Introducing the Puppet Museum "Jusaburokan" in Ningyocho.

The name "Ningyocho" comes from the fact that many puppet craftsmen lived in this area during the Edo period. Tsujimura Jusabro is one of Japan's leading puppet artists and the last puppet craftsman in Ningyocho.

　I wrote it as an art museum, but a little different ... "Tsujimura World"? If you step in one step, it's already another world. http://www.konishi.co.jp/html/jusaburo/home.html

 

　As soon as you enter, the dolls of "Heike Monogatari" that he is currently working on will welcome you. The dolls are very human-like. The characters in the tragedy story are drunk, laughing, and blue. It's an attractive doll that you can hear a chat. There is also a doll with a shell base. After a wonderful transformation, you must not notice a shell. gallery space is on the first and second floors. Unfortunately, the dolls of "Shinhachi Inuden" were away from the exhibition, but there are many dolls such as "Jyushi". Also, at the back of the first floor is a space called "Eyeballza", where a stage concert of chanson and dolls will be held on the third Tuesday of every month. Of course, I made a reservation for next month!

 

　If you are lucky, you may be able to see Mr. Tsujimura. The hall is also the atelier of Mr. Tsujimura. The work table is lined with narrow tools and materials. You may also see works in the middle of production.

　And I was lucky! Mr. Tsujimura told us about the doll production. When Mr. Tsujimura gave a lecture on history, it was strange that the dolls could hear a voice saying "Yeah." The reason why Tsujimura's dolls have the charm of grabbing people's hearts is that Mr. Tsujimura is studying historical figures and producing them as dolls with hearts. The power of "Hachikenden", which carved unforgettable thoughts in children's hearts, was also because the doll had a "soul". 

　　

　The Jusabro Hall is a short walk from Ningyocho (Hibiya Line, Asakusa Line) or Suitengumae (Hanzomon Line). Mr. Jusablo is a stylish silver earring for dressing up. Don't miss it!

 

 

 

　Why don't you spend a healthy day visiting shrines on a refreshing autumn day?

Today, I walked from Kodemmacho to Tsukishima about the "Chuo-ku Shrine Tour" that I learned on October 3.

You can purchase red seals at each company. It's 1,000 yen.　The vermilion seal stamp costs 200 yen at each shrine.

  

　When I went up the station in Kodemmacho, there was an explanation panel of the historic site, but turned right without going there.

　

　Even at Sugimori Shrine, everything is ready for "Bettara City". This is also the main family, Motomoto, etc.

 

　It is one of Edo Mitomi, and is a lottery. There is an explanation with the origin of the lottery. Pray me with a jumbo lottery.

Near the Ningyocho Station intersection, "Eissa, Genji Shop!" A trace.　Turn left and go to Kasama Inari Shrine.

　Kasama Inari Shrine. It is an explanation that it is one of the three major Inari in Japan.　

 

 

　Suehiro Shrine. Former Yoshihara's guardian angel. The god of business prosperity and good luck.　My wife encouraged me to visit many shrines using the other side of the red seal book.

　It is the history of Suehiro Shrine.

　Matsushima Shrine.　I went out because it was Sunday afternoon. I'll come next time except Sunday.

　Suitengu Shrine in Kakigara-cho.　Prospering descendants.

　From Ningyocho Station to Koami Shrine. If you go to the left, you will see it.

　Koharuken, a Western dish founded in 1912. I don't know the taste because I've never been here, but the price is Very reasonable.　I'll come next time.

　Monument of the birthplace of Junichirou Tanizaki and the old signboard of "Phantom sheepkan Hosetsu". Is anyone registered as a trademark?

　When I went in the direction of Ningyocho 1-1, a whale suddenly appeared.　

 

　Seeing the explanation of whales, the sea and Ningyocho, I was convinced.

　Koami Shrine.　Praying that the spirit of evil will be repelled, and two beats and one bow.

　Next, go to Tepposhu Shrine. Let's go around the bridge for a while.

Look at the armor bridge to the right, cross Kayaba Bridge, and turn left at the intersection of Kayabacho. In the middle of Reigishi Bridge, go a little further, touch Shin Kamejima Bridge and go to Kamejima Bridge. There are explanation panels of Mifunetegumi, Shogen River Bank and Zuiken Kawamura.　Crossing the bridge,

　There is a monument of Takenori Horibe.

　Beyond the bridge is the explanation panels of Basho's stone monument, Yanagi Shisei in Ginza, Sharaku Toshusai, and Tadataka Ino.

　Return to Kameshima Bridge and go to Tepposu Shrine via Takahashi.

　This time it's Minami Takahashi. The main part of the bridge is the Sanren Truss Bridge, which uses a part of the former Ryogoku Bridge.

　As it is, straight, cross the traffic light and find a mansion with large tree branches and leaves on the left side about 30m.　That's Oiwa Inari Tamiya Shrine.　

　Is Mr. Iwashi a summer tradition?　I wasn't able to get vermilion seal stamp.

　There's a ball on top of a hundred degrees.　It is a private folk cultural property of the ward.

　I stopped by because there was Konpira Palace nearby. Marukin of offertory box is a little different.

　Now, cross the Chuo-ohashi Bridge and go to Paris!

　In the center of the bridge is the words and bronze statue of Jack Sirak (without title, personal name) at that time.

　Paris Square. It was opened and maintained in 1999 as a thank you for the construction of Tokyo Square in Paris, France.

　If you have time before going to Ishikawajima Lighthouse or Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine, go to the Ishikawajima Museum on Saturday.

　Let's walk along the Okawabata Riverside and stop for a moment. 

