Get off at Shin-Nihonbashi Station, the first station from Tokyo Station on the JR Sobu Main Line, and go to the ground from Exit 4.
There is a Muromachi 3-chome intersection where Chuo-dori and Edo-dori St. intersect.
To the intersection, a signboard of the Chuo-ku Board of Education is posted immediately on the right side of the exit.
"Chuo inhabitant of a ward cultural property Nagasakiya trace"
What kind of place was Nagasakiya?
There is an "old man" who knows anything wasteful.
"That's not. Echen.
It dates back to the Edo period, but Nagasakiya was the residence where Dejima's chief Dutch trading post came to Edo shogunate to greet him.
"It's strange that foreigners were in Edo because they were supposed to have been 'seclusion' in the Edo period."
It's not impossible to think so. For she writes that she closes the country with a chain.
It was a policy that feared the spread of Christianity, which was contrary to the authority of the Shogunate, and that foreign daimyo could accumulate power in trade.
But the door was only a little open to the world, even when it was called isolation.
Edo shogunate permitted trade in Dejima only in the Netherlands.
On the other hand, the Netherlands monopolized Western trade with Japan.
So, Mr. Dutch trading post regularly came to Edo to thank him.
At that time, I was staying at Nagasakiya, a drug wholesaler.
Because of the handling of imported drugs, it would have been tied to the lodging house.
There is a picture on the signboard.
It's a picture called Nagasakiya "Eimoto Toyu" drawn by Katsushika Hokusai.
There are two or three red-haired people wearing a foreign hat in the mansion.
What are you talking about? The words spoken by distant foreign people and the sounds of the instruments they brought may have flowed to the street.
From the street, the people were looking at the inside of the mansion.
The samurai of the two-legged and the townspeople of the tail. The landlady dressed in a stylish kimono. The fathers who carried the child are depicted.
From the background of the era of isolation, I think that security around the mansion was also severe, but from the picture, the curiosity of the Edo people is transmitted more than tension.
Around the end of the Tokugawa period, those who had a compelling desire for Western technology, culture, and information may have also wrapped their mansions.
It is said that many celebrities such as Genpaku Sugita and Gentaku Otsuki appeared in textbooks on Japanese history have visited.
It is also said that the Netherlands had submitted to the Shogunate a report summarizing the world situation, called the Dutch-style Theory.
The old and middle bureaucrats of the Shogunate seemed to have known about the arrival of Kurofune quite early through these.
Nagasakiya was a "window of the world" that existed close to the people of Edo as a place for exchange with foreign cultures.
Here, Honishicho 3-chome in Edo, near 4-2 Nihonbashi Muromachi, is the trace. "
"Grandfather," leaves with a lingering finish.
A city where historical sites remain because it was the political and cultural center of Japan. The neighborhood of Nihonbashi Muromachi.
Why don't you look for an information board at the end of the year and the beginning of the year?
My husband's father's favorite dish is in the middle, so I've tried a lot of reputable middle so far, but after knowing the chrysanthemum, I always have this souvenir without hesitation. As many fathers in their 80s flatten by themselves, I think you can understand the taste.
