Let's say it dignified, or both the "Kirin no Tsubasa" books and paperback books have four statues of Kirin, left and right in the center of the bridge in Nihonbashi.

As it is written in the title, it is natural that both books and paperback books are used on the cover.

You can also see the statue of Kirin, which stands between the expressways, the Nihonbashi River flowing below, and the Dock on the Sojuro Riverside.

・・・ Next, look at the cover of the book of the third installment of the "Newcomers" series, "When the Prayer Curtains Fall".

Rivers and bridges are drawn on the cover of the book "When the Prayer Curtains Down".

Please compare it.

This is a bridge that spans the mouth of Yanagibashi and Kanda River.

The left hand (south bank) of the bridge is Higashi Nihonbashi 2-chome, Chuo-ku, and the right (north bank) is Yanagibashi 1-chome, Taito-ku.

The brown building on the Taito Ward side is famous for its popular use by Kameseiro, a restaurant founded in 1854, and Ito Hirobumi.

Several literary writers have appeared "Kameseiro" in their work.

However, since November 2017, it has been closed for rebuilding.

Until then, the Sumo Yokozuna Council has been held here.

※　"Yanagibashi" will be described in detail at a later date.

In the novel "When the Prayer Curtains Fall", there was the name of "Yanagibashi" in May among the 12 bridges written on the calendar, which was the key to the incident.

However, unlike other covers, "Yanagibashi" is not the center of the story.

To put it simply, it is positioned as the last bridge where the Kanda River flows into the Sumida River, the lowest bridge.

From the base of this bridge and the boat inn located upstream, a houseboat goes out to the Sumida River through Yanagibashi.

In addition, this bridge will be used as a boat route going up the Kanda River.

It is also a starting point for traveling around 12 bridges by boat, as depicted in the novel.

However, in the movie "When the Prayer curtain falls", a scene close to the end (not written in a novel) is filmed and appears.

Then, the cover of the paperback book "When the curtain of prayer comes down" is ...

The cover of the book "When the Prayer curtain descends" depicts the theater.

This is the central stage of this novel, Meijiza.

Although the angle is slightly different, the image received from Meijiza shows that the inside of Meijiza's theater is almost exactly depicted.

In connection with Meijiza's "When the curtain of prayer goes down", it was published on January 16, 2018, just before the movie was released as "Movie" when the curtain of prayer goes down "Location tour 10".

The article of the movie "When the Prayer Curtains Fall" Release Commemorative Backstage Tour in February of the following year was also published three times in the same month.

Mr. Kigure of Meijiza Advertising Department Co., Ltd. also gave consent to this publication.

All of these books were borrowed from the Nihonbashi Library in Chuo Ward.

The Chuo City Library has borrowed reservations from Friday, May 29 and resumed lending books on bookshelfs on June 1 (Mon).

On May 29, we received a notice of the arrival of the book on loan.

When I visited, there were a lot of books I wanted to borrow.

For a while, I would like to ride a hammock and read it, but ...

I'm still busy and seem impossible.
