<Ieyasu, build Edo>

---

　On January 2, 2019, the NHK New Year era drama "Ieyasu, build Edo (Part 1: control water)" was broadcast. . (Original author: Keiki Kadoi)

https://www.nhk.or.jp/jidaigeki/ieyasu/index.html

　The main character of this historical drama is Fujigoro Okubo (actor: Kuranosuke Sasaki), who maintained Josui at the order of Ieyasu.

　Fujigoro, who was in charge of maintaining clean water in Edo, finds spring water around Kanda Myojin, and first maintains Koishikawa water supply. And with the population increase in Edo, we will work on a major job from Inokashira Pond through the Kanda River Josui to the town of Edo. The hardships and human patterns in that area are depicted.

　Just about 400 years ago, the capital Tokyo was a wilderness covered with harsh nature.

---

　In the context of Chuo-ku, the area seems to be an area full of reeds, such as the Yukaku being named Yoshihara.

　So what kind of scenery was the place where reeds grew as far as the eye can see?

　Hara of the reed is like this. I took a picture in Kushiro Marsh.

　The first photo is a corner with reeds. The Nature Guide told me about this place.

　The second photo is a photo of your feet. It indicates that this area is a wetland.

　In order to image the land of Edo when reeds were overgrown, I pulled out a photo taken in Kushiro Marsh earlier this time.

<Scene>　－My husband, this is Edo-

　Finally, there was an impressive scene in the historical drama "Ieyasu, build Edo", so I will introduce it. ※From this, it's "Netabare". Please keep in mind.

　(In 1590, when Ieyasu entered Edo. At the order of Ieyasu, Fujigoro Okubo was in charge of the water supply work in Edo. Togoro traveled from Sunpu to Edo with Anbei to find spring water suitable for clean water. It's the first time for Fujigoro. He was proceeding along the road without roads while scraping the grass, but as far as the eye can see, the reed Hara spreads. That's why Fujigoro asked.

　Fujigoro Okubo: "Anbei, how far is it to Edo?"

　Anbei: "What are you talking about, my husband. This is Edo.

 

 

This is rosemary sea, where we cover "gifts and enjoy yourself" with Ann Paidwork.

　

For three days from December 26 (Wednesday) to 28 (Friday), the annual `` Yagenbori no Narimachi, Ode-koichi '' was held in the neighborhood of Yagenbori Fudoin in Higashinihombashi. It was crowded with many people.

This is a performance at Edo Dai-Kagura Maruichi Senoshachu.

This is the final round of three parts.

　

On the 26th of the first day, Ogoma is fired twice at 13:00 and 17:00 because Ogoma is fired in between.

On the 27th and 28th, there are three performances at 13:00, 15:00, and 17:00, one time is about 45 minutes.

　

We interviewed the first event on the 26th of the first day.

I was taken care of by Edo Dai-Kagura Maruichi Senosha, Maruichi Seno and the 13th Iemoto.

The following "" is the word of Iemoto.

This is the second part of the performance of the day. All images can be enlarged by clicks.

　

"Now, this time, I'm trying to try something that's a bit strange. Then, teacup tea bowl, Japanese tea cup, yes, Setomono. It breaks when it is dropped. Today, I'll take a look from where I drop and break. Turn it, it makes a beautiful sound. Listen and listen, tea bowl, let's go, good!'

"(The sound of chilien) You can hear the sound of Setomono turning. Well, I will turn the umbrella fast as it is. Please take a look at the direction of the tea bowl. The tea bowl gradually rises (and gradually, the performer, Kasen-san), gradually rises (and gradually) and gradually rises, and it's time. (Yes)

"The tea bowl is turning upward. Your luck is getting better. Yes, it's still around. I went around the tea bowl only.

　

"Oh, the last is to try something square. It's okay because I don't have a little child today. I hardly know when I ask a little child, "What is it?" I'm a child who understands, "I'm talking about it."

"This is called a masu. Well, you know if you are an adult, how many are you going? What's it? Yes, I heard, Gogo Masu. The square when sowing beans is is one square. Hey. It's just half of that.

Please don't look at the other side. Well, let's go. Yeah!'

　

　

In front of the left hand, Senma-san, and in the back right is Kasen-san earlier.

"Yes, thank you. ・・ ・ This time, it was a well-balanced acrobatics and water acrobatics. This acrobatics can only be done in such places. Spraying water on the stage doesn't let anyone do anything in Japan. I can't do it because the stage gets dirty with water or it's hard to clean it, but we often go abroad, but we'll let you do anywhere overseas. Let's see this water acrobatics and balance art.'

"First of all, I take out the tip of a long stick, and this, we call it" repellent ". There's a board with tufts on this. And there's a cup filled with water on the board. Make good balance and put it on your thumb. Oh, yes, I got on.'

It's amazing, I put everything in. Is it an alternative? Now, I took out a thin bamboo toothpick from my hand. I'll put this in my mouth. There is a building on the tip of the toothpick.

"If you ride well, let's pay attention to the tea bowl. Ono Komachi is all right. Yes, as you can see, the water is getting clean. It's still far, yes.'

