One of the correspondents' reflection meeting Part 3-From the 11th Chuo-ku sightseeing test-

[Edamame] February 20, 2019 18:00

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.

Last time → /archive/2019/02/11-15.html

Two times before → /archive/2019/02/11-14.html

And continue to do so.

From the "11th Chuo-ku Tourism Certification" conducted on February 3 (Sun)

I would like to take up the problem you care about.

 
Q26 Near the north entrance of Tsukiji's National Cancer Center is related to the Navy.

There are two monuments lined up.

One is the stone monument of "Navy Military Medical School Ruins", but the name of the other monument is

Which of the following is it?

A. The birthplace of the Navy. The ruins of the warship training center U. Monument of Naval Accounting School The site of the Naval Army Dormitory
 

≪An excuse for Edamame≫

Actually ... When I was studying to become a correspondent (end of 2016)

It seems that the area near the north entrance of the National Cancer Center was under construction.

I couldn't see the two monuments here ...

And at that time, I put azuki (one and a half years old at that time)

Because I was traveling around the city while pushing a stroller

I don't have the courage to go into a dangerous place.

※Another one of my tsukkomi※

I should have seen exactly where there is other than the right choice.

It must have been done by the erasing method!
 

・・Yeah. Reflection.

But this is "Go to Tsukiji again!"

Let's go, thinking that it is God's word.

 

A. The birthplace of the Navy

・・While saying, this is the only one in the past image.

The birthplace of the Navy was the so-called Tsukiji "in-place market".

Currently, the market is being demolished and entry is prohibited.

DSC_2450-1.jpg

That's why I miss you (?) It's an image.

In the precincts of "Mizu Shrine" located in the market

DSC_2451-1.jpg

There was a monument written in large letters "Hagiyama".

This place was originally the lower house of Sadanobu Matsudaira.

In the Meiji era, the Ministry of Naval was placed here.

The garden "Yuonen" (frequently!) In artificial hill

The name of "Hagiyama" is derived from the establishment of the "Navy Sir Flag".

・・・ Obviously, it's not near the "North Entrance of Cancer Center".

 

B. The ruins of the warship training center

There are no monuments left here.

There is a signboard of the Chuo-ku Board of Education.

DSC_5164-1.jpg

In 1857, the Shogunate aimed at flagship books and family members in the Kobusho in Tsukiji.

Founded the Warship Professor's Office.

Later, it was renamed "Warship Training Center".

It's also known that Kaishu Katsu was the president.

Here's the place.

Warship training center jpg

It is a sidewalk along Harumi-dori St., just off the intersection of Tsukiji 6-chome.

That's why this seems to be different.

By the way ... "The" warship training center "is in the middle of such land? ?』 So

Some of you may think about it.

Around the end of the Tokugawa period, reclaiming the Tsukishima and Kachidoki areas, which are opposite banks across Kachidokibashi, has not begun.

The sea was spreading in front of Tsukiji's eyes.

So there was no wonder to "manipulate" a "warship".
 

C. Monument of Naval Accounting School

B. From the information board of the "Warship Training Center Ruins"

Let's walk straight towards Kachidokibashi.

DSC_5166-1.jpg

At the base of Kachidokibashi is this "Navy Accounting School Monument".

It began in 1874 when the Naval Accounting School Building was established on Shiba.

It was relocated to the former site of Yuonen in 1888.

It became the name of the Navy Accounting School in 1907 and relocated to a corner of Tsukiji in 1932.

Then, in September 1945, with the dismantling of the Navy after the war, the history of 70 years ended.

However, due to the development of human resources who are well-versed in accounting.

It seems that many people who were active even after the war have been produced.

By the way, the "Kachidokibashi Museum" is located next to it.

(Closed on Monday, Wednesday and Sunday.)

Kachidokibashi has a structure that can be opened and closed.

It was made by renovating a substations made for opening and closing.

You can see materials and models related to the bridge.

