The floating banks of Hamacho
Speaking of Hamacho riverbank, I think it is an area with a smart and beautiful feeling, but this time I will talk a little bit about it. It may not be familiar to young people, but it is famous for "Meiji Ichiyo Women", which is famous as a new school performance.
"Floating and floating on the banks of Hamacho
A shame of the willow
And take out the boat
The wind blew in the way."
Do you know the song? This song contains the word Hamacho riverbank, so let's explain this deficiency.
This song, "Meiji Ichiyo Woman," was created based on a novel by Matsutaro Kawaguchi, based on the Oume Hanai incident (also known as the Hakoya incident). Novels and plays are stories in which love and hatred between men and women, such as Kabuki actors and do performers, are intricately intertwined, but the actual case is relatively simple. That said, it's about the murder case. I can't imagine from the first lyrics. No. 2 and No. 3 are quite good.
The beautiful and selfish geisha (pictured) plum is about 20 years old and has a waiting and becomes a landlady, but he is locked out of his waiting just after his name was his father. The former friend who consulted tried to get back the store somehow was greedy and did not work on his father's side. The upside down plum catches this friend to the banks of Hamacho and kills it. The plum was bowed to the Nihonbashi Hisamatsu Station. There was a bit beautiful lyrics and a terrible fact on the banks of Hamacho. Knowing this fact and looking at the banks of Hamacho, it is not Nagaharu Yodogawa, but "I'm scared! I'm scared!"
Banks of Hamacho
It was sung in 1935, "♪-Floating floating on the banks of Hamacho, floating willows ..." What was the shores of Hamacho when "Meiji Ichidai Women" lived?
The Hamacho River was reclaimed shortly after the war, and the banks of the river cannot be seen. In the upstream area across Shin-ohashi-dori St., there is a green promenade along the former Hamacho River, and both sides are roads. The downstream direction is the Hamacho exit from the high speed, which leads to Shin-ohashi-dori St. "Nakanohashi" used to be built in the place in the photo.
Nakanohashi
A panoramic view of Nakanohashi (May 1930) From the former Nakanohashi, looking upstream of the Hamacho River, there is a green space promenade in the middle and a road on both sides. Looking downstream, it is the Hamacho exit of the elevated expressway that passes upstream from around the former Hakozaki River. Is this area the stage of "Meiji Ichidai Women", Hamacho riverbank? Oh, I'm afraid! !!
