A large ginkgo that feels like it coexists with guardian of children and travelers rather than the precincts of Tsukudatendaiko Ikuchizoson, which is familiar to locals. Do you know exactly the trunk, altitude, and age around the tree? Even if you measure around the trunk, it is impossible because the enclosure is tightly made.
One day, a local guide was told on TV that it was 350 years old, so I came up with it. Tsukuda Island was created in the Edo Tokyo Encyclopedia in 1645 (Shobo 2), so ginkgo was planted almost at the same time. For what purpose did fishermen at that time grow ginkgo on Kojima in 100 square squares? About 150 years later, when you look at the pictures of Hiroshige and Hokusai in Tsukuda, it looks like a small island but green trees are growing. Isn't it a small island, but fishermen planted a lot of seedlings to want greenery? If only this ginkgo remained to date, it would have lived with local culture and tradition. It's a natural monument. However, I heard that it is very difficult to determine the age of the tree. Do you know any more about it? In Tokyo, ginkgo, which is estimated to be 800 years old, is still growing lush at Kofukuji Temple in Shinagawa.
water. In the past, most districts were surrounded by Horiwari and rivers. Not to mention those who knew immediately after the war, there were watersides here and there until just before the Tokyo Olympics. There was a bridge, and people and cars were coming and going. After that, there are still several bridges that turned into the capital highway Michigami, but the bridges that were over the reclaimed river disappeared.
But it's a big deal! The name of the bridge in history remains. Sukiya Bridge, Kaji Bridge, Gofuku Bridge, etc., which everyone knows, are important points of transportation and are the names of intersections.
is the intersection with the name of the bridge that is now missing in the photo?