 

D. The site of the Naval Army Dormitory

That's why "E. is correct by erasing method!" ・It's not.

Let's go to see the "North Entrance of Cancer Center" properly.

It's just on the other side of Shin-ohashi-dori St., so it's a bit far away.

I saw it after a long time ...

DSC_5155-1.jpg

The construction was over and it was paved beautifully!

And what you are looking for is on the right side of the sidewalk.

DSC_5153-1.jpg

The naval dormitory toes and the naval medicine school toes are two.

It was in the planting side by side.

The name of the Navy Dormitory was born in 1870 (1870).

The predecessor is A. The "warship training center" was an option.

In 1876 (1876), it was further renamed the Naval Academy.

It was here until 1888 (1888), when it moved to Etajima, near the guardian office of Kure, Hiroshima.

In addition, the site seems to have been used as "Navy University School".

And the road that Emperor Meiji had taken to go to this naval school

It is "Miyuki-dori" that still retains its name in Ginza today.

Previously, a wonderful senior correspondent "Jimini ☆ Cricket" was a wonderful senior correspondent.

There are some articles that have been posted, so please refer to them as well.

/archive/2017/04/post-4240.html

I've read this article before.

After all, it was a problem that I had to solve. It's a great reflection.

 

Walking around the city of Tsukiji, which has many historical sites related to the Navy.

Of course, besides that

DSC_5152-1.jpg

It is Tsukiji Honganji Temple

DSC_5161-1.jpg

Even though it was a weekday afternoon, it was still very busy.

There are a lot of things to see.

By the way, as for information with children ...

There is a clean, spacious and easy-to-use multipurpose toilet (of course there is a diaper changing table).

The existence of "Tsukiji Fish Bank" is very helpful.

Even small children can go out with peace of mind.

Please come and visit us.

 

 

Visit Tamino Shrine in Settsu Country

[wienerhorn] February 20, 2019 12:00

Tamino Shrine Torii. jpg

Tsukuda Island was built by fishermen invited Ieyasu Tokugawa to Edo from Tsukuda, Osaka. After that, Tsukuda Island also contributed to the construction of Tsukiji Honganji after the Great Fire of the Meiryaku era (1657), and Tsukuda Island occupies an important position in understanding the history of Chuo-ku. As one of the correspondents, I thought that I should keep my eyes on the roots of Tsukuda Island, so I went out on a business trip to Osaka and visited Tsukuda in Nishiyodogawa Ward.
From Umeda, take the Hanshin train at each station and get off at Chibune Station. Tamino Shrine is located in a corner of a quiet city. Although it is not a large precinct, when you step in, you can see that it is an important shrine loved by the area.

 

Toshogu Shrine. jpg

I heard that Ieyasu Tokugawa's Toshogu Shrine is on the grounds, but other places such as "Konpira Shrine" (Kompira-san), "Nana Shigeyuki-sha" (Ise-san), and "Inao-sha" (Inari-san) are enshrined.

  

Land related to Tsukuda fishermen. jpg

Monument to "Tsukuda fishermen related to the land" closely related to Chuo-ku. There is also an explanation board that describes the relationship with Ieyasu and the origin of Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine. There is also an explanation about the exchange between Tsukuda Elementary School in Osaka City and Tsukudajima Elementary School in Chuo City.

 

Zero meter zone. jpg

By the way, this area is located in the zero-meter area, and there was a sign next to the torii gate "-0.8m above sea level". It is located on a low-lying ground protected by the concrete dike. It was a journey that reminded us of the importance of the flood control disaster, while thinking about history.

 

 

 

Izukogen, Chuo-ku-so

[Silver Fox 007] February 20, 2019 09:00

February is in the middle of February, and the news of the flowers tells Haruchika even in the cold.

On that day, I went to Izu.

