Marveled at the dream of the sea man with Shogen Mukai Tadakatsu and Anjin Miura!
Monument to the site of Anjin Miura Yashiki, located in Anjin-dori, Nihonbashi Muromachi, Chuo-ku
Shogen Mukai Tadakatsu and Anjin Miura seem to have had a special relationship of trust and a common bond with the master Ieyasu Tokugawa.
1582 After Takeda's death in 1582, Ieyasu Tokugawa spoke to Tadakatsu's father, Masatsuna, who became a ronin, and made retainer in 200 bales. In the battle of Ukishima, Katsuyori Takeda's ship was abandoned and ordered to go up to land, and he was recognized for his achievement in fighting with a strong belief that he was only a navy if he fought.
1597 In 1597, he was called by Hidetada, the second shogun, and in 1601 1601, Tadakatsu, 21 years old, took over the trace of his father Masazuna, and in 1601, he kept the "Kunimaru" servant boat at the Ejiri Shibukawa Exit of Shimizu Port.
Shogen Mukai Tadakatsu Yashiki was located in the center of Nihonbashi Riversuji at Edo Port, and Anjin Miura Yashiki was diagonally facing, but in 1604, Anjin Miura had already moved to Nagasaki Hirato and "Anjincho" and "Toshima-gun Edo Shozu". It is listed in.
Ieyasu Tokugawa ordered Anjin Miura and Tadakatsu to supervise Spanish trade in order to utilize Uraga Port as an international trading port, and Tadakatsu brokered the travel seal of Spanish merchant ships entering and exiting Uraga Port.
It is probable that Tadakatsu learned a lot from his diplomatic adviser Anjin Miura about large sailing shipbuilding, navigation technology, piloting, overseas trade, etc. as a ship magistrate. I felt romance at the meeting of these two sea men, and I was surprised that he was greatly involved in the early history of Edo shogunate!

In August, "Shogen Mukai and Anjin Miura" was scheduled to be featured. Anyway, coincidence overlapped, and the monthly edition of Nihonbashi August special feature "Visit Henmi's footprints" was described. 6.In August, such coincidence overlapped and moved, and I called the monthly Nihonbashi editorial department to thank you.
1747 Entei 4th year donated from Nihonbashi to Jodoji Temple "Buddhist temple bell engraved with the name of Edo-dai Temmacho"
It's wonderful that Edo Nihonbashi and Anjin Miura have continued to this day!
It is engraved with the name "Nihonbashiodenmacho Den Nishimurabei" on the cast Buddhist temple bell in 1747. It is not clear that it is true or false, but there is a theory that the origin of Anjin's wife is Yuki's daughter Yuki of village headman Magome in Nihonbashiodenmacho. Is this Buddhist temple bell indirectly speaking about it?
It was offered by a metal collection order during World War II, and after the war it was taken to the United States and placed in a park in Atlanta. In 1961, the Anjin Miura mansion was founded to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Japan-US Osamu Treaty of Commerce and Trade, and was returned to Bieyama Jodoji, which is said to have been called Bodaiji Temple. At Jodoji, the bell tower has been destroyed, so it is now only enshrined at the entrance.
1798 Kansei 10 A pair of stone lantern standing to protect his wife, Peace pagoda, donated by Anjin Town in 1798
stone lantern, engraved with the letters "Edo Nihonbashi Anjincho", was donated in 1789, 170 years after the death of Anjin in 1620, 1620. On the outer side of both lanterns, the letter "ten" is slightly unclear.
A pair of stone lantern was donated to Anjinzuka (Miura Anjin and his wife Peace pagoda) in Henmi Village, Miura County, Sagami, and is now located in Tsukayama Park in Nishi-Hemi, Yokosuka City, Kanagawa Prefecture.
The heart of remembering the Anjin of the people of Anjin-cho indicates that it did not decline.
1840 1840 "Nihonbashi Anjincho Donation Uchishiki" was donated from Anjincho to Jodoji Temple for Buddhist memorial service 220 years after the death of Anjin.
