How many more sleeps are New Year's Day. 。 。
Blog readers, are you ready for New Year's cards? Next year is the year of the monkey. "Shin" seems to mean "the fruit will mature and become clear", and next year seems to be "the year when the results of efforts will be fruitful." I want to do my best positively.
Well, just before I went to Kyobashi for dinner with my family, I went to a post office near the restaurant to buy a plain inkjet New Year's card while talking about such things.
[Kyobashi-dori Post Office in Kyobashi]
There were many people at the post office seeking New Year's cards in the same way, so if you wait for your turn, the son of the "question kid
" 
will ask simple questions as usual.
"This post office is called Kyobashi-dori, but before this, there was an absence delivery slip in my home, and it was Kyobashi Post Office that went to receive a parcel from my aunt. I know "Kyobashi-dori Post Office" in Kyobashi, but why is that (of Harumi-dori St.) not "Tsukiji Post Office" but "Kyobashi Post Office"?"
~ Kyobashi-dori Post Office is a post office located a little on the road opposite Tokyo Square Garden across Chuo-dori toward Showa-dori. This street is between Kajibashi Street and Kyobashi Takegashi Street, and it seems that this area was once called Guashicho, Minami Temmacho, etc., but there is no particular street name at present ~~
"Yes, this Kyobashi-dori Post Office means a post office in Kyobashi. I wondered if the name of the street in front of me could be called "Kyobashi Street", but it doesn't seem to be particularly named on the street. " 
[Goo Map near Kyobashi in Meiji period] ⇒A little north of Kyobashi in the center, "Kyobashi Post Office (the predecessor of the current Kyobashi Dori Post Office?) You can see it.
~-I asked the Japan Post General Affairs Department about the origin of Kyobashi-dori Post Office. Kyobashi-dori Post Office was at the beginning of Showa (1929?) It was said that it was founded, but unfortunately the origin of the name was not known at the post office. On the other hand, if you look at the old map of Meiji period (goo map old map), you can see that there was a slightly smaller post office called Kyobashi Post Office near Kitazume in Kyobashi. It's just an estimate, but this post office also started as a Kyobashi post office, but it's confusing that there are two post offices with the same name, so at the beginning of Showa (near Kyobashi) "Kyobashi-dori Post Office" Isn't it that you changed the name (if you know about this point, I would be grateful if you could tell me more, and I would like to investigate it with the question monk.) ~

「。 。 。 "Kyobashi Post Office" may have meant the post office of "Kyobashi Ward" when Chuo-ku was a separate ward in Kyobashi Ward and Nihonbashi Ward in the past. This post office is still a large post office that collects and distributes, but since it has long been a post office that has been the center of this area (formerly Kyobashi Ward), it may have been named Kyobashi Post Office. "
If you look at the old map of Meiji period (goo map old map), you can see the name "Kyobashi Post Office" at the current location of Tsukiji 4-chome. Looking at the map of the early Meiji era (a map of another Ministry of Home Affairs, etc.), it has not yet become a post office because it has not yet become a post office for "Navy territory" or "Agriculture, Commerce and Industry Ministry Land". ) It is presumed that the Kyobashi Post Office was established in Japan. ～～
[Goo Map near Tsukiji in Meiji period] ⇒You can see the "Kyobashi Post Office" in the center of the left. The pink land at the lower right is Tsukiji Honganji Temple, and the red line is Toden.
"Hey, Kyobashi Ward is a cool name!"
"The current Chuo-ku was established in 1947, and I know that Kyobashi-ku and Nihonbashi-ku were together to form Chuo-ku. Now it is called Tokyo's 23 wards, but in the Meiji era there were 50 wards, the era of 100 wards (precisely, there were 11 and 103 small wards and called O ward small wards), the era of 15 wards, The era of the 35 wards and the number of wards have changed significantly. Kyobashi Ward and Chuo-ku were born in 1878 when they became 15 wards. "
"By the way, do you know that Chuo-ku has a deep connection with the history of postal mail in Japan? Nihonbashi was the first post office in Japan, and now it is called the Postal Services Agency at an external office of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications, but the Ministry of Communications, which was the source of it, was able to go to Kibikicho (now Ginza Junior High School, Ginza Post Office) in Meiji period."
Just because the order of waiting here came, the story ended, but his son also seemed interested in the history of Chuo-ku and mail. It seems that you will go to the Kyobashi Library and the Postal Museum in Oshiage (Sumida-ku) during the winter vacation to check various things.
