The sad event of Eitai Bridge 

[kimitaku] Nov. 18, 2011 08:30

 The Eitai Bridge over the Sumida River was bridged in Genroku 6 (1693) 150M upstream from its current location.

The exterior is solid, and it feels like a man.

 There was a sad event on this bridge a long time ago.

 At that time, it took enormous money to repair and maintain the bridge, and there was a danger of flooding and burning, and the Shogunate left Ryogoku Bridge.

The Eitai Bridge has been abolished. The townspeople left the bridge by maintaining them on their own.

I couldn't repair it.

 On August 19, 1807, Eitai Bridge was broken at the festival (Note) of Tomioka Hachiman Shrine.

It was very busy with the revival of the festival for the first time in 34 years, and the festival on the 15th was extended by rain, and it was the 19th.

Until the Hitotsubashi family passed under the bridge, the bridge was closed, and as soon as it was lifted, the townspeople stopped the bridge all at once.

As I crossed, the middle was broken down. Unknown crowds ran out, the bridge was broken, and many were throwing.

I was drowned out and drowned. That number is 440.

 I can't remember now, but recently I've heard interesting stories from old men.

In the 1930s, he climbed and descended the arch of that bridge and played instead of a slide.

He said he was looking down at the cars coming and going from above. It seems that neither adult nor policeman was angry at anything.

 When I looked at the bridge, I somehow wanted to go up and see it. But let's stop because it's dangerous.

 

The shrine parishioner of Tomioka Hachiman Shrine is located not only in Koto-ku, but also in Shinkawa and Reigishima, Chuo-ku. For a festival

portable shrine walks across the Eitai Bridge. In the Edo period, there were many floats in addition to portable shrine, as well as stalls and dances.

The food stalls were also very busy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The monument of Ginbari is located between MONT BLANC BLDG and Ginza Morimae.

[Silver] Nov. 16, 2011 08:30

Today, the weather was fine, so I was spressed with "Silver Bra". In autumn, the street corner where chanson is likely to be heard. A little bit, I walked with nostalgia of the ruins of Ginbari. On the corner of Ginza 7-chome, a little east of the MONT BLANC Building, you will find a monument of Ginbari. noteI felt that it wasnotes dead leaves, but unfortunately Ginzo is an elementary school student. Also, when the store closes, go out of Japan. Let's buy Yukari Kaneko's hit Melo Day "Reunion" at Yamano Musical Instruments at 4-chome.

 Next door, Ginza Morimae is a shop specializing in bonsai.

Postscript: I'm really happy to be able to write down the date of construction on one side of the monument. fujiI think it deserves shinethe Cultural Achievement Award.

 

 

Autum Ginza Gincha Party held at the same time.

[Silver] Nov. 11, 2011 18:00

 On October 30, 2011, a presentation of the naming of the street was held and went there.

First of all, as a greeting, Mr. Matsujiro Takasaka, chairman of the Ginza Nishihachimachi Association, explained the background of the naming.

Next, as a table talk, the lecturer was a young master of Shimbashi Ryotei Kanadanaka, president of the Tokyo Shimbashi Association, and a geisha in Ginza connected from late Tokugawa shogunate to the present. If I would like to introduce the details, the roots of Shimbashi Geisha are:

―――He lent the home area given by Mr. Kinharu Tayu to a performing arts teacher, and since the teachers had many beautiful women, they were called to welcome and welcome the daimyo residence. Mr. Tokiwazu Mojiwasa of Kinharu Performing Arts Village, got permission to take care of the elderly in Edo shogunate at the time, and performed the arts, which was the basis for the Hanayanagi world. Was.―――

 late Tokugawa shogunate, the young samurai who came from the West with the rejection of the Emperor, were not treated at the finest Yanagibashi at the time, but Shimbashi Geisha warmly welcomed him.

As a result, in the early Meiji era, Yanagibashi, which inherited the culture of Edo, Shimbashi, the emerging city Shimbashi, and the Shimbashi Hanayanagi world developed before it was called Shinryu Nikyo, but also secret stories were introduced here Was. --When the Tokaido Line opened to Nagoya, Kaoru Inoue from the Choshu clan, who had served as a former Meiji elder, Foreign Minister, Minister of Agriculture and Commerce, Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications, and Minister of Internal Affairs, borrowed a train from Shimbashi Station to Nagoya Station. He invited Shimbashi geisha to the Hanayanagi world in Nagoya, where he danced. At that time, Nagoya seemed to have been very active in both business and performing arts since the promotion of Owari weather in fighting with Yatsushiro Shogun Yoshimune. 

