On April 28, the Nikkei Shimbun, page 26, describes the fact that Matsuo Basho lived in Nihonbashi.

　Basho descended from Iga Ueno to Edo in 1672 (Kanbun 12) to become a haiku master. In the winter of 1680 (Yonho 8), he retired by connecting an hermitage to Fukagawa, which was still a suburban area, but it is thought that he lived around Nihonbashi until he moved to this later hermitage called "Bashoan". I am.

　According to the recently deciphered ancient document, Basho's address at that time was "Odawaramachi Taro Ozawabei", Odawaramachi was now 1-chome Nihonbashi Muromachi, and at that time it was a busy place near the fish market.

According to subsequent research, it seems that it is a common theory that Basho had been in Odawara-cho since around 1677 (Yonho 5).

Near the opposite side of Chuo-dori from Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi, Nihonbashi Funasa, a long-established Tsukudani store located in Muromachi Koji, known as "Hakuya Matsuo Momo Aojuku Spring" stone monument, which is thought to have been written around this time.

 

 

　Continuing from the last time, this is the second part of Japanese sweets "Minosha".

・Minosha was founded in 1947, when the post-war reconstruction was not obscured, and his mother was about seven years old. At that time, the Hamacho River was still flowing, but the north side of Ogawa Bridge, which was built next to Minosha, was reclaimed in 1949 as a reconstruction work for the war.

　The south side has been flowing even after Toei Line 1 (currently Toei Asakusa Line) passes below (1963), and it is said that it was reclaimed around 1972 (see the photo below) .

・I was convinced to hear the origin of the name "Konza-dori" that remains in Hamacho, which I have always questioned. Since it has been connected to the place where Koza was located (currently the Bank of Japan), it seems that the road from Ryogokubashi through Hamacho to Koza was called Koza-dori. It is also interesting that the nickname of "Konza-dori" remains in Hamacho, quite far from the location of Koza (currently, Koza-dori is 1-12 Nihonbashi-Hamacho-2-11 Nihonbashi-Hamacho).

　In addition, although it is a small area, "Hamacho 2-chome Kanaza Town Association" remains. (Applicable districts: 2-10-13, Nihonbashihama-cho, 32-41, 60-62)

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

・The NTT Building, located opposite Minosha, was once home to the five-story "Pro Wrestling Center" (1955: then Nihonbashi Naniwacho) in Rikidoyama. It seems that he went to the Giant Baba here.

・Rikidoyama longed for was the support chairman Shin Nitta (President of Nitta Construction), who contributed to the establishment of the Japan Professional Wrestling Association. President Nitta is also the central figure of the members who revived Meijiza after the end of the war. Currently, his daughter is doing the counter bar "Hamacho Nitta" just behind Meijiza.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

・After the war, Ningyocho-dori was said to have flourished as a modern shopping street with arcades on both sides along with Monzennakacho-dori in Fukagawa (arcade was removed in 1985).

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

・It seems that the vaudeville "Ningyocho Suehiro" in Ningyocho often went to see it with her husband (second generation master). It seems that Goro Yanagi Yagane and Imasuke 5th generation Kokintei liked it. Ningyocho-dori current Yomiuri Shimbun (next to "Ubukeya"). Closed in 1970.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

・In the past, the fireworks of the Sumida River seemed to be clearly visible from the front of Koza Street. It seems that he sometimes took money at the place where the current panda studio Hamacho (former Hamacho studio) is located. Also, at the Hisamatsu Police Station, he showed me on the roof of the building.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

・Minosha is located in Nihonbashitomizawacho, but I heard about the origin of the town name of Tomizawa-cho. Tobi Sawacho ⇒ Tomizawa-cho: In the Edo period, there was a person named Tobizawa Jinnai, the former tighter of a used clothes shop who lived in this area, so it came to be called `` Tobi Sawacho '', and later the character was changed to `` Tomisawacho '' That is.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

・Minosha seems to be close to Meijiza, so many entertainers come to buy Japanese sweets every time there is a stage, so I heard the names of Chikei Awashima and Itsumi Osawa. In addition, the president of a nearby Japanese confectionery shop "Ginza Akebono" also said that he would often visit the store.

～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～～

　In addition, he told me various surprises, such as the secrets of the birth of Hashizo Okawa (second generation). Also, I would like to hear a fun story in the near future.

　Well, do you want to buy Kashiwa mochi today and go home?

I think everyone knows the Higashiboriru River, but it seems that it was originally the mouth of the Shakujii River.

"The former Shakujii estuary, which lost the flow from the upstream, will play a central role in boating as a riverbank connecting to the Nihonbashi River, once again maintaining Isecho moat (Nishiborirugawa) and Horiecho Iribori (Higashiborirugawa). It will be. " "From Chuo Ward Kyobashi Library Local Room Newsletter No. 156"

I thought it was a moat that had been drilled from the Nihonbashi River as a cargo listing in Edo.

This time, I'm planning to walk along the ruins of Higashibori Tsurukawa.

