Location Near 22-22, Nihonbashi Kayabacho, Chuo-ku

　
The map office was located in the residence of Tadataka Ino (1745-1818), known for producing the first full map of Japan based on actual measurements. Tadataka Ino moved his home from Sahara, Shimousa Kuni (currently Sahara City, Chiba Prefecture) to Kuroe-cho, Edo Fukagawa (currently Koto-ku, Tokyo) at the age of 51, and entered the gate of the Shogunate Astronomy Yoshitoki Takahashi to study astronomy. I started. From 1800 (1800), he began surveying all over Japan in earnest, and over the next 17 years, surveying the coasts of Japan, and it is said that the total distance was about 40,000 km. In 1814 (1814), Tadataka Ino, who returned from surveying in the Kyushu region, moved from Kuroe-cho, Fukagawa to the current location, which was called Hatchobori Kamejima-cho. The site of this mansion was about 150 tsubo, but it was used not only as a place of residence for Tadataka Ino, but also as a map place for making survey maps. Tadataka Ino died at his home in Kamejima-cho in 1818 (1818) before the map was completed, but Tadataka Ino's home was used as a map servant, and in 1821 (1821) The "Dainippon Seaside and Map" was completed by the members of the astronomy.

　Cafe Paulista is a coffee specialty store that became the etymology of "Silver Bra", which opened before Kojunsha in December 1911.　In Brazil, people born in Rio de Janeiro are referred to as "Caryoka in the sense of Rio kid", and "People born in Sao Paulo" are called Paulista. Cafe Paulista means a coffee shop in Sao Paulo. In the Taisho era, many people visited in search of a new drink called coffee as a new culture.

　Then, among literary and Mita students, going to drink Brazilian coffee at Cafe Paulista came to be called "silver Bra", and one day it changed to "walk around Ginza".

　As I introduced before, here we will issue a "Silver Bra Certificate". This is a certificate that you drank Brazilian coffee at a cafe Paulista in Ginza, but if you open the certificate, press the certification stamp and press 10 seals, you will be free of coffee.

No matter how many books I get, I lost them, so I put them in the guide's name holder and carry them around.

　Well, you all know that on the first floor of the cafe Paulista, etching copper board (made by Colombia) depicting a farmer working in a coffee farm is displayed.　On the second floor, a variety of works are exhibited, focusing on paintings by Japanese painters living in Brazil. Please receive the leaflet of "Information on Cafe Paulista Ginza Store" and enjoy the appreciation of paintings.

We hope you all have a pleasant Christmas season and a bright and good New Year.　Silver

　Feliz Natal e Prospero Ano Novo

Ozu Washi is one of the oldest long-established stores in Nihonbashi.

It was opened for two years (1653). Starting from Matsuzaka in Ise, I came to the current Edo Dai Temmacho.

In addition to the store on the first floor, Ozu Washi has a historical museum with about 1,000 ancient document registered by Chuo Ward Tangible Cultural Property. A guide can also be requested), various cultural classes, Japanese paper galleries nationwide, and paper making classes that can be experienced with one coin, the facilities are so full that you can enjoy the day.

Paper making experience for 500 yen. Of course, you can take your own paper home.

I think some people are wondering what to buy because the souvenirs are great, but in such a situation! Perfect size and price for a small Nihonbashi souvenir! There is a product called "Oh".

That's right!

Do you know anything about it?

(By the way, the doll on the side is the zodiac do bell that you can visit around Ginza Hatcho Shrine.)

This is a lens wiping made of microfiber.

The product name is "Optical Lens Cloth Glasses", but of course, it is not just glasses that can be wiped. Oil stains on screens of smartphones and personal computers, camera lenses, and fingertips. Just wipe it quickly and it will be really beautiful. You can remove the fine dirt on the smartphone screen just by gently stroking it several times. Moreover, once you wipe it, you can use it repeatedly until it breaks instead of poi.

