Ukiyo-e (Part 4) that decorates shutters in the Nihonbashi area

[Yurikamome] June 25, 2011 08:30

 I walked a lot in search of the ukiyo-e picture drawn on the shutters of the Nihonbashi district.

Walking along a road that you didn't know about, watching beautifully blooming flowers ... finding a small park ... I had a good time.

I would like to end with this "Part 4", but only the tofu shop "Futaba" was unable to take pictures because Japanese shop curtain was on the picture at any time.

Today is an ukiyo-e that I couldn't see even if I visited the Kyobashi area.

      

      Nishikan Honten 1-10 Kyobashi 1-chome, Chuo-ku, Tokyo   

               Ukiyo-e "Tokaido 53rd Kyoto Sanjo Ohashi"

                 Ukiyo-e "Honchonabashinouchi Eto Nihonbashi Map" 

                  Painter Kuniyoshi Utagawa

           The upper left of the picture above is taken in detail.

When I talked to the person who was cleaning the shutter that had been up once in the table of "Hotel Kazusaya", he dropped the shutter again. 

Thank you ... thank you ...

 

The creator, Akiko Fukunaga, was a young person and worked hard in front of the shutter.

I was impressed that it was a wonderful thing, and her feelings were conveyed.

I think that many young people besides Akiko Fukunaga were involved in the production of shutters in Chuo-ku.

I strongly felt the support of young people who protect the history and culture of Edo.

Nakasu History Discovery Toto Shokudo Meike Soroku is located at the Local Tenmonkan.

[Silver] June 12, 2011 11:23

 Today, we took a walk from TCAT in Hakozaki to Kiyosubashi. Ayame could not be found, but in Nakasu, I found Kotohira-gu Shrine. 

CIMG8652.jpg

There is a monument under the torii gate.

 Nakasu reclaimed the floats of the Sumida River in the Edo period in the early Meiji era, and Funatama and Kotohira Shrine are enshrined here, and it is widely worshiped as a god of industrial promotion. However, unfortunately, he returned to Karasuari due to the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, and was unable to reach the momentum of reconstruction. Kanjiro Yuasa's dream pillow became an opportunity, consulted with each other, and worshiped the spirit of Shikoku Kotohira-gu Shrine. lucky day and built a temple in guardian angel, 195 years.

 In the first place, the meaning of Nakasu is "a place where earth and sand accumulates in the river and looks like an island." The history was reclaimed by Kanma Magome in 1771 (1771), and is connected to Hamacho. In 1772 (1773), Nakasu Shinchi was completed, and around 1775 it became a entertainment district lined with restaurants and other places. The Sumida River has been floodedtyphoon many times in sediment from upstream. The luxury era of the Tanuma era. In 1789 (1789), To Nakasu, which was demolished and reed, was promoted by Sadanobu Matsudaira, promoted by the reform of Kansei. 

 

From 1856 (1856) to 1858 (1858), the first ukiyo-e artist Hiroshige Utagawa painted "Mitsumata Wakarefuji no Fuchi", but this picture is Nakasu with reeds.

In the first year of the Meiji era (1868), as described above, Kotohira Shrine was enshrined, returned to Karasuari in the Great Kanto Earthquake on September 1, 1923, and then rebuilt in 1954 (1854). Right.

At this time, the names of the people who donated were Ishigaki of Kotohira Shrine? ? ? If you look at it,

The torii gate is Shinsaku Nitta in 1954. On Ishigaki, there are the names of Shigejiro Kuraya and many other restaurants and related parties. There are many names I've heard, and you can also study the history of the Nihonbashi area. Some of them were restaurants with names listed in the existing Guinness Book. In 1956, "Toto Shokutsu Meike Soroku" was issued, and as of June 19, today, "Kuradashi Kono!" Is being held at Chuo Ward Folk Tenmonkan. You can see the names of famous restaurants at the time. Well, how many do you know? http://www.chuo-museum.jp/webmuseum/search_result_list.do?stype=0&startNo=1&inputkeyword=%E6%9D%B1%E9%83%BD%E9%A3%9F%E9%80%9A%E5%90%8D%E5%AE%B6%E5%8F%8C%E5%85%AD&classes=history&classes=archeology
