Jeanne Louise of Edo
It's around this time that I want Ginza to return such a scene as soon as I see a maskless video in New York due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic. Have you been patience for a while, have you been taking care of yourself?
On a sunny afternoon before the rainy season, I passed by in front of Catholic Tsukiji Church Cathedral for business. When you casually turn your face to the gate, the renovation is over and the roses on the gable wall and the whiteness of the tulips are dazzling. The door of the cathedral is half open and goes to the premises as if beckoned.
I didn't notice it before the renovation ...
For a while, the cathedral was covered for renovation work. I wonder if there was a statue at the entrance of the cathedral before the renovation? I came close while thinking about it. He is one of the twelve Apostles of Christ, the statue of St. Peter. According to the inscription, in 1878 it was attached to the inner sanctum pillar of the cathedral along with three other saints. The cathedral was destroyed by the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923, and only this statue of St. Peter remained, so I thought it was a splendid cathedral from this size.
I've seen a photo of the entire settlement being burned fields and only the remains of buildings due to the Great Kanto Earthquake. I can't feel that this statue of St. Peter remained in it. There are people who are silent in the cathedral, and look at the front with stained glass from the entrance so as not to disturb you. My heart calms down in silence.
And Jeanne Louise
A survey of the Catholic Tsukiji Church in the official text of the Chuo-ku Tourism Test, "Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia", found that there is a copper western bell (commonly known as Jeanne Louise in Edo) cast in France in 1876 in the cathedral. It is written. I've always wanted to see it. But in the cathedral, I wondered if it had a structure that rings the bell from the preparation room of the priest without such a sign, and when I left the cathedral and headed to the gate, she was in Kadowaki! You can see it from the road!
The description of the book issued in October 2020 states in the hall, so did this place become your place with the renovation? It was such an unexpected appearance, so I felt like I met an idol in the city (laughs). I feel that the explanation of the origin and engraved characters is still new.
Someone of the correspondents may have already been written while I'm breaking down my blog, but if you meet an idol, you'll want to say it, think so and be patient. It is a premonition of St Peter statue of Catholic Tsukiji Church and Jeanne Louise, the two great idols (God, don't be angry even if unscrupulous).
By the way ...
While refraining from taking measures against corona, I was watching a rebroadcast of a TV drama several years ago when my favorite actors appeared. In the scene that appears for a moment in the drama, "Oh! Roses and tulip gable walls of Catholic Tsukiji Church!" "Conversation on the bench in the park of Akatsuki Bridge, the background is the wall of St. Luke's International University", "Are, St. Luke's chapel tower is set as another church", "Sumida river’s edge Kachidokibashi is a standard, and the Tsukishima River canal problem is good.
How are you all? Touring Chuo-ku in a drama.
