Hello, this is Minato kid.
Today, I would like to walk "Odenma Honcho-dori St." from Nihonbashi Honmachi 3-chome 6 to Nihonbashi Daidenmacho 16.

♪　Otemmacho as a publishing town
In the Edo period, there was a town called "Toyu-cho". It's the 13th area of Odenmacho today. In this area, there were many Shoshi because the play town was close.
In the Genroku era (1688-1704), the scale shop dealing with joruri books, and in the Tenmei era (1781-89), it was a town famous for red-e (a type of ukiyo-e).

In such a town, there was a Shoshido by Juzaburo Tsutaya (1750-1797), a popular publisher in the middle of the Edo period.
Koshodo opened a store in this area in 1783 (1783), and published yellow covers, stylish books (Sharebon), Kyoka books, Nishiki-e, etc. Among them, many leading writers such as Ota Nanbo) and Kyoden Santo (Santo Kyoden), many of the leading players such as Katsushika Hokusai Kitagawa, and many Torakutama.

　"Higamoto Toyu" Katsushika Hokusai painting

The information board of Koshodo is located along the Odenma Honcho-dori St., in the 13th area of Odenmacho.

In addition, one of the publishers who published "Tokaidochu Hizakurige" of Jukkasha 1765-1831, which has a grave in Chuo-ku, is the same Toyu-cho, You can give Jirobei Murataya.

In addition, print shops such as Senzurudo Tsuruya Kiemon, who sold the Edo calendar and Chiyo paintings, and Gun Gyokudo Matsumoto Zenbei, and Matsumodohama Matsuya Kosuke were also famous. Japanese paper is light and durable and not bulky, so these prints were perfect for Edo souvenirs.

♪　Otemmacho as a cotton wholesaler district

Another characteristic of Otemmacho is the cotton wholesaler district of the former 1.2-chome.

On the north side of the former Odenmacho 2-chome, there is a mansion from Mikawa country (now eastern Aichi prefecture) and a village headman in Otemmacho. Was. It is said that the townspeople under the control opened a Mikawa cotton wholesaler in the town.

In addition, the Hamacho River, which was once excavated on the east side of Otemmacho, laid the foundation for this town to prosper as a wholesale district. In the late Edo period, "Edo Shopping Sogo Guide" states that there are 22 cotton wholesalers alone.

On the south side of Daidenma Honcho-dori St., there was a street called Daimaru Shindo (Daimaru Jinmichi) in the former Totagocho. As the name implies, in 1743 (1743), a kimono store run by Shoemon Shimomura, Daimaruya opened here.

Since then, Otemmacho has formed a cotton wholesaler area called "Momendana" and boasts its prosperity to this day.

From the Daidenma Honcho-dori St. I walked this time, I could see the Sky Tree straight ahead. Looking back, the other side of the street is the liveliness of Bettara City. Even in the old days of the Edo period, the large store in Otemmacho performed the Ebisu-ko on New Year's Day 20 and October 20.

Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
When I went to Nihonbashi Ebisu-ko Betara City, I stopped by a long-established Edo-ya, founded in 1718, which was particularly crowded.
As written on the wall of the building, this shop deals with brushes, etc.
It is this unique appearance that catches your eye before entering the store!


　
This expresses a brush, and it is an architecture that uses the technique of artificial stone washing finish.
If you say that, it's certainly like a brush.
It is a valuable building registered in the country-registered Tangible Cultural Property.
It is also published in the official text of the Chuo-ku Tourism Certification.


　
A lot of brushes and brushes are hung from the ceiling inside the store.
From there, I got a glimpse of traditional techniques that could not be imitated with modern convenient techniques.
In addition, the warmth and taste unique to wooden architecture (built in 1924) is impressive.
　

　
In addition to brushes, toothbrushes and hairbrushes for clothes, shoes, cleaning, makeup, etc.
There are a wide variety of products, including brushes for Japanese calligraphy and brushes for painting.
Isn't it just right as a gift or a souvenir of Chuo-ku?
　

　
I purchased this toothbrush for my family, which was profitable during the period of Betara City.
The brush part has horse hair (softened, normal), pig hair (flat), normal size and large size.
It's different from familiar transparent and white brushes, and it's hard to see elsewhere.
Would you like to try out what kind of polishing it feels like?
　