Atami cherry blossoms and Kawazu cherry blossoms will delight your eyes from the train window. I'm looking for a walk around the castle town. I think some reporters have watched on TV a scene where they feared a suspension bridge over a cliff. I should have learned the term of geology in high school, but I can only understand it by looking at the real thing, so I can see it for the first time.

The Hashidate Suspension Bridge is a 25-minute walk from Izukyu Izu Kogen Station, and you can walk along the Tajima River, making it easy to understand. The river became a waterfall on the island and poured into the sea ... but the amount of water was small and it was not a waterfall. The promenade along the coast is well maintained, and the explanation board is clean and easy to read. For pre-learning, the Ito Tourism Association website http://itospa.com/nature_park/np_zyogasaki/ was useful.

 

Well, it's Izu Kogenso, Chuo-ku. You can use the free shuttle bus from Izukyu Izu Kogen Station. Behind the sea, pass through the row of cherry blossom trees with hard buds, and climb up while watching the garden of the villa where plums and Kawazu cherry blossoms bloom, and you will arrive at a calm building.For blog 01, Izu Kogenso, Chuo-ku. JPG

 

Women will be happy to choose a yukata (there is also a child's size) and a chick decoration (stage decoration and hanging chick) that feels the season. Of course, the smiling staff is the best!

For blog 04, Izu Kogenso, Chuo-ku. JPGFor blog 03 Izu Kogenso, Chuo-ku. JPG

The application for use is from the website of Chuo-ku https://www.city.chuo.lg.jp/sisetugaido/hoyou/izukogenso/izukogensonogoannai.html, which can be used by the general public who is not resident or working in the city.

Please see http://www.izukyucom.co.jp/chuoku/ for details on fees and facilities.

This time I came back without staying, but the location of Izu Highland-so, Ito City, is full of highlights. It is said that Anjin Miura, a British man who had a mansion in Chuo-ku, built a sailing ship at the order of Ieyasu Tokugawa at the mouth of the Matsukawa near Izukyu Ito Station, and an Anjin Festival will be held in August.

Why don't you visit the history of plate tectonic, people and culture based in Izu Highlandsso?

 

In addition, about photography in hall and publication of article, we had consent of staff of Izu Kogenso in Chuo-ku.

 

 

The chemical reaction of the rakugo world! What is the new genre "Taku Rakugo"?

[Hanes] February 19, 2019 18:00


Hello. I'm a new correspondent (Hanes)
The event was held on February 13 at the Kabukiza Gallery on the 5th floor of Kabukiza Tower.
I went to "Ginza Kiboritei Moeise Extra Edition-Taku Rakugo at Kabukiza Gallery-by TOKYO KOBIKI LAB."

IMG_4291.JPG

It was my first time to go to the vaudeville, but it was a fusion of anime, manga and rakugo.
It was my first time to learn about the genre of "Taku Rakugo".
I myself had equal knowledge of anime, manga, and games, and I was very worried that I could understand it, but I thought that listening to a new genre of rakugo was also a study, so I got off at Higashi-Ginza Station.

■Kabuki soba
Rakugo started at 19:00, so "We had dinner first...."I thought,"
The famous shop "Kabuki Soba" that I learned from flowing on my friend's Instagram feed!
In this blog, a senior correspondent Tom Shimomachi introduced me before.
It's just behind the Kabukiza Theater, so it's very convenient when you want to finish your meal nearby.

IMG_4284.JPG

This is a meal ticket system, and I ordered "Mori Kakiage (470 yen)".
(The famous specialty is "Zaru Kakiage (490 yen).")
It took about 20 seconds to give the meal ticket to the shop, select a seat, walk slowly, and take off the coat.
Maybe the timing was good, I came out before I sat down.
If such a skill is so good, Kabuki actors before the actual performance will be able to easily eat it.

Thumbnail image of DSC_3679.JPG

Soba is the amount that women can eat without difficulty, and it is also possible to have a large amount of 70 yen!
It's unusual to serve tempura, and it's unique to Kabuki soba.
Tempura mainly contains carrots, onions, and sweet potatoes.
I enjoyed the crispy texture as if it was just fried.
The last order will be at 18:15, so please be careful when using at night.

