Inside the underground concourse of Mitsukoshi-mae Station on the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line and Hanzomon Line (near the underground center entrance of the main building of Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store)
"Kidai Shoran" is a picture scroll that vividly depicts the state of Edo from Nihonbashi to Imagawa Bridge. Mitsukoshi's roots of kimono, Echigoya, a cutlery wooden shop (four houses including those contracted), 20 dogs, 13 horses, 4 cows, 1671 people (I am not counting) It seems that it is drawn.
As 20 dogs are drawn, it seems that there was a pet boom in the Edo period, and as I mentioned last time, dog droppings are one of Edo specialties.
It seems that many cats were kept. I remember that it came out on a rakugo pillow, but it seems that there was actually a "cat flea shop" in the Edo period, and many people kept cats so much that this became a business.
"Kidai Shoran" It is written as "Odawaramachi Entrance" at the knife shop mentioned earlier. The current Tsukiji 6.7-chome was previously called Odawara-cho (more than 50 years ago), or may refer to here.
The name of "Odawara-cho" still remains as "Odawara-cho police box" in the police box at Tsukiji 6-chome.
By the way, this "Odawara-cho" is said to be the origin of the name that Odawara Shu moved here (Kanagawa Prefecture). (The same applies to Tsukuda and Akashicho.)
In addition, "Odawara-cho", the biggest difficulty of Tokaido starting from Nihonbashi, "Hakone" here is also "Odawara-cho".
The starting point of Gokaido Nihonbashi
<<<<Another Odawara Town >>>>
When setting up the post office, it was said that 50 houses were emigrated each from the neighboring Odawara-juku and Mishima-juku each, and the post office was set up, but the current Hakone-machi still has the names of Odawaracho and Mishimacho. It is said that it originates from this time.
In addition to the meaning of the notation, Odawara-cho was the territory of the Odawara clan, and Mishima-cho was the territory of the Mishima clan. Throughout the Edo period, Hakone-juku was a special post town with two lords, even though it was a single post town. It seems that only Hakone-juku is the only post with such a domination form among the 53rd Tokaido.
It looks like this near the old Tokaido Hakone.
Here are cedar trees and pine trees on the Tokaido are known, but pine trees seem to be difficult to grow if the altitude is high.
There are places that cross the current national highway, and there is guidance like this.
Once again, there is "Kyodai Shoran" and Banya. Banya is equivalent to the current police box, but there was a Kido number and his own number.
Kidos were set up in each town, and Kidos were closed four at night and opened six at dawn. The Kido Banya is managed by Kido Banya.
He was in charge of security around the town,suspicious individual and criminals were temporarily detained because of his own guardhouses.
It seems that the guardhouse of the Edo period and the modern police box and place are quite consistent.
) between Nihonbashi Diamond Building and Nihonbashi Post Office are beautiful.
is the birthplace of Mitsubishi Warehouse.
