Our company was the guardian of Takarada Village outside Edo Castle in the old days of Keicho 11 (1606).

Ieyasu Tokugawa was ordered to relocate three villages, Takarada, Iwaida, and Chiyoda (currently near Kaedeyama in Miyagi) due to the expansion of Edo Castle. It was a request for the guardian of Takarada Village, and led the residents to move collectively to this area.

When Ieyasu entered the prefecture, he accompanied him from Mikawa country and accomplished this great work, and he was given Ebisu-sama, a prayer for the prosperity of the Tokugawa family. It was up to this day that he enshrined at Takarada Shrine as a guardian sacred object of worship.

The author is said to have been created by Unkei, a master of the Kamakura period.

After that, the villagers' lives were important for gold and silver exchange, Ekiden, and amphibious transportation, and Kanzo Magome became village headman and became a director of San Demma, and given the name of the town "Otemmacho" in connection with the names of the people, Ise, Suruga, Totomi, Mino, Owari, and Ieyasu.

Even today, long-established and large and small trading companies in the surrounding area are lined up and still active transactions continue. Takarada Ebisu God is a guardian deity of business prosperity and family prosperity, and the reverence spreads widely throughout the Kanto region, and the "Betara City" on October 19 and the Ebisu God Festival on October 20 are held grandly on both days every year. Will be

Bettara City celebrates Ebisu-ko today as an important annual event for merchants who are preparing to approach the end of the year and celebrate the New Year this year.

I also introduced it on the 24th, "Sea Shrine with a quiet appearance that can be reached from Ningyocho Station No.24 [Sugimori Shrine]", but every year between "Takarada Ebisu Shrine" and "Sugimori Shrine" On October 19th and 20th, "Betara City" will be held.

However, as previously reported, it has already been announced that Monday, October 19 and 20 (Tue) will be canceled to prevent COVID-19 infection.

I'm very sorry, but I'll look forward to it next year.

This time, I would like to say that I will show you the Edo classical rakugo, but this time I will remove the two characters of "classical".

It's like a rakugo that's not so old.

However, we will continue to perform the 17th performance "giboshi" by connecting "treasure" and "daikon pickles".

<Preliminary confirmation corner>

giboshi...

Is the decoration on pillars such as the balustrade of the bridge common and made of copper?

By the way, the one on the building of the temple is "Hoju".

So "giboshi of Senso-ji Temple" is rightly a jewel.

The image below is on the left side of the entrance of Kuroeya (1-2-6 Nihonbashi), which was introduced in "Eve the tradition of Edo to the present-lacquerware Kuroeya-" published on February 12, 2017, giboshi, "Nihonbashi giboshi" with the stamp of "Manji first year (1658)".

Sutokuin (Sutokuin) ...

Rakugo. It begins with the love of a young husband.

Ikuyo mochi (Ikuyo mochi) ...

Rakugo. Yoneya's servants don't fall in love with Yoshiwara's Ikudai Tayu.

Mandarin orange ...

Rakugo. Here, it refers to "Senryo mandarin orange".

For Senryo mandarin oranges, please see the 12th Edo Classic Rakugo in this series (September 7, "Shrine with a Quiet Appearance from Ningyocho Station" 20 [Ryosha Inari Shrine]).

A young husband suffers and says he wants to eat mandarin oranges in summer.

"giboshi,"

My young husband is ill.

A bear who is asked to find out the cause of the illness, that is, "what I'm worried," imitates rakugo.

"Sutokuin? How many rice cakes? Or do you want to eat mandarin oranges?"

・・・ At last, it turned out that giboshi wants to lick it.

It seems that he likes to lick hardware.

But, "Komagata Bridge, Ryogoku Bridge, Eitai Bridge ... I'm tired of licking it now, what I want to lick now is the giboshi (hoju) attached to the top of five-storied pagoda in Kin Tatsuyama Senso-ji Temple."

When I talk to my husband, that is, the father of a young husband, he seems to have that hobby, a great husband.

"I also want to lick giboshi of Senso-ji Temple, but let's give it to my son."

The great husband clashes his hand, and also attaches Senso-ji Temple's permission to help him.

Young husband, go up to the top floor of Senso-ji Temple and eat giboshi.

"What kind of taste did you like?"

Young husband "I tasted takuwan."

Husband "You are filial piety (kaka = pickles), so you tasted takuwan, how was salty? Mimasu (sho)? Gomasu?"

Young husband "Rokumasu (green blue: Rokusho, copper rust)."
