Higashi-no-... [Remains of Kamono Mabuchi Prefecture]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] January 10, 2017 16:00

If you look at the flames in the field of the east (Himugashi) and look at it, you will see the moon inclination.

This is a famous song by Hitomaro Kakinomotono, which is included in Makiichi Manyoshu (48), and I have recently discovered an interesting description about this song.

If you ask, "Who did you write this song?", It should usually be "Sorry, Hitomaro Kakinomotono", but in fact it can't be said.

 

What do you mean?

Manyoshu is written in Manyo kana, and this song is written in 14 kanji characters, "Higashino Shochimijita Tsukinishitari", and Manyoshu has no clue as to what it reads in Japanese.

 

It was Kamono Mabuchi who read this as "Higashino ...", and until then it was read as "Azumanokebrinotathertokoromiteka Henemis Lebatsuki Katabukinu". The oldest record is a copy of the last year of the Heian period, the first year of the lunar calendar (1184).

 

In the end, Hitomaro Kakinomotono decided to write such a song (Higashino ...) that was more than a thousand years old than Maro, Kamono Mabuchi in the middle of the Edo period~~

It is said that the reading of Kamono Mabuchi is "bold" or "reckless", but it is said that Mabuchi's reading was established because he was so influential.

 

In fact, "Higashino ..." is stronger, and I feel like Manyoshu.

 

By the way, the above source is Toshio Takashima's "Kanji Talk" (Kodansha Hyundai Shinsho), and Professor Takashima quotes Yoshio Shiraishi's "The Mystery of Ancient Words" (Nakakou Shinsho).

Kamono Mabuchi is a national scholar who studied classics centered on Manyoshu, and is known as his main books such as "Manyo Thinking", "Singing Thinking", "National Thinking", and "Congratulations".

 

It seems that Mabuchi's residence was located in Hisamatsucho, Chuo-ku. At present, there is a plate showing the trace of Kamono Mabuchi Prefecture residence on the wall of the Jonathan Nihonbashihamacho store located near the Hisamatsucho intersection facing Kiyosubashi-dori.

According to the explanation on the plate, the real address is about 100 meters northeast of here.

I could see the Tokyo Sky Tree beautifully from a nearby street.

 

 

Yagenbori Fudoin during the year-end and New Year holidays

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] January 8, 2017 18:00

Yagenbori Fudoin, located in Higashi-Nihonbashi 2-chome, is the Tokyo Besin of the Shingon sect Chiyama school Omotoyama Kawasakidaishi Hirama-ji Temple.

This is famous for the year-end “Non-no-ichi” at the end of the year, but New Year's Day is also crowded with new year worshipping customers.

From the end of the year to the beginning of the year, many lanterns are displayed, but what is different from other temples is that the lecturers (lecturers) are "Ichiryusai ...", "Takarai ...", "Kanda ..." "Tanabe ..." and "Tanabe ..." are lined up.

In the precincts, there is a monument to commemorate the launch of Kodan.

According to the explanation of the origin, during Genroku, Akamatsu Seizaemon took Taiheiki at Machitsuji, Asakusa Mitsukebe, and it became the birthplace of Edo lectures, which later developed into `` Taiheiki Koshoba '' and developed for a long time during the Ansei period, this monument was relocated to the Kanto region, and this monument was relocated to the Kanto region 3.

In addition, due to the connection between the Fudoin and the Kodan Association, a new monument was built here to commemorate the 1,150th anniversary of Shingon sect Soso Koho Daishi.

At this Fudoin, a monthly talk meeting is held, and a special talk meeting is also held at the Chuo-ku Marugoto Museum.

Tour Seven Lucky Gods

[Grandpa] January 4, 2017 18:00

New Year's holiday in 2017.

I went on a tour of Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods because of the fine weather.

After 9:30 in the morning, I purchased colored paper for pilgrimage and started Kasama Inari Shrine (Kotobuki Oigami) in Hamacho.

There was no such congestion on this day at 10:20.

As I heard that you can pilgrimage in a short time, it goes well and goes well.

Now, next time, Koami Shrine (Fukurokuju) turned around the corner, I saw ... Eh large line

I wonder if there were roughly 100 meters in two rows? It took about 50 minutes...

It's very crowded from New Year's Day to 3rd.

If you take a walk after the 4th of New Year's Day or on a regular day, you can take a walk.

If you take an hour and a half to 2 hours, it will be broken.

The neighborhood of Nihonbashi Ningyocho, where shrines gather, is a long-established and souvenir shop dealing with famous confections.

There are a lot of restaurants.

I think it's also fun to enjoy the taste and taste of long-established stores.

Why don't you take this opportunity to visit the famous sights of Nihonbashi?

I hope the new year will be a great year!
