The Seven Wonders of Rei Kishijima, which has been handed down since the Edo period, known to those who know it.
Hello. I'm Hanes, an active correspondent.
When I was just a correspondent, I introduced the well-known "Hatchobori Seven Wonders".
However, did you know that there is another "Seven Wonders" in Chuo-ku?
Another interesting stage of the Seven Wonders is Rei Kishi Island!
According to the "Seven Wonders Seen in Edo Town and Records" of the Edo Fukagawa Museum in Koto-ku, this is recorded as "Seven Wonders of the ancient times of Rei Kishijima" in the "Experience Miscellaneous" of Jukataan Daijo Keijun. You.
[The Seven Wonders of Reigishi Island]
1. Thunder does not fall on Reigishi Island
2. Even if the southern sky is planted on Reigishi Island, there is no fruit.
3. The Yakushi at Enkaku-ji Temple on Reigishi Island is evening Yakushi, so there are no visitors on the 8th and 12th of fair.
4. Mr. Konpira also had no worshipers on the 10th of fair
5. Although it is a soba shop, there is a shop called Yoneya Sanzaemon.
6. There is a public bath called Guriya Kibei
7. There is a lumber shop called Shichiroemon Hanaya
I'm worried about this, but I'd like to focus on the first lightning strike and the second southern sky.
These two wonders are related to the Honorable Reigan, who once opened Reiganji Temple on Reigan Island.
What is often said is an episode in which this superior prayed to Shinto and Buddha to avoid lightning strikes in exchange for southern heaven.
I really want to check if the real thing of the southern sky is true ^^
The aforementioned Reiganji was burned down by the great fire of the Meiryaku era that occurred in 1657 and moved to Fukagawa.
Today it is located in Shirakawa, Koto-ku, and is known for having his grave because it was the Bodaiji temple of Sadanobu Matsudaira, who was Shirakawa feudal lord.
Next is the third and fourth wonder about fair.
The first place is Yakushi Nyorai's fair on the 8th and 12th of every month, and Kompira's fair on the 10th of every month.
However, Yakushi Nyorai of Enkaku-ji Temple was fair on the seventh and eleventh of every month, one day earlier than the actual fair.
There is also a story that the temple was abandoned in the Meiji era because it did not carry it over until the 8th and 12th....
Also, Kompira of Hakozaki had fair on the 9th one day earlier.
So why was it a day early?...It's still strange in me.
I would like to extend my range to the religious situation of the Edo period and continue to investigate it.

The last is the fifth to seventh, but according to the materials of the Edo Fukagawa Museum, it is stated that "one side as a machiya appears", but we have not yet reached an answer that can be understood because of the small amount of information .
Fifth, at that time there was a soba shop called Yoneya Sanzaemon in Minatomachi, Reigishijima (both Minatomachi).
Despite having been running soba shops for generations, the name of the shop is Yoneya....
It's my own guess, but in modern times, there are many cases where the owner's surname or family's name is used as a store name. It may have been named after Yoneya Sanzaemon.
Sixth, the bathhouse called Guriya Kibei in Shiroganecho, and the seventh, the lumber shop called Hanaya Shichirouemon in Kawaguchimachi are considered to be a person's name.
As a matter of fact, I don't know why it became such a store name, but I'm more worried about the Seven Wonders of Rei Kishijima.
Yeah
Although it was taken up, the Seven Wonders of Rei Kishijima, which is still shrouded in mystery.
The news from the Kyobashi Library's local room introduces one of the seven wonders of Rei Kishijima, saying, "Tsujiban Dodo does not open."
There may be several variations in this Seven Wonders depending on the times.
Such wonders are related to Matsudaira Echizen Moriyashiki.
According to the newsletter from the local room, in this mansion, where Ako Gishi was on the way from Kira's house to Sengakuji Temple, it was troublesome when the Shogunate collected the circumstances when passing the Gishi. There is no tsujibansho, "he said, so he couldn't open the door the next day.
Rei Kishijima (Shinkawa) may be a place that you do not visit for sightseeing in Chuo-ku, but the legends and history that are still interesting, including the Seven Wonders, are sleeping without knowing it.
Next time, I would like to pay attention to Matsudaira Echizen Moriyashiki and Echizen moat!
