The flowering of cherry blossoms is delayed this year.

Thanks to that, I can see plums late.

You can see a small temple in a corner of Nihonbashihamacho Park.

This is a separate temple of Kumamoto Honmyoji, which was founded in 1861 by Hosokawa Saigo from Nichiren sect Honmyoji in Kumamoto in 1861 in this area, which was the lower residence of the Hosokawa Domain during the Edo period.

Of course, what is enshrined is the Duke of Kato Kiyomasa.

Kato Kiyomasa was a master and respected by everyone, so Tadatoshi Hosokawa, who was sealed after Tadahiro Nidai was remodeled, seems to have taken great care. It is said that this has gained the trust of the people.

The current Dou was rebuilt in 1959 (1959).

　It's from the street next to Hamacho Park.

 

　Camellia and plums are competing.

 

　I'll go to the front.

　This is the whole view.

　The white plum on the right is also in full bloom.

 

　One more one on the way home.

 

There is Kato Shrine in Kumamoto Castle, but Shiba Shirokane's "Kakurinji" is famous in Tokyo.

This is said to have been founded in the Nakayashiki of the Kumamoto Domain by Ninobujo in 1631 (1631).

Mr. Kiyomasa is widely seen all over Japan.

Around the hints, report them to Yagenbori Fudoin, Kibundo, and Asuka Booksellers.

The range seems to be limited to Higashi Nihonbashi 2-chome.

Along with street lights, the pavement is completely maintained.

It is the approach to Yagenbori Fudoin from Kiyosugi-dori.

 

 

 

 I went to Asakusabashi to look for the explanation board of Asakusa Gomon. (On the Edo map, south of the Kanda River)

There is an explanation board next to the police box of "Gundai Yashiki Ruins", but there is nothing like that.

On the Taito Ward side across the bridge, there is a monument to the site of Asakusa Mitsuke, and there is an explanation board of the old Asakusabashi as a guide to the old town name.

　Edo shogunate built towers, gates and bridges at important points of major traffic routes to guard Edo Castle.

　This place where the Oshu Kaido passes is the road to Asakusa Kannon, so the gate built.

　It was called Asakusa Gomon.

　It was also called Asakusa Mitsuke because of the placement of a guard.

　It was in 1636 (1636) that a bridge was first built on the Kanda River.

　Because it was in front of Asakusa Gomon, it was called Asakusa Gomonbashi, but one day it became Asakusabashi.

(Taito Ward)

 

　Returning to the Chuo-ku side while looking at the Kanda River, the area on the left side of the street corresponds to Higashi Nihonbashi 2-chome and the former Nihonbashi Ryogoku. Looking at the side, there is a post office that only Ryogokubashi remains the place names of both countries.
The name is also "Ryogoku Post Office". The names of both countries remained.

 If you look forward to crossing Yasukuni Dori, you will see a fine building.

When you cross the street, you can see some nostalgic signs.

There is a signboard like this in front of the shop.

When I asked the owner of the shop, Tamaki Pharmacy was founded in 1905. When asked about "Belz water", he said that it was taken from the name of a teacher who came to the University of Tokyo from Germany.

If you look into it, it looks like Prof.Dr.Erwin von Baeltz MD PhD.

　German doctor Berz came to Japan at the invitation of the government in 1876 and taught physiology, pathology, internal science, obstetrics and gynecology for 26 years at Tokyo Medical School, the predecessor of the University of Tokyo School of Medicine, and made a great contribution to Japanese medicine.

　"Belzsui" was originally prescribed in 1883 while staying at the Hakone Fujiya Hotel, seeing the hands of the women being rough.

He was also the one who introduced Kusatsu Onsen to the world.

　I was invited by the so-called Meiji New Government to teach advanced learning and technology to Japan.

Married to Japanese Hanako Arai, and has been awarded the First Order of Zuiho and the Order of the Ribbon of Asahi Japan for his achievements.

The doctor's memorial monument is located on the campus of the University of Tokyo, on the library, and on the riverbank west of Kusatsu Onsen.

　In addition, he is the nominator of "Mongolian spot" found in Japanese.

　Heinrich von Siebold was also a good friend of Heinrich.

 

　The store also requires velz water, honey, general chemicals, cigarettes and drinks by size.

　Inside the store, there are two stairs in the center on both sides, and there seems to be a fine dispensing room in the back.

　I don't like the camera, so I shot the outside.

 

The arched design is nice, isn't it?

The black and dirty wall is the trace of incendiary bombs caused by air raids.

　It is a precious building that preserves the Meiji era. 

　Speaking of which, a resident of Seattle told me that there was a gold sign in your house at an antique shop in Vancouver.

That's right. A long-established story has a different scale, isn't it?