Unwoven fabric made of micro fiber developed by a long-established Japanese paper company. Do you feel the fineness of your eyes?

Even in a box, there is a small pocket type that costs several hundred yen.

This is the first time you use it....!, So I think it is a product suitable for practical and souvenirs.

In stores, it is often placed next to the cash register, but it may be a bit difficult to find it, so I think it would be better to ask the clerk.

If you would like to know more about Ozu Washi's historical museum and hands-on classroom, please check out the site. There are clerks who are fluent in English, so it is safe for foreigners!

　It is known that at the beginning of Yukio Mishima's novel "Kyoko no Ie", there is a description of Kachidokibashi and its surroundings, but it is stated in the March 10, 1958 (Monday) part of "Naked Body and Costume" about coverage of Kachidokibashi and its surroundings.

＞Every day, I think I'll write a long book "Kyoko's House", but I'm scared and I can't write it out. When it comes to 1,000 pieces, there is nothing to explore the brain. I want to use the scenery around Harumi-cho in front of Tsukishima for prologue, so I take a taxi and go there. It's just three p.m., and it's time to climb Kachidokibashi. This is used, with intuition, going down the car and taking notes on the way up the bridge. When I finally went to Harumi-cho, I came here to take notes to write a few years ago, "Happiness Go Deho" (a completely failed newspaper novel, but I don't think it's a bad work myself). Compared to, I'm surprised at the completely changed scenery. I don't have much interest in taking notes. It also goes to the tip of Shinonome on the other side of Harumi Wharf. A few men were talking to the sea. When it comes to smuggling consultation, the voice is high, the sea is bright, not. （28－28）

　Yukio Mishima's novel "Kyoko no Ie" was published in 1958 (1958) in the first issue of the magazine "Voice" until Chapters 1 and 2, followed by Shinchosha in 1959 (1959) the following year. Two books, "Part 1" and "Part 2" were published at the same time. The description is as follows.

＞From a distance, you can see that cars are crowded around Kachidokibashi. I wonder if it was an accident, the collection said. However, I realized that it was time for the opening and closing bridge to rise. Shunkichi beat his tongue. He said, "Let's give up or get rid of the landfill. However, Natsuo and Kyoko wanted to see the bridge that they had never seen before, so they stopped the car in front of Kanari and went to see it all across the railway bridge. Shunkichi and the harvest have a somewhat uninterested face.

　The central part is a steel plate. Only that part opens and closes. Before and after that, the staff stood with a red flag, and a parked car was crowded. He was blocked by the chain of Ichijo at the end of the sidewalk. There were a considerable number of spectators, but when the traffic was blocked, there were listeners and on-sites who were selling oil.

　And the iron plate on the train track was black, shy, without putting anything on it. And a man saw it from both sides.

　In the meantime, the center of the steel plate began to swell. The part gradually raised his head and opened the cracks. The steel plate came up, and the railings of the steel on both sides, and the arches of the steel, with a dull light on the pillars, roughly up. Natsuo thought this movement was beautiful.

　When the steel plate is finally going to be perpendicular, the dents of the countless steel studs on both sides run down with thin smoke. The small shadows of countless steel studs on both sides gradually come into contact with the steel studs, and the shadows of the balustrade on both sides gradually distorted and moved. As soon as the steel plate became completely perpendicular, the shadow was also quiet. Natsuo raised his eyes and saw a gull over the pillars of the iron arch that fell down.

・・・・・・・・・・

　I've been waiting for a long time. ・・・・・

　The car crossed Kachidokibashi, passed the town of Tsukishima, and further crossed Reimeibashi. The flat wilderness was blue as far as the eye could see, and a wide grid-grained paved road. The sea breeze bumped my cheeks. Shunkichi stopped his car at the runway, which is located at the end of the U.S. military facility. A few poplars were shining in the sun on the other side of the U.S. （11－10）
