470 years since the unification of the world!
Search for Hideyoshi-related spots in Chuo-ku
Hello. The active activity is Hanes, who has been resting for a while.
The other day, I heard that this year is the 470th anniversary of the unification of the world by Hideyoshi Toyotomi.
So, as I previously wrote "I feel Sekigahara in Chuo-ku" on September 15, this time I decided to look for places related to Hideyoshi Toyotomi in Chuo-ku and summarize them!
I think Hideyoshi Toyotomi has a strong image of Osaka, but is there a place related to him in Chuo-ku?
Yagenbori Fudoin
The first thing I would like to introduce is Yagenbori Fudoin, located in Higashinihombashi.
Known as the birthplace of the talk, the birthplace of Juntendo University, is there any relationship with Hideyoshi?
First of all, pay attention to the background of that era because it was built in 1585 and when Hideyoshi was active.
Then, in the history of this Fudoin, `` When Negoro-ji Temple in Kishu was attacked by Hideyoshi Toyotomi's army, the great Indian monk capital of the temple descended to the eastern country to protect the statue and built Dou on the banks of the Sumida River. "(From "Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia")!
(Don't miss the dedicated Yagenbori Shichimi pepper!)
It is said that Acalanatha in main deity with such a background was enshrined at Negoro-ji Temple by Kakuban Jojin, who is said to be the founder of Shingon sect Chuko.
Although indirect, I was able to see the connection with Hideyoshi in unexpected places!
Nihonbashi
Next, I noticed Nihonbashi.
It is said that it was built by Ieyasu Tokugawa in 1603, but when you move the stage to Osaka, there is also a bridge and place name called "Nipponbashi".
Nihonbashi in Osaka was built across the Kishu Kaido across the Dotonbori River.
The construction of the highway has been progressing since Hideyoshi's expedition to Kishu, but the bridge was completed only after Hideyoshi died.
Nihonbashi in Osaka was designated as a public bridge during the Edo period and is known as an important bridge.
Although the relevance with Hideyoshi fades, let's briefly explore the origins of the name Nihonbashi in Tokyo.♪
Nihonbashi, which is familiar in Chuo-ku, was built as a temporary bridge with two logs over the river when Edo Castle was built, so the construction workers called "Nihonbashi", which became the bridge name. It is said that it became.
CAM, a senior correspondent, considers the origin of the name Nihonbashi in detail in "The origin of the name of Nihonbashi (2)", so if you want to know more about it, please take a look.
Money Museum
Next, I will look for something that is related to Hideyoshi indoors.
Also in Nihonbashi, the real gold coins (large size) made by Hideyoshi are displayed.
According to the Money Museum-Japanese monetary history "Early Modern", Hideyoshi said, "I seized mines in various countries and made coins that serve as standards for the Tensho era large format."
When it comes to the Warring States period, people tend to pay attention to battles and castles, but it seems interesting to Fukahori the reign of Hideyoshi from policy.♪
Muromachi Sandbox
Finally, we will focus on Muromachi Sandbox, a soba shop, and explore the relationship with Hideyoshi from foods that are related to Edo.
Previously, a senior correspondent Tom Shimomachi's article, "The New Year's Soba is in your favorite style ... (^-^)", said, "The name of" Sandbox "is originally from the construction of Osaka Castle There was a delicious soba shop near the place where the sand was placed, and it began to be called "sandbox" someday. "
It's not directly related to Hideyoshi, but this time, when I called Osaka Castle (Osaka Castle) construction, I took it up as Hideyoshi.♪
During the Keicho era (1596-1615), the method of soba cutting (the ancestor of thinly boiled soba) was already widespread, and at its peak, nearly 4,000 soba shops lined up throughout Edo City. It is said that.
I myself don't eat out very much, but this time I learned about such unexpected facts and wanted to eat Osaka roots in Chuo-ku, where the remnants of Edo remain.
Yeah
This time, as spots related to Hideyoshi, I introduced Fudoin, bridges and place names, museums, soba shops, etc. in multiple genres, how was it?
Since Hideyoshi's home was not Edo, I didn't find many directly related things, but I was surprised that there was a spot related to him!
This time, not only in the literature, but also by examining how a specific history lives in everyday life, there was an interesting discovery.
