　It has been 100 years since Meibashi Nihonbashi, the bridge in April 1911, survived the Great Kanto Earthquake and the war. I was very sorry that the birthday celebration was swept away by the influence of this Great East Japan Earthquake. Today, I walked along the stage of Kyoka Izumi (1873-1939) novel (published in 1914, 1917, plays published in 1917) with the title of "Nihonbashi".

　"Nihonbashi" Kyoka's 40-year-old work. The title is not the name of the bridge, but the place name. Nihonbashi is a place name that has the Hanayanagi world such as the former Hinokimonocho, Makicho, and Motodaikumachi. The spiritual beauty of Nihonbashi geisha living in Hanamachi is depicted in famous sentences, but it is said to be a mature masterpiece of Kyoka, a feminist who loved Nihonbashi and loved geisha, as well as a view of Edokko. The year after the publication, "Nihonbashi" premiered in Hongo-za by the new school, and since then became a new school's kyogen, and in January this year it was performed at the Mitsukoshi Theater in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the bridge "Nihonbashi" bridge. I think many people have seen it.

　Himonomachi

　Hinokimonocho is the center of the current Yaesu 1-chome, Nihonbashi Hanayagikai, where Kiyoha's Taki no Ie is located in Nihonbashi. Around this time, Tokyo Station was burned down in the wake of the earthquake and war, and there are no buildings that remind you of the old atmosphere, but the Kappo cuisine "Yamanto" founded in the Meiji era is still alive in the building district today. The name of this store will appear on the new school stage.

　The novel "Nihonbashi" is bound by Japanese painter Yukitai Komura (1887-1940). It was my first binding work, but it was said to be one of the best masterpieces in the history of binding, and he has since become an era in the fields of illustrations and stage art. Yukidai was born in Kawagoe, but grew up in Tokyo at a young age at 25 Hinokimachi. This was the house where there was a famous incident called Utakichi Shindo. Like Kyoka, he loved Nihonbashi, and the title of the book that collected his sentences after his death was Nihonbashi Hinomonocho.

　Ichiishibashi

　On the evening of March 4th, a medical doctor Shinzo Kuzuki was interrogated by a police officer, and the Inaba family Takashi sent a rescue boat on the balustrade of Ichiishibashi, and an important scene will continue on this bridge thereafter. At that time, it became a wooden bridge with a length of 14 and a width of 3, and a reinforced concrete arch bridge in 1922, and the current bridge was completed in 2000. One of the main pillars of granite during the Taisho Bridge is preserved in Minamizume. (Chuo Kumin Tangible Cultural Property) Next to it is also the "Mayoiko no Shirube" from the Edo period. (Designated Cultural Property, Tokyo)

　West bank extension guardian of children and travelers

　 Nishikawashi Jizodo, which was founded during the Kyoho period, was famous for the benefit of marriage. "Nihonbashi" also depicts the visits of the main characters. At the time of the premiere of Hongo-za in 1915, Shotaro Hanayagi, who was selected as the role of a koiko Osensei, prayed for the success of Nobumei guardian of children and travelers on a snowy night after his practice. And this will be the success of the later living national treasures and cultural merits. When he replayed at Meijiza in 1938, he dedicated himself to guardian of children and travelers the forehead (with the phrases of Kyoka and Taro Shodai). This figure is currently designated as the central ward Tangible Cultural Property. In front of the main hall I visited today, there was a round Ema depicting the appearance of the Sensei, which seemed to be filled with the passion of young people seeking good relations. If you are in the right age, why don't you visit us once?

　Finally, the name line of the Inaba family Takashi ...

　"The evening of the chicks' festival, spring, vague, fair, ... guardian of children and travelers, on the west bank of the west bank, who visits one place, is married, and Japan is a dark night."

　After more than two years of hard work in marathons and yachts, Kanpei Ma reached a goal around the world and saw a TV that was cheering, reminded me of the Leafde. Approximately 400 years ago, the Dutch ship Leafde sailed in search of a new product sales channel to the Orient, and after about two years of voyage, drifted to Bungo Sashi cloth (Sashio, Usuki City, Oita Prefecture). The navigator British William Adams (Anjin Miura) and the Dutchman Jan Jooss Ten were both heavily used as diplomatic advisors to Ieyasu Tokugawa, Adams was in Anjin-cho, and Jooss Ten was in Yatsushiro, the etymology of Yaesu. I know that you have been given a mansion on the banks of Chuo-ku. Monuments are also built in various places, but the drifting of the Leafde was a major incident that decorated the first page of Yoshifumi Osamu of Japan and the UK. In the following, I will write down what is related to this.

