The story of Shinohashi, Hitosuke Bridge

[kimitaku] May 16, 2012 08:30

  SINNOOHASI.jpg
"The frost of the bridge that you step on," 

"On the first snow and over the bridge."


These two phrases were written by the poet Matsuo Basho.

That's the phrase I wrote.


This is because the joy of Shin-ohashi Bridge was made into a phrase. 


Shinohashi was rebuilt many times after the bridge was built in Genroku 6 (1692), and was built as an iron bridge in Meiji 45 (1912).

I'm sorry.

The name "Shinohashi" was given as a bridge following the other name of Ryogoku Bridge, "Ohashi".

It connects Hamacho in Chuo-ku and Morishita in Koto-ku, and has a total length of 170M and 24M.


On the way across the bridge 
The origin, the original bridge, Nishiki-e of Hiroshige Utagawa is a relief.
The gently flowing Sumida River matches the color of the bridge and is beautiful.
There are many people who stop their feet and write an inscription.   


The other name of this bridge is derived from the "help (help) bridge".

(There are many stories in the future, we will focus on "Walking in the ward, Vol. 6 Bosha Kawabata section")


 SINNOOHASI YURAI.jpg

 1923 September 1, 1923
  Tokyo was hit by an unprecedented shaking.



>>>"Many of the storehouses collapsed quickly, sand smoke was wrapped, and my eyes could not be opened. Immediately after, there was no noise and the state of silence continued. The people were anxious.

 The fire from the nearby warehouse quickly spread and rained the sparks. Although the fire was extinguished immediately, the fire from the Kanda area burned out Ningyocho.

 It seems that black water came in the river like a tsunami.


 At 8:00 pm when the fire was approaching, the Kayasha family came to Kakihamabashi and amazake Yokomachi burned more than half and was unable to move with a lot of luggage and cars.


 The Kayaya family broke the fence of Hosokawa's house, went out into the garden, but turned around the fire, and went out to Ohashi.

He desperately interrupted and sat in the middle of the bridge and spent all day and night.


 Those who were attacked by fire from both sides of the bridge rushed into the middle with death, and even the center was unbearable. It looks like a scream. They also stepped on deadly, and eventually the people beside them will not move.


 It seems that all the people at the side of the bridge were burnt down.
 The wind blowing was hot, the bridge swayed like a hammock, and the river seemed to have muddy streams. " <<< 


 Shin-ohashi Bridge was covered with iron floorboards, so it escaped disappearing. At that time, it was only one of the five Sumida River bridges.


 There is a "Shinohashi Evacuation Monument" on the right bank of Shinohashi, under the left bank just before crossing the bridge.

 It is a very large monument, and its origin is described in detail. It is noted that many people were helped and "helped" on this bridge, and the lessons learned.

A part of the former Shin-ohashi Bridge is located.

It is preserved in Meiji Village in Inuyama City, Aichi Prefecture.

Tokyo Minato Festival

[Satoken] May 13, 2012 08:30

DSC00103.JPGI went to Tokyo Minato matsuri in the afternoon. I walked round trip from home to Harumi to solve my daily lack of exercise. It was a nice day to walk. In front of the venue, police white motorcycles and police cars were training. It was very cool.

By the way, the weather at the Minato Festival was bad and the wind was a bit strong, so the one who performed seemed very hard.

There were many children, and it seemed to be fun on fire trucks and unusual ships. It will be held tomorrow, so please go out.

Around the public bath in Chuo-ku①

[Satoken] May 9, 2012 08:30

On the 5th, when the major holidays were two days left, I went to a public bath with thought.

When I was a child and when I was a student, I went to a public bath for the first time in a long time.

 

The first place I went to was "World Yu" in Ningyocho.

It has an atmosphere that blends into the surrounding houses, which is likely to be overlooked if inadvertently.

I went immediately after the store opened, but there were already about 15 customers.

There was also a watch stand, and I remembered the public bath where I was a child.

There was a picture of Mount Fuji, an old weight scale, and a small Japanese-style garden, so I missed it for the first time.

There are two baths, one is somewhat deep and cannot sit inside.

The temperature was 44 degrees and it was hot for me. After all, Edokko likes to be hot.

In the coming season, it would be nice to have a cup at amazake Yokocho after a bath and cool down.

Where shall I go next?

 

 

 

There are many boats in Chuo-ku.

    Edo has many canals since ancient times, and it has been said to be a very beautiful city with white walls and greenery of gardens.

 After the Taisho era, many canals were reclaimed, and now it is a little less than a city of water.

There may be some reason.

 However, everyone folds the map of Chuo-ku from the upper right to the lower right and looks at the lower half, and there is still a canal.

You can see a lot. It also shows one side of the city of water.

 Crossing the bridge over the canal, looking at the flow, and various ships are telling me.

Each ship has a long history and is still active, and a variety of ships.

Yes, it's.

    While crossing the bridge over the canal, staring at the ships, blowing in the breeze,

Why don't you try humming     such as "O SOLEMIO"?

The kai tree has entered the subject.

 The photo below is Minami Takahashi. I took a picture of Kame Shimakawa from the fence of Tokufune Inari.

Ship from Tokufune Inari. JPGA large ship and a small ship passed Ayumi (Note) and looked like a parent of Indian spot-billed duck.

 The right is the one aimed at Tsukiji Market from the entrance of Hamarikyu.

Sir. The location of the left buildings is the ruins of the warehouse in Owari-den.

Hamarikyu Ship 1.jpgBeyond that, Yuonen, pleasure

Boats, houseboats, various things

Sir.

 Many here have been since the Edo period.

                         The ship was blown away.

 The lower right I saw from Tsukuda Kobashi on Tsukuda Island.

 Below this surface is the pillar of the large banner used at the Sumiyoshi Festival in August this year.  It's filled. 

Along with the festival on Tsukuda Island, Obori became a print by Hiroshige Ando, an ukiyo-e artist from the Edo period, "Hundred Views of Edo".

 The photo below shows the Tsukuda Sluice Gate from the Asashio Canal. This canal is goby fishing

It's a mecca.

 In the lower left, I saw the Tsukishima River from Triton Square.

During the cherry blossom season in spring, a party for cherry blossom viewing is held.

On holidays, it's also fun to walk through the canal and see various ships.

 (Every time, Nissen is moving. The view always changes

Yes. Don't miss it.
