~ Nihonbashi Benmatsu Sohonten~
It's rosemary sea, which positions "gifts and I enjoy myself".
As I mentioned in "History" and last time "Picture Book 1", Nihonbashi Benmatsu Sohonten President Higuchi said in "< Nihonbashi Benmatsu Sohonten> Junichi Higuchi's "Nihonbashi Postcard Surprise Exhibition" is serialized.
It is currently listed up to the 5th time. I heard that it will be a series of 10 to 12 times in total.
President Higuchi personally collects "old postcards of Nihonbashi" and carefully selects them to introduce them.
Please take a look at it.

With the permission of President Higuchi, I would like to introduce "Old postcards of Nihonbashi" on this blog.
This is the second time.
Soak in the scenery of the good old Nihonbashi through an old postcard of a bridge called Nihonbashi.
Then...
This is the whole view of the Nihonbashi Fish Bank. The river is full of small boats. The bridge on the right is Edobashi.
It's not reflected, but is Nihonbashi in front of your left?
Since the opening of Edo, there has been a fish shore in Nihonbashi.
It was the fish shore of Nihonbashi, which was called the "Kitchen of Edo", but the Great Kanto Earthquake disappeared.
The fish shore moved to Tsukiji, and now to Toyosu.
The fish shore of Nihonbashi, which has been bustling for 320 years, is time changing?
It was a bridge from the Edo period. The width of the bridge is also narrow.
In front of the current stone bridge is such a bridge.
Of course, the old Nihonbashi was also a wooden balustrade bridge.
There are no statues of Kirin or lions.
The scenery at the base of the bridge is also very different from now. The carriage railway was also running.
It's Nihonbashi, a festival. It's a landscape that I can't imagine now.
This is the triumphal gate of the Russo-Japanese War, built in Nihonbashi one generation ago.
From 1904 to 38 years, you built a huge building with tension, such a thing.
It's about a week of production.
In addition to Nihonbashi, elaborate triumphal gates such as Kyobashi, Ueno, and Asakusa were built.
The Arc de Triomphe is lit up at night.
This is the celebration of the throne of the Emperor Taisho in November 1915.
His Imperial Highness the Imperial Highness of Higashimiya (later Emperor Showa). May 1919.
This is a memorial tower commemorating the throne of Emperor Showa in November 1928.
Compared to the people standing beside, is it tall enough to arrange 10 people vertically?
It's the night view of Nihonbashi. It's fantastic.
I'd like to walk around Nihonbashi like this.
・・・ Finally, I arranged various scenes of Nihonbashi.
・・・ Did you enjoy the exhibition of Nihonbashi postcards collected by President Higuchi?
Next time is an interview with President Higuchi.