Unfortunately, the dance of Shimbashi Geisha at this time was not well-received in Nagoya, and told geisha, Nagoya, "When I heard from far away from Tokyo, I thought it would be pretty beautiful, but it was never big if I saw it nearby. It was as if he was abused as "Gifu lantern" and was shameful and felt very frustrated. When I dropped my shoulders and returned to Shimbashi, a heavyweight of the land started a year. We welcomed a first-class teacher called Soke Iemoto from all over the country. It was said that the desire to practice and dance better led to the construction of Shimbashi Enbujo in 1925.

Finally, a wonderful dance was performed. The dance is Nagauta "Hinazuru Sanbaso"

The cube (dance) was Kimiya, Hidechiyo, and the locals (performances such as shamisen) were Kinuko, Teruyo, Yurako, Akiko, and Fumie. With a wonderful dance and permission, I will show you one piece.

Magome Kageyu

[Taro Hama] Nov. 10, 2011 08:30

Hamamatsu-shiBorn and one of the people who have contributed to the creation of the town in Edo, the name of Kanzo Magome comes to mind.

There are few materials related to Kanzo Magome, some of which are kept at the Edo Tokyo Museum, and the whole picture is still under investigation and research. Since Ieyasu entered Edo, he is definitely one of the people who supported Ieyasu in the shadow of the street and as a town master, and maintained and developed the desolate Edo land.

Hamamatsu-shiThe Magome River is a river that flows almost north and south through the center. According to historical facts, Ieyasu, who returned from Osaka's team at Magome Bridge over this river, took 500 people's feet and picked up, and was subsequently offered to give himself the last name of Magome. .

At the same time, a vast vacant lot in Takarada Village (now near Tokyo Station from the current Gofuku Bridge) was given, but was later ordered to relocate to Otemmacho to expand Edo Castle. Now,Chuo-kuSpeaking of the downtown areas of Ginza and Nihonbashi, as the name suggests, Temmacho was a prime place, and not only Hatagoya but also Edo's transportation and logistics center, Mikawa, Ise Cotton wholesalers have entered the market from Ise, and the bustle is booming as a commercial town, and its bustle is today's large scale.

From the time of Ieyasu to the beginning of the Meiji era, the name of Magome Kanyu was inherited almost from generation to generation, and there are some unclear points about which era Magome Kanyu was derived, but as a central person who laid the foundation of Edo's history and culture I think that the day when I get in the spotlight will come.

(The photo at the lower right is the stone monument of "Otake Dainichi Nyoraiido Ruins". For this, bamboo is the lower woman of the Magome family.

 You can see the size of the house of the Magome family.

 

 

 

             

 

 

 

Chuo Kumin College extracurricular lesson-Edomae sushi "Okawa Nigiri" experience tour

1. Nov. 10, 2011 08:30

I am taking a tie-up course "Learning the Reality of Edo gestures" with Waseda Extension Center, which started in September. In this course, you will learn about the background of the creation of Edo gestures, which are gaining attention recently, and the actual business of Edo to understand them. A popular course for the instructor's explosive knowledge, stylish narrative, and personality. Until now, I learned about "Edo recycling business", "Edo convenience store", and "Edo water business", and heard about "Restored Edomae sushi" at "Edo fast food", and said, "I want to go and see" There were many hopes of the students, and after the lecture, we decided to carry out an experience tour.


This time, one of the three stores that recreated "Edo no Nigirizushi" at the time as "Nigiri Okawa". Here, the phantom rice "Sekitori rice" is used, and the vinegar is Mizkan "Mitsuba Yamabuki" (at that time, Nakano vinegar store in Handa released vinegar using sake lees (red vinegar) and Mitsuba Yamabuki). The story reproduces what was shown in the picture drawn by "Mori Sada Manga" and Tamasho Kawabata. Let's take a look. It's a sushi restaurant in Edo.



At that time, the size of the shari was 45g in total, and in modern times it is 15g on average, so it is difficult to receive all types as it is. Therefore, the only reproduction of this 45g size is tuna brew. The others are 15g.

