In December 1659 (1659), a prostitute with Shirozaemon Miuraya, 1-chome Shinyoshiharakyocho, a flower town in Edo, and is the highest rank of prostitute namedhaikai, the second generation of Dayu Takao Shijo.

The birthplace was the daughter of Noshu (Yashu: Shimonokuni [Shimotsuki no Kuni]: current Tochigi Prefecture), Shiobara Shiogama Village, who was 19 years old at the time.

Takao was favored by the Sendai feudal lord Tsunamune Date and was entrusted with a lot of money, but she was already intent, and she was maneuvered and did not follow the weather, so she finally bought anger and was hung on a tower boat around Mitamata (now Nakashu) on the Sumida River, and was thrown away in Kawanaka.

A few days later, the body drifted ashore on the banks of Kita-Niihori in Okawabata, and it is said that a monk who had set up an hermitage there at that time was withdrawn and buried it carefully.

The sympathy of the people gathered at Takao's pitiful end path, built a company there, worshiped her divine spirit Takao Daimyojin, and made it Takao Inari Shrine.

At present, it is very rare for Inari-sha in Japan, and the real divine spirit (real skull) is enshrined inside the company as enshrined deity.

Since the Edo period, many people came to worship until the early Showa period, and stalls in fair flourished.

A wish and a deity

Head-related worries (headache, neurose, thin hair, etc.), Akira business connection, marriage, achievement of school work.

On the occasion of a request, we received a comb from this company, prayed with Takao Daimyojin in the morning and evening.

A phrase that Takao is said to have given to Sendai weather

　　"You are now around Komagata."

A phrase of resignation

　　"Is it decaying autumn leaves like cold winds?"

Takao Inari Shrine is currently under construction due to aging.

This is a temporary company during the construction period.

The new Inari Shrine will be completed in the spring of 2022.

(Construction is ongoing at the location of the old company on the left side of this company.)

This time, we will also show the Edo classical rakugo.

It was the 24th time.

This time, it is not necessary to choose, but the story of this company, "Sendai Takao".

<Preliminary confirmation corner>

When I introduced the classical rakugo, the 20th Takao Kouya, in "No.28, a shrine with a quiet appearance that can be reached from Ningyocho Station" published on November 5, "Sendai Takao" I also talked a little about it.

I said that this is not a so-called happy ending, but this time it is exactly related to the story, so it was introduced.

"Sendai Takao"

"Takao," The Daimyoseki, which has been handed down from generation to generation by Miuraya, the best Omize in Yoshiwara.

Above all, a prostitute with a good amount of jumping and excellent performing arts, which is commonly called "Date Takao".

Sendai, who received a letter with Haiku, said, "The handprints and sentences are wonderful. It's pity to be purchased with money, and take it to the remaining mansion. " And ask Takao.

I'd like to ask you, but Takao is not at the will of Sendai.

He made a houseboat from Shibashiodome's mansion in the clear away of the worries, and pulled the Noh people into a boat and started a powerful boat.

Even if you give a cup to Takao, which is blocked, you will not be able to receive it at all.

Takao says, in fact, there is a person who promised the couple, Shigesaburo Shimada, a ronin, so I want you to give up.

Sendai, who was said to be neatly, pulls his sword and approaches Takao.

There is the sound of the drum of the Noh performances of the pulling boat ...

(From here, it will be like a song.)

Prince Sendai, "Takao, why don't you flutter?"

Takao "No ~" (This will be the shout of the song.)

Sendai slashes Takao with "Ponpon" on the shout. ・・・

Nearby is the monument of the Bank of Japan's founding.

・・・

In 1881, Masayoshi Matsukata, who was appointed Lord of Finance, proposed the establishment of a central bank to stabilize currency value after subsided the confusion by the implementation of austerity measures. The Bank of Japan Ordinance was promulgated in June 1882, and in October of the same year, the Bank of Japan was founded in Kita-Shinbori-cho, Nihonbashi-ku (now Nihonbashihakozakicho).