　I often see a brief description that says, "I drifted ashore on the coast of Bungo due to a storm in 1600 (1600), but the voyage since I sailed in Rotterdam in June 1598 is a harsh word. Severe weather, wind and rags, food shortage, berief necrosis, starvation and frozen death, fighting with islanders in the enemy country of Portugal-controlled area ... It was like a picture of turbulence. The fleet of the five Galleon ships will change from the original Cape bound for Orient to Japan via the Magellan Strait (in the break that winters for five months here). In the end, only the Leafde arrived in Japan, and it was a tragic voyage with only 24 survivors (three more died the next day) when the crew drifted ashore and 6 people standing up. This area is found in Adams' letters and biography, and is also depicted in Ichiro Shiraishi's novel "Voyager".

　William Adams is said to be "the first Englishman to come to Japan", and there are some books titled this (written by P. G. Rogers), but there seems to be an objection. In Kaoru Suzuki's "Ieyasu Tokugawa's Spanish Diplomacy", "Kojien" states that 20 years before Adams came to Japan in 1580 (1580), a British came to Hizen Hirato and had trade for about 20 years. I'm introducing the description. (The monument of Adams, built by the British Army in Ito City in 1947, seems to be described as "the first Englishman to settle in Japan.")　According to the book, the Leafde is said to be "stranded" in Japan, but in Dutch history, it is described as "arrival" because it aimed at Japan with a sense of purpose. I see!

　The Leafde (mercy and love) was originally called the Elasmus, with a wooden statue of Elasmus attached to the stern. This wooden statue has been removed after drifting ashore and has been worshiped for many years at Tatsue-in Temple in Sano City, Tochigi Prefecture, and is now kept at the Tokyo National Museum. It's a strange life like or even more than the crew. The commemorative statue of the Leafde in Marunouchi, Chiyoda-ku is well attached to the statue of Elasmus and boshiki. The art is fine!

　It is said that the mansion of Jan Jooss Ten was located between Baba Sanmon and Wadakuramon, on the Yatsushirosu bank on the east bank of Uchibori, so unfortunately it is not in Chuo-ku, but `` Yaesu '' disappeared from Chiyoda-ku Because Chuo-ku used the place name of Yaesu as the name of the town after the war, his monument is at the intersection of Yae Street and Yae Street. And both have portraits. By the way, Adams seems to have no portrait left.)　Inadvertently, more and more people may misunderstand that Jan Jooss Ten's mansion was located in Yaesu, Chuo-ku in the future. The commemorative statue of the Yaesu Underground Shopping Center seems to have been "drifting" all over the place, but it seems that he found a place of rest next to Yaesu South Exit Ramen Shop. In the section of the Yatsushiro Sogawagishi of the Edo Famous Zoukai, Jan Jooss Ten is described as "Yangyaus Hachikuwan" (probably incorrectly), so it is the same as the eight government who became the name of Yakancho It seems that there is a theory to misunderstand. The same Gesshin Saito is also clearly written as a separate person in Takee Chronology. Jan Jooss Ten (Yangko) is the correct one for Jan Jooss Ten van Rhodenstein? It seems like the name.

　Finally, at the end of the year, it is Yagenbori's year-old city that retains the remnants of Edo from the 27th to 29th. Did you know that "Saizo City" stood in Nihonbashi Yokkaichi on the 28th of the same day during the Edo period?

　　"Mikawa Manzai descends to Edo and gathers at Minamizume in Nihonbashi on the night of the end of every year's extreme month (Shiwasu), and embraces Saizo. This is Saizo City Toifu ("Edo Famous Zoukai")

　Oh, it's fun, fun, and the house is full of happiness ...

　In Mikawa Manto, two people, "Tayu" with both swords on folding crow hats and hemp sliding doors, and "Saizo" with a drum, go around the houses from New Year's Day and match the drums hit by Saizo. It was a blessing that was indispensable for the New Year's mood, where they sang and received a celebration rice coin.

