In the vicinity of Tsukiji, there are many quaint houses that retain the pre-war remnants.

 

 

One of them is the Hamano Family Residence, which is designated as Tangible Cultural Property residents of Chuo-ku.

 

It is said that it was built in 1930 (1930) as a combined house of the Hamano family, which brokered marine products.

There is a family crest on the rain gutter. It's an elaborate design.

There is also a "correct" character on the roof tiles.

The detailed design is elaborate, but it has a harmonious and elegant appearance.

 

The interior is closed to the public, but I think you can think of the life of merchants in the early Showa era from the exterior.

 

 

 

The 12th Chuo-ku Bouquet Festival was held on June 21 and 22 at the Chuo Ward Women's Center "Bouquet 21" (left photo). Since the center celebrated its 20th anniversary, more than 30 registered organizations participated under the theme of "20-year-old bouquet-creating together and walking together-".

Specifically, with Chuo-ku homepage 6/19, 2013　>>Here

 

                     　

This time, the first floor hall became a “open space for presentations”, and a single stage entitled “Gaze at Misuzu Kaneko Life” and a presentation introducing activities by participating organizations were held. The festival, which uses the venue from the first to fourth floors of the museum, was crowded with children from nearby elementary schools and residents of the city.

 

The Chuo-ku Cultural Properties Supporters Association, a history and sightseeing volunteer guide group of Chuo-ku, also participated for the first time, and presented town walking activities at booth exhibitions and presentations (right photo). @ Akira Makibuchi

 

 

 

In the Edo period, "Kasho" was one of the annual events of the Shogunate, the same as Goshoku and hassaku. Daimyo and Hagimoto were all registered as castles, and about 20,000 sweets arranged in Edo Castle great hall were distributed by the generals. It is a ceremony to eat confectionery and wish for protection against misfortune.

Also in the "Toto Toshijiki"

―`` Celebrate the celebration of Kasho on the 16th, the castle of Moroho, and the good luck of good luck, (Making the rice cakes of the houses, those who are shimmering, preparing and eating with 16 sentences of Zen. I can't do it. "

The origin of "Kasho" is unknown, but "It was held in samurai and courts during the Muromachi period, and what lost with Yangyu on this day was purchased food with 16 Chinese "Kadada Tsuho" and offered it to the winners . It is said that "Ka" and "Tori" were pleased by the samurai because they lead to "win". What became the most popular during the Edo period was "Ieyasu prayed for victory before the battle of Mikataga Hara, picked up Kadada Tsuho and made a lucky charm, and Tokuro Okubo of retainer presented handmade confectionery." This rattan Goro Okubo (main water) is also known for developing Koishikawa Josui, which later develops into Kanda Josui at the order of Ieyasu, but it became a confectionery shop of the Shogunate utilizing the talent of confectionery making and became a confectionery shop for the Shogunate for generations. It is said that he was deeply involved. (Toraya's HP)

Since the Meiji era, Kasho's events have been abolished, but as you know, the National Japanese Confectionery Association has begun to hold events on this day as "Wagashi Day".

The photo shows Toraya's "Reproduction of Kasho confectionery delivered to the Imperial Palace at the end of the Edo period" (limited sale from June 14 to 16). 14 and 15 are reserved only. On the 16th, there was a store selling.) For some reason, the timing was not right every year, and the face-to-face meeting was over several years. I'm thrilled.

Time novels sometimes give sweets on "Kasho Day", but "20,000 confectionery in 500 tatami mats of great hall" "How many confectioneries manufactured?" I was expanding my imagination and delusions, such as "Isn't the daimyo secretly exchanged when the target sweets disappeared?" According to Toraya's website, "The general only gives confectionery by hand, and then leaves the back. Daimyo and Hagimoto took their own sweets. Until the second shogun Hidetada, the shogun gave confectionery himself, so his shoulders hurt for a few days. "

In addition to this "Kasho Confectionery 7 Kemori", "Kasho Manju" and "Kasho Steamed Yokan" are also sold at Toraya, so please take a look at the store. (It is said that there are some places that are not available depending on the store.)

Toraya was founded in Kyoto in the late Muromachi period. It is a long-established long-established store that does not need to be explained again. This time, the Toraya Ginza store opened in 1947. On the 2nd floor, there is also "Toraya Tea House" where you can enjoy tea while looking at Ginza Street, and shaved ice has begun.

