Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
This time, we will focus on songs and catchphrases, and introduce useful information for Chuo-ku sightseeing certification measures!

First of all, it's a song, but I don't say you should remember everything.
At least, let's keep the lyrics, composition, singers (if you have a representative person), and singing lyrics!
(If you can afford it, it may be a good idea to keep the performance of the lyricist / composer and the lyrics of other parts.)

■Willow in Ginza
Lyrics: 80 Saijo, composed: Shinpei Nakayama
"♪) Remnants of Yanagi Edo in Ginza who are happy to plant"

■The story of love in Ginza

■Bon Dance Song of Tsukuda Island
This Bon Odori is characterized by a monotonous rhythm turret drum and an oral song like a memorial Buddha.
It is sung as "Autumn field separation is an impermanent wind, if it scatters, everyone will not remain, and if it is enlightened, the vegetation will be the land, and the Buddha will be the southern Amitabha Buddha."

Next is the catchphrase, etc.

■Mitsukoshi Nihonbashi Main Store
Click here for a copy of the advertisement that was featured on the flyer of Japan's first Western-style theater "Imperial Theater"!
"Today is the Imperial drama tomorrow is Mitsukoshi,"



■Takashimaya Nihonbashi Store
The store newly built in 1993 (2 basement floors and 8 floors above ground) was designed by Sadataro Takahashi.
The entire building is fully equipped with air conditioning and heating, and here is a popular advertising copy!
"It's hot in Tokyo, where I left Takashimaya."


(The state of Takashimaya just before the opening of the store)

■Nihonbashi Fish Bank
Along with the daytime playhouse and Yoshihara at night, it was called "a place where a thousand cars fall in one day."

■Suitengu Shrine
In the Edo period, there were many people who threw money through fences....
Therefore, only on the 5th day, the Arima family's residence was opened to the general Edo kid, making it possible to worship.
It came to be called like this
"Suittengu of the mercy,"

■The town of Edo where wooden houses are densely packed
As typified by the great fire of the Meiryaku era (January 18, 1657), there are very many fires in the town of Edo.
It was said, "Fire and fight are the flowers of Edo."


(With the kindness of the director of the water entrance museum, Minato-ku also puts a flyer for the Chuo-ku sightseeing certification and promotes it! Thank you very much.

■Gas lamps
In 1874, the brightness of the 85 gas lamps lit in Ginza was expressed as follows.
"I changed the night to day,"



■A lantern
The work of Seibo Kitamura, which was installed at Sukiyabashi Park as a memorial tower for the 10th anniversary of the Great Kanto Earthquake.
A statue of a young man wearing a helmet holding a torch and watching a lion.
Even though it is small, the strength is transmitted.
What is written on the bronze casting nameplate of the pedestal is "continuous preparation for unexpected earthquakes."

■Edo kid temperament (Kyoden Santo)
"I saw the killer whale of Edo Castle and made tap water as a hot spring." "I don't have any money for evening."
"Food and play equipment are luxurious" and "Natural Edo no Hanuki"
Let's also check "Ikito Harima is the main territory"

■Nihonbashi
The magazine "Remarks in Gofunai" compiled by the Shogunate states, "This bridge is in the center of Edo, and the process of the countries is determined here, so Nihonbashi's name is Tofu."



How did you like that?
These are not all songs and catchphrases related to Chuo-ku, but they are not all.
Like the previous Haiku and Kawayanagi, there are many impressive things.
When walking around the town, be sure to check these out.

※In this article, we will introduce some of the reasons for this.
　If you learn the contents written here, you will not be able to pass it.
　Please include it in advance.

 

 

Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
The date of the Chuo-ku Tourism Examination Examination is approaching, but is your study progressing smoothly?
This time, I will introduce you to visiting historical sites in Chuo-ku, which also serves as a measure against Haiku and Kawayanagi.

■Mrs. Takeko Kujo, poetry monument
She was born in Kyoto as the second daughter of the gatekeeper of Nishi Honganji Temple and married Baron Yoshiyuki Kujo at the age of 21.
My husband has been living separately for nearly 10 years due to studying and working in the UK.
During that time, I studied Waka (Nobutsuna Sasaki), Painting (Shoen Uemura), and Ikebana (Nishikawa Ikusatei) and refined my talents.



The songbooks she left include "Kinsuzu" and "Kaosen" and the essay "Muyuka".
I would like to keep in mind the "Overy Things I'm going to be drawn from the great things" engraved on poetry monument in Tsukiji Honganji Temple.



■Kawayanagi, Mizutani Ryotei stone monument
His phrase, worried about the customs of Tsukuda Island and talked about Setsuyoshi Tadataka at home, can be seen on the grounds of Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine.
"I'm a gentle and hard man,"

■Bronze bell at the time of Kokumachi
This bell was installed in Honishi-cho during the time of the second shogun Hidetada Tokugawa, informing the people of Edo Castle of the time.
Because there was Nagasakiya (Dutch trading post's post office) nearby, Kawayanagi was written....
"I can hear the bell of Kokumachi to the Netherlands."

■poetry monument Takuboku Ishikawa
He joined the Asahi Shimbun in Takiyamamachi, Kyobashi-ku (currently Ginza 6-chome).
For about three years until he died at the age of 26 due to pulmonary tuberculosis, etc., he worked as a proofreader while working as a proofreader.
"Iss of the time when I became a newspaper light in Takiyamamachi in Kyobashi"



In addition, his first songbook, "A handful of Sand," begins with "Crying up by the white sand of the shores of Kojima in Tokai and hitting crabs."

