What will happen to business if you don't have a scale in Edo period?

Zhubo's ten hands 3.jpgDSCN1035.JPGThe ruins of Edo Libraza

Libra is a business establishment created by Edo shogunate to unify the standards for scales.

 

It continued from 1653 (1653) to 1875 (1875). Edo was manufactured, distributed and repaired by the guardian family, Kyoto was manufactured, distributed and repaired by the Shinto family, and the guardian was in charge of 33 eastern countries.

 

In the eastern country, they couldn't use, manufacture, or give their surnames other than the guardian. It was so protected by the Shogunate.

 

The Great Fire of the Meiryaku era (1657) occurred and as many as 100,000 people died, and the central keep of Edo Castle was burned down. The guardian Libra Factory was also burned down, and the wood of the material was burned down. There must have been a lot of orders that could not be handled among them. The guardian said that the wood of the material (a tree that is sufficiently dried and not distorted or deformed) was stockpiled in the suburbs of Edo in preparation for a fire. If you are prepared, you don't have to worry about it.

It's right next to Nihonbashi Takashimaya. Please come along with your purchase.

The photo (Keisen Yashiki) shows the historical site information board (Tsukiji 7-chome 10) set up by the City Board of Education.

 

 The Katsuragawa family had been living in Tsukiji since around the Kyoho period (1716-1736).

 

He was famous as a back doctor of Waran surgeon, and at the time of climbing the castle, he accompanied 11 people, and Hagimoto also gave way.

 

Before the Meiji Restoration (1863), there was a large fire at Tsukiji Temple, and a fire broke out from the direction of the Keisen family, and fired, but immediately after the fire, he took over the residence of "Yanagi Tsushima Mamoru" and moved.

 

The area was over 1200 tsubo, and there was a large garden. 。 There was a residence of the Okudaira family of the Nakatsu clan across Akashibori (Akatsuki Park), and Yukichi Fukuzawa taught Dutch studies.

On April 4, 1875, at the time of cherry blossom viewing at the lower house of the Mito Domain (currently Mukaijima Sumida Park), we ate Anpan as a tea voucher.
I hear you like it very much.

I made the arrangements.
This is Tesshu Yamaoka, a master of swords and calligraphy.


The name of the restaurant in the photo on the left was written.

Unfortunately, the original was burned down during the Great Kanto Earthquake.


Why don't you take a look at it often during the silver bra? It's a wonderful and wonderful character.

 

 

Tokyo Marathon Expo

[Nyan,] February 25, 2018 18:00

 I think that there are many people who are impressed by the fact that when they go home on an excursion and arrive at the dissolution place without any good time, the teacher told me, "It's an excursion until I go home!"

 

"It's an excursion until I go home!" If a championship to say something like that would be held, for me, I have to say, "The Tokyo Marathon starts from Expo!"

 

A full marathon is generally said to be 3 minutes faster when weight is reduced by 1 kilogram. It's not easy to practice to shorten the time of 3 minutes in a very busy day, but what I had gastroenteritis in early February and recovered in one day, but I couldn't eat that meal I lost 2.5 kg in just one day. (Criticism as to whether you eat too much in one meal is accepted.)

 

"Isn't this the best time? If this can be maintained, the marathon time will be reduced by about 7 minutes by desk calculation ... "

 

By the way, on the 23rd (Fri), I went to the Tokyo Marathon Expo for reception. In the morning of this day, the stomach is empty once at a medical checkup and the weight is reset, and the procedure is completed two days before the expo using a leave to go to the Expo. Then, the inside of the body becomes clean, and there is no need to accept and walk around for half a day on the day before it is crowded (Saturday 24th).

 

"Isn't it a perfect planing?"

 

At the Tokyo Marathon Expo, I have participated in wonderful marathon competitions all over the country, but it is completely exceptional. I think that the position as a preparatory exercise for the Tokyo Olympics has further enhanced the level of this Expo.

(Emergency contact information registration, photo registration, installation of secure belts until the end of the tournament, etc. are strictly performed.)