　Tayu came from Mikawa, which is related to the Tokugawa family, and hired Saizo in Edo. Saizo City was the market that chose the favorite person from the migrant migrants mainly from the Boso area and hired them to the other side.

　Yokkaichimachi was located on the southern shore of the Nihonbashi River, between Nihonbashi and Edobashi, around 1-7-10, 18-19 of Nihonbashi today. (Edobashi at that time was closer to the east than it is now.)　Hirokoji was formed after the Great Fire of the Meiryaku era (currently near the Nihonbashi Post Office), and Dotegura was set up on the banks, and to the west of Edobashi, the Kisarazu Riverside, where Kisarazu departure and arrival boats depart and depart (currently Mitsubishi Warehouse and Nomura Securities). Did the Saizos coming from Boso arrive here by boat?

　It is this Saizo city, but it seems that it disappeared as the times went down.

　"After Tenpo, it has already been abolished, and Mansai (= Tayu) and Saizo are promised next year and separated. ・・ ・ Because that is an example of this time, Banzai did not have to choose Saizo each time. " (Kido Okamoto, "Mikawa Manzai")

　"Edo Kyobashi Ginza 1-chome. If you go up, you'll be on the left. If you go down, you'll be right. The front is Kyoden Santo, who planted bamboo on a wooden fence and turned hermit. If you put it inside, you will find a store. In Kyoya Denzokata ... (Kyozan Santo "Tobacco Nisho")

　Kyoden Santo, a leading figure in Edo drama, was a resident of Ginza 1-chome from the age of 13 to 56 years old, but in the fall of 1793 (1793), at the age of 33, Kyobashi Ginza 1-chome We rent a house near Kido on the east side bridge and open a 9-shaku Oku Nima store. Ukiyo-e artist Masanobu Kitao has a new design of Kyoden's own design, which is highly regarded as a ukiyo-e artist.In 1795, the same Ginza 1-chome and the father Denzaemon bought a house of a doctor who served as the landlord and relocated, making it a large store with a frontage Mima. Was.

　Kyoden advertises the store in the drama, Utamaro draws the storefront of the Kyoden store in a large format Nishiki-e, and Makoto, which was drawn to Kyoden, is also in the work, `` At this time, there are no people who do not have smoke pipes and tobacco containers at the Kyoden store There are no women who hate Satsuma potatoes and arasu eggplants. " His own tag (flyer) also gained a reputation, and some were tailor-made. (The story is a picture of a child carried by a fox, "Kokin", and an old monk turns upside down and reads "Soro". In the Meiji era, Rohan Kouda wrote a decipherment sentence "Advertisement of Kyoden". )　At the time of opening, the products handled as the prosperity were only paper tobacco containers at the time of opening, but the number of toothpicks, smoke tubes, nose paper bags, medicine such as reading circles and kiomaru, cosmetics such as white peony, etc. According to the number of "Guide to One", cosmetics, booths, and medicine "Kyohashi Kyodenso" is listed in front of cosmetics.

　He has already established himself as a great writer with yellow covers and stylish books, and in the reform of Kansei, he suffered a brushstroke (50 days of the hand chain), but he created a solid and solid family business, based on it. I will play my skills in the field of reading books, comic books and evidence. When it comes to multi-artists, it is often easy to imagine a strange person type, but Kyoden seems to have been a perfect person and a tsujin in terms of personality.

　Utaro Noda, a pioneer of literary walks, described Kyoden as a "Ginza-like person" and wrote this.

"I think Kyoden Santo, who was a smart person of the Edo era, drew dramas and ukiyo-e, and had a Direttant-like culture, and was also a business talent, I think that I am a Ginza-like person."

　Chuo-ku has many cultural and artists, but there are few people born and raised along Ginza Street. Ryusei Kishida, famous for his many Reiko statues, said that according to his recollection "Shinkozaikurenga no Michisuji", on June 23, 1891, Kyobashi-ku Ginza 2-11 (currently around the young people of Melonsa in Ginza 2-7, Kyobashi-ku) and grew up in a railway car there.

