Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

　Chuo-ku has many cultural and artists, but there are few people born and raised along Ginza Street. Ryusei Kishida, famous for his many Reiko statues, said that according to his recollection "Shinkozaikurenga no Michisuji", on June 23, 1891, Kyobashi-ku Ginza 2-11 (currently around the young people of Melonsa in Ginza 2-7, Kyobashi-ku) and grew up in a railway car there.

　My father was Ginka Kishida, one of the pioneers of the Meiji era. His birthplace is Rakuzendo, famous for his eye drop "Seijisui" (Ginka was taught by Dr. Hebon). There was a store, a main building and a factory, and the adjacent factory also had a warehouse across Kishida's house work and Ginza Street. According to Reiko Kishida's "Father Ryusei Kishida", the store is divided into eight frontages, half, and the right is a pharmacy that sells "Seijisui" and "Yaku soap bubbles", and the left is Chinese brush inkstone paper and other stationery and books. It was a bookstore that sold books. (The advertising signboard of the medicine called "Tetsu Candy" of Rakuzendo is left in the local Tenmonkan.) At that time, it was a high-color house, and there was a Western-style balcony on the second floor facing Ginza Street, and Ginka often did gymnastics here. (In "Shinko Hosoku Ginza-dori", it is fun to have illustrations of the birthplace of Liu paintings and illustrations of the adjacent factory.)

　When I was a child, Liu was a fairly mischievous shaven, and placed a small finger made of blood-filled woodwork on the Ginza pavement to make a fuss, and made a woman's neck to lift the woman's hips. He also has episodes suitable for future large painters, such as going to the permanent exhibition of Western paintings at the Kan Factory in Takekawa-cho (now Ginza 7-chome) and having them go to Kido.

　Liu lives are widely known for portraits, including many Reiko statues, self-portraits, and paintings of Yoyogi's cut-through hills ("Reiko smile" and "cut-through sketches" are important cultural properties of the country). As a picture depicting the inside of Chuo-ku, some oil paintings of the Ginza landscape and Tsukiji settlement landscape are drawn at the beginning.

   (By the way, when rebuilding Kyobashi, Ginka Father and Tengu　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Liu wrote that he often remembers that the tobacco Matsuhei Iwaya had begun to cross. It would be at the time of the railway bridge in 1901.

 

 

In the late Edo period, Tadataka Ino completed a full-scale map by surveying all over Japan. The "Dainippon Seaside Koshichi Map" is commonly known as the "Inozu", and was created and completed in Kamejima-cho, Hatchobori. At the historic site, Nihonbashi Kayabacho 2-chome, there is a "map Gosho Ruins" explanation board (left lower photo). In addition, there is a history information board on the south side of Kameshima Bridge Nishizume (lower right photo). 

 

Tadataka Ino was in 1745 (1745) Kazusa Kuniyamabe-gun (currently)Sanbu-gun, Chiba 90Born in Ku-Satocho, at the age of 18, he was married to the Ino family of Sawara-mura, Shimousa (currently Sawara City) and claimed to be loyalty. At the age of 50, he gave up his family and moved to Kuroe-cho, Edo Fukagawa (left in the photo) the following year, studied astronomy under Yoshitoki Takahashi, a shogunate astronomy.

 

Beginning with the survey of Ezochi, for the next 17 years, on-site surveys of the 10th coasts throughout Japan, and the distance is said to have exceeded 40,000 km. Before starting the survey, he visited Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine with his disciples and prayed for safety along the way. There is a statue of a departure (upper right in the photo) on the grounds of the shrine related to that shrine.

 

In 1814 (1814), he moved from Kuroe-cho, Fukagawa to Kamejima-cho, Hatchobori. This was also the official residence of the map office. This land is a part of the leased land of Yorigi Fujita Rokuzaemon's mansion (approximately 200 tsubo), and it is called Kameshimacho, but there is no official town name because it is a samurai area. Therefore, it is based on the name of the town. It was the site of the residence of Takashi Kuwabara Asa (Sendai clan doctor, Edozume, 400 stones).

 

Tadayoshi died in 1818 (1818) at the age of 73, and this was the land of demise. He was buried at Asakusa Gensoku-ji Temple in his will, but the mourning was silent. Even after his death, his disciples continued to make the map, and in 1821 (1821), the "Dainippon Coastal Mikoshichi Map" was completed and presented to the Shogunate. At this time, he announced his mourning.

 

In showing the map to the shogunate dignitaries, the son Chapel said, "... great hall d, Kyoyori Nishinokata large figure 14 volume opening woods. Medium figure, small figure or tug. Mironaka, young Yoro Goranyu, and also Moromaki Kinome ... ("Challencha Diary" July 10, 1821) ("Tadataka Ino Research" No. 34) .

 

 

 

Every October, Ebisu-ko is held at shrines around the country.
The day before that, pickles began to be sold, and it became Beta City.
It seems that it has continued since the middle of the Edo period.

This is also included in the text of the Chuo-ku Tourism Certification.
I love Betara, so I definitely wanted to go there, so I went there for the first time last year.

 

October 19th, 20th and 2 days.
When you get off the station, there are many shops lined up, and there are about 400 open-air shops.
There are more than 100 shops in Betara-zuke shops alone!