　
According to the shop, the hair gradually becomes shorter while using it, but it seems that the hair gradually becomes shorter.
It seems that it lasts 3-4 months, long and half a year!
Also, "softening" can be used for gum massage.
　
This shop, which began with the first Ribei, who became a brush master of the Shogun's family in the era of the seventh shogun's family, has been in business for 300 years this year!
This wonderful tradition and technology is a treasure that we want to pass on to the future.

It may be on Wednesday and Saturday. But that's not always true.

Even if there is, it will be sold out immediately. On this day, it's very low.

Up to 3 bags per person.

Signboard

I will also explain the signs in the table.

Actually, on September 4, 2017, last year, I explained it once in an article by Mr. Yagi Naga Honten in Nihonbashi Muromachi.

Book by Setsudo Yamazaki (1896-1976)-sensei.

　

He is also the leader of Nitten, the winner of the Japan Art Academy Prize, and the founder of the Japanese calligraphy Federation of Chuo-ku.

It is also said that he was the seventh generation of Nihonbashi's bonito wholesaler Nakaya.

The signboard in the shop of Yagi Cho Honten is also written by Mr. Setsudo.

　

By the way, Mihara Domoto store, there is a rice cracker factory in Omitama City, Ibaraki.

There is a store in Morishita, Koto-ku, which also serves as a Japanese confectionery factory and a Western confectionery factory.

　The 13th antenna shop stamp rally in Chuo-ku started on October 4th.　stamp rally mounts are available at each antenna shop. There are 25 participating stores in each prefecture this year.

If you get stamps from 17 different stores from all 25 stores, you can apply for this booklet with a postcard that fits in. Those who collect stamps from all 25 stores will be automatically entered in the "Complete Award" assortment of prizes provided by all W Chance stores.

　Read the explanation on the stamp rally antenna shop guide and make the most of the use of coupons and coupon benefits.

"For the first 200 people, ..." can only be received as soon as possible during the event. "For the first 20 people every day ..." It must arrive early in the store opening.　Today, it was a start from noon, so I visited a shop called "For the first 200 people ..." and the shops around it.

Thank you very much for a shop called "5% discount from shopping price".　Don't panic, let's use it within the period.

This time, we are also thinking of exploring sweets in each prefecture.

For example, at one of the shops I visited today, "Food Kuni Fukuikan", I purchased it because Hafuju mochi is popular.

　

The last day of this year's antenna shop stamp rally is October 23.　Please enjoy it.

The application deadline is valid for applications to the BOX provided on Sunday, October 28 during the day and in the case of mail, postmark on the day.

 

 

From Tsukiji, take the first car of the subway Hibiya Line and get off at Kodemmacho station. When you exit the ticket gate in front of you and go up by elevator, you will see a temple. The name of this temple is "Oanrakuji Temple". This is the place where the Kodemmacho prison was located in the Edo period.

　

The Kodemmacho prison was 2,600 tsubo, one of the largest prisons at the time. The location is said to be around the current Daianrakuji Temple, Minobu Betsuin Temple, Jisshi Park, and Jushi Square on the site of the school, but it is said that Daianrakuji Temple is a special place with an execution site. So the red stone monument built here creates an atmosphere that cannot be tasted elsewhere.

　

In fact, after the Meiji era, the site of this prison was a land that was hard to use. So this temple was built to comfort the spirits. It is said that the name "Oanrakuji Temple" was derived from the names of two conglomerates, Kihachiro Okura and Zenjiro Yasuda.

　

The celebrity who was executed in the prison was probably Yoshida Shoin. On October 27, 1859 during the late Tokugawa shogunate period, Ansei's prison closed his 29-year-old life. In the adjacent Jisshi Park, there is a stone monument of Yoshida Shoin, engraved with a phrase of resignation of Shoin.

　

Because of this kind of land, I thought that few people would visit, but surprisingly, people appeared in front of this monument. In more than a dozen minutes, he followed young men, two women, and an uncle about 80 years old. What kind of thoughts do you have to visit this place?

　

The uncle called out. It is said that you can't read the engraved characters.

　

I can't decay in Nobe of Musashi.

The Yamato Soul

　

And he managed to read it together, and then continued

　

21 times on October 5th

　

I didn't understand the meaning of it.

