Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
Continuing from the last time, I would like to focus on Chuo-ku that Sidmore saw!

■Impression of Edo (p. 75)
This section describes the scenery of Tokyo, where the remnants of Edo remain.
The frank and honest impression from overseas people at that time is spelled out.

"The scenery of Tokyo, which I see for the first time, disappointing travelers, just like the first scenery of Yokohama. Ginza, the main street in this commercial district begins with a bridge on the opposite side of the Shimbashi railway station and extends straight to Nihonbashi, the northern end of the Tokaido. Nihonbashi is the starting point of transportation for national distance measurement. In the Oita part of the road, moon-like buildings, curbs, and green shades are lined up based on foreign countries, but the railway carriage [carriage iron] echoes the pop-up sound, and the light carriage runs rattles. , The scenery of the city is quite inconsistent. This is not Oedo, which tourists dreamed, but is not a big city of the East. The plaster walls, wooden cylindricals, glamorous windows of the shops, and the stupid mountains of imitation, all the tourists face the way."



When I first read it, "I don't have to say so much."..."I felt somewhat sad,"
For those who are familiar with foreign landscapes, such harsh impressions may be appropriate.
And again, when we eat ramen and sushi overseas, we eat ramen and sushi.
"I'm sorry that the noodles are spreading...."The vinegared rice part is dry and hard to eat...."I feel like
Finding Chinese elements in buildings and gardens that are Japanese style or Japanese style.
"That's something different from the image....I think this feeling is something that I experienced with Sidmore.
Shedmore continued to say a word after this.

"But there are a lot of secret places unique to big cities, unforeseen excavations that are unrelated to the changing times, and you can get pure Japanese treasures that are enough to compensate for your initial disappointment."


(Okuno Building, a luxury designer condominium completed in 1932)

In other words, there are many immutable pure Japanese places, even as they change overseas (especially European countries) as examples.
From today's point of view, Japan's unique Historic buildings is located a little far from behind alleys and main streets.
I think it's an attractive place that can be called a "secluded gem" known to those who know it.
In addition, there may be wonderful scenery "I couldn't see it unless I got lost."
It can be said that such unexpected excavations are the real pleasure of walking around the town.


(Miyakawa poultry eggs, selected by Historic buildings, completed in 1929)

Sidmore's comment introduced this time is what modern tourists visiting Japan are looking for from Japan.
And I feel that it leads to what Japanese people who travel abroad are looking for.

It's a good idea to go around the sights of the royal road listed in the guidebook.
The popularity of traditional culture experience tours and "traveling like living" type trips is also increasing.
Also, rather than buying beautifully packaged souvenirs at shops like "The Souvenir Shop"
People have come to hear from locals that they want to buy something that has a reputation.
In that sense, it is necessary to consider what tourists visiting Japan are looking for.Sidmore's comments may be helpful.

"Sidmore Japan Journey" also describes the state of the army and Tsukiji foreign settlements at that time.
There is a record from the perspective of overseas people.
I'm sorry that there is no collection in the Chuo City Library, but it's a book worth reading.
Next time, I will take up the Shintomiza seen by Sidmore!

The fourth episode of Kyobashi Monogatari. It's a continuation from the last time.

Until the last time →　Kyobashi Monogatari [1] [2] [3]

　

This is a postcard depicting the cityscape of Minami Temmacho, which had undergone a major transformation in the Taisho era (around 1921). The postcard says "Kyobashi-dori". Currently, it is called "Chuo-dori", but in old postcards, "Ginza-dori", "Kyobashi-dori" and "Nihonbashi-dori" were printed for each location. The names of each street were sent to all over the country with photos, and the development of Tokyo was visually understood.

However, Tokyo was attacked by an event on September 1, 1923.

　

The school on this day was the opening ceremony, Saturday, and the children were trying to eat lunch about their homes. The cause of the damage was fires that occurred in various places after that, rather than the collapse of buildings due to the shaking of the 11:58 earthquake. Minami Temmacho is no exception, and the city is burned.

　

I see it from around Konyabashi, a little upstream of the Kyobashi River. The daikon riverbank at the end of the revetment of the Kyobashi River has been burned down. However, the large building in Minami Temmacho seems to have not collapsed.

I'll get close to Kyobashi and check it. The postcard below shows the bridge and Minami Temmacho over the Kyobashi River from the Ginza side. Kyobashi survived the collapse, and the buildings of the tall Daiichi Mutual Hall in the center, Daido Life on the left, 34 Bank, and Toyokuni Bank on the right have not collapsed. The "three dome roofs" remained.