This information board is the information board at the site of Nishibori Rugawa at 1-chome Kobunamachi. The Higashiboriru River is the river on the right of the information board. There were three bridges on the Higashiboriru River, from the Nihonbashi River to Shisha Bridge, Father Bridge, and Manbashi. Unfortunately, it was reclaimed in 1949, and now you cannot see these bridges. Speaking of Shishibashi, it is said that it came to be called Shishibashi because I wondered whether to go to Yukaku or the theater in the early Edo period. The photo below is a photo of Shizuka Bridge in the early Taisho era.

<Photo: Kyobashi Library, Chuo Ward>

There was still a sluice gate at the connection point of the Nihonbashi River. This part is Koamicho Children's Amusement Park, and there is a public toilet in this park, but this area is the place where the thought bridge was located. The bend condition of the alley in the photo on the right matches the bending condition of the Higashiboriru River on the map above.

　

In the building facing this alley, you can still see "warehouse architecture" arranged in a modern style.

When the Higashiboriru River used to be, there would have been many warehouses near this area.

Personally, the "Horidome" exhibition of "Edo Famous Zoukai" came to my mind.

And it's near my father. The Higashiboriru River stretched from the front of the photo to the direction of the red light at the intersection. And this photo is also a photo of Father's Bridge in the early Taisho era. Of course, you can only see a two-story building.

"-Jinemon Shoji Jinemon, Jinemon, was called to the town of magistrate's office, and everyone in the rows, including Sadamori Honda, were all called their fathers and fathers, so people also heard and called them their fathers, and in November 1628, when Jinemon's initiative built a bridge that crossed Yoshiwara from the Edo area to Yoshiwara, he called him. "

The name of the bridge was related to Motoyoshihara, both Shishi Bridge and Father Bridge. Even today, people can be seen as Nihonbashi in Chuo-ku, but it would have been a bridge where many people came and went in the early Edo period.

<Photo: Kyobashi Library, Chuo Ward>

Then, going straight at the intersection of the red light leads to Horidome Children's Park.

It is said that the river width of the Higashiboriru River was almost the same as this park.

At present, it seems that an emergency water tank for disaster countermeasures is buried underground in this park. And at the end of the park is the Nihonbashi Health Center. The Nihonbashi Health Center was built on the ruins of the Higashiboriru River, but a part of the building was piloti, and it was structured as if it were a river flow. In addition, there were three tile mural paintings on the wall of Piloti.

I thought this was probably the thought bridge, father bridge, and Manbashi in Higashiborirugawa, so I searched at the library or called the Nihonbashi Health Center to visit, but I didn't know what was clear after all. did. (Thank you to the staff of Nihonbashi Health Center for various research during your work.)

I think it's probably a mural from Nihonbashi this past and present. If you know the details, I would appreciate it if you could give me a professor.

And there is a hotel called Super Hotel next to the Nihonbashi Health Center. At the entrance of the hotel, there was a part of the pierced stone masonry found during the construction of the hotel. It's my personal opinion, but I really felt that I wanted a bigger sign to be a little more prominent. If you walk normally, there will be no one to notice. The area in front of this hotel and Nihonbashi Health Center is where Manbashi was located. And it will be "Horidome" in front of the Nihonbashi Fire Station Horidome Station. Of course, the address will be Nihonbashi Horidomecho, Chuo-ku.

From Koami Children's Amusement Park to the Nihonbashi Fire Station Horidome Branch is the site of the Higashiboridome River.

Although it was a short distance in a flash, it was a town walk that made me feel that there was definitely a river there at the site of the former Higashiboriru River.

 

 

The main festival, once every three years, "Gojinza 1178 Gunshu Inari Shrine Reitaisai festival", will finally be held on May 2nd. A mikoshi finally showed up in Kariya, where construction began in April.

♪　There is a gunpowder in Edo Minato

This is the Minato 1-2-chome Town Association "Miyamoto Dai Mikoshi" displayed at Gunsu Children's Park. Made by Shukei Asako Gyotoku in 1936, the pedestal dimensions are three inches (about 1m), a total roof type, and a white wooden structure. It is one of the largest towns in portable shrine, and is known as portable shrine, the best town in Japan for both dignity and tradition. The crest place is commonly known as "gun horn". On the roof, a phoenix stretches its chest and spreads its wings greatly.

This is portable shrine, the town of Minato Sanchome Town Association, which is displayed at Minatomachi Daini Children's Amusement Park. This is also a magnificent phoenix on the roof. In addition to Minato, shrine parishioner Shintomicho, Akashicho, Irifune 1-chome, 2-chome, 3-chome, Shinkawa 2-chome Koshi 1-chome, Ginza 1-chome east, 2-chome east, 3-chome east, 4-chome east, 5-chome east, 6-chome east, 7-chome east and west, 8-chome east also worship with mikoshi.

♪　The essence of the festival is thanks.

Tepposhu Inari Shrine was founded in the early Heian period. It was listed as one of the 14 Edo ancient shrine companies, and was known to all over the country, saying, "Edo Minato has a gunshot." In addition to being the god of the land, he also gathers the religions of sailors and protects the prosperity of the land and the safety of voyage. The day of the Imperial Palace was April 15, 1177 years ago, and the Reitaisai festival was held on that day for many years, but in the first year of the Meiji era, it changed to a new calendar on May 4, and it seems to be today .

This year, the summer of Chuo-ku and Tokyo will begin from the gunpowder Inari Shrine Reitaisai festival!
