Yoshida Shoin 10.27 Death in Temmacho

[Yotaro] October 28, 2011 08:30

 The body is decayed in Nobe of Musashi, and the Yamato soul 21 times Takeshi (Yoshida Shoin)

 

IMG_0261.JPG It was near noon on October 27, 1859, that Yoshida Shoin (1830-1859), a revolutionary thinker of the late Tokugawa shogunate who had trained many rebels, was executed at the Temmacho prison (now Nihonbashikodenmacho 3-5).

 

 In May of this year, Hagino Noyamagoku was sent to Edo by the order, and on July 9, he was called at the Shogunate Rating Office and entered Temmacho. Suspirations such as the relationship with Umeda Unhama will be cleared, but they will be guilty of death because they will open a measure for victory during the old and middle age. The slashed was Asaemon Yamada (Yoshitoshi Seventh), and he said that the end of Shoin was dignified and wonderful. The remains of Shoin are buried from KozukaharaIMG_0517.JPG to Wakabayashi-mura, Ebara-gun (currently Wakabayashi, Setagaya-ku) by gatekeepers. This was the land of Mori family, and in 1882, Shoin Shrine was founded on the grave. In 1907, Shoin Shrine was founded in Hagi, but both enshrined deity and Yoshida Shoin (Torajiro Yoshida Norikata Fujiwara) and the annual festival is October 27.

 

 The Temmacho Shimogoku in Shoin was the second time since the attempted Shimoda smuggling incident (1854), but as in the first time, it seems that he was treated quite well thanks to his friend and gatekeeper. The prisoner Yoshigoro Numazaki and the prison graduate Kinroku, paid tribute to Shoin and helped. A book of the will, "Remorse Record", which begins with the resignation written at the beginning, is entrusted to Numazaki and is still present at Hagi Shoin Shrine.

 

 The Temmacho prison was abolished in 1875, but the site was no one who lived as a devastating land, and there is a story in "Old Mon Nihonbashi" that Shigure Hasegawa's father refused to give itIMG_0259.JPG for free.) Temples, parks and schools are available. Currently, it is a temple such as Daianrakuji Temple, Jisshi Park, and Jushi Square. A monument engraving the resignation of Shoin is on the northeast side of Jisshi Park. At the ruins of the execution site in the southeast corner of the prison mansion, you can see the found amount of the casting of the Enmei guardian of children and travelers of Daianrakuji Temple and Tesshu Yamaoka's book "Tame Prison Dead Group Recession" at the foot of Jizo.

 

 At Jisshi Park, when lunch comes, people working in the neighborhood eat lunch and spread newspapers. The old abominable place is now a bright resting place.

2011 Children's Festival (1.JPG)


The autumn of Chuo-ku is full of events.


Following the “Sports Festival” on the 10th (Mon), the “Children's Festival” was held at Hamacho Park on the 16th (Sun).


It was a sunny autumn day with the rain that had fallen until dawn. Many children who were waiting for this day gathered with their families and friends.chick

Various corners are prepared in the venue. It is a day for children to get acquainted with play and culture while choosing and experiencing their favorite events.

By the way, such a lively Hamacho Park also looks at the trees and flowers in the park, and makes you feel the coming of autumn here and there.maple 


The scent of ginkgo (ginnan) flows faintly from the ginkgo tree. There are also leaves that are slightly colored. The wind blowing from the river has clear autumn air.



The autumn of Chuo-ku has just reached the moment. Why don't you go out to a nearby park or a promenade on the riverside to feel the sense of season?foot

 

 

Tenten Festival in Ningyocho  

[Mumin] October 12, 2011 13:00

 I went to the Tenten Festival on October 10th of the autumn weather. The Tenten Festival is named after "Totsuki (October) Toka (10th)" until childbirth, which is held around October 10 every year, in hope of safe delivery. There were a lot of worshipers at the Suitengu Shrine, the god of safe birth.

 On the day of the event, there were plenty of fun events such as marching band marching, police cars, white motorcycles, firefighting aerial work vehicles, ladder cars, sales of local products, handmade games, etc. on Ningyocho Odori.

 However, the most popular is the lottery distributed to the first 500 people, and I couldn't get it because I lined up a few tens of minutes before the start time of distribution.

 Instead, it's delicious  I was satisfied because I was able to buy salted grilled chicken and sweetfish.