The percussion (a type of orthotic to decorate the Buddhist altar) with luxurious embroidery from Nihonbashi Anjincho (currently around Nihonbashi Muromachi 1-chome) is brilliantly depicted like a phoenix or dragon on the front side, and is woven with gold thread. The back side is written on a white background, "The middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the middle of the town." It seems that he had been around for many years, and it has been darkened over time, but it seems that there is still a gorgeous appearance.
It can be said that the name of Nihonbashi Anjin-cho was derived from the fact that Anjin Miura Yashiki was in the early Edo period, and that the townspeople did not forget to memorialize it.
The 1605 Jesuit Report states that "7.8 British and Dutch people live in and around Edo, and they already have their homes and families as residents of the area."
It is thought that it was around this time that Anjin was given a mansion and marriage in Japan.
Approximately 260 years after his death, the Tokyo Yokohama Mainichi Shimbun, dated June 29, 1881, said, `` The people of Anjincho, Nihonbashi, Tokyo, have been recreated to 8 tons of white rice (two bales of the United States) to the grave in March every year from the Kanei era.
The Kanei era was between 1624 and 1645, which was the time of Tokugawa shogunate Shogun Iemitsu. 1864 was Shigeru Tokugawa shogunate in 1865.
The basic concept of Tokugawa shogunate was solidified from the bond between Anjin Miura and Ieyasu Tokugawa!
"William Adams in front of the Emperor (Ieyasu Tokugawa)", written by Darton William, "William Adams The First Englishman in Japan"
1608 In 1608, he was heavily used as a diplomatic advisor to Ieyasu, and was given the name of Anjin Miura and 220 or 250 stones of Hemi Village and became the flagship book.
Anjin Miura, an unusual foreign lord, made a great contribution to military technology, navigation, steering Western ships, construction, understanding the world situation, and trade with other countries.
1872 Why was buried in Jodoji Temple, where the Anjinzuka discovered by the Trade Merchant Walters in 1872?
In the "New Edition Sagami Country topographical record", Anjin said, "In the case of our city, we should bury it in a high place overlooking the eastern part, and now we will protect Edo for a long time and give the courtesy of the Shogun's family to Izumishita." It seems he did. And the burial had a strong will.
However, this Anjinzuka was overgrown with vegetation, discovered by Walters, and was buried until it was introduced in the English newspaper "The Far East".
1874 Renovation in 1874, 1888, 1902 It seems to have been renovated in 1874, 1888, and 1902, and has continued to this day.
In 1921 1921, no remains were found in the 1905 survey in the 1905 survey in the "Summary of Repair and Preservation of Anjinzuka", but `` Relics such as beard hair, etc. Relics such as Shea Rishi, and to secure Adams the tomb Tal. "It seems to be there. 1923 It became a nationally designated historic site in 1923.
Tadakatsu in 1582 and Anjin in 1564 are 18 years old, when they met them after 1601?
1600 April 19, 1600 The Leafde drifted ashore in Chikugo, Oita Prefecture, and Anjin Miura, 36 years old, was interrogated by Ieyasu Tokugawa on May 12 in Osaka. Here, the relationship of trust between the two has begun.
Tadakatsu Mukai, 18 years old
1604 1604 Anjin Miura, 40 years old, built an 80t Western ship under the order of Ieyasu. At this time, it seems that 22-year-old Tadakatsu also worked together.
1605-1608 1605-13 A 1200t Western ships were built at the age of 41-44. As a diplomatic adviser, he will make many round trips to Hemi and Hirado. Tadakatsu 23-26 years old are also involved in the construction, and the knowledge learned from Anjin seems immeasurable.
1616 With the death of Ieyasu Tokugawa in 1616, the connection between the two was cut off. Tadakatsu was 34 years old and 52 years old.
He died in Genna 6 at the age of 56 in Anjin Hirado in 1620. Tadakatsu I was 38 years old.
Tadakatsu's knowledge gained from Anjin was used in the construction of Ataka Maru and the construction of the San Fanta of Masamune Date.
I guess that these two sea men continued to have the dream of "I want to row on a boat to a stranger country", and I can't help but feel romance about it!
