"What day is today" includes a historical anniversary, a birthday of great people and celebrities, and an anniversary of a good and slightly painful word-to-look, but this "Shoes anniversary" was 1870 (1870) This is commemorates the day when Katsuzo Nishimura built a leather shoe manufacturing factory at the current Irifune 3-chome.
According to the Japanese Dictionary (Shinchosha), Katsuzo Nishimura was born in Edo in 1836 (1836) and is the third son of a servant of the Shimousa Sakura Domain. His brother, Shigeki Nishimura, is a bureaucrat in the Meiji era, a moral thinker, a member of the House of Lords, and a principal of the Chinese school. He studied Western artillery, and in 1856 he left the clan and turned into a merchant. In 1867, he opened a gun shop in Edo, and after the Meiji Restoration, became a purveyor of the Governor's Office. Since 1870, the Ise Katsu Shooting Plant, leathermaking Plant, and Merriyas Plant were established. In 1875, he started manufacturing refractory bricks, and Shinagawa Shiraren established a factory in 20 years, which became a pioneer in this business. "
"I abandoned the samurai and turned it into a merchant" was still genius in view of the times? The reason for starting the shoemaking business was that the military shoes imported by Masujiro Omura, the founder of the Army, were too large, so he responded to a proposal to "create West shoes that fit Japanese feet." The place where the factory was built is the current Irifune 3-2-10, and the monument of this "the birthplace of the shoe industry" stands in the entrance planting of the building of ITOKI. "We also supported Masanori Hotta of Sakura feudal lord, who was rich in enterprising spirit," but Masanori Hotta's father was Masamitsu Hotta (Onaka Shuza), who is familiar with history textbooks, and the Shimousa Sakura Domain had a deep connection with Chuo-ku. The location of the Chanogi Shrine (Ningyocho 1-chome) was theguardian angel residence of the Hotta family.
If you take a walk a little longer, you will encounter a monument called "?!" In Chuo-ku. It is an unexpected pleasure to find Edo and Meiji continue to live here and there. It's been the best season for a walk.
Why don't you go out for a "history walk" while paying attention to pollen and PM2.5?

If you walk south along Kiyosubashi-dori, you will find a stylish Japanese restaurant called "Kiku no Ie" in Hisamatsucho on the right side. You can see panel photos around Hamacho on the end of the war on the side wall of this shop.
It feels like the tragedy of air raids is left in a burnt field.
If you walk to Meijiza, you will see a small hall at the entrance to the green road to Hamacho Park in front.
"The origin of the construction of Meiji Kannondo" is on the monument.
main hall was built to pray for the happiness of many spirits who died in the war on March 10, 1945.

Shinsaku Nitta, the applicant
Yes, it is. (New Nitta is a person who was instrumental in the revival of Meijiza.)
Meijiza also became the evacuation site during the air raid, and many people died during the Great Tokyo Air Raid on March 10, 1945.
The sticker shown in the back is a notice about the memorial service held at Meijiza on March 10.
March 11 marks the second anniversary of the Great East Japan Earthquake, and will this be gradually weathered?