　Below the Ishikawajima Lighthouse, there is a lively "green wind" statue.

　Crossing Kobashi, a bronze torii gate is enshrined in the back of Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine.

　Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine. "Marine safety" is in the red seal book.

　A small shrine that you can overlook. There is a gatepost with the name of the Tsukuda Fishery Cooperative.

　Let's go back by crossing Tsukuda Kobashi.

　It's just a little far away, please visit guardian of children and travelers Tsukuda.

　A refreshing day. It took two and a half hours from Kodemmacho to Tsukishima Station.　Also, go through Tsukishima to Tsukiji's Namiki Shrine, plus an hour.　It will be fun in about 3 and a half to 4 hours, and you will benefit and health.　Please enjoy a tour of Chuo-ku Shrine.　It was made of silver.

Fine weather on Thursday, October 15

When I happened to visit Shinkawa's aunt and stay in the apartment where I live, I found Gagaku's unique Sankan Sanko = Sho: Sho (Hideki Togi is a professional and popular one!) Speaking of which, is it easy to imagine? Hichiriki: The dragon whistle: I heard the elegant sound of Ryuki =.

When I looked into the adjacent Masaru Shinkawa Shrine through the window, Reisai Festival was strictly taken by chief priest and black dressers.

If you have an invitation or something, you are attending and attending, so I can't go nearby ... Excuse me, the god of Masaru Shinkawa Jingu Shrine, who took the picture from above (window of the apartment), please forgive me.

Prayer will begin from now on.

 

The names of the people in the seats were called, worshiped in order, and were awarded bills.

  After that, I visited Masaru Shinkawa Jingu Shrine in the evening and looked a little at the precincts.

Speaking of Shinkawa, during the Edo period, there was a canal that flows east and west in front of the current Masaru Shinkawa Jingu Shrine, and sake brewery was lined up on both banks.

The land was cleared by the Australian merchant who had a mansion in Shinkawa 1-chome: I hear it's Zuiken Kawamura. The sake that was packed in barrels from a sake brewery in Kansai and transported by waterway is called "downhill sake", and there is a place where you can drink a little at the entrance of the storehouse, and in the fall, the competition for ships carrying young sake the fastest in the fall.

I want to go to the banks of the Shinkawa River in the Edo period!

 

By the way, the names of famous sake brewing companies and soy sauce manufacturing companies from all over the country that I know were lined up on the bills of donors in the precincts.

In Reisai Festival, direct meeting: It seems that they shout and clapping "Shinkawa tightening" ... "Yoiyoi Yoikora, Yoigohan Joe" and drink a large cup of sake with Naminami and sake.

Speaking of hearing information, I heard from my aunt that the chairman of Kashimaya, a liquor wholesaler on the opposite side of Masaru Shinkawa Jingu Shrine, serves asImperial Household Agency's original sake "Sohana" is a purveyor. Ashamed, it was the first brand I heard, but it seems that it is handled by "Imada Shoten" at the same Shinkawa 1-chome.

I couldn't find the websites of "Kashimaya" or "Imada Shoten", but "Imada Shoten" has a "tavern vaudeville"! I introduced the blog of those who went to this year's liquor store vaudeville. http://tsutomu3.com/09year/0330sakayayose/yose.html

 

 

 

In March 1771 (Meiwa 8), at the prison of Senju Kozukahara, the sinner was divided (dissection).
Ryotaku Maeno, Genpaku Sugita, and Junnan Nakagawa who attended the event were able to hide their surprises.
I didn't know.

"Tarher Anatomia" brought by the composition of the corpses that were well understood.
That's because it was as described.

　The next day, three people gathered at Ryotaku Maeno's residence in the Buzen Nakatsu clan's Nakayashiki in Tepposhu.
I am determined to translate this Dutch book.
 
　With the cooperation of many people, he spent more than three years in Yasunaga 3 (1774).
It was translated as "Dismantling Shinsho" and completed.
　The authors of the publication were Genpaku Sugita, a physician of the Echizen Obama clan, Junnan Nakagawa, and
There were four members: Hitotsubashi family physician Genjo Ishikawa, and Shogunate physician, Hoshu Katsuragawa. They are allies
There is no name of Ryotaku Maeno, who was the mainstay of translation. Imperfect in one theory
Because of the translation, Ryotaku Maeno is willing to publish it and willing to join the name.
It is said that this is the case.
 
　Hoshu Katsuragawa's father, Hogan, and 3rd generation Ho Mikuni Kunikun are in old knowledge with Genpaku Sugita.
In addition, through a political position as an Oku doctor, consideration for the ban on the Demolition Shinsho.
I think you have done it. The Katsuragawa family passed through the first generation, Hozuki Kunikyo, and the second generation, Hozuki Kunika.
As a physician, he had already gained great trust in the public family and in the depths.
　When publishing "Dismantling Shinsho", Dutch verb Yukizaemon Kouyu made a preface.
Naotake Onoda, the pioneer of Akita orchid painting, drew an anatomy.
 
　"The beginning of Dutch studies" is an overview of the Dutch studies world for about half a century when Genpaku Sugita was 83 years old.
The hardships of the translation of "Tarher Anatomia", the people around the Dutch studies world
This is a retrospective of writing character reviews.

　　84 years after the translation of "Tarher Anatomia", Osaka in 1858 (Ansei 5).
The Nakatsu clan clansman and Yukichi Fukuzawa, who were the head of the cram school, was ordered by the clan to study Dutch studies in the area.
I will open a private school.
 
　"The Land of Orchid Studies" is a modern era that celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2008.
It is also the birthplace of Keio University, the oldest private school in Japan.