■Rooftop garden
Even after dinner, I still had some time before the opening.
I went to the rooftop garden of Kabukiza (5th floor, free of charge)
Although it is not clear from the ground, it is a just right place to relax with monuments, lanterns, cherry blossoms, chairs, etc.

IMG_4304.JPG

From the Goemon stairs on the right side of the garden, you can see the tiled roof of Kabukiza up close.

IMG_4297.JPG
(The destination down the stairs is "Fourth Floor Corridor-Kabukiza of Memories.")

Many of you may know that phoenix can be seen everywhere in the Kabukiza Theater, but there are many people who know it.
Have you ever heard of the "inverted phoenix" that makes you happy when you find it?

IMG_4295.JPG
(This is an ordinary phoenix (laughs))

If you are worried, please refer to the article of Senior Correspondents, Satsuki's Koi Blower and Kyoba Peony.

I've been to this garden only during the daytime, but I've never been there.
At night, the moon can be seen without being blocked by other buildings.
I was able to enjoy it at night.

IMG_4299.JPG

■Kabukiza Gallery
After opening, we met several correspondents and proceeded to the back of the gallery while talking....
Because it's just a gallery, you can not only learn about Kabuki, but also learn about Kabuki.
Looking at the costumes used in Kabuki, props (such as butterflies attached to the tip of the difference), musical instruments, etc., I was able to touch some parts!
Some horses can't be crushed even if adults ride.
It is a very interesting spot where you can enjoy while experiencing black robes, guardianship, and as if you were a Kabuki actor.

■Ginza Kiboritei Moese Extra Edition-Taku Rakugo at Kabukiza Gallery-by TOKYO KOBIKI LAB.
There are three things I thought of as a beginner when I entered the vaudeville.
That means that the Koza is higher than expected, the Koza and the audience seats are closer than expected, and the stage is more colorful than expected (probably limited time).

On this stage, cypress boards and lifting curtains that were actually used in the previous Kabukiza are used.
The Kabukiza Gallery is also available for those who have never seen Kabuki or overseas.
It was made for the purpose of making it easy to touch Kabuki.
These traditional things are also incorporated, so it is a spot that Kabuki fans should visit.

Although the preface has become longer, this time, Yoshiyoshi Shunfutei, who also appears in Nico Nico Doga, appears.
We show off rakugo that includes everything from the shallow to very maniac elements.
There was a lot of laughter in the audience!
I will omit the details because it will be spoiled, but according to the commentary, one seat may contain more than 5 types of anime and manga elements, etc.
A characteristic or well-known line
If you know, the tension goes up saying, "Oh, I understand."

On the other hand, in the case of a person who is not related to anime or manga like me, I am
Although it doesn't fit in lines and character names, you can enjoy the story itself enough.
The last show, "If the retirement of Kotobuki-no-shi is a taku....The setting is ""
"When the classical rakugo Kotobuki is fused with modern culture, it will evolve to this extent and have swelling!"
Rather, I thought it was a chemical reaction in the rakugo world because it was a composition that impressed me.
And in order to get younger generations interested in rakugo, we need to make them more interested in rakugo.
I thought there might be such an idea.

In addition, the person who appeared during the recoloration of Shunfutei Yoshiyoshi has a background so that he could not find something in common with traditional performing arts.
It was impressive that he had successfully linked episodes about his career to laughter.

In addition to rakugo, there is also an interesting talk show featuring popular voice actor Kentaro Tone.
You can listen to the work of voice actors and stories that were synchronized with a famous haiku actor at university.
It was a very valuable experience as I studied.
Taking advantage of this, Kabuki, Rakugo, Noh, puppet ballad drama, etc.
I would like to touch on the traditional performing arts that represent Japan!