The cold winter has finally reached the turning point of the season, and signs of spring have gradually spread. In each area of Chuo-ku, there will be more opportunities to feel spring with the buds of flowers and the scent of a little wind.
 Spring is also a milestone season for transportation. This is mainly because the schedule revision will take place at this time. New schedules will be set according to demand and equipment conditions. This year, the revision will be implemented on March 16 at JR and private railways.
Speaking of topics in Tokyo, the Tokyo Metro Fukutoshin Line and the Tokyu Toyoko Line will start mutual direct access. As a result, the Tobu Tojo Line and Seibu Ikebukuro Line will be able to interact with the five companies via the Fukutoshin Line, including Tokyu to the Minatomirai Line, further ahead. It seems that commercial battles are becoming active throughout the railway line in order to attract the flow of people.
 That doesn't seem to be very relevant to Chuo-ku, but that's not the case. First, measures such as increasing the number of trains will be implemented on the Yurakucho Line, which operates in parallel with the Fukutoshin Line. Rather, with the commencement of direct operation between the five companies this time, congestion during the rush of the Fukutoshin Line and Yurakucho Line is expected to increase, especially in the morning schedule. Please note that those who use the stations of the Yurakucho Line "Ginza 1-chome", "Shintomicho" and "Tsukishima" in the city.
In addition, the most shocking thing is that the direct connection between the Tokyu and Hibiya Line ends with the direct connection between the Fukutoshin Line and the Tokyu Toyoko Line. (The Tobu side will continue to be implemented.)
The Hibiya Line is also an important route for Chuo-ku. There are 7 stations in the city. Compared to 4 stations on the Ginza Line and 5 stations on the Toei Asakusa Line, it is also a familiar route. It is also familiar that the first train departs Hatchobori at 5:00.
 In the first place, the direct connection between the Hibiya Line, the Tokyu Toyoko Line, and the Tobu Isesaki Line started almost half a century ago in 1964 (Showa 39). It seems that the opening of the entire Hibiya Line was urgent to prepare for the Tokyo Olympics. Of course, we have also contributed to smoothing the rapid increase in the flow of people. It is also a pioneer in Japan's multi-track entry.
At that time, what was discussed was the length of the train to be used. Opinions were divided depending on whether to use a 18m car or a 20m car, but in the end, the 18m car claimed by the Keidan Subway (currently Tokyo Metro) was adopted because of the many curves. Today, most urban railways use 20m vehicles, so if you look closely, you will notice that the Hibiya Line vehicles have a short length.
 For commuters and students who go to the city center from eastern Saitama and northeastern Kanagawa prefectures, this system that allows direct access without transfer has been greatly welcomed and loved for a long time. However, after that, the railway network in Tokyo was further developed, for example, people who relied on the Hibiya Line were divided into JR Shinjuku Shonan Line, Subway Namboku Line, Subway Toei Mita Line, etc. As the relative value of the Hibiya Line began to decrease. Furthermore, it is thought that the role of the Hibiya Line will be greatly reduced due to the upcoming direct connection of the Fukutoshin Line.
In addition, due to the problem of the car length mentioned above, it can be said that Tokyu has decided to run a 18m car on the Toyoko Line from the comparison of loading capacity.
 As a result, direct operation from the Hibiya Line to Kikuna will not be seen from March 16, and it is impossible to prohibit a slight loneliness. "To Kikuna" and "To Musashikosugi" will disappear from the destination display indicated on the timetable of each station.
At the same time, the operation of <Tokyu 1000 Series>, which had been on the Hibiya Line from Tokyu, is expected to end with this. Since it was operated exclusively for Hibiya Line direct use, I do not know whether it will be scrapped or converted to another company, but it is true that this Tokyu color will not be seen on the Hibiya Line.
Can you see the temporary train "Minatomirai-go" (Kitasenju-Motomachi-Chukagai), which was sometimes operated before?
It is natural that the operation of transportation will change with the times, but I would like to watch this milestone with gratitude, thinking about the history of direct operation of the Hibiya Line, which firmly supported the city access of Showa. You.

One day in February, I came to Nihonbashikobunacho. A person who suddenly became acquainted with me told me about the secret story of local history and hidden famous shops. One of such historical secrets is Tokiwa Inari Shrine, which is enshrined at 1-8 Nihonbashi Honmachi.
Tokiwa Inari Shrine was described in detail on this explanation board.
Regarding the history, the god of worship was Kura Inamamei (Inari Oga), and during the Muromachi period, when Michio Ota built Edo Castle, he received the spirit of Fushimi Inari Ogami in Kyoto and was recommended as the guardian angel of the castle named Tokiwa Inari. . Later, the Ieyasu Tokugawa Public Office expanded the Edo Castle area, and the shrine was moved around the current Tokiwa Bridge. After that, he moved further to the Nihonbashi Fish Market and enshrined the market's guardian angel Suijin Ogami (Mizuha no Megami), who was enshrined at the shrine. At that time, a grand water god festival was held called the Great Market Trading God, and along with the Kanda festival and Santenno Festivals, it was also a famous event of Oedo. The water god Ogami was relocated to the precincts of Kanda-jinja Shrine in 1901 and renamed Mizu Shrine, and has been worshiped as the guardian angel of Tsukiji Market. ・This is an explanation.
After all, I thought I had to have a lot of opportunities to listen to the stories of the local people.

An event in which NPOs and volunteer groups operating in Chuo-ku participated was held on March 2 (Saturday) from 1:00 pm to 6:00 pm at the center of the collaborative station in Jushi Square. It was open to the public on this day, and it was an opportunity for participating organizations to show their daily activities to the visitors, and also a place for exchange between groups.
 Under the title of "The Great cultural festival of Knowing, Laughing and Connecting Town", 13 organizations including the Chuo-ku Cultural Property Supporters Association participated and exhibited at workshops and other events. This event has been held in the ward office meeting room, etc. under the name of the trade fair, but this time the venue has been moved here.
The Chuo-ku Cultural Properties Supporters Association, which is active as a volunteer guide for walking around the history and sightseeing towns of Chuo-ku, introduced a virtual experience of walking around Chuo-ku for 30 minutes from 1:00 pm (photo). The three courses, Nihonbashi, Tsukiji, Tsukuda Island, and Ginza, were screened using slide shows, and each course staff explained and presented highlights and hidden spots. It was designed to rediscover the charm of the history and sightseeing of Chuo-ku, which is different from the actual town walk.
In this cultural festival, "Let's find the spring of Jisshi Park!" The workshop will walk around the park, observe and touch the petals of the planted loupes with a loupe to see the plants close, and talk about the rakugo de area by a rakugo artist living in Ningyocho. A fun plug lamb such as a story was unfolded. ●Akira Makibuchi
