Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

You can feel the sign of autumn from summer to autumn.

Well, I would like to introduce you to you.

I'm visiting here

It's been a long time since I came to pray for safe delivery on the Day of the Dog.

At that time, I found a cute thing that I didn't notice.

"It's a child treasure."

The puppy has a tail wrapped around it and a string attached to the mouth

It's like a mischief and adorable.

I'd like your mother's dog's loving face.

The gold ball around it is carved by Earthly Branches.

You should do wish while touching your zodiac sign.

This is called "Safe Child Care Kappa".

In addition to the baby kappa she holds,

There is also a cute child kappa on her mother's left shoulder.

There are a lot of flowers in the precincts.

It was full of tranquility that I couldn't imagine right next to the station or the road.

Will the walking season in Chuo-ku be in the future?

Suitengu, where you can enjoy a relaxing feeling.

 

 

 

 

The four squares set up in the four corners of Nihonbashi.

In the open space of Otohime on the east side of Nihonbashi Kitazume, there is the statue of Otohime, whose name was derived.

 

Speaking of Otohime, there is a light image wearing a hagoromo and a light image.

This statue is made of stone, and is sitting in the throne dignifiedly like the daughter of Ryujin.

Are you beautiful?

No, no, it's ruined.

Even though it is close to God, you can measure the amount of money.

 

The throne, seagrass and the decorations of shellfish formed by the fish represent the sea of fertility.

 

But after all, I can't get a hard impression.

In the case of Ryugu Castle, it would be better to have a colorful palace.

At night, the gate is like the Odakyu Electric Railway "Katase Enoshima Station", and at night, the surroundings are gorgeously colored with LED lights, and the sea bream and the sister of Hirame flutter the flutters and dances. Ryugu Castle.

 

Oh, apparently, the stereotype of Ryugu escalated the delusion.

 

"The Port of Nihonbashi Ryugu Castle"

In the first place, this area was the Nihonbashi Fish Bank, which was responsible for the kitchen of the common people through Edo and Tokyo.

Fish from all over Japan, as well as fish from Edo-mae, are similar to the dance of Ryugu.

It's a lively appearance that there was "1,000 cars a day".

From the foundation of the Edo shogunate to the Meiji Restoration and to the relocation to Tsukiji during the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, Nihonbashi Fish Bank continued its business for more than 300 years.

 

The monument of the birthplace of Nihonbashi Fish Market in front of Otohime's statue was erected in 1954 by people involved in the fish market.

 

The temperament of the fish shore, which aims to handle fresh fish, is an Edo kid full of stylish and insecutable spirits represented by Tasuke Isshin, who played an active part under the opinion of the world Hikozaemon Okubo. I created one shape.

 

To handle the fish to be delivered to the castle, Chiyoda's castle is the eyes and nose of the fish shore.

Edo Bay, which can be said to be the outer moat of the castle, and people on the fish shore where you can quickly go back and forth between diggings stretched vertically and horizontally.

The organized group will catch fish in front of Edo, but in the event of an emergency, it will quickly change into a role of a practical maritime security guard.

Is this too much thought?

 

Mullets (Ina) who protect Ryugu, jump in the waves.

 

 

 

 The Nihonbashi area has been partially rebuilt, including the Mitsui Main Building (construction year 1929, Shigebun), the Mitsukoshi Main Store (1935, Tokyo Metropolitan Historic buildings), the Nomura Securities Building (1930), and the Nihonbashi Takashimaya (1933).

In 2007, the Mitsubishi Warehouse Building, the Edobashi Warehouse Building, and the Edobashi Warehouse Building, which was introduced here, was selected as the Historic buildings Metropolitan Government in 2007 as a representative work of the expressive architecture in Japan.

The Edobashi Warehouse Building was completed in 1930. It is said that it was built in Japan's first full-scale urban warehouse in this area, a historical place since its foundation. From the Showa-dori side, what is still noticeable is the tower that looks like a bridge of a ship. This is said to have been made as a flag stand for raising the company flag. Looking at the front entrance from the Nihonbashi Post Office side, a soft curve looks like a bow of the hull. The design of the wall is also rich in variations, and there are semicircular windows reminiscent of balconies and sea windows, and there are many highlights such as the stone design on the first floor that gives a solid impression, so you will not get tired of it. By the way, the design is a company employee.

In addition, this warehouse was partly equipped with Japan's first trunk room, which stores furniture and household goods in Yi and trunk units, following the "furniture warehouse" that flourished in the United States at the time. This is a hint obtained from the United States but tried to meet the needs of "safety of household goods" according to the actual situation in Japan shortly after the Great Kanto Earthquake, and this "transparent room service" was an advanced work in the United States at the time It seems that it is understood and introduced in American magazines. More than 80 years ago, more than 80 years ago, "Saki Yomi" and decided to start a new business with the naming of "Trankroom" as it is now and everyone will use the trunk room casually! Sir.

