On the 29th, the Doburoku Festival was held at Koami Shrine on the banks of the former Higashiboriru River.

The so-called festival was named after serving worshipers on November 28 (a muddy sake made from fresh rice harvested in the Shinryo field) served in Niiname-no-Matsuri.

This is the explanation board of Koami Shrine.

This is the adjacent Kagura Hall.

It's a lot of work.

Good luck protection against misfortune's mizuku is visible.

I was able to hear the folk cultural property of Kagura.

The present shrine hall and Kagura Hall were built in 1929 and survived the war and is now the only wooden cypress shrine built in the Nihonbashi area, and is designated as a cultural property of Chuo-ku.

　"Edo Kyobashi Ginza 1-chome. If you go up, you'll be on the left. If you go down, you'll be right. The front is Kyoden Santo, who planted bamboo on a wooden fence and turned hermit. If you put it inside, you will find a store. In Kyoya Denzokata ... (Kyozan Santo "Tobacco Nisho")

　Kyoden Santo, a leading figure in Edo drama, was a resident of Ginza 1-chome from the age of 13 to 56 years old, but in the fall of 1793 (1793), at the age of 33, Kyobashi Ginza 1-chome We rent a house near Kido on the east side bridge and open a 9-shaku Oku Nima store. Ukiyo-e artist Masanobu Kitao has a new design of Kyoden's own design, which is highly regarded as a ukiyo-e artist.In 1795, the same Ginza 1-chome and the father Denzaemon bought a house of a doctor who served as the landlord and relocated, making it a large store with a frontage Mima. Was.

　Kyoden advertises the store in the drama, Utamaro draws the storefront of the Kyoden store in a large format Nishiki-e, and Makoto, which was drawn to Kyoden, is also in the work, `` At this time, there are no people who do not have smoke pipes and tobacco containers at the Kyoden store There are no women who hate Satsuma potatoes and arasu eggplants. " His own tag (flyer) also gained a reputation, and some were tailor-made. (The story is a picture of a child carried by a fox, "Kokin", and an old monk turns upside down and reads "Soro". In the Meiji era, Rohan Kouda wrote a decipherment sentence "Advertisement of Kyoden". )　At the time of opening, the products handled as the prosperity were only paper tobacco containers at the time of opening, but the number of toothpicks, smoke tubes, nose paper bags, medicine such as reading circles and kiomaru, cosmetics such as white peony, etc. According to the number of "Guide to One", cosmetics, booths, and medicine "Kyohashi Kyodenso" is listed in front of cosmetics.

　He has already established himself as a great writer with yellow covers and stylish books, and in the reform of Kansei, he suffered a brushstroke (50 days of the hand chain), but he created a solid and solid family business, based on it. I will play my skills in the field of reading books, comic books and evidence. When it comes to multi-artists, it is often easy to imagine a strange person type, but Kyoden seems to have been a perfect person and a tsujin in terms of personality.

　Utaro Noda, a pioneer of literary walks, described Kyoden as a "Ginza-like person" and wrote this.

"I think Kyoden Santo, who was a smart person of the Edo era, drew dramas and ukiyo-e, and had a Direttant-like culture, and was also a business talent, I think that I am a Ginza-like person."

The Eitai Bridge is now designated as a national important cultural property. It is well known that it collapsed about 200 years ago. On August 19, 1807, the festival of Fukagawa Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine was held for the first time in 11 years. It collapsed when people crowded with the festival were crossing the Eitai Bridge. It is said that at that time, he had a lot of pain in Kibashi. It is said that the number of victims reached about 500 and 1,500, and the exact number of victims is unknown. Shusanjin (Nanpo Ota) wrote this catastrophe in Kyoka, saying, "The bridge over the eternal era will fall down, and today the festival tomorrow will be a funeral." It was also performed in the rakugo "Eitai Bridge".

The 1807 Eitai Bridge collapsed in Peace pagoda and a stone monument in memory of the victims of that time.Shimome, Meguro-kuLocated in the black Seapukuji Temple (left and right in the photo). The temple isFukagawa, Koutou-kuIt was relocated to its current location in 1910 (1910). The Peace pagoda and the stone monument were designated as Tangible Cultural Property in Tokyo in 1991, and an explanation board is installed (left photo).

