Speaking of Kamono Mabuchi, along with Motoori Norinaga, Atsutane Hirata and Azumamaro Kadano, it is still regarded as one of the four major national studies. The inscription of Kamono Mabuchi hangs on the wall of Nihonbashihisamatsucho on Kiyosubashi Street.

Kamono Mabuchi is nowHamamatsu-shiAt the age of 37, he entered Azumamaro Kadano in Fushimi, Kyoto.

After the death of Shiharuman, at the age of 41 at Mabuchi, he descended to Edo and was collected by Munetake Tayasu (the second son of Yatsushiro Shogun Yoshimune) for Japanese studies, and his residence was given to Tayasumon.

In 1764, at the age of 68, Mabuchi moved his residence to Nihonbashihamacho, and he himself called this new house "Prefectural residence" (Agata I). "Prefectural residence" means "country residence", and let's do it because both houses and gardens were made in a rural style.

According to the inscription, the location of "Prefectural residence" is about 100 meters northeast of this point, so I guess it is probably near the red bus in the photo (currently Nihonbashihamacho 1-chome).

In Hamacho's "Prefectural residence", we often hold "Tsukimi no Utakai", and the song at that time is written in the inscription. .

As you say, "Slow down Hara, where the dew went down," at that time, this area was a field where you could hear the sound of insects, and I think it was a windy countryside that you could not imagine today.

In the life of 1769 and 73 years of Mabuchi, I personally imagine that it was the land I loved most as a "prefectural residence" despite being in this area for only six years.

"Yonajo Fukina Yokokushi" is a popular performance of Kabuki, commonly known as "Otomi Yosaburo" and "Kirire Yozo". Recently, Kabukiza Sayonara performed last January, "Yosaburo / Tomi" Many people have seen it performed at "Somegoro / Fukusuke". This kyogen was based on the true story of Izaburo Yoshimura, the fourth generation of Nagauta, based on a lecture by Bunsha Ichiryusai, and was adapted to Kabuki Kyogen by Joko Segawa. The premiere is a feature-length feature of 9 acts and 30 places in 1853 (Edo Nakamuraza, 8th Danjuro, 5th Kikugoro), but now the second act `` Kisarazu Hamabemisome '' fourth act `` Genji store concubine house '' Most of the performances are performed.

The stage of the fourth act of "Genji Store", which began with a well-known line of "Goshinzo, Ouchigi, wealth, no Saotomi, it's been a long time" was the stage of this "Genji Store" . At that time, Genji's store was famous as a concubine residential area in Edo, and with that, "Genji" was replaced by "Genji". → It was replaced with "Genji" and moved to Kamakura to make it "Genji store".

The Genji store is near the current Ningyocho 3-chome intersection, and there is a historical monument in front of the drugstore next to the Mitsubishi UFJ Bank at the intersection. According to the explanation board set up under the name of the Chuo-ku Board of Education

"In the early Edo period, this area around Shinwa Izumicho was called "Genji-ten" because there was a worship house of Genya Okamoto, a doctor of the Shogunate. According to the Kanpo gu ticket map, the worship house is "60 Omotekyoma back, 25 Kyoma, 1,500 tsubo". It is reported that descendants lived here for nine generations after that, and repatriated the land during the Meiji Restoration. "Omitted."

As you know, "stores" are rented houses. Genji, who became famous for treating the pox of Iemitsu and became famous, was a worship house (wide! I built a rented house in a rented house and rented it to the common people, so "Genji Store (Genji's rented house)"

After that, it seems to have become a common name for the whole area. Behind the Mitsubishi UFI Bank, "Tachibana Inari Shrine" (a gift from the Shogun family and took the name of Tachibana, the family crest of the Okamoto family. It is said that it is worshiped as a god of fire protection), there is the site of the former Suehirotei, and the three-star Michelin "Genji store Hamada family" is also nearby. It is a narrow area one block from the intersection, but why don't you go back a little and play in the world of Kabuki? The wealth of bathing with a red bran bag with a red bran bag and a snake's eye umbrella may appear in the background of "Smart Black Fence, Overlooking pine".

By the way, "virginan fukina Yokokushi" (Otogo no Mikina no Yokogushi) commonly known as "Kiri-Otomi" is a rewritten Kyogen (parody) written by Avenge Ami to Mizedanosuke, and his wealth is in love with Yosaburo (34 places in Yosaburo, 75 hands in wealth), and "I'm sorry for a long time. Recently, in May 2015, the Progress Theater performed at the National Theater. I've missed this. I'm sorry!
