　　"There is Kazuha in the Meiji era. There is time rain in the Showa era."　The famous book "Old Mon Nihonbashi" written by Shigure Hasegawa on the buried grass of "Women's Art", which he presided over. When I read this work, which recalls the girl's age, when the rain was born in Aburamachi, Nihonbashi-dori, was dubbed "Ann Pontan", the appearance of the city around the birthplace of the early Meiji era and the people around it revived lively, I feel like I was put on a time machine. 。 Today, I walked along the traces of several stages drawn here with Iwanami Bunko in one hand.

[On the photo] It is Daidenma Honcho-dori St. Look at Midoribashi from Daimon Street. You can see the sky tree under construction.

 

Birthplace: No. 1, Nihonbashi-doriyucho

　Shigure Hasegawa was born on October 1, 1879 as the eldest daughter of Fukazo Hasegawa, a government official (lawyer) at Doyucho, Nihonbashi-ku (currently 14, Nihonbashi-Daidenmacho, Chuo-ku). Honmachi-dori, which runs through the middle of Yuyu-cho, is a main line from the Edo period heading from Nihonbashi to Asakusabashi. It is a town with many wholesalers connected to Honmachi, Otemmacho, Torigocho, Toyucho, and Toshio-cho, and the rank of the city was much higher than the parallel Kokumachi-dori (currently Edo-dori St.). Toyu-cho was on both sides of Honmachi-dori from Daimon-dori to Hamacho-Kawa Midoribashi, and his birthplace was facing a small alley near Kodemmacho, with Honmachi-dori back. This alley is called "Umaya Shindo" and handles carriages on the opposite Kodemmacho side.

There was a big freighter. The predecessor of this shop was a horse-drawn house for Temmacho prison and a sinner.

　There is a large store of glasses and glass wholesalers called Kagayoshi near the center of Yuyu-cho, and when the Constitution was issued, it became a venue for speeches in the town. The spokesman was a government official in 1879, one of the first friends who had only 12 people, and the father of Shiame, who was regarded as new wisdom at the time. Kagayoshi is the birthplace of Kayo Yamagishi, a novelist and calligrapher under the Momijimon.

　By the way, Tsuyu-cho was a first-class version of the cypress stage in the Edo period. Kiemon Tsuruya and others have a store, and Juzaburo Tsutaya also advanced from Yoshiwara Ikumamichi, and has Shunsui Tamenaga Monochi Shoshi in Toyu-cho. Tsutashige's store

And they were also working. "Old Mon Nihonbashi" does not mention anything about this area, but I imagine that the DNA of this area was inherited by the book lover Ann Pontan.

Daimaru Kimono Store
On the other side of Daimon-dori is the place where the Daimaru kimono shop was located. (currently 10, Nihonbashi Daidenmacho, Chuo-ku) It was also depicted in Hiroshige's "Hundred Views of Edo", and even after entering the Meiji era, "Nihonbashi culture and prosperity center point at that time". It was a famous kimono shop made of Odozo. On New Year's Day, the children in the neighborhood also acted.

Hara of the prison

　Immediately after the Meiji Restoration, there was a story that my father refused to give a corner of the prison free of charge. The large prison in Temmacho existed until 1875, and a temple was erected around 1882, but it seems that it was crowded with huts and monsters, probably because they tried to pay the unclean land. . My grandmother visits Kobo-sama (Daianrakuji Temple), which was built in Hara of the prison, with Ann Pontan every night.

[Left photo] Daianrakuji Temple. It was erected on the ruins of the prison.

Home of Tsukuda Island

  His father, Fukazo, secluded on the shores of Aioi Bridge on Tsukuda Island in his later years. In 1904, he separated from his husband and lived in his parents' house. 3-5, Shin-Tsukuda Nishimachi, Kyobashi-ku (currently Tsukuda 2-chome, Chuo-ku). Here, I will become a leading female writer. Aioi Bridge was a wooden bridge, and few people crossed the bridge. There was a ferry that arrived in front of the gate from the time of Eitai Bridge, and the willow of the gate was a landmark of the ferry. It seems that the time rain went to a women's language school (currently Futaba Gakuen) in Tsukiji Reservation by Tsukuda. In September 1910, Tsukuda Island was severely damaged by the tsunami, but the breakwater was safe because the pine, which my father had elaborated, firmly rooted.