According to this, "The catastrophe has occurred since the beginning of Edo" "It was erected on the grounds of Kaifukuji Temple at the time of the centennial, 50th, 77th, and 91th anniversary of the drowning." It is the only document in Tokyo that can clarify how Edo citizens perceived the unprecedented catastrophe, which was said to be 4440 people, and passed on to future generations. "

Peace pagoda's pedestal is quite old, and the engravings on it are quite polished and difficult to read, but the names of the victims can be read slightly by engraving Kyobashi and Hatchobori. The Fukagawa Hachiman Festival, which is held every three years, is still held today.Chuo-kuShinkawa and Hakozaki towns on the side are shrine parishioner, boasting a wide range of corporate areas across the Sumida River. It is a valuable historical site that shows that the bearers and spectators gathered from the west side of the Sumida River at that time.

A gorgeous cruise of more than a dozen doll floats, including the floats of the Shizuka Gozen, which had attended the Sanno Festival during the Edo period.Tochigi-shiIt was held at the center of "Kura no Machi Odori". It's Tochigi Autumn Festival.

The festival is said to be held every other year, but this year (2010) is the year of the event, and it was held for two days on Saturday, November 13 and 14 (Sun).

A 3-minute walk from Tsukishima Station on the Tokyo Metro Yurakucho Line and Toei Oedo Line, a large ginkgo tree extends from the roof to the heavens. It's very close to Tsukuda Nami-Inari.

 It is reported that Ueno Kanei-ji Temple and Sutokuin Shrine, who lived in the middle of the Edo period, worshiped the Jizo Bodhisattva deeply and drew the statue of Jizo himself and encouraged the construction of Jizo at temples in Edo Prefecture.

It's the appearance of guardian of children and travelers indoors.

I brought my hand to the main god and took a picture.

It's Jizo Bodhisattva.

 There is a ginkgo tree trunk in the back, and in front of it, there is such a big two.

This ginkgo tree goes out over the roof and grows greatly.

It seems that there was a story about the inhabitants' tangible cultural property ..., but he declined to grow up with everyone in the local nature.

So there is no detailed information about "Ginkgo".

I looked up from the gap and took a picture.

"What is this?"

I breathe in front of the work that connects with zuzui in front of me.

About 200 years ago. A picture scroll that shows the streets of Edo in 1805 (2nd year of culture).

It is "Heedai Shoran".

The main street from Kanda Imagawa Bridge, the center of Edo in Hana, to Nihonbashi, overlooking Fuji in the distance.

The hustle and bustle of the streets are overlapping Machiya, the noise of people coming and going.

It seems to be transmitted to the smell of life.

The detailed description of the main street spreads in a long space unique to emakimono.

This picture scroll is housed at the National Museum of Asian Art in Berlin, and displays reproductions that are 1.4 times larger than the real one.

The place is the Nihonbashi Sanzen Echizen Concourse. Right next to the ticket gate of "Mitsukoshimae Station" on the subway Ginza Line and Hanzomon Line. In terms of the ground entrance number, it is between A3 and A5.

"What is this power?"

In 1805, the general of the time was Ienari Tokugawa.

A shining scene of culture and Bunsei, which can be said to be the mature period of Edo culture.

An overwhelming flow of people. A number of long-established stores that remain today.

You are drawn into the expressions and gestures of the people who are drawn.

I feel like I'm walking in the gorgeousness of the town of Edo.

Animals include dogs, cats, horses, cows, one monkey and two hawks.

Why don't you look for a monkey and a hawk as a clue to see the picture scroll?

We will return to the ground and look at the streets 200 years from now.

From Nihonbashi, walk along Chuo-dori toward JR Kanda Station.

Imagawa Bridge does not exist at present because the former Ryukan River has been reclaimed.

Instead, "Imagawa Bridge Origin" is set up in front of HONMA GOLF.

From here, let's look back on the Nihonbashi area.

What kind of impression does the scenery of the town appear in the eyes walking in the picture scroll?
