　"Oh, Mr. Miya, on the 17th of January. If this evening of next year, my tears will always make the moon cloudy, so ..."

　In modern times, January 17 is the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake, but the elderly people also sang Koyo Ozaki (1868-1903), "Kiniro Yasha".

　An anecdote that connects the autumn leaves with Maruzen in Nihonbashi is depicted in Roan Uchida (1868-1929). Luan was an active critic, translator, and novelist, but at that time he joined the Maruzen headquarters as an advisor to the book department, and was instrumental in editing the PR magazine "Gaku Stirup" and selling Western books.

　The autumn leaves, which predominantly took the world in the literary stage of the Meiji era and gained a wide range of readers, are exposed to incurable diseases at a young age and are sentenced to March. For the autumn leaves that came to Maruzen due to thinness, I order "Britannica", but I will buy "Century" in a bill that can be cut out instead of a hundred yen. It seems that the autumn leaves were never rich. Luan admires the autumn leaves, who did not forget the desire for knowledge until the moment of death and was willing to buy expensive dictionaries from rich sacs.

　Luan was critical of the autumn leaves and the works of Inkkuriyusha, and it seems that the two were separated, but in the `` One hour's Shikatayama Story '' at this time, I wrote that I was able to get rid of it without hesitation . And it says that it tells future generations that no one knows "the beautiful thing that is enough to decorate the last page of this autumn leaves". "The autumn leaves were truly a literary vessel and were not a talented person."

　Maruzen stopped by after a long time. Remember that you bought the Chuo-ku sightseeing certification text "Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia" and "Past Problem Collection" and the old text on the first floor here, and if you go up to the second floor, "Kiniro Yasha Up and down" "People who remember" are still lined up. A long time ago, on the second floor of Maruzen at that time, Katai Tayama bought a book of 12 Moupassan's short stories for 10 yen borrowed in advance, stroked and rubbed on the same shelf There was. When we went up to the third floor, the cafe left the shop at lunch, enjoying the Hayashi rice lunch created by the founder Uteki Hayashi.

I can't wait for the Tokyo Marathon in winter, and I'm one of those runners.

I can't run this year after losing the lottery, but last year I was lucky enough to participate in the Tokyo Marathon 2012.

I would like to report mainly on the Chuo-ku section while delaying.

Application will be made in August of the previous year, and lottery results will be announced in October. The magnification of recent lottery seems to be quite severe. There was time since the start was confirmed, so I practiced here and there, mainly around the Sumida River Terrace. In addition, I divided the test run of the course into several times. In the last few months, I also participated in other races and started the race with the ability to run as competitive as distance.

And on the day. Fortunately, I was able to race in an environment where the weather was good and easy to run. There is no problem with your physical condition. At 9:10 in the morning, we started in Shinjuku, Tokyo Metropolitan Government. The race itself went in the same way as his personal best time.

If you pass through the guard of Yurakucho at 21km, you will enter Chuo-ku. Heading to the intersection of Ginza 4-chome and heading to Nihonbashi on Chuo-dori is the most exciting area. An atmosphere that you can't taste in other marathons. Cheering does not stop even if you go from Kayabacho toward Ningyocho. Hamacho is close to my home, so it has family support. Head to Asakusabashi and go to Taito-ku once. When you come back from Asakusa again, it's more than 30 km and it gets harder and harder. Again, cheer for the family. I will do my best for the voice of the people along the road. Take the intersection of Ginza 4-chome toward Higashiginza, pass through Tsukiji, Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge, Asashio Ohashi, and go to Koto-ku. This area is 36 km.

Then it will be my last work. My feet were close to my limit and I couldn't do it, but I managed to hold it to Tokyo Big Sight and scored in 3 hours and 7 minutes. I'm happy to have a new record for the first time in a long time. It was a fun 42.195km. And one day I would like to open the 2-hour range.

