Minami-Takahashi is an iron bridge that was built on the Kamejima River in 1932 (1932) as part of the reconstruction plan after the Great Kanto Earthquake.
A part (central part) of the former Ryogoku Bridge, which was hung over the Sumida River in 1904 and was damaged by the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, is used for this bridge.
It is said that it is the oldest road bridge in Tokyo where cars can pass.
It is designated as Tangible Cultural Property in Chuo-ku.

Introduction of Yanagi Kayo Clinic (Chinese medicine Internal Medicine)

[kimitaku] October 30, 2013 09:00

One of the few in Chuo-ku

 

This is an introduction to Yanagi Kayo Clinic, a specialty clinic specializing in Chinese medicine. 

 

P1000439-1.jpgThe location is located on the third floor of a building that walks a little toward Edobashi from the intersection of Nihonbashi Kaki shellcho 1-chome Tokanbori Street and Shin-ohashi-dori St.

 

I'll ask you.

It is said that the hospital opened in 2008, when it became possible to add "Chinese medicine" to the medical department advocacy (*).

 

 Mr. Kayo Yanagi

 

He worked as an anesthesiologist at Osaka University Hospital for a long time and earned a doctorate, but he met Chinese medicine ten years ago and became able to understand long-standing questions about Western medicine.

P1000440-1.jpg 

 Chinese medicine doesn't deny Western medicine, but wants you to use it together to "take good things."

 You look at the whole person in Chinese medicine, and your body heals yourself, and in that case you have to improve your lifestyle. And if Chinese medicine could help heal the whole body.  You said.    

 

 What are the characteristics of Chinese medicine? : I examine each person and make a different prescription for the same illness and symptoms.

    "The same disease"    That's right.

 

  

 The teacher himself was also in Chinese medicine, and since he recovered his health, he has been more and more involved in the charm of Chinese medicine.

 For patients who have no abnormalities in the test, but are somehow in poor physical condition or suffer from atopic, allergies, diabetes, etc.

     I hope you will feel free to contact us.

How to make a reservation, etc. (Actually, I am also a patient at our clinic.)

I couldn't feel well, so I decided to have a medical examination at "Yanagi Kayo Kuriniri Nic" in early spring.

When you call, you need to make a reservation, and before that, please fill out the medical questionnaire in detail. After filling out the form, send it to our hospital

On the day, the teacher looked seriously at the contents filled out, and asked me, about 40 minutes that time. After receiving a prescription, I go to the hospital about once a month. From the second time, the medical hours will be completed in about 15 minutes.

 "Thanks to you, it's completely recovered now. I can't catch the case.

 "Don't drink cold things, get up early," may have been good to follow the instructions. )

Kirisansho (Umekatei)

[Tachibana] October 13, 2013 10:16

I haven't eaten "Kiri Sansho" recently, but when I was a child, I often ate it because my parents bought it when I was in "Bettara City". During the Edo period, Ebisu-ko was held on October 20 at the gate of Takarada Ebisu Shrine in Otemmacho, praying for thriving business. One of the lucky itemss offered at that time is "Kiri Sansho".

"Kiri Sansho" is a simple snack made by steaming a mixture of sugar and pepper juice (or powder) with Kamishin flour, polishing it, and cutting it into claps. Colors are red, white, light blue, light green, etc. It has a feeling like a gyuhi, and it is an adult taste that just contains Sansho.

 

Suddenly, "Kiri Sansho" suddenly became nostalgic, and when I contacted "Umekatei" in Kodemmacho.

It seems that it will be lined up in stores only during the period of "Betara City".

This year's "Betara City" is Saturday, October 19 and 20 (Sun).

Preparations for "Betara City" are already underway in the town.

Kodemmacho's Meikatei is closed on Saturdays and Sundays, but it is said that both days are specially open from 8:00 am to night (around 6:00 or 7:00). It is said that "Kiriyamasho" and "Kiri sheepkan" will be sold at stores. It seems that there are no food stalls in Bettara City. Maybe it's possible to sell it on the 18th (Friday).

The main store of "Mekatei" is currently Shinkawa (formerly Reigishima), but the birthplace is Otemmacho-a one-way Ningyocho-dori, which runs next to the current shop, is located near Ningyocho, one block. It seems that the branch is left at the current location because it is the place where the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ Otemmacho Branch is located.


 Unfortunately, there is still no real photo of this year because the production and sale of "Kiri Sansho" and "Kiri Mushi Sheep Kan" is only during the period of "Betara City".

 

The photo is a part of the sweets lined up in the shop.

If you go to "Bettara City", please try "Kiri Sansho" and "Kiri sheepkan" because it is lucky items.

Nippon Maru came to Harumi Wharf.

[kimitaku] 09:00 on October 3, 2013

 

P1000315-1.jpgOn Saturday morning, a large sailing ship was anchored while walking at Harumi Wharf.

Well, in Kaiomaru, it was "Nippon Maru." 

The difference from Kaiomaru is that Nippon Maru does not have a golden mermaid emblem on his bow.

 

P1000322-1.jpg

According to the dictionary, "Nippon Maru" is a training sailing ship at the Ministry of Transport's Voyage Training Center, with a total drainage of 2,570 tons and will be in service in 1984.

This is the successor ship to the Nippon Maru in Yokohama.

So officially, "Nippon Maru II." The Kaiomaru is 2286 tons, so it seems a little larger than Kaiomaru.

Mitsui O.S.K. Lines' large passenger ship is "Nipponmaru" without mistake.

 

P1000322-1.jpgToday, it is anchored 200 meters east, not in front of the cruise ship terminal at Harumi Wharf.

It is not listed on the landing schedule of the terminal. I don't know how long it was anchored, but on a very peaceful day, I sent it to the camera to let you know the male figure.

The birthplace of fingerprint research

[TAKK...] 09:00 on October 2, 2013

[Ginza]

September 20, 2013.

On the release date of the new iPhone, in front of the Apple store in Ginza, there was a long line called more than 700 people.

 Apple. jpg

A new fingerprint authentication function has been added to the new iPhone 5s, which has become a hot topic.
When did such a method of identifying individuals from fingerprints begin?

 

[Akashicho]
In Akashi-cho, Chuo-ku, just 1 km from Ginza, there is a stone monument called "the birthplace of fingerprint research."

Fingerprint stone monument jpg

Fingerprint stone monument 1.jpg

 

Akashicho became a foreign settlement (Tsukiji settlement) in the Meiji era, and many Westerners lived there.
Henry Falls, an Englishman, lived in a corner of the Tsukiji settlement, where the monument is currently located.

You can also see the name of "Henry Halls" in the map of the time.

 

Gu ticket figure 2.jpg

Henry Faulds (Henry Faulds, 1843-1930) came to Japan as a missionary and stayed in Japan between 1874 and 1886. In addition to Christianity missionary work, he opened Tsukiji Hospital and engaged in medical treatment, and worked hard to protect Japanese volunteers and blind people.

In addition, I was interested in the fingerprints of ancient people left on pottery excavated from Omori Kaizuka.

In 1880, he published a paper in Nature, stating that fingerprints can be used to identify individuals.

The stone monument was erected to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the adoption of the fingerprint method by the Japanese police (April 1, 1911) to honor Falls' achievements.
