The Suitengu Shrine will finally be completed in Shin shrine hall on April 8 (2-4-1, Nihonbashi, Chuo-ku).

 

I would have already seen the new shrine hall shining golden over the fence if I lived near you.

 

Since the Edo period, Suitengu has gained a deep religion from the people as a god of safe birth and child-raising, and will celebrate the 200th anniversary of Edo Transition in 2018.

 

The police box attached is completed in advance and has an atmosphere, and there are many cherry trees on the street in front of Suitengu Shrine (I think every year, but it remains because it is cherry blossoms) Please come to Shin shrine hall and to Suitengu Ningyocho!

 

 

And what I think these days...

There are buildings and shops that will disappear if new buildings and facilities are built, such as redevelopment of the Nihonbashi area.

It continued that the store of memories was gone.

I can't go after it's gone.

 

There! Please come to the temporary shrine (2-30-3 Nihonbashihamacho, Chuo-ku), which was transferred to Hamacho in March 2013.

 

Therefore, the photo shows not the current figure near completion, but a valuable figure under construction around November last year.

 

※I couldn't post the photos well. I will post it at a later date. I'm sorry.

 

 

On Sunday, March 27, 2016 a cherry blossom festival was held at Hamacho Ryokudo (around Benkei statue) in Yokocho, amazake.

・

・

・

The cherry blossoms were still lonely, but the bustling flowers were in full bloom.

・

・

It's amazake that was distributed free of charge!

It was excellent because everyone could drink it without alcohol.

amazake seems to contain enough nutrients to be called infusions to drink.

・

It seems that Fukuhiki, a masterpiece of each store, was also being carried out, and a long line was formed.

 

 

Do you know where "Kobunacho Yakumo Shrine" is located in Nihonbashikobunacho?

The festival called Tenno Festival is held in Kofune-cho, but the shrine is actually located in Kanda Myojin.

In Kofune-cho (Horidome Children's Park), Kariya is built only during the Tenno Festival, and the carrying of miniature shrines is held once every four years in principle.
 

The above photo shows Kobunamachi Yakumo Shrine in Kanda Myojin.

 

This is the water tub of Yakumo Shrine.
The votives are "Enshuya Shinbei" and 10 others who handled salted appetizers and dried foods in the Nihonbashi Fish Market area.

At the beginning of Kobunacho Yakumo Shrine, Miyamoto was involved in Kodemmacho, and then fish wholesalers, and is now revered by people in Kobunacho.

 

Kofunecho Yakumo Shrine is the three shrines of "Gozu Tenno Sansha", the first shrine is "Edo Shrine" and the second shrine is "Ninomiya".

It is called "Dai Temmacho Yakumo Shrine".

The Tenno Sansha is dedicated to the god of Daikoku-sama's father, "Takehayassanoonomikoto".

It is a huge statue of Daikoku-sama in Kanda Myojin.

 

It is "Edo Shrine" of Ichinomiya.

 

It is "Dai Temmacho Yakumo Shrine" in Ninomiya.

It's the water.

The contributor of the Tensui Oke is a "taimono wholesaler" friend (a merchant who was lined up in the Nihonbashi area, dealing with cloths, etc.), but before that, Otemmacho was Miyamoto, so the name of Otemmacho is also written. It is.

Unfortunately, the festival is not currently being held at Dai Temmacho Yakumo Shrine.
 

This year is said to be the year when the carrying of miniature shrines of "Kobunacho Yakumo Shrine" will be held, so if I could cover the carrying of miniature shrines that will be held in September, I would like to introduce it on my blog again.

 

 

The opposite bank of Kiyosu Bridge. The tall warehouse on the Koto-ku side was demolished and the sky became wider.

Depending on the location, you may be able to capture Kiyosu Bridge with the blue sky in the background. It looks like something will be built again, so now may be a chance.

 

I wonder if it's going to get warm soon.

During the winter, the Sumida River Terrace, which was difficult to turn, is finally a fun season.

 

This area is slightly upstream of Kiyosu Bridge. The flowers that color the Sumida River terrace seem to have not been able to wait for spring.

 

This kind of information board is often seen on the Sumida River Terrace.

Here, the river line is "curve". There is "Shinohashi" on the upstream side and "Kiyosu Bridge" on the downstream side, each of which spans the entrance of the curve.

The top of the curve is where Shinohashi, the third place in the Sumida River during the Edo period, was located. It seems to have been rebuilt many times, but until about 100 years ago, a wooden bridge, two generations before the current bridge, was built here.

(The whole museum in Chuo-ku, 2015, the area where the former Shin-ohashi Bridge was built.)

 

The inside of the curve is on the Chuo-ku side, but there is a place downstream from Shinohashi in the Edo period, and it was called "Nakasu" or "Mitsumata".

 

 

On the other hand, the opposite bank of the Sumida River is the Fukagawa district of Koto-ku. When Shin-ohashi Bridge was built for the first time in the Edo period, that "Matsuo Basho" was crowded.

