　Love is the secret of the human world, love and the later human world ...

　Montaro Toruya Kitamura, a pioneer in modern Japanese literature, was born in Odawara in 1868, and moved to Shichi-cho, Yazaemon-cho, Kyobashi-ku in 1881 with his parents and brothers. My father goes to the Ministry of Finance and my mother starts a tobacco retailer. After moving into Yasuaki Elementary School, he was recognized for his outstanding talent by Principal Kazutaka Taniguchi. After graduating from the following year in 1882, he became a politician and joined the Liberal Rights Movement, but eventually left there, entered Christianity, proceeded to the path of literature, and published poems and criticisms that surprised the world. In May 1894, the premature genius ended himself in a short life of 25 years and 4 months.

　Yazaemon-cho Shichi is the current Ginza 4-3. It was a two-story building with a corner lot on the middle left from Sukiyabashi toward Owaricho intersection. (The name of Toruya comes from Sukiya Bridge.)　Toruya moves many times after that, but he returns here after a while.
Of course, I went to Yasuaki Elementary School from here, and my marriage with Minako Ishizaka also published "Shu Prison Poetry" at my own expense. The year before his death, it was the clothesline in this house that committed suicide by piercing his throat.
Toson Shimazaki, who was impressed by Tokoya's text and had a friendship, said that he often went to play on the second floor of that tobacco shop. (Fujimura also learned from Yasuaki Elementary School, but his friendship with Tokoya began long ago in 1892 with the introduction of Yoshiharu Iwamoto.)

　At the entrance of Yasuaki Elementary School, there is a familiar monument called "Learn here at Toson Shimazaki Kitamura Toya Young Children". This seems to be the only thing in Toruya that remains in Chuo-ku.
(One snake leg. Although it is the above monument, I think that the order of name is the opposite even if you think about various things such as birth order, transfer order, literary relations, etc. ...)

(At the same time, one more snake foot. In Odawara, Toruya's fabric, "Kitamura Toriya Birthplace" monument (Hamacho 3-chome), "Toruya Kitamura Montaro Tomb" (Shiroyama 1-chome, Kochoji), and "Kitamura Toriya Monument" (Minamicho 2-chome, Odawara Literature Museum site. It was made by Fujimura's rush. It is engraved with Fujimura brush as "Dedicated to Kitamura Toya." )　In addition, you can see a lot of related materials at Odawara Literature Museum. If you are interested in Toruya, this is a must-see.

On May 26, the Edo Ken 1st grade "Fifth Period Association" and town walk were held.

This time, the theme is to visit Yosuke of the "Shinsenden" series written by Eisuke Ishikawa and Ningyocho in Nihonbashi, which Inakichi loved.

 

A natural course that gathers in front of Mitsukoshi Subway, starts with Hirodai Shoran, Tokiwa Bridge, Ichiishi Bridge, and Nihonbashi High Folding.

In the vicinity of choledo, free shopping time and stylishness are fun.

During the Edo period, we walked to Ningyocho through Kofune-cho, which was called "Teruricho".

Kakigara Ginza Ruins, Genji Store Ruins, and finally Kodenmacho Ingoku Ruins.

For a while, with the feeling of Takasugi Shinsaku, I visited the monument of the end of Yoshida Shoin. I immediately forgot that feeling and went to a fun launch izakaya.

 

It was about 17,000 steps, and members of the average age were worried about tomorrow's physical condition, but it was a fun town walk.

 

 

The 13th special exhibition "Hundred Views of Tsukishima"-120 years of Tsukuda, Tsukishima, Kachidoki, Harumi and Toyomi Mizumachi are being held at the Chuo Ward Folk Tenmonkan (Time Dome Akashi). The first Tsukishima site was completed in 1892 (1892), and this year was planned for 120 years. The exhibition will be closed on Monday from May 19th (Sat) to July 1st (Sun), and admission will be free at special exhibition.

 

The exhibition hall is composed of four themes, and valuable inhabitant cultural properties are also displayed.

 

The first theme is the history of Ishikawajima and Tsukuda Island as a prehistory of Tsukishima. The beginning of the Tsukishima area was Ishikawajima, which was built in Yorisu in Edo Minato in the early Edo period. It is known for the fact that there was a place for people. It was Tsukuda Island that was built on the south side.

 

The second theme is the birth and development of Tsukishima, from which it is from the modern and Meiji eras. Tsukishima No. 1 was born 120 years ago in 1892 (1892). Shipbuilding companies flourish on Ishikawajima and develop into a major coastal factory area.

 

The third theme is economic growth and the town of Tsukishima. It was around the time when it began to attract attention as a waterfront close to the city center, such as the Tsukishima area after the war and the Harumi area of the emerging area.

 

The fourth theme is to touch on the religion and culture of the Tsukishima area. Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine on Tsukuda Island was the guardian angel of Tsukuda fishermen since the early Edo period. The Ryokan / Kaikaikan, which has excellent views, created literary works as a place for the creation of Meiji literary writers.