　My father was Ginka Kishida, one of the pioneers of the Meiji era. His birthplace is Rakuzendo, famous for his eye drop "Seijisui" (Ginka was taught by Dr. Hebon). There was a store, a main building and a factory, and the adjacent factory also had a warehouse across Kishida's house work and Ginza Street. According to Reiko Kishida's "Father Ryusei Kishida", the store is divided into eight frontages, half, and the right is a pharmacy that sells "Seijisui" and "Yaku soap bubbles", and the left is Chinese brush inkstone paper and other stationery and books. It was a bookstore that sold books. (The advertising signboard of the medicine called "Tetsu Candy" of Rakuzendo is left in the local Tenmonkan.) At that time, it was a high-color house, and there was a Western-style balcony on the second floor facing Ginza Street, and Ginka often did gymnastics here. (In "Shinko Hosoku Ginza-dori", it is fun to have illustrations of the birthplace of Liu paintings and illustrations of the adjacent factory.)

　When I was a child, Liu was a fairly mischievous shaven, and placed a small finger made of blood-filled woodwork on the Ginza pavement to make a fuss, and made a woman's neck to lift the woman's hips. He also has episodes suitable for future large painters, such as going to the permanent exhibition of Western paintings at the Kan Factory in Takekawa-cho (now Ginza 7-chome) and having them go to Kido.

　Liu lives are widely known for portraits, including many Reiko statues, self-portraits, and paintings of Yoyogi's cut-through hills ("Reiko smile" and "cut-through sketches" are important cultural properties of the country). As a picture depicting the inside of Chuo-ku, some oil paintings of the Ginza landscape and Tsukiji settlement landscape are drawn at the beginning.

   (By the way, when rebuilding Kyobashi, Ginka Father and Tengu　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Liu wrote that he often remembers that the tobacco Matsuhei Iwaya had begun to cross. It would be at the time of the railway bridge in 1901.

　In the Meiji 2025s, the Bread Association was a gathering of young literary artists and artists who pursued new art, led by Mokutaro Kinoshita, Kitahara Hakushu, Isamu Yoshii, Kotaro Takamura, Kashiwatei Ishii, and Shirako Kurata. The venue was a shop close to the Sumida River, which resembled Seine, but on November 20, 1910, it was held grandly at Sanshu-ya, a western dish of Daidenmacho 2-chome Gourd Shindo. ・・ ・ I walked on the "Gourd Shindo" today.

　 Looking at the cut-out map of Edo, "Hiyatan Simmichi" was the back street south of Honmachidori. If you go east, you will find Daimaru Shinmichi on the back street of Daimaru Kimono Store. Even on the current map, the road remains in its position. On the west side of Ningyocho-dori, the current residence indication shows that the road less than 50m between Nihonbashi Daidenmacho 6 and Nihonbashi Horidomecho 1-11 was the "Gourd Shindo". [On the photo] Then, where was "Sanshu-ya"? According to Utaro Noda's "Literary Walk", which asked about this area more than 60 years ago, "The place where Sanshu-ya was located is the gourd Shindo It seems that it was around [right photo].

　On the day of the meeting, lanterns made by members were lowered in front of the store. "When it comes to gourd Shindo, I remember, at the entrance facing the dark Yokocho storehouse, Shirahari's Japanese lantern, which drew a large face of the sheep god, was hanging down in the wind. (Isamu Yoshii "Okawabata") At this time, the "Bread no Kai" was attended by Shirakaba, Mita literature, and Shinshicho Dojin in addition to the main Subaru and square. Dozens of artists gathered together in this store, which was not very large, and it was a great success and a great sake feast.

　Junichirou Tanizaki will meet Kafu Nagai for the first time here. "Teacher! I really like teachers! I worship the teacher! I read all the things that my teacher writes!" When I bowed with drunk momentum, I drink alcohol The wind that doesn't drink "Thank you. Thank you. "It's in Tanizaki's "Youth Story" that responded loudly. The following year in November 1911, Kafu presented "Junichiro Tanizaki's work" in "Mita Literature", awarded Tanizaki a great prize, and he suddenly became a darling of the literary world.

　Kimura Shohachi's famous oil painting "Bread no Kai" (1928) is said to have been drawn while imagining the scene of the day's party attended by his brother Shota.