[Lower photo] See Tsukuda 2-chome from Aioi Bridge. Of course, there are no pine trees on the willow and breakwaters at the gate, and there are stunning rows of cherry trees.

 　Shigure Hasegawa died on August 23, 1941. At the beginning, "There is Kazuha in the Meiji era ..." is a praise in the condolences of Eiji Yoshikawa. In addition, Yaeko Nogami is a great meritorious person who sent many female writers to the world from "Women's Art", and mourns "unexperienced people like Ougai and Soseki". At present, it is not very popular, but it seems that there are no monuments or explanation boards related to time rain in Chuo-ku. (Speaking of that, it seems that her name was not in the text of the Chuo-ku Tourism Certification.)　I don't feel very sorry.

 

　"The atmosphere of the downtown summer is that the sunset is pushed up from Okawa with the upper tide." It was a hot day, but near the evening, I felt the same cool breeze as before.

The opening ceremony is over, and the Bon Dance Festival is finally at around 6:40 pm.

 

A dance circle centered on dance teams such as the folk song Federation and the town council around the tower (Yagura) in line with the familiar Bon Odori songs such as the Tokyo Ondo, and the Chuo-ku original Ondo `` This is Edo Bon Dance '' Was made.

"This is Edo Bon Dance", some people may pull that if you see the title of the song and some English in the lyrics, only young people can dance ... However, singing singers, folk singers, and melody are still Bon Odori songs, and they are very familiar as ordinary Bon Odori songs.

As you may know, I will post the lyrics of "This is Edo Bon Dance" for your reference. (I quoted from the "Tokyo Chuo Net" site.)

 

Everyone from adults to children was familiar with Bon Odori, gestures, and as the night went on, many people filled the Bon Odori venue and gradually danced in a big whirlpool.

As the annual "Oedo Festival Bon Odori Tournament", the population of Chuo-ku is also increasing, as one of the important events in the hometown (Furusato) Chuo-ku that deepens "contact" and "bonds" It will continue to develop.

You will meet the title "Cool Road ~ Under Road Temperature Measurement ~"

　When I read it,

　The gray paint painted on the roadway of this street is called thermal insulation pavement.

　This pavement is a comfortable and cool road that reflects the heat from the sun and suppresses the rise in road temperature.

Yes, it is.

　On the left side, the illustration of Shirokuma-kun explains the comparison between the past pavement and this thermal insulation pavement.

First of all, the day

　Until now, the pavement absorbs the heat of the sun and generates heat on the road surface, and the road surface is hot.

　The heat-insulating pavement reflects the heat of the sun, making it difficult for heat to accumulate on the road surface. The road surface is cool.

Next at night,

　Until now, the road surface is hot because the heat from the day is released.

　The heat shielding pavement is comfortable even at night because heat is hard to store.

Yes, it is.

You can see the temperature display on the right side.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Current temperature is 30,7°C

Paving up to now 38,9°C

Heat-proof pavement 36,0°C

You can see the display.

You can see that the temperature on the road surface is rising compared to the outside temperature.

Today's effect is about 3 ° C, but sometimes the gap between 4 to 5 ° C can be seen.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The image above shows Kiyosubashi-dori on the side of amazake Yokocho from the front of this display board.

If you are careful, this special pavement can be seen around Higashinihombashi.

　If you ask the jurisdiction of the signboard, Chuo-ku government office road section

It is said that the heat shielding pavement itself has been carried out for a long time.

The signboard seems to be seen for the first time.

　It was a very interesting display board this summer.

 

 

 

If you walk about 30 meters from the Rotary in Higashinihombashi toward Asakusabashi, you will find a stylish coffee shop on the left.

My name is Cafe 415.

First of all, please take a look.

It seems to calm down somehow with the image of the forest.

When you enter the entrance, you will see the cute card of illustrator Mashiho Omori.

The floor was a wooden floor.

Just because it was just near noon, I ordered Mexican taco rice and sandwich plate, and so on.

There was a soup and drink at the lunchtime service.

I asked for coffee and showed me the latte art.

I'm sorry to break the shape a little because I moved it.

The lady of the staff, I was humble because there were still few repertories.

Please raise your arms and entertain you.

By the way, what is the origin of the name of the shop? When I heard that the day I decided to open the store was April 15th.

For a moment of coffee, it will soften your mind,
