Side story of lost stone

The other day, the commercial of JR Central, which became popular during the bubble period, became a hot topic on the Internet. It is an unfolding on the music of Tatsuro Yamashita of "I'm sure you won't come!"

The reason why it became a hot topic over time is that it is interesting that the commercial was fine and analyzed in detail, and that the commercial reflected the world in an unexpected way, but Riho Makise There is a scene where the hero who plays rushes in the station yard and hits a stranger and drops his luggage.

Yes, it is a risk to meet at a large station in an era when there is no mobile phone, and the weight of lateness is different from the era where you can feel free to contact with message apps as it is now. That's why I'm going to be late. (That commercial seems to have been surprised to see the station, and it seems that there was a situation that could not be delayed even further.) Generations who can not imagine the situation may think that running itself is "Why?"

By the way, Needless to say, if parents and children were separated due to disasters such as large fires in the Edo period or unexpected things, it must have been a major thing that can not be imagined from now on.

There is also an article called "I made a lost tag for 2,000 people and gave it free of charge" (1878, Yomiuri Shimbun) so that people named Shozo Yamauchi in Kandaiwamotocho can easily find it even if they get lost.

Also, Hanjiro Kanebo, who lives in Kanda, around 1874, used two places on the east side of Ryogoku Bridge and the former Manseibashi (Meganebashi) Nishizume as a means of searching for lost children. It is said that the "lost stone" was built on its own, and the "lost parent" and the "custodian" exchanged information with the characteristics of the child at the designated position.

In 1906, the extension of the Kobu Railway (currently Chuo Line) progressed from Ochanomizu to Manseibashi, and it was necessary to replace Manseibashi (Megane Bridge). Kobu Railway Company negotiated with Hanjiro Kanebo's bereaved family about the disposal of "Lost Stone" near the bridge.

It seems that there was a statement saying, "I'm going to move to Shinmanyo Bridge if I'm sorry, and save it as a commemorative memorial to remember the time of the police in the Edo era (Yomiuri Shimbun)". However, it is said that there is no "rast stone" such as preservation now.


Considering that, I think that it is located at the base of Ichiishibashi while overcoming the many dangers of removal, and the value of the existing stray stones will increase. (The photo at the beginning is Ichiishibashi, which can be seen far from Nihonbashi.)
