can be read as "day" and "books" in kanji can be read as Japan in a half coat made of deer skin. It is said that it was given by the Bank of Japan during the Taisho era. It's a very innovative design.

DSCN0794.JPGWhy don't you take a look while shopping in Nihonbashi?

 

You can see it. 。 。 。

Do you want to get more money?

 

 

Well of the famous water Shirakiya

DSCN0742.JPG Well of the famous water Shirakiya 

 

Nihonbashi district reclaimed in the early Edo period

 

It was originally the sea. Both the samurai and the townspeople were suffering from the shortage of good water.

 

Hikotaro Kimura, the second generation of Shirakiya, who was a large kimono dealer in Nihonbashi, gave out his private property and in 1712 he dug up a well where Shimizu gushed out. It was also presented to the Shogun's family. It was widely used by Daimyo and nearby residents, and has been used for hundreds of years.

 

Now, there is a stone monument in the left photo on the Cored Nihonbashi Annex Square.

Please take a look at the shop in Nihonbashi.

 

 

This was the "sea" in the Edo period.

DSCN0770.JPGThis is Hatchobori 3-chome. The ruins are being excavated

 

It is a place where you go about 30 meters along the Suzuran Street in front of the main gate of Keika Square in the direction of Kayabacho. If you look at the old map, the late Edo period is Machiya.

 

I saw it on June 14th.

About 5 people were working carefully.

 

DSCN0772.JPGThe color of the excavated soil is dark and looks like sand on the coast.

 

You can see shells and pieces of wood everywhere. You can see wooden gutters made of strong trees.

 

I'm looking forward to seeing what kind of things will come out.

It's a good place for foot comfort. Romance of history? You may feel it...
