Hello everyone! It's Kazuyoshi.

This time, I would like to introduce the Tsukuda area near Tsukishima Station!

The current Tsukuda area originates from Tsukuda Island, which was reclaimed in the early Edo period. Tsukuda Island was reclaimed and developed in the early Edo period by fishermen from Tsukuda Village in Osaka (now Tsukuda, Nishiyodogawa-ku, Osaka-shi, Osaka-shi, Osaka). At the time of the change of Honnoji, Ieyasu Tokugawa was in Osaka and was in danger of life with only a few ally. The fishermen of Tsukudamura appeared as saviors there, and Ieyasu was saved because they provided fishing boats to Ieyasu. Later, when Ieyasu moved to Edo, he brought the fishermen of Tsukudamura, their benefactors who saved his life, to Edo.

This Tsukuda area is barely escaped from the earthquake and war damage, and still retains the impression of the Edo period. It features a cityscape that combines old and old landscapes such as shrines and new landscapes such as high-rise apartments. Since the reclamation of Tsukuda Island in the Edo period, the construction of Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine, a guardian god in the Tsukuda area, the construction of shipyards and heavy industrial areas, and the construction of ultra-high-rise residential areas through redevelopment. By the way, the scenery part of the photo also appears in the shogi anime "Lion in March"!

At present, the declaration of a state of emergency has finally been lifted in TokyoCOVID-19, and it is now possible to go out. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to new developments in work styles and lifestyles, such as the spread of remote work. Like the Tsukuda area, which has developed through the fusion of old and new, in the after-corona world after COVID-19 calmed down, I would like to move forward by combining old and new things well!