If you receive lucky items's "Kasho Confectionery" from "protection against misfortune and Invitation", let's bet your luck on the lottery. I have a good feeling. ・・

The festival of Tsukiji's Namiki Shrine is held in early June every year. In the first place, it has been handed down as the "Natsukoshi Festival". It is known as the "Lion Festival" because the large lion head is made into portable shrine and paraded around.

 

The main festival is decided once every three years and was held last year. Therefore, this year is the so-called 'Yin Festival'. Still, on Sunday, the head office portable shrine travels around each town. It is a summer event that everyone at Tsukiji is looking forward to.

I'm sure someone will report on the main event, so I'll tell you about the imperial procession Children's portable shrine Union held on the 8th.

 

At 3:00 pm on the day, the children's portable shrine and floats departing from the side of Tsukiji Honganji Temple went around each town to Namiki Shrine. Here we receive a purification from Shinto priesthood, take a break, and then return to each town.

Even though it is in the middle of the city, it is lively with many children gathering. In Chuo-ku, the population of children is increasing now. Children's cheers really soften their feelings.

 

 

 

When departing in front of the shrine, the representatives of the children hit the claps side by side on the table. Generally, in festivals, it is called "Take". The children were nervous and tightened the second half, and started the second half.

It's a great time for me.

 

 

Even though the child portable shrine is small in size, it has the same craftsmanship and craftsmanship as the large portable shrine. The children said, "Wow. It is said that the shouting of "wasshoi" progresses bravely, smiling and reliable.

When the cruise is over and the dissolution is over, the children are relieved and pulled back by their parents.

 

 

It is a great pleasure that traditional event is firmly connected across generations. And I once again felt the significance and importance of expanding the exchange of local communities.

 

 

 

As you walk around the city in Chuo-ku, you will notice that shrines and temples are scattered everywhere, such as the valleys of buildings and sometimes the first floor of buildings.

Yagenbori Fudoin, located in Higashi-Nihonbashi 2-chome, is one of them.

Yagenbori Fudoin stands quietly between the condominiums on the Toei Asakusa Line and walking toward Asakusabashi.

 

The Tokyo branch in Kawasakidaishi, famous as the master of protection against misfortune, is known as "Edo San Ofudo" along with Mejiro Fudo and Meguro Fudo.

Although not large in size, it has a long history, and in order to escape the army of Hideyoshi Toyotomi, Kishu and Negoro-ji Buddhist monk put it in Tsuzura to protect the statue, and came to the Sumida River to build Dou.

Later, Taizen Sato founded the Dutch Medical School Wada Juku (later Juntendo University) in this area, and a monument to the birthplace of the talk was erected here.

 

When I went up the stairs to visit the temple, I saw a monthly talk at the temple and a guide to sutra copying.

 

●15th of every month: sutra copying Association 14:00, 2nd 18:00 (Participation fee: 1000 yen)

●28th of every month: Fudosan's fair Talk Meeting (free admission)

 

What is the difference?

According to Wikipedia, `` The performer sits in front of a small desk called Shakudai in Koza, hits it with a posterior to get in shape, and reads mainly historically related reading materials such as military journals and political talks to the audience. It is said to be one of the traditional performing arts of Japan.

It is said that Akamatsu Seizaemon took "Taheiki" around Asakusa Mitsuke, which was the beginning of Edo Kosha.

 

In the past when there were no newspapers or televisions, such talks would have been an important source of information for people!

After all, the hearing wasn't at first glance, and I decided to check the talk on You Tube about what kind of entertainment it was.

If you enter "Kodan", you will see some images.

There are a wide range of young performers, from young performers to veteran performers, and even young performers have a lively talk with a fan like a drumstick, and there are moments when laughter is excited.

Probably, there were many fans among the popular performers.

 

At Yagenbori Fudoin, in 1982, the dedication talk continues on the 28th of every month from the first dedication talk by Mr. Sadaka Ichiryusai, "The Wife of Kazutoyo Yamanouchi".

Next time, I would like to listen to the talk live!

 

How about a time slip at Yagenbori Fudoin for a while?