 

First, visit Takarada Ebisu Shrine.

This is a picture of last year, but if you look at a shop next to a shrine, you can see a shop.
I hope that the lively Oni-san recommends the tasting, "Let's eat!"
It was very delicious, so I bought it, but it was a famous shop called Tokyo Shintakaya.
According to Imperial Household Agency's purvey, Sanpei Hayashiya appeared on the PR poster of the first Sanpei and the shop.

　

This was lively because Takarada Ebisu Shrine and portable shrine also appeared.

　

I bought it at Shintakaya again this year, but there were also skinned and turnips that I did not last year.
But I feel that the radish is getting smaller because of the soaring vegetables.　

My husband's mother likes it, so this year I sent authentic Betazuke to Osaka on a cool flight.

Ninben, Taro Sakae, Nori Yamamoto, Kaishin, Nihonbashi Bunmeido, etc.
There was also a shop that I visited during the town walking tour.

 

 

On the way to Ginza from Shintomi-cho, you can find a guide plan that conveys the memory of <Mitsuhashi> just near the entrance of Kyobashi on the Metropolitan Expressway.

 If you read the text quietly raised beside [Ginza Lafinate] (formerly Kyobashi Kaikan), you can see that this area was surrounded by rivers.

If you like history novels, you may know, but it is described in detail as the stage of Shotaro Ikenami's novel "Onihei Criminal Book" Vol. 9 "Koiko no Sato". 

[Mitsuhashi] Please refer to Sharaku Sai's blog dated September 24 for the history of the museum. There is a history here in Chuo-ku <24>

 

 What I would like to introduce is [Ginza Rafinate] (former Kyobashi Kaikan) located here.

On the first basement floor, there is a shop called "Mitsuhashi" with a name that conveys history. It's a very calm shop, so please drop in.

 In addition, there is another monument beside the entrance on the first floor of [Ginza Raffinate], which conveys the historical facts. In the first place, this building is related to NTT. Originally, where the Kyobashi telephone office was located, right?

This is the first place in Japan where automatic telephone exchanges took place in 1926. It may not be possible to imagine during the heyday of mobile phones, but at that time it boasted a novel facility where machines connected telephone lines without going through the hands of operators.

By the way, the old name used to be "Shiraoibashi" is left in the name of the tollgate and parking lot on the expressway, and you can remember the past. Please let me know if you know the origin of the older name of Shiraoibashi, "Ushi no Kusabashi".

  As I mentioned earlier, in the past, there were things like Tsuchihashi and Takebashi that left the appearance of the bridge in the name of the bridge, so did Kusahashi leave the grass growing in that name? Whether the cow is an animal or because it was in the direction of the Ox from the castle ... the interest deepens.

 

In both the modern era, the modern era and the modern era, they show various faces ... It is one of the charms of Chuo-ku.

 

[Reference] The left is an old map of the neighborhood. You can see the three bridges facing each other. (Quoted from the Owari-ya version cut-out picture)

The Kyobashi River comes from the left and the Sakuragawa River goes out to the right. Sakuragawa has its name in [Sakuragawa Park] near Hatchobori Station.

In the Edo period, the bell was hit to inform the time.

The first "bell of time" set up in the town was located in Chuo-ku.

The place is Nihonbashi Kokumachi.

 

It is said that the bell tower was built in Kokumachi in Kanei 3 (1626).

It's the time of the third shogun Iemitsu.

 

The first bell in this Edo town. Even if the castle bell was moved in Edo Castle, it was said.

It is said that it was newly cast in line with the construction of the bell tower.

In the first "bell of time", it is said that the bell that sounded in Edo Castle was handed over.

Wouldn't it be nice because it's tasteful?

 

It was the one who managed the bell tower, Genchi Tsuji, who managed the bell tower.

 

But how did you decide the time of the bell bell tower?

From the book of things, it seems that they used Japanese clocks and incense burners.

In the burning time of incense stick, it is the incense burner.

 

Call the abandoned bell three times to call attention, and then hit as many times as possible to inform them.

I did it.

It seems that there were times when the time was slightly different.

The people of Edo must have been relaxed in swallowing it.

 

After the great fire of 1657 (1657), the city area of Edo expanded rapidly.

Along with that, it was set up in more than a dozen places such as Ueno, Asakusa, Ichitani, and Shiba.

 

Currently, the "Time Bell" has been moved to Jisshi Park in Nihonbashikodenmacho.

The two-story bell tower was cast in Hoei 8 (1711).

It's a bell.

 

Why was the first place in Nihonbashi Kokumachi?

That's because it's already the center of Edo town.

The sound of that bell was echoing throughout Edo.

 

 

 

Chuo-ku is a land with lots of waterfronts. There are many places facing the sea and rivers, but it is famous that there were many canals for water transport.

There are many rivers and canals that have been reclaimed now, but the Kamejima River and the Nihonbashi River leave the atmosphere of the former area near Shinkawa.

(The photo shows the current figure near Shinkawa. The photo on the right sees Tsukuda River City.

 

 

In this area, it is said that boats for landing sake and soy sauce came and went until the Meiji period. The canal, which supported Tokyo's commercial logistics, now reflects the appearance of a new town on the surface of the water, and seems to be quietly swaying.

Sometimes why don't you take a walk around the downtown area?