■Echigo-ya
Enomoto (Takarai), one of the Juetsu Shomon and a representative of a group called Edoza (which features a flashy phrase that reflects the Edo kid's temperament), wrote such a phrase about Echigoya. .
"Echigo-ya's sound and clothespin,"
The scene seems to suddenly come to my eyes.



It's a great deal, so let's remember the other phrases at the corner together.
(We will not explain in detail here, but we recommend that you also check the background where each phrase is written!)

"The path of the crane is as expected in the spring of the sun."
"There is no day when one bell can't be sold, spring in Edo"
"I wonder if this number of boats will be cool."

■Site of Kaikaikan
Kaikaikan, which opened in 1905, is a two-story wooden ryokan in Kappo cuisine, which was relocated from Sendai City.
At that time, this area was a scenic and quiet place with a panoramic view of Tokyo Bay, so famous cultural figures stayed there.
The following is a summary of the Kaikaikan:
"Let's see the winter sea and make the New Tsukuda Sea Water Museum wabi live."
(From Isamu Yoshii's songbook "Poison Utsugi")

■19 tombs
On the left side of his tomb (Shinenzan Toyo-in), the creator of Tokaido Naka-Kurige, is located.
The phrase of a famous dictionary is engraved.
"Goodbye to ashes with the smoke of incense stick in your spare time."



■The end of Shoin Yoshida
Despite being an excellent man who raised many of the late Tokugawa shogunate soldiers, his resignation phrase, executed in the Kodemmacho prison, is set up in Kodemmacho.
"The body is kept in the Nobe of Musashi even if it does not decay,"

■Sushi
Such a phrase was written because the hand of the craftsman holding the sushi resembles a spell of ninjutsu.
"Vinegar rice held by the body of magic" (Kawayanagi haiku collection "Shufu Yanagi Taru")

I've picked up Haiku and Kawayanagi so far.
All of them are impressive things that are memorable.
If you have a phrase you don't know, why not check it before the test?

　The canal facing Harumi Island Triton Square is called the Asashio Canal.

From the downstream, this canal is Asashio Kobashi, (there is a morning tide gate), Reimei Ohashi (Ring Route 2), Reimei Bridge, and Triton Bridge.　On the Chuo-ku sightseeing guide map on hand, Harutsuki Bridge, Asashiobashi, and Asashio Ohashi are listed in the order of then. On this map, a narrow two-line line is drawn between Reimei Bridge and Harutsuki Bridge, which is a bridge dedicated to the Asashio Canal (Asao Ungasenyobashi) was bridged in the early 1960s. It was done and is open to the general public.

　Recently, when I took a walk, I learned that a new bridge was bridged. It was written as Sakura Kobashi. It was built between "Triton Bridge" and "Asashio Canal Bridge" on October 1, 2017.

"Sakura Kobashi" is a pedestrian-only bridge connecting Kachidoki 2-chome and Harumi 1-chome, and is said to have been built to reduce pedestrian congestion during the morning and evening commuting rush.

Also, next to Sakura Kobashi, there is an explanation board describing the history of the Asashio Canal, so please take a look.

 

 

　Shiwasu's annual "Beethoven Ninth Concert". From 12:00 on December 15th, at the Grand Lobby Special Venue on the 2nd floor of Harumi Triton Square, the 12th Triton Square performance of "Chuo-ku Ninth-no-kai" conducted by Yuichi Sato, was held this year. .

The Chuo-ku Ninth Association is composed of the Chuo-ku Ninth Memorial Choir organized in 2007 and the Chuo-ku Symphony Orchestra established in 1994, mainly for those who live and work in Chuo-ku. All amateurs.

The first part is the opening fanfare by the Chuo-ku Symphony Orchestra, the chorus by the Chuo-ku Tsukishima Daiichi Elementary School Choir, the chorus by the Chuo-ku Tsukuda Junior High School Volunteer Choir, and the chorus by the Chuo-ku Ninth Memorial Choir (Chuo-ku Ninth) Following the version "Edo Nihonbashi" etc.), the second part of the symphonic with Beethoven composition is the second part 9th. He was sung powerfully with Beethoven's thoughts on peace that "all humanity will be brothers" put in the ninth.

 

 

In 1878, we started in Kojimachi-ku, where the Imperial Palace is located.

Like writing the word "no" clockwise

Kojimachi, Kanda, Nihonbashi, Kyobashi, Shiba, Azabu, Akasaka, Yotsuya,
Ushigome, Koishikawa, Hongo, Shitaya, Asakusa, Honjo, Fukagawa and 15 wards were established.

Nihonbashi Ward and Kyobashi Ward merged on March 15, 1947, and there is the current Chuo-ku.

　The name of the station at Kyobashi Tsukishima Post Office is a remnant of Kyobashi-ku, Tokyo.

The scenery mark is "Tsukishima Nishinaka-dori Shopping Street and Monjayaki spatula".

　<Landscape seal: Photographed in August 2018＞

While a lot of Showa architecture remains in the city from the Taisho era, there is also one aspect where skyscrapers stand like bamboo shoots after rain. Take a leisurely stroll through the Tsukishima area, which has a lot of fun other than Monja.

How about? Try looking for an easy flow.

　We took a walk at Harumi Wharf in a sunny autumn evening. During the day, the hustle and bustle flows during the construction of Olympic-related facilities, but from the evening, a wonderful night view spreads all over. 　 　 From October this year, Toyosu Market Toyomi Ohashi has also been added. Especially in the Toyosu Market, the entire building is illuminated, making it even more beautiful. 　・・... to get to Harumi Wharf. ・・・・・ 　It takes about 20 minutes by bus bound for Harumi Wharf from Tokyo Station and is a zero-minute walk. 　It is about a 20-minute walk from the Toei Subway Kachidoki Station.