In the Great Kanto Earthquake, many famous buildings collapsed. Ryounkaku (Asakusa 12th floor), which was said to be the tallest, was also damaged, and the first mutual hall in Minami Temmacho replaces the tallest building in this area. After that, the first mutual hall will look at Tokyo, which is recovering, from the highest point.

　

I will check the status of the damage caused by the earthquake from the first mutual hall. First of all, the opposite side of Ginza is the Nihonbashi area. The town directly below is the current Kyobashi 2-chome, Minami Temmacho 2-3-chome at that time.

Although it turned into a pile of rubble, the Chiyoda-kan, which was completed three months before the earthquake, did not collapse. The postcard was created by Chiyoda Life Insurance Co. We sent postcards to various places and told them that the head office building had not fallen. It seems that the purpose was to make the contractor feel safe. At that time, there was no radio yet. As information was complicated in various places, postcards functioned greatly as a media that visually conveys information about the earthquake disaster.

　

On the other hand. This postcard is also a postcard made by Dai-ichi Life Insurance. It will be Kyobashi-dori on September 28, taken from around Chiyoda-kan.

Something like huts and tents are built on the side of the road, and many people gather on the street. It can be seen that it is chaotic, but the power of those who are confronting reconstruction is also transmitted.

　

Let's check the Ginza area from the first mutual hall. Although rubble is piled up on the side of Kyobashi at the lower right, you can see that the building on the banks of the radish behind it is beginning to build something like Kariya.

In Hashigami, you can see things like wagons and rear cars, and it is in the middle of restoration. The large building on the right side of the street is the Okura Gumi Main Building, which survived the earthquake. On the left side of the street, you can see a little Matsuya's steel frame, which will open later.

　

Ginza Street was a luxury city that developed from brick streets in Meiji period. But here the end of that era was announced, and the start of a new city was started.

　

I'll check the status of other buildings. It is the direction where you can see Tokyo Station in the back. You can also see how the houses are being built and reconstructed.

The building on the left is Katakura-kan, and the right is star pharmaceutical with a diagonal window. The Katakura-kan will continue to expand and grow, but the Hoshi Pharmaceutical building has been damaged and will be rebuilt after this. The Kajibashi-dori, which runs in the middle, will be widened by the earthquake reconstruction project.

　

Due to the Great East Japan Earthquake, the marriage ceremony of His Imperial Highness Higashimiya (later Emperor Showa), which was scheduled to be held in November, has been postponed. He married on January 26 of the following year, celebrated on June 5, and a celebration tower will be built in Kyobashi.

It is a photo of the Ginza area from Minami Temmacho, but you can see that the new cityscape of Ginza has already been shaped. I guess this celebration gave new hope and courage to Ginza Street, which is recovering. Five months later, the department store Matsuzakaya will open in Owaricho on Ginza Street.

　

On the other hand, Minami Temmacho. Since the large building in this neighborhood did not collapse, from the Ginza side, it seems that the scenery has hardly changed before the earthquake. Actually looking at the postcard, I had a hard time identifying the times before or after the earthquake.

The clues were the letters written on the postcard and the ballaque-style building in front of the left hand. If this building is shown, it will be the scenery of Minami Temmacho after the earthquake.

　

It was around this time that a lot of shared buses came to be seen. This is the scenery of 1926. This year was also the year when the radio broadcasting started.

Despite the earthquake, the cityscape of Minami Temmacho, which left the scent of the Taisho era, will enter the era of Showa as if nothing had happened. From the point of view of the city of Ginza, which looks for the best way to be reborn, the streets of Minami Temmacho are nostalgic, seeming to be watching over, and may have looked strange.

　

But here suddenly a change occurred in the cityscape of Minami Temmacho.

The dome roof of the Daido Life Building on the left stretched out.

　

This Tongari roof is as if the design of the main pillar of Kyobashi in the Taisho era has been transferred. When replacing the bridge, it would not mean that foresee the future and made the design of the main pillar into a Tongari style. If anything, the city of Minami Temmacho seems to be returning to the old days rather than being reborn.

　

In any case, I think it is true that the cityscape of Minami Temmacho and the design of Kyobashi have been integrated.

In this way, the cityscape of Minami Temmacho, which survived the Great Kanto Earthquake, inherited the atmosphere of the Taisho era as it was in the Showa era, and continued to watch the city of Ginza, which is recovering.

Followed.

　

 

 

Hello, this is Minato kid.

After the Meiji Restoration, modern literature was nurtured in our Chuo-ku. Newspapers were born one after another in Ginza Brick Street, and the information industry was developed.

