In Yae no Sakura Edo, my brother is Shozan Sakuma, Kaishu Katsu, and Yoshida Shoin.

[Silver] January 18, 2013 14:00

 NHK's Taiga drama series "Yae no Sakura" broadcast on TV has started.

In the first part, there was a scene where my brother Kakuma Yamamoto visited Shozan Sakuma Juku in Kibiki-cho to learn Western artillery. I would like to introduce some of the people I met during Kakuma Yamamoto's stay in Edo.

 Please see here for the explanation board of Shozan Sakuma Juku, which was introduced at the time of Ryoma Den earlier. http://www.chuo-kanko.or.jp/guide/spot/ginza/ginza_18.html

At the same time, Kaishu Katsu and Sakamoto Ryoma also attended Shozan Sakuma Juku.

Kaishu Katsu later became the president of Tsukiji's warship training center.

Please see here for the ruins of a prison in Temmacho, where Yoshida Shoin was trapped, dreaming of flying abroad.

Through this Taiga drama series, I would like not only to learn about the history of late Tokugawa shogunate in the Edo period, but also to think about the people of the Aizu clan who are involved in the rejection of the Emperor and the flow of defeat. 

In the Ryomaden aired a few years ago, Sakamoto Ryoma, who was from a lower-class samurai, heard that in the United States, he was able to choose the president directly in the election, and in order to realize Japan ideal for the United States, he participated in the movement if there was only a defeat in cooperation with the male clan such as Satsuma. For more information about historical sites related to Ryoma, please refer to my blog report.

How to study the Chuo-ku Tourism Certification

[Mido] January 15, 2013 09:00

For those who have applied for the Chuo-ku Tourism Certification Examination but have not studied yet.
I will teach you an effective learning method.
Of course, the text "Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia that can be seen on foot" and
Please prepare a collection of past problems at hand.

If you're going to study, first read the text diagonally and give an overview.
I'll do it. You don't have to try to remember it here, so you know the whole image.
Next, let's try the collection of past problems intensively. Probably about 50%
You don't have to worry about it, but you don't have to worry.
If you solve past problems for three years, there is a general tendency to ask questions.
I think you'll understand. Some are easy, some are quite maniac.
There are various things, but there is a nuance of whether the question will be asked from such a place.
I will be able to understand it somehow.

For example, "the origin of ...", "the person related to ...", "the author of ..."
"The predecessor of ..., old name, alias, current name" is given every time.
"Number" is also easy to make a problem, so remember the points related to numbers.
The filling of Haiku and Kawayanagi is also often questioned.
And rivers and bridges always come out, so it's better to study the details.

If you understand the general tendency of questions like this, I will write the text this time.
I'll read it carefully. Mark this place where you think it's going to come out
Read the text repeatedly.
Make sure you have a good image of the photos in the text.
Let's do it.

In addition, you can earn points if you remember the events and news that were in the year.
For example, in the fourth exam, there was a problem related to the movie "Kirin's Tsubasa".
Teskito alone is enough, but if you can afford it, go to the tourist association site.
If you check this correspondent blog, it's better.

The pass line is 75 points, so we do not aim for 100 points, but target 80 points.
In other words, there is a feeling that you don't have to do 20 points.
Please stay calm and do your best.

Please refer to this about 2012 (the fifth) Chuo-ku sightseeing certification.
