Seishonagon is also said in "Pillow Soshi". Autumn is dusk, and it's a great deal.

At 5:00 pm on Wednesday, October 19, it is a sunset sky that extends southwest from the roof of the building at Tsukiji 1-chome.

At the bottom left, you can see Dentsu Tech's building.

After all, autumn was dusk, a short time, but it was a very valuable time.

Nagasakiya I'm going out now (Kawayanagi at that time)

Nagasakiya, Nihonbashi Honishicho

The common people of Edo seem to be curious about the nanbanians in Japanese houses.

Some fathers are trying to show their children by putting their shoulders on their shoulders.

 This happens once a year (once every four or five years in the late Edo period), Nagasakiya (near 4-2 Nihonbashi Muromachi) where Mr. Dutch trading post (Capitan) who came to Edo from Dejima in Nagasaki stays.

During their stay, Edo scholars and cultural figures visited this building, absorbing knowledge of Western civilization from doctors and scholars accompanying Capitan.

On the other hand, the accompanying scholars observe and record the Japanese culture, flora and fauna that they have seen and heard along the way, and after returning to their home country, they publish them together in books.

Siebold, a German doctor and naturalist, was one of them, and during his stay in Edo, he met, instructed, and influenced Dutch scholars.

The statue of Siebold is located at Akatsuki Park in Chuo-ku (7-19-1 Tsukiji).

It seems that Siebold's daughter Ine's open maternity hospital was here in Tsukiji.

The background is the St. Luke's Tower.

There is no Nagasakiya anymore, but the plate of the Nagasakiya ruins stands at JR Shin-Nihonbashi Station Exit 4 facing Edo-dori.

In Edo under isolation, Nagasakiya in Nihonbashi was the only window where you could see the world.

For Nagasakiya, I'm familiar with "Edo was still a isolation or Dutch inn Nihonbashi Nagasakiya" (Kazuo Katagiri, Kikkawa Hirobunkan).