"Yes, the lion will go around to purify our customers' evils. I'm going to bite it. From the left. Please stay there. It's a problem. I would like you to bow your head with a wish so that it will be a good year next year. Yes, thank you.'

Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
Suddenly, is anyone watching NHK Taiga drama series?
In the first installment of "Idaten-Tokyo Olimpic Story-", which has just begun.
Places related to Chuo-ku, such as Nihonbashi, have also appeared?


Photographed when washing the bridge.

I'm a major in world history, but there's Taiga drama series that I've done it twice in the past.
These are "Koname is Tsuji" and "Onna castle owner Naotora".
In particular, I got into the latter without knowing it.
I went to Shizuoka and Gunma prefectures to see places related to the Ii family.

The Ii family is also depicted in the famous Sekigahara Battle Screen.
Isn't it a girder with a replacement pattern indicating the "well" of the well?
In addition, the tachibana found in the regular crest is also famous.
I noticed that a emblem combining such a girder and a similar tachibana could be found everywhere in Minobubetsuin, and I was worried, "Is there a connection with the Ii family?" .

The first thing I found was that the emblem of Tachibana on the Igirder is the temple crest of Nichiren sect.



Looking back at the photos at the time of the visit, you can see that the temple crests are arranged in various places, from offertory box to tiles.



And it is the origin of the temple crest that is worrisome, but there are various theories.
A relatively well-known theory is that the fifth ancestor of Nichiren Shonin came from the Ii family.
The other theory is the combination of the girder and the tachibana, which is said to have been loved by the saints, after the spring that rose upon the birth of Nichiren Shonin.
I can't say which origin is correct here, but I find unexpected connections with the Ii family in unexpected places.
I reconfirmed that "the emblem is still interesting."

Well, I've introduced you to Minobubetsuin's oiling Daikokuten and temple crest twice, how was it?
If you are visiting the Seven Lucky Gods or like history, I would be grateful if you could think "I want to go once."

Reference cooperative database "The temple crest of Nichiren sect is like a tachibana on a girder, but the Nichiren sect Nakayama Lotus Sutra temple and Kiyokazu temple in branch temple (Myonori 3, Ichikawa) use the temple crest of bellflowers. I want to know why."

The Sumida River Ohashi is the only two-tiered bridge that spans the Sumida River. The upper part is the Metropolitan Expressway, and the lower part is a functional bridge with general roads and sidewalks. I have been asked for the Chuo-ku Tourism Test.

　　

　

My personal impression is that the whole view of the bridge is not very distinctive, but from this bridge you can see the contrasting bridges of both Eitai Bridge and Kiyosu Bridge.

　　

<< << Eitai Bridge This is a previous photo and is currently under construction. >>>>

　

　

<<<<<<I am currently under construction at Kiyosu Bridge here.　>>>>

　

Looking at the structural point, it is supported separately from the part that supports the lower bridge girder and the upper part.

　

<<<< the pier supporting the bridge girder >>>>

　

<<<<<<< Supports the Metropolitan Expressway above >>>>>

　

<<<<<<<<< This part does not support the general road below) >>>>>

　

　

　

Looking at the upper section of the capital highway Hakozaki direction, not only the two steps but also another further above, and the Hakozaki Junction looks like a maze.

　

<<<<<<< In this part, it is even more above >>>>

　

<<If you look at the direction of Hakozaki Junction, the Metropolitan Expressway is like a maze and is exactly necessary.>>>

　

<<<<<<This seismic reinforcement was not available before. >>>>

　

　

As you can see not only on the bridge but also on the bottom, there are facilities that support social infrastructure.

　

　

 

 

Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
The other day, when I took a walk in Kodemmacho, I stopped by Minobu Betsuin.
The Nichiren Shonin seated statue (Tangible Cultural Property designated by Tokyo) whose eyes are made of crystals is famous.
Actually, there are a lot of other interesting things.
Therefore, I would like to introduce the charm of Minobu Betsuin, which makes you want to stop by in two separate sessions.



This time, I'll cover "Daikokuten Oil Spilling".
At the Flower Festival, sweet tea is poured into Historical Buddha, and you are here in Daikokuten, where you can oil anytime throughout the year....
I was worried about it, and looked it up



[I say] ※There are various theories.
In Fushimi, Kyoto, there is a town called "Aburake Town", which in the past, an oil merchant accidentally poured oil on a stone statue on the roadside.
Since then, there has been a legend that business has prospered greatly.
Mrs. Shige of Showa's famous actor Kazuo Hasegawa from Fushimi is deeply dependent on Shinto and Buddha.
Shortly after the war, I accidentally dreamed of this oiled Tenjin as a dream.
I was told by patron saint of academics that I would worship in Tokyo and connect with many people.
head priest Nichijo Fujii of Minobu Betsuin at the time.
I decided to worship at Minobu Betsuin.

[Losss]
Prosperity of business, good luck, safe delivery



There are not many shrines and temples that worship the oiled Daikokuten even when viewed nationwide.
When you come near, why don't you pray for Daikokuten with oil?
