Shiwasu is the season of "Chushingura" in Kabuki. Nothing has been loved and handed down by Japanese for as long as "Chushingura" STORY.

"Kanademoto Chushingura" is the best known Kabuki Kyogen known as "Dosanyu" (notic medicine) since the performance at Kabuki in puppet ballad drama in 1748, a little later. This December, Kyoto Minamiza "Senishi Yashiki", Heisei Nakamuraza, one of the Chushingura's foreign biography "Matsuura Taiko", is being performed, and on December 14, I decided to watch three parts of "Genroku era Chushingura" in the country. (Of course, December 14, Genroku 15 (1702) is the lunar calendar.) Seika Mayama's 10 Genroku era Chushingura works were born several times since the big hit of the kana model Chushingura, but they are highly regarded as masterpieces because they are almost faithful to historical facts based on carefulChushingura's historical evidence.

Today's performances are three parts: "Edo Castle's blade wound", "Mihama Goten Tsunatoyo" and "Oishi's last day". Of these, "Mihama Goten Tsunatoyo" is Yoshiemon Tsunatoyo of Yoshiemon Nakamura and Sukeemon Tominomori of Matagoro, Kansyo Arai of Umetama, Kisei, Shiba Sparrow, Goyu-sho Eshima, Kaiharu.

This stage, "Mihama Goten", is the current Hamarikyu, and Hamarikyu is often featured in this blog, so it is not necessary to introduce it again, but Kofu feudal lord Matsudaira Tsunashige worshiped from his brother's fourth shogun Iezuna, reclaimed the sea and made it a Shimoyashiki, and Tsunashige's child, Tsunashige's child, became the Rokudai Shogun Ie Ie House. The stage was when Kofu Seiso Tsunatoyo used it as a Shimoyashiki.

The first act has just been restored this year, "Matsu no Chaya". There is a line in the play that "Odaisho is in a teahouse in Nakanoshima", but it is said that both teahouses were established in the 11th Ienari.

This Tsunataka later became the sixth shogun Ienobu, and the concubine Kisei became the concubine Tsukikoin, the son after the death of Ienobu was the seventh shogun Ietsu, and Gosuke Eshima became the Ooku Oyoro Eshima 12 years later, that "Eshima Ikushima" incident (1714) will occur.

The Eshima and Ooku women who caused this incident were invited to Yamamura-za, one of the "Goto" kimono merchant Goto Sodensuke, who was the origin of the name of Ichiishibashi. On January 12, the Shogunate's Sata came out on March 5, and Goto Sekimon in Kibori-cho was closed. The residence of Goto Seidensuke was located in Edo Gofukumachi on the south side of Ichiishibashi, but the Goto family, a kimono merchant, seems to have continued until around late Tokugawa shogunate.

"Eshima Ikushima" was a dance drama by Shigure Hasegawa in the Meiji era, entered the Showa era, and "Ejima Ikushima", a novel by Shoichi Funahashi in the Meiji era, entered the Showa era, and converted a novel by Shoichi Funahashi into Kabuki. Is known. (Details are unknown because they haven't seen it because they haven't performed much.) Many people may have seen it as a TV drama.

The National Theater presents an old map of the place that appears in the Genroku era Chushingura, which is being performed this month, as the "land of connection". It's a very good idea.

 

 

 The only one in Tokyo Hamarikyu Onshi Garden, a representative daimyo garden with a pond with tide and two duckbas (the existing Kamoba are five places nationwide), Koshindo Kamoba and Shinsenza Kamoba.

The water in the pond connected to the sea is brackish water mixed with seawater and freshwater. For this reason, fish such as bora, seigo, goby and eel live in the pond, and the rocks and stones arranged around the pond are crawled with Benkeigaji and crumbia.

In the past, Kamoba was used from late autumn when winter birds fly to early spring of the following year. Even now, the park is surrounded by waterways on all sides, is dotted with ponds, and has a sense of liberation. At this time, in addition to resident birds such as Indian spot-billed duck, herons, little grebe and cormorants, migratory bird such as tufted duck, Hoshihajiro, northern pintail, Eurasian wigeon, green-winged teal, etc. dike is built on the shore side, and many Japanese plums are flocked.

 Tekkinro is a very formal and historical restaurant that has been visited for 30 years.

I've come to hear that you can enjoy lunch at a common price.

The name of the shop is Tesshu Yamaoka, one of the three boats in late Tokugawa shogunate, or Koyo Ozaki visited the store, and Kappo cuisine opened in 1873.　

 

 

By the way, you can easily enjoy it from Tendon 1,000 yen.　Today, I received a Tensashizen ￥1,900.　As soon as I entered the store, I received a freshly fried chicken with a kind voice saying, "If you want to eat tempura, please go to the counter." I started my hand from sashimi and got freshly fried tempura in order.

Sashimi was natural red sea bream, tuna inside, something that seemed to be a blue crow pirate, fresh and very delicious. Tenfura is made of turf 2, kinusaya, anako and pumpkin one after another.　The dessert was also refined.

Neighbor regulars and Oboshiki, who entered the store after 1:00 pm, were ordering Tendon.　Here, you can use the common eating and drinking right (happy meal ticket) in Chuo-ku, and you can also enjoy meals at a great price. Click here for the shop's website. http://www.tekkinro.com/

Katsushika Hokusai painting with the defeat of Kira's House

When I notice this year again, I'm terrified. More than 300 years ago, at midnight on December 14 (old calendar), Yoshiko Ako entered Kira's residence (3-chome Ryogoku, Sumida-ku).

 

 

 

A historical site related to Ako Gishi who remains in Chuo-ku is Takumi Asanouchi's residence (12 Akashi-cho).

 

This is the site of the Edo main residence of Akaho feudal lord and Takumi Asanouchi Chonori.

 

 

 

 

 

This Ako Asano Family Gunsu Kamiyashiki figure was found in 2007 at the descendant's house of the Asano Family.

The area is 8,974 tsubo 8 go (about 29,600 square meters), and it seems that the building layout is almost the same as Ako Castle (Ako City, Hyogo Prefecture).

 

In "Edo Castle Transition Picture Book-Ofunai Historical Book-"

Genroku era Nakanogata (1688-1704)

Kyoho Nakanogata (1716-1736)

After the clan was crushed, you can see that the place where the Kamiyashiki was also split.

However, the back gate of this Kamiyashiki has been relocated as the gate of the burial ground of Ako Gishi at Sengakuji Temple (2-chome Takanawa, Minato-ku).

I went to Sengakuji Temple on November 26, but there were uninterrupted visitors to visit burial ground, Ako Gishi, and incense stick was raised to each grave of Gishi.
