Katsushika Hokusai "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji Takeyo Tsukudashima"

In the Edo period, it was really such a small island (reclaimed land).

Previously, when I went to the Ishikawajima Museum (1-11-8 Tsukuda, Chuo-ku), the history of Tsukudajima and Ishikawajima was explained in an easy-to-understand manner along with the changes in landfills. If you were looking for it, there was also a regional reference room on the second basement floor of the Kyobashi Library in Chuo Ward at the knee.

The title of the book is "Edo Castle Transition Picture Book-Mifunai Historical Book-", and the editor / supervisor is "Bakufu General Service (!) The editorial supervision of Haruhiko Asakura, the publisher is Hara Shobo. In the eighth volume of the 20 volumes, there is a picture that shows the transition of Tsukuda Island.

[Before 1673] It seems that Ishikawajima was originally called Ishikawajima after Hachizaemon Ishikawa worshiped Yoroijima at the mouth of the Sumida River and set up a mansion.

Tsukuda Kobashi on Tsukuda Island has been around for a long time.

1790 I've got a lot of people. By the way, the proposer of the horoscope is Heizo Hasegawa, "Kihei", the secretary of the Edo fire thieves.

It seems that the horoscope was a rehabilitation facility (≒ rehabilitation facility, vocational training center, sanatorium) for light criminals and others.

1792 Ishikawa-sanchi is located in the area of the people's foothold.

[1862] The whole island is a place for people to visit.

Anyway, this book shows the transition of land (use) under Edo Castle very carefully, and when you start reading it (when you start looking at it?) I'm addicted to forgetting the passage of time

For your information, the Chuo Ward Kyobashi Library is located on the 1st and 2nd basement floors of the Chuo-ku government office, and the weekday usage time is from 9:00 to 20:00, but the local reference room is until 17:00.

　For a long time, I think that the private company name "Mitsukoshi-mae" is amazing in the station name (it is a bit different from Tobu Zoo Park Station on Tobu Railway and Seibu-Kyujomae Station on Seibu Railway). When I made it, I was surprised to hear that Mr. Mitsukoshi gave out the money to make the station (of course, the design was also).

　Certainly, the station itself was old and the marble pillars and the atmosphere seemed to be different from other stations ... so I went to Mitsukoshimae Station for the purpose of going to see the station itself.

　First of all, the underground railway entrance beside Mitsukoshi Main Building is like this.

When you go down the underground passage, the decoration of the marble pillars is elaborate.

  When you go down to the platform, the three lines on the wall are three lines from "3" Koshi.

The design of the station name is completely different from other stations on Tokyo Metro.

　When the station was established, it seems that Japan's first station escalator was installed.

　From the moment you descend to the platform of the station, a mechanism that makes you feel like "Mitsukoshi, I came here" was created 80 years ago (impressed)