100_0262.JPGAs you know, sushi is nalezushi → Namanare → Hayazushi (Mid-Edo period) → It is customary that Hanaya Yobei evolved into a nigiri sushi (culture and Bunsei) and created a nigiri sushi. "I can eat delicious food quickly," said it was perfect for Edokko, and the mizushi seemed to have taken root in Edo. According to the owner's story, the popular stories at that time were sea bream, flounder, kohada, eggs, and anako, but this time they also contain dried gourds (with wasabi), broiled tuna, and clams. As at that time, all the ingredients are cooked and have a firm taste, so soy sauce is unnecessary. At first, we, who are accustomed to modern grips, feel a little tighter with shari vinegar and salt, but I think that the people of Ichii in Edo about 300 years ago also enjoyed the sushi in front of us. I feel completely "Edojin". When I was hungry, such as returning from a public bath, I often pinch 1-2.



100_0263.JPGThere are many genres and many attractive courses at the inhabitant of a ward college, so it is recommended for those who have not yet taken it. I'm sure you will find something that is interesting.

The new shrine of Yanoko Inari Shrine

[North Yujin] Nov. 5, 2011 08:30

Higashi Nihonbashi 2-chome Just behind Yagenbori Fudoin, there is Yanoko Inari Shrine.

The new shrine hall was dedicated to the opening of the Yagenbori Fudoin 420 years ago.

A votive monument is set up.

yanokura 006.JPG

 

It's the same as before.

yanokura 007.JPG

I would like to introduce it.

Auspicious

When the area around Higashi-Nihonbashi 1-chome was called Tanino, the Shogunate built a rice brewery in 1645 (1645).

It was called Tanino Kura and Yanokura. In the garden, Sansha Inari Shrine, which combines three shrines as the gods of Mikura.

It was a festival. The three companies consisted of Tanino Kura Inari in the center, Fukutomi Inari on the left, and Shinzaemon Inari on the right, but after about 50 years later, Mikura was relocated to Gunshu in 1698 (1698) and Sansha Inari was moved together. People who live in the back of Mikura regret their names and leave Sansha Inari there, and are still enshrined at Higashi Nihonbashi 1-chome as "Yanoko Sansha Inari". Later, in 1873 (1873), "Shinzaemon Inari" was introduced.

In 1932 (1932), "Fukutomi Inari" was relocated to "Hatsune Mori Shrine" in our town, and remains.

"Tanino Kura Inari" has changed many changes and places, and has set up its company in the existing area. The characters used in the name have been changed to a name that emphasizes the character "Yanoko Inari" and especially "Ko".

enshrined deity, like Sansha Inari Shrine, is considered to be "Uga soul life" and does not exist in sacred object of worship, of course.

I have a sickle and rice ears in my hand. "

   February 1978 Yanoko Inari Caretaker   

(The current lot number is Higashi Nihonbashi 2-chome.)

Regarding the case of Yonekura, a monument of "Yanokura" is built on the southwest corner of Nihonbashi Junior High School Building.

On the right side, the purpose of the building is written.

Purpose

Volunteers in the town came together to build this monument as a commemorative project for the town council, hoping that the historical place name of Yanokura will be lost due to the passage of the times, and as a historic site, it will be a story of the people of the later world. It was done.

The origin is written on the left side.

yanokura 004.JPG

Origin

Since the early Edo period, this area has been called Tanino, and in 1645 (1645), the Tokugawa Shogunate built Yonekura, which was built in Yano.

It was called Okura. In 1698 (1698), it was destroyed by fire, and Yonekura was moved to Tsukiji. After moving to Yonekura to late Tokugawa shogunate

In this area, the northeastern part became Machiya, the northwest and south became samurai areas, divided into Yanagisawa Dewa Moriyashiki and several mansions, and later became the residences of others such as Ikimori Matsudaira. Characters such as Taninokura, Tanikura, Yanokura, Yanokura, and Yanokura have long been addressed to the place name of Yanokura Town, but in 1872, the name of folklore was set as Yanokura Town. . April 1, 1971 Higashi-Nihonbashi 1-chome was changed due to the change of the street name accompanying the implementation of the house display.

This monument is erected to commemorate the preservation of the old town name from the Edo period.

      November 3, 1975

(In this area, the town council is all the old town names. There are also many rice shops.
