Speaking of Kamono Mabuchi, along with Motoori Norinaga, Atsutane Hirata and Azumamaro Kadano, it is still regarded as one of the four major national studies. The inscription of Kamono Mabuchi hangs on the wall of Nihonbashihisamatsucho on Kiyosubashi Street.
Kamono Mabuchi is now
After the death of Shiharuman, at the age of 41 at Mabuchi, he descended to Edo and was collected by Munetake Tayasu (the second son of Yatsushiro Shogun Yoshimune) for Japanese studies, and his residence was given to Tayasumon.
In 1764, at the age of 68, Mabuchi moved his residence to Nihonbashihamacho, and he himself called this new house "Prefectural residence" (Agata I). "Prefectural residence" means "country residence", and let's do it because both houses and gardens were made in a rural style.
According to the inscription, the location of "Prefectural residence" is about 100 meters northeast of this point, so I guess it is probably near the red bus in the photo (currently Nihonbashihamacho 1-chome).
In Hamacho's "Prefectural residence", we often hold "Tsukimi no Utakai", and the song at that time is written in the inscription. .
As you say, "Slow down Hara, where the dew went down," at that time, this area was a field where you could hear the sound of insects, and I think it was a windy countryside that you could not imagine today.
In the life of 1769 and 73 years of Mabuchi, I personally imagine that it was the land I loved most as a "prefectural residence" despite being in this area for only six years.
