Where did you go to the "Street Three Lacquerware Shop"? Only Mr. Kuroeya remained
On May 4, 2015, we published a blog titled "giboshi and Giboushi (Plants)" and introduced that giboshi during the Edo period was located in Kuroeya in Nihonbashi. Mr. Urushihara of Kuroeya read this and seemed to have a good feeling, so I contacted the Chuo-ku Tourism Association. I was informed of that fact, so it was a good opportunity, so I visited on June 1 to ask Mr. Kuroeya's recent situation. About Kuroeya's business and history, Rosemary Sea reports twice in detail in 2017, so please take a look at that blog. I would like to introduce the history of Nihonbashi lacquerware shops, which I have not mentioned much. Mr. Urushihara also received materials that will be helpful for writing this time, and has been approved for publication.
By the way, do you know that Japan = japan (the first letter is lowercase letter) refers to lacquerware? The theme of this blog is "Kuroeya", so this is another opportunity.
From the time of Edo Genroku, there were three lacquerware shops in Nihonbashi Torimachi. These were collectively called "Sorisanken" and were familiar until before the war. "Kiya", "Kinto" and "Kuroeya".
In the past, there was Kochichichi Kiya (Kubei, booth-colored wholesaler / paint wholesaler) in Muromachi 2-chome.
Founded in 1573 in the first year of Tensho (1573), the first Kubei Hayashi went to Edo at the invitation of Ieyasu Tokugawa and opened. I divided it into two stores, one in Osaka, so I divided my last name "forest" into two parts and named it "Kiya". Lacquerware wooden shop has been in business since the end of Edo period. At Muromachi 2-chome in Hirodai Shoran, there is Kochichi Kiya (Kubei, booth goods wholesaler / paint wholesaler). It seems that it was under contract at the time of the picture scroll creation, and I can't see the shop. This is a branch of Kiya, which is famous for its knives, but it has been annexed to a knives store of the same series, and lacquerware is not currently handled.
There was "Kinto" in Tori 2-chome.
If you refer to `` Tokyo City 15 Wards and Connected County 4 County Cadastre Map and Cadastre Register '', Yamamotoyama is located at the lower left of `` Street 1, 2-chome, Sanaicho, Hiramatsucho, Kawase Kokumachi '' in `` Nihonbashi Ward '' There is a laver shop. The opposite lotus is "Kinto Lacquerware Store". The map above is equivalent to a map of the Edo period, so it is written as "Fujiemon Kobayashi", the land owner, instead of "Kinto".
Around 1846, I left Saitama to Edo and set up a store in Jukubun Yokocho near Nihonbashi-dori Minami 2-chome. It seems that this Yokocho was commonly called as this because everything was sold in nineteen sentences. In 1907, the name was changed to Kinto in 1907 because it was mistaken for "Kondo" because it was mistaken for "Kondo" by combining Oomi-ya and "Fuji" by Kobayashi Fujiemon. Since then, as a lacquerware specialty store, we have actively expanded our sales channels and made a fortune. In 1929, the owner, Fujiemon Kobayashi, built a five-story building with a total tsubo of 1,089 tsubo (3,600 m2), making the eyes of others.
"Kuroeya" of Tori 1-chome (now Nihonbashi 1-chome)
It is said that the founder of the Kuroeya lacquerware store went to Edo from Kuroe-mura, Kii Kuninaso-gun in 1689, and opened a lacquerware store in Honmachi 4-chome. Masamasa Kashiwara, the sixth generation of the Kashiwabara family, is a M&A of Kuroeya. Diversification seems to be the creed of the Kashiwabara family's business), and since then it has been the Kashiwabara family's business, relocated to 1-chome and Nishikawagishicho in the spring of Ansei 3 (1856) as it is now. I will continue.
According to the "Edo Shopping Sogo Guide" published in Bunsei 7 (1824), Edo's paint merchants are divided into ten pairs, first and second groups, with a total of 25 houses. Kuroeya occupied the second place after Toshisuke Iseya of Muromachi 1-chome, and served as Ooku's use, various daimyo, and flag books. At the same time as the opening of the port in 1859, we also opened a branch in Yokohama.
After World War II, we started to recover the damage caused by the war, rebuilt the store, and in cooperation with local production areas, it has been a long-established lacquerware since Edo.