The Chuo-ku section is an important section from the middle to the end, and is also a fun section. The pleasure of the scenery and the support of the roadside helped the players quite a bit. Especially when I was running in Ginza, I was impressed. I want to participate in the Tokyo Marathon again, and want to run more in Chuo-ku.

I will support you very hard this year. It's lonely that I can't run.

We would like to inform you that there will be an event to enjoy walking on the Tokyo Marathon Course again this year.　

In this event, for those who want to run but can't run, or want to walk, but in a very day ..., the course is divided into five and every Saturday from January 26 to February 23 It takes place.　The first day of January 26 is a course from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Office to Iidabashi Station.

　NHK's Taiga drama series "Yae no Sakura" broadcast on TV has started.

In the first part, there was a scene where my brother Kakuma Yamamoto visited Shozan Sakuma Juku in Kibiki-cho to learn Western artillery.　I would like to introduce some of the people I met during Kakuma Yamamoto's stay in Edo.

　Please see here for the explanation board of Shozan Sakuma Juku, which was introduced at the time of Ryoma Den earlier. http://www.chuo-kanko.or.jp/guide/spot/ginza/ginza_18.html 

At the same time, Kaishu Katsu and Sakamoto Ryoma also attended Shozan Sakuma Juku.

Kaishu Katsu later became the president of Tsukiji's warship training center.

Please see here for the ruins of a prison in Temmacho, where Yoshida Shoin was trapped, dreaming of flying abroad.

http://www.chuo-kanko.or.jp/guide/spot/nihonbashi/nihonbashi_08.html 

Through this Taiga drama series, I would like not only to learn about the history of late Tokugawa shogunate in the Edo period, but also to think about the people of the Aizu clan who are involved in the rejection of the Emperor and the flow of defeat.　

In the Ryomaden aired a few years ago, Sakamoto Ryoma, who was from a lower-class samurai, heard that in the United States, he was able to choose the president directly in the election, and in order to realize Japan ideal for the United States, he participated in the movement if there was only a defeat in cooperation with the male clan such as Satsuma.　For more information about historical sites related to Ryoma, please refer to my blog report.

I visited the Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods tour. This year is twice on January 4th and 6th.

" I purchased a lucky bag from Ozu Washi, received a tea service on the second floor, and received warm hospitality for my mind and body that I walked in the cold. By the way, Mr. Yamamoto-noriten of Galle welcomed me with a smile, received a picture plate, and after doing a little shopping, I received invitations to Tenugui and Kiyoshi Yamashita from Ema on the rooftop of Mitsukoshi Nihonbashi.　Kiyoshi Yamashita's exhibition will be held until January 14th.　The two girls who look good in kimono are wonderful.

On January 6 (Sunday), at Ningyocho Station, silently prayed at the monument of Ogawa Bridge, and from Kasama Inari Shrine opposite Hisamatsu Station, imagining the glory of Suehiro Shrine and Daimon Street, Yueido Hikokuro visited the monument of the ruins of Owariya, which was the origin of the name of amazake Yokocho. At the recommendation of the landlady, doll grilling was also served in the store, so I bought a rice cracker with the accompanying people.　Abe's rice cracker is very popular.　We expect stock prices to rise and the recovery of the Japanese economy.

Yuma in folk art was also open.　After that, I visited Matsushima Shrine and Suitengu Shrine.　In addition to the offer, Mr. Suitengu paid the donation in hope of the reconstruction of the Great East Japan Earthquake.　At the Chanogi Shrine, it was warmed by a bonfire.　Passing in front of Kakigara Ginza and Tamahide, visit Koami Shrine, Sugimori Shrine, and Takarada Ebisu Shrine over the monument of the birthplace of Junichirou Tanizaki and the site of the mansion in Saigo Takamori. At Ozu Washi, we had a fun lunch over the ruins of Otake Dainichi Nyoraiido, through Nihonbashi Muromachi, at Nihonbashi, the base of Gokaido, at the base of Gokaido, and at the site of Nihonbashi Fish Market.　We also asked for a talisman for Koami Shrine's "removal of good luck".