　

 According to a news release, an overview of the new building was "Leveraging the low-rise part as Historic buildings, approximately 70% of the existing exterior walls, including natural stones at the base and curved walls, and a Funabashi-shaped tower building was built at the top. 18 floors above ground and 1 floor below ground. The entrance hall on the first floor will be a public space, and a hydrophilic space will be set up on the banks of the Nihonbashi River, and it will be a public space in the same way. "I'm looking forward to 2014, which is scheduled to be completed, but the building in the current form You can see it for more than a month. The Nihonbashi area is a treasure trove of famous architectures that cannot be overlooked. Both are between finger calls, so why don't you try "Nihonbashi Architectural Walk" all day?

On August 15, the 66th anniversary of the end of the war, the midsummer sunshine shines from the morning and the cicada rain echoes from the grove, signaling the noon signal at the bell tower in Jisshi Park (NihonGreat East Japan Earthquakekodenmacho). This bell was recasted just 300 years ago, in 1711 (1711).TokyoIt is designated as Tangible Cultural Property.

 

This bell, which was installed at Jisshi Park, is engraved with the inscription "Chukan = mid-April enema of the casting carpenter Shiina Iyo Fujiwara Shigekyu", and was cast in 1711 (1711). Was. The Kokumachi bell, which was also written by Kawayanagi, saying, "Kokucho lays or wakes up Edo," was abolished in the Meiji era, and was completed from Honishi-cho to Jisshi Park in 1930 (1930). It was relocated to a reinforced concrete bell tower.

 

During the Edo period, time bells were set up to inform the city of time. It seems that in the early days, he played a drum in Edo Castle to inform the time, but he was eventually moved out of the castle. The first bell is said to be the bell of Kokumachi, founded in 1626 (1626), and was placed at Honishicho 3-chome (currently around Muromachi 4-chome). At present, an explanation board for Chuo-ku is installed around the site where the bell tower was located, and the adjacent road is "Time Bell Street" (lower right in the photo: between Muromachi 3-chome and Jisshi Park).

 

The calendar of the Edo period was the lunar calendar, and people lived around at a time called irregular time. At the same time as the movement of the sun, the day began from sunrise to sunset. Therefore, the length of the daytime is different between the winter solstice and the summer solstice. The day was divided into 12 categories (engravings), the sunrise was set to six, and the sunset was set to six.

 

At the same time, the bell at the time was hitting the bell every two hours. Kokumachi is said to have been involved in the bell bell tower for generations, receiving and managing four sentences of bell towers a month from more than 400 townspeople around the area. In addition to Kokumachi, there were nine places in Edo City, including Ueno, Asakusa, Shiba, Ichitani, Honjo, or more, or bell towers that were said to be more than that.

Painter and poet Yumeji Takehisa was also good at drawing a pretty girl with big eyes.

At Gofuku Bridge Higashizume, you can also see the traces of "Minatoya Esoshi Paper Store".

It is written in front of "Shin-Gofuku Bridge Building" on Eitai-dori St.

This land was a place where Yumeji lived and transmitted designs, and was also a place of memories with his lover Hikono.

It seems that he loved the bustle and atmosphere of Edo Nihonbashi.

However, the diary immediately after the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 says, "Edo is gone ..."

Former site of Minatoya Esoshi Paper Store Former Gofuku Bridge 2 Higashizume

It is said that from 1913 to 5 years, he sold booths designed by Yumeji and was known as a specialty of Tokyo.

There was a gallery on the second floor, where young Koshiro Onchi gathered.

Suzukake (Platanas), which has experienced the earthquake and war damage, also wrote Yumeji, grows again on Eitai-dori St. in front of the old store.　　　　　　　 　　　 I can't wait for people who can't wait for the night. It seems that the moon will not come out this evening ...

 The above is the letter of Yumeji addressed to Haibara.

On the back of the envelope below, there is "Noshu Nasu Onsen Komatsuya Yumeji Takehisa".

The postmark "3, 6, 13" is likely to be June 13, 1928.

"It's a good thing to give you a hundred pieces of stupid and careful people to this one."

Haibara asked Yumeji to design envelopes, stationery, Chiyogami, fan fans, etc.

Yumeji was also a "customer" who prefers to use Haibara Washi for himself.

          　Mr. Haruko Nakamura, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Haibara Co., Ltd., gave me a special photo.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　         http://www.haibara.co.jp/

I think Yumeji walked with Hikono to Nihonbashi, Ichiishibashi, Bank of Japan head office, Mitsukoshi head office, etc.

        Haibara has been established for 200 years since its establishment in 1806 (1806).

As a long-established Japanese paper company, we sell mainly Japanese paper and paper products mainly at the Nihonbashi Main Store in Tokyo.

It is depicted in "Empire Japan Tokyo Nihonbashi-no-zu" (around 1887).

It was the beginning that the geese paper was first sold to the common people of Edo as indicated by the Japanese shop curtain of the "geese paper Haibara".