 

The 120th anniversary of the completion of Tsukishima has progressed with the progress of modern industry, and it has become today as a town for the common people. Looking back from the standing of Ishikawajima, it has a history of more than 400 years since the early Edo period. This exhibition gives an overview of the history, culture, and lifestyle of the Tsukishima area. ●Akira Makibuchi

"The frost of the bridge that you step on,"　

"On the first snow and over the bridge."

These two phrases were written by the poet Matsuo Basho.

That's the phrase I wrote.

This is because the joy of Shin-ohashi Bridge was made into a phrase.　

Shinohashi was rebuilt many times after the bridge was built in Genroku 6 (1692), and was built as an iron bridge in Meiji 45 (1912).

I'm sorry.

The name "Shinohashi" was given as a bridge following the other name of Ryogoku Bridge, "Ohashi".　

It connects Hamacho in Chuo-ku and Morishita in Koto-ku, and has a total length of 170M and 24M.

On the way across the bridge　
The origin, the original bridge, Nishiki-e of Hiroshige Utagawa is a relief.
The gently flowing Sumida River matches the color of the bridge and is beautiful.
There are many people who stop their feet and write an inscription.　　　

The other name of this bridge is derived from the "help (help) bridge".

(There are many stories in the future, we will focus on "Walking in the ward, Vol. 6 Bosha Kawabata section")

 

　1923 September 1, 1923
　　Tokyo was hit by an unprecedented shaking.

＞＞＞"Many of the storehouses collapsed quickly, sand smoke was wrapped, and my eyes could not be opened. Immediately after, there was no noise and the state of silence continued. The people were anxious.

　The fire from the nearby warehouse quickly spread and rained the sparks. Although the fire was extinguished immediately, the fire from the Kanda area burned out Ningyocho.

　It seems that black water came in the river like a tsunami.

　At 8:00 pm when the fire was approaching, the Kayasha family came to Kakihamabashi and amazake Yokomachi burned more than half and was unable to move with a lot of luggage and cars.

　The Kayaya family broke the fence of Hosokawa's house, went out into the garden, but turned around the fire, and went out to Ohashi.

He desperately interrupted and sat in the middle of the bridge and spent all day and night.

　Those who were attacked by fire from both sides of the bridge rushed into the middle with death, and even the center was unbearable. It looks like a scream. They also stepped on deadly, and eventually the people beside them will not move.

　It seems that all the people at the side of the bridge were burnt down.
　The wind blowing was hot, the bridge swayed like a hammock, and the river seemed to have muddy streams. " ＜＜＜　

　Shin-ohashi Bridge was covered with iron floorboards, so it escaped disappearing. At that time, it was only one of the five Sumida River bridges.

　There is a "Shinohashi Evacuation Monument" on the right bank of Shinohashi, under the left bank just before crossing the bridge.

　It is a very large monument, and its origin is described in detail. It is noted that many people were helped and "helped" on this bridge, and the lessons learned.

　

A part of the former Shin-ohashi Bridge is located.

It is preserved in Meiji Village in Inuyama City, Aichi Prefecture.

While reading the monument

A young woman heads to the monument

He was holding his hands deeply.

 

 

 

"Do you like rakugo?" I'm a new fan of 3 years ago. My favorite storyteller was also created, and I gradually understood the fun. Would you like to go to the shop or the place where the characters appeared in the story after listening several times? The perfect course for such people is "The World of Edo Tokyo Enjoying Masterpiece Rakugo" (Chuo Kumin College Waseda Collaborative Course). The first one is May 11, "Wealth of the inn and Ningyocho". After the lecturer explained about Bakurocho, where the inn was the stage of the story, Sugimori Shrine where the lottery was held, and the lottery performance, DVD of "Yukuya no Tomi" (recorded in 1994) played by Shincho. Watch. While listening to the morning with a good tempo, one-third is in a dream because of the synergistic effect of darkening the room and the time difference that does not yet come out is attacked by a fierce sleeper! (Lecturer, I'm sorry Mr. Shin Asa) "Sukuya no Tomi" is a well-known story in rakugo, but according to the explanation, "Originally above, Kosan moved to Tokyo with a story such as" Takatsu no Tomi ". Therefore, the place is also from Takatsu Shrine to Sugimori Shrine. "I'm performing at Yushima Tenjin in the morning." Let's go to the stage right away.

There are a lot of flags on the way to Sugimori Shrine. It was Reitaisai festival's day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I met portable shrine. Sugimori Shrine is said to have been founded during the Heian period, and in the Edo period it was counted as one of Edo Mimori along with Kasumori and Yanagimori, and attracted the religion of people. It is also famous as a place for lottery performances that became popular in the Edo period, and often appears in period novels. Edo's lottery is the market price each minute and usually 100 first-class cars. It is said that it was often purchased jointly because it was expensive for the common people (100,000 yen per car is 25,000 yen). A monument of "Tomizuka" is built at Sugimori Shrine.