 

 

　When you get off at Chuo-ku circulation bus, "Edo bus" north circulation course "Nakashu", you will see the monument of "Masagoza Ruins" beside the apartment along the road. On the right shoulder, there is an appendix of "Soseki" Cat "the place where the performance is performed".

 Read the description on the right.

　　Soseki Natsume's "I Ha Cat Deal" was adapted by Kaoru Osanai.

　　Yoho Ii and others appeared at the site of Masago-za in Nakasu, Nihonbashi-ku.
　　From November 3, 1906

　　It was performed on the thirty.

　　　　October 2003 lucky day

　　　　　Takayasu Okushima, President of Waseda University 14　　　　Yes, it is.

 

If you look at the regional map AREA MAP, you will see from Nihonbashihamacho to Kiyosu Bridge, pass under the high speed, near the Sumida River, and turn right.

　Masago-za seems to have been a prestigious new theater since the middle of the Meiji era. But one theater is called "Hongo-za". The head is Yoho Ii, and Kaoru Osanai was in charge of writing and directing.

　Kaoru Osanai later connects with Sadanji Ichikawa and plays an active role in the Jiyu Theater and Tsukiji Small Theater.

The explanatory version describes Soseki's "cat" in 1906, but in 1937 translated by Kaoru Osanai, "Romeo and Juliet", and in 1938, Koyo Ozaki's "Kiniro Yasha" was performed.

Kafu Nagai is said to be swimming in the Sumida River when he was young and watching the play of Masago-za in swimwear.

At this time, it was a flower district and the surrounding area would have been bustling.

From here, when you go to Kiyosubashi-dori, you can see the torii gate opposite.

It looks like Kotohiragu Shrine.

　If you look into the monument on the right, Funatama Kotohira Shrine in this area was burned down by the Great Kanto Earthquake and rebuilt in 1954.

　There is a "monument" on the left.

 Turning backwards,

It was built in 1986 and is known as "the monument of the 100th anniversary of the construction of Chushu".

The title of the table is written by Iichiro Hatoyama.

I would like to introduce it.

　　Chushu has a special history.

　Nakashu during the Edo period was one of the best summer viewing moons in Edo, surpassing Suma Akashi.

　It was built during the Meiwa period and prospered as Mimata Tominaga-cho, but was backfilled during the Kansei period.

　In 1886, Nakashu was rebuilt and became the former Nakasucho, Nihonbashi-ku.

　Through the Meiji, Taisho and Showa eras, many cultural people, such as Kaoru Osanai, came and went as the land of Okawabata.

　It will be the stage of the work.

　A commemorative monument will be erected here on the 100th anniversary of the construction of the Meiji era in April this year.

　　　　August 1986 lucky day

　

There are traces of liveliness on the surrounding fence.

 At present, the Hakozaki River is also reclaimed, and only the name of Ayame, the remnant of the former Shobu Bridge, is left in the park under the expressway.　

 

 

 

NHK Taiga drama series "Taira no Kiyomori" has started.

"Suitengu", which has been worshiped at Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods and as a palace for safe delivery and child care, is located at Nihonbashi Kakigaracho 2-chome.

　First of all, main hall of Tokyo Suitengu Shrine.

　There is an explanation board with "Oyu" written below the approach stairs.

I'll introduce you.

 

　<Oyuo>

enshrined deity Tenchu Lord Ogami (Okami of Ame no Mikanushi)

　　　　　　　　Emperor Antoku the 81st generation

　　　　　　　　The Nakamiya of Emperor Takakura, the mother of Emperor Antoku, Tokuko, the name of the mother of Emperor Antoku.

　　　　　　　　The wife of Taira no Kiyomori, the name of Emperor Tokiko, the grandmother of Kenreimon-in, the grandmother of Emperor Antoku

　Our company was founded in 1818 (1818) at the Arima clan residence in Akabane, Minato-ku, where then Yorinori Arima ordered chief priest to feudal lord the spirit of Suitengu in his territory (Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture) to enshrin the branch office in the clan residence.

It is said that the Suitengu in Kurume was founded about 700 years ago.　It was created that one of the Heike women who lost in his Dan-no-ura battle escaped the eyes of Genji and fell near Kurume, and worshiped the spirits of Emperor Antoku, Kenreimonin, and second-ranked nuns who entered with his family.

It is said that the Suitengu Shrine in the Edo period was located in the clan residence, so the common people could not usually worship and threw money from outside the gate to worship.　However, only on the 5th of every month in fair, the clan's residence was opened and worship was allowed. At that time, a pregnant woman worshiped at that time received a pin of Suzunoo (a bleached bell ringing a bell) and prayed for safe delivery as an abdominal belt, so this benefit spread to people because it was very cheap. .　At that time, the popular word that expresses the liveliness of Suitengu Shrine was the fashionable word "Suitengu of Nakearima".

The clan's residence was requisitioned by the Meiji Restoration, and Arima's residence moved to Aoyama, and was enshrined in Kakigara-cho as of November 1, 1872.

