Later Nagasakiya

There is the above explanation board at the subway, Shin-Nihonbashi Station No. 4 (4-4 Nihonbashi Muromachi). But there is no description of late Tokugawa shogunate's Nagasakiya. I looked into how Nagasakiya changed when it changed from late Tokugawa shogunate to Meiji. Genemon Ehara from Nagasaki was allowed to enter Edo in 1592 (Bunroku Gen) and became the first Nagasakiya Genemon. It was a medicinal wholesaler of the Shogunate, but in 1735 (Kyoho 20), it was designated by the Shogunate as a Tang ginseng and exclusively sold Tang ginseng (Korean ginseng). Dutch trading post's stay was in the first half of the 17th century, but it was the last time that Joseph Henry Levison, chief of the Dutch trading post, spent April 10-May 4, 1850 (Kaei 3) with a German doctor Monique. The 11th Genemon was burned down many times due to frequent fires in the Nihonbashi area, so he applied for a relocation and in 1859 (Ansei 6), Shogun Funamatsucho 2-chome (currently Akashicho 6) Move to Akashi Coast). Here, the signboard of the Edo Nagasaki Kaisho is fried and the "Bansho Sales Office" (sale of imported Dutch books from Nagasaki) and the "bid payment" of Western guns are performed.

However, in 1868 (Keio 3), the area around Akashicho was decided as a foreign settlement, so he was forced to move to a landfill in Minami-Iida-cho downstream of the Sumida River (the wharf at the bottom left of the figure below is Nagasakiya. It seems to be the relocation destination. The map was used in 1876. Furthermore, in 1869 (Keio 4), the new government ordered Genemon to hand over all items, including guns and Western books at the Edo Nagasaki Kaisho, to the opening of the gunshot government office. In addition, a wharf (loading site) and a landing place (Customs) at Tsukiji Reservation Site will be built in the place of residence, and you will be forced to leave the mansion again.

The eleventh Genemon moved to Honjo Koumecho and died in 1885 (Meiji 8). Nagasakiya, which went out of Nagasaki to Edo and prospered with the Tokugawa family, was along with the history of the Tokugawa family, and it can be said that it ended with its destruction. In order to write this blog, "Edo was still a isolation by Kazuo Katagiri", "Kogejuku Nagasakiya and Tsukiji Hotel Museum Minoru Muraoka", "Kyobashi Library Local Room Newsletter No. 34 Nagasakiya in the Sunset" etc. I referred to it.
