I'm also in Chuo-ku! Cows rich in individuality


Hello. I'm Hanes, an active correspondent.
This year is the year of the Ox, so I wrote last year, "I'm in Chuo-ku! As a sequel to "Individually Rich Cats", I went around a spot about cows in Chuo-ku!
Please enjoy it while predicting what kind of place it is.♪

Kyodai Shoran

The first thing I would like to introduce is a reproduction picture scroll of "Kidai Shoran", which is about 17 meters long, installed on the underground concourse wall of Mitsukoshimae Station.
This picture scroll is a bird's-eye view of the main street (currently Chuo-dori) from Nihonbashi to Imagawa Bridge around 1805, from the east side, and a clear picture of the townspeople's culture of the Edo period.
The original painting is held at the National Museum of Asian Art, Berlin.

The photo above shows the part of the Juken store, and unfortunately there are no cows, but this picture scroll shows four cows.
When you use this station, why not stop a little and look for four cows?
If you live far away or want to enjoy it online, please visit the website of the original collection.

Tsukiji Honganji

Next, Tsukiji Honganji!
As you may know, many sculptures by Chuta Ito are applied to pillars, walls, and stair railings.
Among them, cows that were adopted in the design of the worship commemorative card are also included.
I would like to introduce you in detail the next time I interviewed, but did you know that there is a manhole designed with the sculpture of the cow?

This has also been introduced in public relations magazines published by Tsukiji Honganji, and there are other manholes with sculptures and emblems.
Please also see the article "History of Crest Tsukiji Gobo" by senior correspondent Asunaro.
When visiting, be careful about the car in the parking lot.♪

Tsukiji Eto Building

Next, I went to Tsukiji Eto Building, which was introduced in the article "Twelve Supports Soro Steps-Eto Tsukiji Eto Bill", a senior correspondent who also referred to last year at the beginning of last year.

Here, I found a cow with a three-dimensional and strong presence!
If you take a closer look, you will notice that you have a tongue out.
Following last year's real mouse, I enjoyed it again this year.♪

Namishi Inari Shrine

After that, from Tsukiji. Let's visit Namishi Inari Shrine, where Tensui bowls and lion heads are designated as ward-owned folk cultural properties.
In fact, this shrine has awarded a talisman called "Zodiac Guide".
Take two balls of the same color from four different types of balls of wish, put one in a protective bag and take it home, and put the other in your own zodiac sign of the Earthly Branches Lantern on the grounds.

The ox lantern is located in the left back toward the photo above, and there is a kelp mound nearby.

There is also a monument on the grounds related to the establishment of Yoshinoya, famous for beef bowls.
For more information, please contact us as soon as possible. Please see the Tsukiji Market "2 specialties".
I think that you will recall the time when there is a market in Tsukiji.

Tsukiji Delhi

Let's end with a delicious cow!
Tsukiji Delhi opened its grand opening in mid-January 2019.
Here, in addition to the amazake drink "Mashiro", which is a blend of sake lees and milk made from rice offered to the gods of Namishi Inari Shrine, roast beef rice balls made with luxurious serloin, and the name "Ushiwakamaru" is also sold.

The image of "Tsukiji = fish" may be strong, but there are many shops that handle other than fish!
The state of the visit two years ago is "[January 11 Grand Opening] related to Tsukiji Namiki Shrine! Please see Tsukiji's new specialty @ TSUKIJI DELI Tsukiji alley back store".
(* The information in the above article is from the interview two years ago. Please include it in advance.

Yeah

This time, we introduced 5 spots related to cows, but many of them were accidentally in the Tsukiji area.
However, if I expand the area and look for it, I feel like I can find more cows.♪
While looking at the situation in COVID-19 infection, I would like to look for spots related to cattle in other areas such as Nihonbashi and Ginza.
