Katsushika Hokusai painting with the defeat of Kira's House
When I notice this year again, I'm terrified. More than 300 years ago, at midnight on December 14 (old calendar), Yoshiko Ako entered Kira's residence (3-chome Ryogoku, Sumida-ku).
A historical site related to Ako Gishi who remains in Chuo-ku is Takumi Asanouchi's residence (12 Akashi-cho).
This is the site of the Edo main residence of Akaho feudal lord and Takumi Asanouchi Chonori.
This Ako Asano Family Gunsu Kamiyashiki figure was found in 2007 at the descendant's house of the Asano Family.
The area is 8,974 tsubo 8 go (about 29,600 square meters), and it seems that the building layout is almost the same as Ako Castle (Ako City, Hyogo Prefecture).
In "Edo Castle Transition Picture Book-Ofunai Historical Book-"
Genroku era Nakanogata (1688-1704)
Kyoho Nakanogata (1716-1736)
After the clan was crushed, you can see that the place where the Kamiyashiki was also split.
However, the back gate of this Kamiyashiki has been relocated as the gate of the burial ground of Ako Gishi at Sengakuji Temple (2-chome Takanawa, Minato-ku).
I went to Sengakuji Temple on November 26, but there were uninterrupted visitors to visit burial ground, Ako Gishi, and incense stick was raised to each grave of Gishi.
＊In addition, about the publication of the image of the Ako Asano Family Gunsu Kamiyashiki, we received the consent of Tatsuno City Tatsuno History and Culture Museum, which is the collector. Thank you very much.
