"Yagura", two symbol clock towers built across Ningyocho-dori, completed in November 2009 (2009).

Each of the two units has a different taste.

This is "Karakuri Ogura (Edo Rakugo)" introduced last time and two times before.

When the lower stage curtain (Doncho) opens, a doll of a storyteller appears.

Rakugo artist Danko Tatekawa's creative story "The origin of Ningyocho" flows.

When the picture in the upper row rotates, the streets of Edo and the lives of the townspeople are reproduced.

This is the turret of the person to be introduced this time, "Machi Fire Extinguishing".

It's an angle from the Suitengu side.

Karakuri Oguramachi fire extinguisher

Among the town fire extinguisher "Iroha 47 sets" in the Edo period, "Hagumi" was in charge of the neighborhood of Ningyocho.

Dolls that reproduce the costumes of the time will show "ladder (ladder) riding" and "Matoi raising".

The flowing song is "Kiri", which jumpers sing at festivals and other events.

The members of the Edo Fire Memorial Association 1st ward 8th "Hagumi" provided the cooperation of materials and advice.

Start time About 2 minutes from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm

Completed in November 2009

・・It is written.

In other words, like Karakuri Ogura (Edo Rakugo), it moves nine times a day at just from 11:00 to 19:00.

And the singing voice of woodwork flows for about 2 minutes.

This Karakuri tower (town fire extinguisher) is 7m55cm high.

The other Karakuri Ogura (Edo Rakugo) is 6m50cm in height, so it is more expensive to extinguish the town, but it is a slightly less noticeable because it is inferior in width and flashiness of the picture on the way.

However, in terms of rosmari, the movie "When the Prayer Curtains Fall" in the "Newcomer Series" was close to Daikanonji Temple and Ningyocho Intersection, and left an impression on the background of Hiroshi Abe, the leading role.

When shooting the TV drama "Newcomer" 10 years ago, it was just completed and the unknown "Karakuri Ogura".

Two and a half years ago, when shooting the movie "When the Prayer Curtains Fall", it was known as a symbol of Ningyocho.

・・・ I would like to introduce this part of "woodworking" this time.

This "woodworking" doll doesn't work much.

However, unlike the doll of the storyteller of the Karakuri Ogura (Edo Rakugo), there is no curtain, etc., and the doll is always visible.

It's a place to sing a woodworking song, so you don't need much movement.

But the dolls on both sides, right and left, have their feet floating.

When the woodworking song starts, the light is lit up.

And the doll in the foreground and back tilted a little ...

It will also return to the original skull.

・・・ Next time, I would like to introduce this "Karakuri Ogura (town fire extinguisher)" and "ladder riding" at the top.