(At the Tokyo Marathon level, Satomi Ishihara will support you. Gold medalist Q Takahashi also appeared. By the way, the advertising brochure of the Okayama Marathon was handed directly by medalist Yuko Arimori, who also participated in the athletic meet in Chuo-ku. . Premium~)

 

 
The most important spot in the exhibition that can be said to be exactly colorful and hundreds of flowers Ryoran is ... Needless to say, the booth in Chuo-ku! (Chuo-ku Tourism Association)

A nice smile instead

 

Many runners also visit Daikanonji Temple, where Idaten, which is fast-paced, but there are also goods from runners related to the Daikanonji Temple.
The towel here is the one with the Idaten, which is excellent. I'm using it now.

・Since there is plenty of length even when wrapped around the neck, it can also be used to prevent cold in winter.
・Because of its high water absorption, it can also be used for sweating (when professional sweating like me, ordinary quick-drying towels are too tight and quickly become tattery, but this towel is OK)
・If you wrap a towel around your head, your uncle's feeling will increase, but this cool pattern will be decided wonderfully ...

That's why the preparation at the Expo, which is also regarded as part of the race, is perfect. All you have to do is run firmly on the day. (The weight we have lost has increased by about 2 kilograms in one day. I have to eat the day before!

Karuta Nihonbashi

[Nyan,] January 29, 2018 09:00

 Now, as you can do anything with a smartphone, as you can copy the world on your palms.
The day when the carta, which uses the palms to be hit on tatami mats and takes the bills, is said to be a feature of winter and New Year, may be a thing of the past.

 

As you can see, the carta is said to be the most classic "Irohakaruta", which supports 47 characters. The contents are different in Edo, Kyoto, Osaka, Uegami, Owari, etc., and the characteristics of the region appear, and it seems that "local Karuta" also exists in various places.

 

Somehow, something like a new proverb, is actually a carta, and there are some things.

 

By the way, when it comes to Iroha's "i", Edo seems to be "a dog hits a stick", the upper part is "a little further dark", and Owari is "a little to know ten". It is interesting to read everything from familiar things to things that you do not understand how to read them.

 

Personally, I think the most major in the local carta is "Jomo Carta". If it is "tsu", it is called "Gunma Prefecture in the shape of crane dance". When I heard on a TV program that introduces the characteristics of the local area, "People from Gunma recites this carta" or "Reflectively lower phrases come out", I think it's just a book of local carta.

 

By the way, what the central inhabitants have to hold down as a local carta is

Of course! "Nihonbashi Karuta," right?

 
: The starting point of the road is Nihonbashi.
Ro: A cherry blossom boat from the banks of Hamacho where the turret is coming.
: I like the first bonito first thing and look good.

 

20180127_blog.jpg

Oh, it's good, it's a maniac. There is a wonderful thing about this Karuta, but first of all, the drawing is Kunimasa Utagawa, the sixth generation.
What? Who is this national government? The sixth generation, not the fifth generation. Considering that there is a free bus with famous metrolinks in the drawing, this is based on the very recent situation, and what is the surviving person ...

 
And there is an English translation of this Nihonbashi Karuta. I'm ahead of globalization. The children can also study English with this. 

 
: The starting point of the road is Nihonbashi.
Hey you!
From centuries past,the place where all roads meet Nihonbashi.
That's right.

 

We also sell this Nihonbashi Karuta, of course, but it is drawn on the enclosure of the building under construction (I knew this), so it's a good idea to discover it while walking around the city.

 

 

What is the origin of the pseudonym of Toya Kitamura from Sukiyabashi?

[Shubo's Ten Hands] January 26, 2018 12:00

DSCN0619.jpg

I'm a graduate of Yasuaki Elementary School.

 

Toya Kitamura, a modern romantic literature, graduated in 1882. The stone monument in the photo is placed in front of the school gate. (You can see it from public roads)

 

Toruya's pen name is

 

Change the number of Sukiyabashi to "To" by reading aloud, and change the shop to "Tani".

There is a story that the sound was called "Koku".

 

Can you help me?

It's a true story.

 

There is Sukiyabashi right next to Yasuaki Elementary School. But ...

Why don't you take a look at your shopping in Ginza?...