　　

This uncle is from Yamaguchi Prefecture, the local of Yoshida Shoin. He said he was from Suo-Oshima floating in Setouchi, and was visited this place in honor of "Matsukage-sensei". It seemed that the way this monument was handled was poorer than I expected, and it seemed a little disappointing. When I took a picture, "I took a picture in commemoration ...", I was quite pleased, and then a hot story began. He listened in front of the stone monument, feeling that his thoughts on "Mr. Matsukage" were extraordinary.

　

　

When I looked later, the phrase of this resignation was the beginning of the "Rome Record" written in Kodemmacho prison. He began writing as a will for his disciples on October 5 (25th), and wrote about 5,000 characters on the evening of the 26th, the day before the execution. "The twenty-one great man" was the name of Yoshida Shoin.

　

But one sent to his disciples was lost in the turbulence of late Tokugawa shogunate. The other one was entrusted to Yoshigoro Numazaki, a prisoner who became Toshima on Hachijojima Island (also Miyakejima Island), and ten years after the sentence was released, passed to Yasushi Nomura, a former junior student, and left at Hagi's Shoin Shrine. There is a long story that it was done.

　

The characters engraved on the stone monument in Jisshi Park seem to be enlarged and enlarged engraving the letters of Shoin's autograph "Ryokuroku". So, the word of the resignation created by "Mr. Matsukage" probably means that he went around and returned to the sacred place of Kodemmacho.

　

By the way, there are various historical sites in this neighborhood of Jisshi Park, and there are many things to see. Among them, what I saw today was the explanation board of "Jushinosou". I had been wondering for a long time that I could not hear Japanese, but today I was finally able to solve that question.

　

In the Meiji era, the school district here was the 14th elementary school district, and the sound of "Jishinoso" in the Chinese history book "Shijitsukan" was connected to 14. Jushi Elementary School ". Jushi Elementary School has disappeared, but only the romantic architecture still remains.

　

It seems that Ieyasu Tokugawa also referred to the idea of this ten thought in a book called Jogan Masanori. It's like an instruction read by someone who should be a leader, so maybe I've read Yoshida Shoin and Naosuke Ii.

　

When I recall my childhood, I couldn't understand the meaning at school and was recited by the famous sentence. Was the children who studied at this Jushi Elementary School recited this Jushi?

　

The famous sentence that I recited as a child is now realized that it is a very good rhythm. I think that rhythm has probably been a little useful since I became an adult.

　

Looking at the ten thoughts translated in an easy-to-understand manner, my ears hurt a little. If you want to recit, it may be better to focus on about three thoughts.

　

By the way, if you look at the map, you can see that this Kodemmacho area is almost halfway between the large path from Asakusabashi to Jobanbashi.

　

Ieyasu came to Edo and started urban development, and water and land transportation were improved, but this route was a key point for land transportation. The local merchant of Ieyasu was also attracted, and since then it has become a very prosperous place. Old town names such as Otemmacho, Kodemmacho, Bakurocho, and Yokoyamacho still remain, but some towns seem to have disappeared, such as Tonango-cho and Toyu-cho.

　

So if you like history, it may be fun to open an old map and walk around the area while thinking about it during the Edo period.

　

Are you going to Asakusabashi? Do you want to go to Jobanbashi?
If you walk from the intersection of Kodemmacho toward Ningyocho, you will see the sign of Hoda Ebisu Shrine at the first intersection. The other one seems to be the main street of the Edo period, but on October 19 and 20, there is `` Bettara City '', so today according to the instructions on the sign, toward Hoda Ebisu Shrine, the direction of Jobanbashi. I walked.

　

This road is a narrow street called "Ebisu-dori", and along the way there are historic sites such as the site of the mansion of Kanmi Magome, the Hoda Ebisu Shrine, and the well of Otake Dainichi Nyorai, which hit Showa-dori. The Ozu Historical Museum is located there, with good historical materials that allow you to know about the Edo period when this area flourished.

　

The introduction may have been reversed, but when you take a walk around here, I think it is better to first enter this Ozu Historical Museum. And it's best to walk according to the season in Betara City.

　

If you cross Showa-dori by the underpass, you will find the "Kusukuri Museum" and beyond, Nihonbashi Muromachi on Chuo-dori, which is close to popular downtown areas.