 

It is said that in 1680, when the Ryogoku Bridge was built for the first time in the wake of the great fire of the Meiryaku era, and when the flowers of common people began to open, Basho moved to this area where the Onagi River merged with the Sumida River.

(Bashoan Historic Site Observation Park viewed from the Chuo-ku side)

 

 

The "outside of the curve" where Basho lived.

 

Now from this place, facing the Chuo-ku side and looking at the river ...

 

On the upstream side is Shinohashi, the orange main tower, and far beyond Ryogoku Bridge.

On the downstream side, there is a high main tower of the blue curve Kiyosu Bridge, and far beyond Chuo-ohashi Bridge.

Thanks to the curve, the outlook is very good. You can see far beyond the river.

 

 

What did Basho look at here? You must have seen farther away than it is now ...

 

The mountain in Ueno, where cherry blossoms bloom upstream.

The boats of white sails come and go along the way.

Downstream is Tsukuda Island and the moon floating in the sea.

White Fuji far beyond Nihonbashi.

 

In one view of 180 degrees, such a landscape created by the curve should have spread.

 

 

"Is the flower cloud bell Ueno or Asakusa?"

"At night around the famous moons and ponds,"

 

I don't know much about how Basho chose this place because I don't study hard, but in later years, Hokusai and Hiroshige will draw Mount Fuji over the current Chuo-ku, so I can imagine that it was a scenic place.

 

Basho also saw the Shin-ohashi Bridge being built. It is said that Basho was very pleased with the completion in 1694.

"On the first snow and over the bridge."

"Thank you, the frost of the bridge to step on."

 

A few years later, the Eitai Bridge will be built downstream. Fukagawa is in the process of development, and it may have been a place with fun dreams in the future.

 

The Chuo-ku side on the opposite bank was beyond Basho's gaze.

It must have been a special scenery where Basho could feel something. Now, when I stand on this place, I think there was such an era.

(The Basho statue overlooking the upper stream. In the evening, it automatically turns toward Kiyosu Bridge downstream. )

 

 

 

Around the former Shin-ohashi Bridge on the Chuo-ku side, there is a small park called Nakasu Park, which was built several years ago.

 

It's just a little up the stairs from the Sumida River Terrace, but the Koto-ku side on the opposite bank seen from this small place is not so tall.

It is quite pleasant to sit on a bench and look at the large sky and the boat traveling slowly along the curve.

 

Hiroshige left Shin-ohashi Bridge seen from the Chuo-ku side in the Edo period in the work called "Ohashi Atake no Yudate". If you just drew it, the Sky Tree might be in the picture.

 

This park also has cherry blossoms.

If you want to take a break on the Sumida River Terrace, sit on a bench and look at the "Basho curve".

 

 

 

February 28 was the world-class "Tokyo Marathon", with about 37,000 runners participating for the 10th time since it started in 2007.
It can be said that this event is made up of consistent cooperation from all over Japan. This year, we were blessed with good weather and out of about 10,000 volunteers.
As the number of foreign runners has increased, multilingual volunteers have been set up to enhance hospitality.
It was truly fun to interact with each player, Switzerland, the United States, Taiwan, U.K., Italy, China, Indonesia, etc.
I thought Sweden, Canada, Malaysia, and the Japanese were all lively and vital to each other.
Many foreigners have the word well-organized, and I think that the word "tired" suits many people.

 

The competition includes a full marathon, 10 km, wheelchair, and its course includes many tourist attractions.

 

Shinjuku Metropolitan Government Office → Iidabashi (5 km) → Perimeter of the Imperial Palace → Takebashi, Hibiya Park (10 km) → Zojoji, Shinagawa (15 km, turning point)
→Ginza → Nihonbashi, Kayabacho (25 km) → Senso-ji Temple → Hamacho Park → Tsukiji (35 km) → Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge, Harumi Bridge
→Toyosu → Ariake → It is Tokyo Big Sight (goal).

 

Thank you for the first day of spring.

　

　

 

 

　We report support scenery of Tokyo marathon 2016 held on February 28.

In front of "Rigale Nihonbashi Ningyocho" near Suitengu Shrine.

A brave dance waving a big flag

The cute children also danced hard and cheered.

Oops, before that, "Chanogi Shrine" had delicious tea.

Under the expressway near Sakamoto Elementary School

"Edo Gei Kappore" had a high touch with the runner in between and encouraged them by dancing.

The runners seemed to be somewhat lighter and faster.

And it's going to be an economic activity again.

In front of "ADK Shochiku Square" in Higashiginza, we cheered the runners with Okinawa folk song with dance, and we also enjoyed the sights.

Even in a place near Irifune Bridge, cheering with drums has ended. I couldn't see it this year because my arrival was delayed.

I thought it was really wonderful to support people around the world with traditional Japanese performing arts.

Thank you very much for all of you who supported us.
