Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

On May 26, the Edo Ken 1st grade "Fifth Period Association" and town walk were held.

This time, the theme is to visit Yosuke of the "Shinsenden" series written by Eisuke Ishikawa and Ningyocho in Nihonbashi, which Inakichi loved.

 

A natural course that gathers in front of Mitsukoshi Subway, starts with Hirodai Shoran, Tokiwa Bridge, Ichiishi Bridge, and Nihonbashi High Folding.

In the vicinity of choledo, free shopping time and stylishness are fun.

During the Edo period, we walked to Ningyocho through Kofune-cho, which was called "Teruricho".

Kakigara Ginza Ruins, Genji Store Ruins, and finally Kodenmacho Ingoku Ruins.

For a while, with the feeling of Takasugi Shinsaku, I visited the monument of the end of Yoshida Shoin. I immediately forgot that feeling and went to a fun launch izakaya.

 

It was about 17,000 steps, and members of the average age were worried about tomorrow's physical condition, but it was a fun town walk.

 

 

The annual "Wanpaku Sumo Chuo-ku Tournament" was held on Sunday, May 20 at [General Sports Center] in Hamacho.

 

Early in the morning, the area near Hamacho Park was crowded with participating children, their parents, and local supporters. It seemed that not only the players themselves, but also the way of getting the power of their parents seemed to be transmitted.

At the beginning of the tournament, real wrestlers came from the Arashio room of the sumo wrestling, which is the only headquarters in Chuo-ku, received explanations with demonstrations such as rules, manners, and "bidden hands", checked notes, It is a good start of the game where everyone can do radio exercises well.

 

There are individual battles divided into men and women for each grade and team battles against schools in the afternoon, and the voltage of support increases in each. Mochiro games are important, but children will learn how to act neatly and fairly, whether they win or lose, and how to care for others through the game.

Some of the players were sorry for losing their regrets and tears. I want to sympathize, but there must be "lost and know". I just hope that children will be able to grow through various experiences.

Nevertheless, the eyes of the children who fell one step after the match and went home with their families were lively. The fulfillment of what we have worked hard will be better than anything.

We prayed that the children of Chuo-ku would grow up quickly and felt that we would like to support them.

By the way, the players who won the top position in this tournament will participate in the "Tokyo Block Tournament" scheduled to be held on June 23 as representatives of Chuo-ku. Beyond that, the national convention will be held in July. I would like to support you to achieve good results. "Wanpa Sumo National Convention"

I want to develop Chuo-ku as a town where local children can grow up honestly and healthy. Because these children are valuable human resources who will support the future region ...

 

 

 
"The frost of the bridge that you step on,"　

"On the first snow and over the bridge."

These two phrases were written by the poet Matsuo Basho.

That's the phrase I wrote.

This is because the joy of Shin-ohashi Bridge was made into a phrase.　

Shinohashi was rebuilt many times after the bridge was built in Genroku 6 (1692), and was built as an iron bridge in Meiji 45 (1912).

I'm sorry.

The name "Shinohashi" was given as a bridge following the other name of Ryogoku Bridge, "Ohashi".　

It connects Hamacho in Chuo-ku and Morishita in Koto-ku, and has a total length of 170M and 24M.

On the way across the bridge　
The origin, the original bridge, Nishiki-e of Hiroshige Utagawa is a relief.
The gently flowing Sumida River matches the color of the bridge and is beautiful.
There are many people who stop their feet and write an inscription.　　　

The other name of this bridge is derived from the "help (help) bridge".

(There are many stories in the future, we will focus on "Walking in the ward, Vol. 6 Bosha Kawabata section")

 

　1923 September 1, 1923
　　Tokyo was hit by an unprecedented shaking.

＞＞＞"Many of the storehouses collapsed quickly, sand smoke was wrapped, and my eyes could not be opened. Immediately after, there was no noise and the state of silence continued. The people were anxious.

　The fire from the nearby warehouse quickly spread and rained the sparks. Although the fire was extinguished immediately, the fire from the Kanda area burned out Ningyocho.

