This time, it is an introduction to the plain content, but I tried the theme of Nihonbashinakasu where I live.
After passing through the TCAT from Suitengumae Station, there is the bus terminal and the entrance to the Hakozaki Interchange on the expressway, but what I would like to introduce this time is beside it.
If you walk straight for a few tens of seconds, you will find a traffic light, and if you turn right, you will find a plate on the outer wall of the first floor of the apartment on the left side of the entrance to the expressway on your right, Nihonbashinakasu and Mebashi that was once there (2-1 Nihonbashi Nakasu). I decided to introduce it here because of the feeling that there is such a thing in such a place.
As the name suggests, this area, which was the Nakasu of the Okawa (Sumida River), and the Ukiyo-e depicts the state of the time as an area where reeds in the river grow (Hiroshige famous Edo Hundred Views Mitsumata Wakare no Fuchi).
Although it was once reclaimed and bustling during the Edo period, it was abolished during the Kansei period and regained its bustle during the Meiji period. Nakasu is like an island, and the current expressway is the Hakozaki River, which was connected by two bridges, Otokobashi and Mebashi. It's a simple name. It is also a name that makes you feel the Hanayanagi world. It is said that there were theaters, restaurants and restaurants in Nakasu. It seems that writers such as Kafu Nagai also went there.
Now, the atmosphere of that time has disappeared. The waterways were also buried with debris during the war reconstruction, and there was no bustle. Instead, Kiyosu Bridge is built, honoring the beauty of competing for one or two on the Sumida River. What does not change is probably the flow of Okawa. Visitors to Nakasu would probably have enjoyed the ukiyo-e break by looking at the river. Even now, the river is gathering people.
In fact, even if you don't care about Nihonbashinakasu, there are surprisingly many people who pass through this city through Kiyosu Bridge and Sumida River Terrace. However, this plate is in a place where it is hard to see. If you are interested, please look for it when you come nearby.