Speaking of Valentine's Day, I think the image of "sweet and sour" as "the day when a woman confesses to a man" was strong in the past, but recently it has been
・A woman rewards herself
・Women give each other (high quality) chocolate and other sweets.
・For some reason, men buy chocolates by women, and bags are also bought because of the rush.
・My uncle buys the chocolate he wants to eat at the event.
I feel that there is a wide variety of ways to enjoy and exploit while increasing the variety of flavors that are not only "sweet", such as "sweet".

For this reason, events to buy chocolates from all over the world are called "Sweets Collection" and "Salon de Chocolat" instead of "Valentine", and there are more options to keep up with the brand even if it is a fairly sweet party.

What is the focus of this season? "Ruby chocolate," right?

This is the new category of chocolate that appeared for the first time in 80 years following dark, milk and white.
Ruby chocolate is rare and delicate, so I visited the sweets collection at Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store to try this ruby chocolate.

By the way, Godiva's first Asian store, famous for its luxury chocolate brand, is the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store (1972).
It may not come out, but it's a trivia.

First, I purchased "Yokan au Chocolat" with "Toraya". It is a product limited to the Paris store, and it is a taste of an adult with a mixture of rum and yokan.

Next, at the venue of the Sweets Collection, I ordered Pierre Marcolini soft serve ice cream. Combination of happiness that harmonizes rich aroma of cacao with gentle strawberry.

Speaking of Pierre Marcolini, it goes back to my memories of traveling to Belgium with my boss more than 20 years ago.
At that time, I don't think there was anything in Japan that would become a luxury chocolate market as it is now. Preliminary study on business trips (?) "Is Neuhaus, Wittamer, Del Rey, etc. famous in Belgium (all are still famous)" I had gained a shallow knowledge, but the old streets ○ province I met in Belgium said, "Let's go to an up-and-coming chocolate patissier shop that won the chocolate championship," "Piermaruco" said. There were chocolates like jewels in the shop, but I think it was mainly sold in "blocks" units like large plate chocolates.


Next is the real ruby chocolate ... I went to buy Del Rey ruby chocolate that I was aiming for ..., why?
It's sold out! ！　(Other brands were sold out all the way.)
Perhaps because of its rarity, it is even more expensive even in a high-class chocolate group, so I read a sweet saying, "It will not be sold out in a rubble."

Although the set of ruby chocolate "only" was sold out, I purchased a Peter buyer who sold a set containing ruby chocolate. Collaboration of sourness unique to fruits like berry and sweetness coming later. This is a gem that you want to eat more. Will it take some time to become a little more common?

(In addition, we purchased premium wheat chocolate etc. You can enjoy a variety of flavors. Domestic wheat is also a nice point.)
Many other brands, a variety of ways of enjoying, taste, sight, smell, hearing, and touch are elaborated enough to mobilize as much as possible, and the more you know, the deeper you notice.

The "French Blend" of Miyakoshiya Coffee, which is located at the same Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store, is highly recommended as a coffee that goes well with chocolate.
Needless to say, I enjoyed chocolate while enjoying a slightly darker French blend.

 

 

I would like to introduce two of the exhibitions being held at LIXIL Gallery in Kyobashi.

One is the repair of the Fujiya Hotel.

Fujiya Hotel, a landmark in Hakone. Classic hotels, which celebrated its 140th anniversary in 2018, are well known for their many fans who want to stay again once. This time, "Hakone has a corporate culture that can be covered by everything in-house since its establishment. In the past, there were car companies and ranches, and not only laundry but also daily printed materials on their own.

The times have often changed in the wave of efficiency in circulation, but it is still the repair and repair of Fujiya Hotel's architecture and furniture and fixtures, as described in the pamphlet. It is a slightly different exhibition focusing on the work of the hotel's "repair" job.

First of all, the guest room "Hana Goten's Room Key", which is about 20x10cm. All the information cards in the hotel are also on display of the printing type used at that time, from the work of "Maintenance" to the menu card.

The other is the 18th edition of the “Future of Creation” series, “What is“ Kogei ”?...It's an exhibition.

Twelve works of ceramics, dyeing and weaving, metalwork, bamboo work, and kirikin by 12 contemporary craft artists, including two important cultural property holders (living national treasures), are exhibited. According to the supervisor Ryohei Miyata, "If we can ask what art is from the ground up by bringing together works with transmission power that make use of various materials and techniques....」

　

What a good day! I was surrounded by works and took up a luxurious time alone. We have received permission to post photos, so please enjoy the photos first, and then take a look at the venue.

Also, air may enter when it gets cold. It may expand and break.

When I opened it, the color changed. 100% is quite difficult.

One thing is free (even if there is a change)."

If it is a product that is listed in the catalog, it seems good to be finished uniformly.

Thank you very much, Mr. Shimohira.