　It seems that black water came in the river like a tsunami.

　At 8:00 pm when the fire was approaching, the Kayasha family came to Kakihamabashi and amazake Yokomachi burned more than half and was unable to move with a lot of luggage and cars.

　The Kayaya family broke the fence of Hosokawa's house, went out into the garden, but turned around the fire, and went out to Ohashi.

He desperately interrupted and sat in the middle of the bridge and spent all day and night.

　Those who were attacked by fire from both sides of the bridge rushed into the middle with death, and even the center was unbearable. It looks like a scream. They also stepped on deadly, and eventually the people beside them will not move.

　It seems that all the people at the side of the bridge were burnt down.
　The wind blowing was hot, the bridge swayed like a hammock, and the river seemed to have muddy streams. " ＜＜＜　

　Shin-ohashi Bridge was covered with iron floorboards, so it escaped disappearing. At that time, it was only one of the five Sumida River bridges.

　There is a "Shinohashi Evacuation Monument" on the right bank of Shinohashi, under the left bank just before crossing the bridge.

　It is a very large monument, and its origin is described in detail. It is noted that many people were helped and "helped" on this bridge, and the lessons learned.

　

A part of the former Shin-ohashi Bridge is located.

It is preserved in Meiji Village in Inuyama City, Aichi Prefecture.

A young woman heads to the monument

He was holding his hands deeply.

 

 

 

"Do you like rakugo?" I'm a new fan of 3 years ago. My favorite storyteller was also created, and I gradually understood the fun. Would you like to go to the shop or the place where the characters appeared in the story after listening several times? The perfect course for such people is "The World of Edo Tokyo Enjoying Masterpiece Rakugo" (Chuo Kumin College Waseda Collaborative Course). The first one is May 11, "Wealth of the inn and Ningyocho". After the lecturer explained about Bakurocho, where the inn was the stage of the story, Sugimori Shrine where the lottery was held, and the lottery performance, DVD of "Yukuya no Tomi" (recorded in 1994) played by Shincho. Watch. While listening to the morning with a good tempo, one-third is in a dream because of the synergistic effect of darkening the room and the time difference that does not yet come out is attacked by a fierce sleeper! (Lecturer, I'm sorry Mr. Shin Asa) "Sukuya no Tomi" is a well-known story in rakugo, but according to the explanation, "Originally above, Kosan moved to Tokyo with a story such as" Takatsu no Tomi ". Therefore, the place is also from Takatsu Shrine to Sugimori Shrine. "I'm performing at Yushima Tenjin in the morning." Let's go to the stage right away.

There are a lot of flags on the way to Sugimori Shrine. It was Reitaisai festival's day.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I met portable shrine. Sugimori Shrine is said to have been founded during the Heian period, and in the Edo period it was counted as one of Edo Mimori along with Kasumori and Yanagimori, and attracted the religion of people. It is also famous as a place for lottery performances that became popular in the Edo period, and often appears in period novels. Edo's lottery is the market price each minute and usually 100 first-class cars. It is said that it was often purchased jointly because it was expensive for the common people (100,000 yen per car is 25,000 yen). A monument of "Tomizuka" is built at Sugimori Shrine.

On the 5th, when the major holidays were two days left, I went to a public bath with thought.

When I was a child and when I was a student, I went to a public bath for the first time in a long time.

 

The first place I went to was "World Yu" in Ningyocho.

It has an atmosphere that blends into the surrounding houses, which is likely to be overlooked if inadvertently.

I went immediately after the store opened, but there were already about 15 customers.

There was also a watch stand, and I remembered the public bath where I was a child.

There was a picture of Mount Fuji, an old weight scale, and a small Japanese-style garden, so I missed it for the first time.

There are two baths, one is somewhat deep and cannot sit inside.

The temperature was 44 degrees and it was hot for me. After all, Edokko likes to be hot.

In the coming season, it would be nice to have a cup at amazake Yokocho after a bath and cool down.

Where shall I go next?
