Satsuki's carp streamer

For the first time

In November, the application for the Chuo-ku Tourism Test started this year, and the 13th theme was

Visit the history of the bank for "Chuo-ku and Eiichi Shibusawa" and visit the neighborhood of Kabutocho, Chuo-ku.

I went.

 

 

 

For the first time

Dai-ichi Kunitachi Bank, the first modern bank opened in Japan led by Eiichi Shibusawa.

 

 

 

For the first time

Although there is a national government, it repeatedly integrates with private banks and leads to the current Mizuho Bank.

It is said that the bank code "0001" is under the flow of this "Daiichi National Bank".

It is said that this Nisshokan was built on the site of the former Eiichi Shibusawa residence.

The birthplace of postal mail

The first story of the birthplace of postal mail

Next, the birthplace of postal mail, Nihonbashi Post Office

The postal system was started between Tokyo and Osaka, but before that, sending letters was chartered.

It seems that it was very expensive because it was delivered.

 

Here at Nihonbashi Post Office, I wanted to see a red round post, but I didn't have it.

(I think there was a few years ago.)

The red round post that everyone knows, called "Nakamura-style post", this "Nakamura-san" is a bit far away but has something to do with me.

I recently learned that my wife's aunt (S) grandfather is the designer of this post, Mr. Nakamura.

According to Mr. S, there seems to be another candidate, but he said that this Nakamura style post was adopted in the final stage.

This was on display at the Posts and Telecommunications Museum, but it is true that "Nakamura style post".

I can't see this round post anymore, but could you leave it at Nihonbashi Post Office, where the mail originated?