The shrines were also damaged by the Great Kanto Earthquake, but sacred object of worship evacuated to Shin-ohashi Bridge over the Sumida River and escaped the difficulties. After that, the reconstruction of the shrine was completed in 1930 and became the shrine hall of Gongen-zukuri as of 1967.

　Let's take a look at Hongu online.

　This is an image of "National So Motomiya Suitengu" located in Seshita-cho, Kurume-shi, Fukuoka Prefecture.

　I would like to introduce the explanation of enshrined deity Yuo.

　　enshrined deity

　　　　main deity of the heavens

　　　　Emperor Antoku (Antoku)

　　　　Takakura Taira no Chugu Shrine

　　　　No. 2 nun

 

　　Origin

After the battle of Dan-no-ura on March 24, 1185 (C.E. 1185), Ise, who served the Takakura-Hiranakagu Shrine, came to the Suitengu Shrine for the first time in the vicinity of the Chitose River (now Chikugo River). At this time, the world of Chikuhi was still unclear, and it was just a desert wilderness. Today, there is Shimo Nomura across the river, but the nearby place name Sagigahana is said to have the old name of the time remaining.

Ise later shaved his hair and changed his name to Chiyo, and performed praying for Kamochi while being asked by a villager, but as Arata of the spiritual test, it became more and more revered, and the company name was praised as Ama Gozen Shrine. Was called Amagozen Shrine.

At that time, he visited Chiyo from Higo, the grandson of Sir Tomomori Tairano, the fourth son of the fourth-ranked general, Tairano, and then adopted it as his successor.　After the death of Chiyo, he ran the grave of a villager and planted pine to pray with Chiyo Shomeijin.　The woman is the daughter of a priest at Ishigami Furu Shrine (currently Isonokami-jingu Shrine), and the tomb is located in front of the main gate of Asahi Corporation in Kurume City, and the Okutsu Castle Festival (Tombmae Festival) is served every spring. Have been.

Our company has not only had a strong faith among agriculture, fisheries and sailors since ancient times, but also heard as a child's guardian angel, a god of safe birth, or a high spirit of prayingEmperor Meiji's birth, and His Majesty Emperor Komei prayed to the Palace.

It is a famous shrine attached to the forbidden prayer place (imperial prayer place) on October 3, 1868 after the remnants of the spirits.

　Seat

It was founded in the first year of the Kenkyu era (1190 AD) on the banks of Chikugo River, Saginogahara, and then moved to various places to avoid soldiers, and there are many places that are said to be ruins of return.　In the Keicho era, he moved to 1-chome Shinmachi, Kurume City, and in September 1650 (1650 AD), Tadayori Arima, the second generation of feudal lord, donated hisshrine hall and transferred to the present location.

Since then, he has been honored by the 9th feudal lord Yorinori Arima, and was particularly revered. On November 1, 1818, he was invited to the clan residence of Edo Mita. After that, it was transferred to Nihonbashi, Chuo-ku as of 1871, and this is the current Tokyo Suitengu Shrine.

In addition, the Suitengu Shrine, which is enshrined in various places such as Japan and Hawaii, is all Obunrei Shrine whose main shrine is our main shrine. Incidentally, there is Maki Shrine on the grounds of the Imperial Palace, which enshrines the 22nd Mizutenmiya Miyaji, a pioneer of the Meiji Restoration who dedicated his life to the restoration of the monarchy as the leader of the Emperor during the turbulent period of late Tokugawa shogunate.

 

　As mentioned above, it was Emperor Antoku who was born with Taira no Kiyomori's second wife, Tokiko (second-ranked nun), entered Emperor Takakura and was born. In other words, in Suitengu, Emperor Antoku, his mother Tokuko (Kenreimon-in), and his grandmother Tokiko (second-ranked nun) are enshrined.

Taira no Kiyomori has Shigemori Tairano with his first wife, Akiko, and Munemori Tairano, Tomomori Tairano, Moriko and Tokuko with Tokiko.

I think everyone knows the "Heike Monogatari" that begins with "The voice of the bell of Gion Seisha, there is an impermanence sound, ..."

Kenreimon-in entered the water with a family member when the Heike was defeated in the Battle of Dan-no-ura, but was helped and lived his life at Jakuko-in in Ohara, Kyoto.　In Heike Monogatari, "Ohara Miyuki", where cloistered Emperor Goshirakawa visits Kenreimon-in, is a famous place.

"Kikaigashima", which is familiar in Kabuki, is a story that Toshihiro and others will be exiled due to the Kagaya incident, but a pardon ship will come, . It was said that this pardon was due to a prayer for safe delivery at Kenreimon-in, which pregnant Emperor Antoku.

I would like to enjoy a TV drama while thinking about the three people who are enshrined in Suitengu.
