One is the monument of the well of the famous water Shirakiya.

Before the opening of Edo, most of the current Chuo-ku was in the sea. It will be reclaimed, the town layout will progress, and many people will live, but the Edo common people have a hard time drinking water.

Tora-san's temper

"The corner is the first-class reddish red and white flour at Akagiya, Shirakiya, and Kurokiya, and if you give me a gift, 5,000 is 6,000, 6,000 is 7,000, and 7,000 is 8,000 is 8,000."

Shirakiya, whose name comes out, is a department store located in a prime location in Nihonbashi until 1967.

In the early Edo period, the second generation Hikogoro Omura, when Shirakiya was a kimono clothing dealer, invested his private property and started digging wells. Although it was a difficult construction, it is stated in the explanatory version that it was reported that the water had springed out when the statue of Kannon came out.

The other is the ruins of the bamboo Dainichi Nyorai well.

Bamboo, who was born in the Shonai district of Yamagata and served in Edo, is a kind and sincere person who gave it to the poor without leaving vegetable scraps and rice grains, and has a reputation for being behind the trick. Become.

Two pilgrims from Dewa's country are Kyun for her kindness.

　"Mr. Take is an incarnation of Dainichi Nyorai, according to Mt. Haguro's announcement."

It is said that rumors spread throughout Edo City, and people gathered for worship.

A stone monument is built on the trace of the well she loved.

Tsukuda is a city where you can see a lot of wells in the current Chuo-ku.

Especially at Tsukuda 1-chome, I see a lot of wells. I saw seven units just by turning around.

Some houses have wells in the house, and if you look for them, there are still more. Many of them are active.

The well in the photo is a well beside the entrance of a house.

When I talked to my house, it was said that it was used jointly with the people around me, and the fish and cutting boards caught were washed away with water from the well. It seems that we had a well-end meeting.

"As drinking water?　Why don't you drink it?　I don't remember."

He said

I've been interviewed on TV before and I don't mind posting photos, but I've heard that I'm not a well but a shrine belonging, so I went to the shrine and listened to the story. The person who responded was allowed to post it, but he said that he knew that everyone was using it and did not understand the details.

By the way, it has nothing to do with the story of the well, but the house where I took this picture happened to be my elementary school classmate's house. I went to this house more than 50 years ago. I didn't notice that the structure of the house had changed. At that time, I often saw wells around me, so I didn't remember the well here.

On the opposite bank of Tsukuda across the Sumida River, we could not see wells in Akashicho, Minato 1-3 chome, Irifune 1.2 chome, Shintomi 1-2 chome, and Hatchobori as far as we could see.

However, there is a well for disaster prevention in the Gunpow Park. The well here can be used as domestic water in the event of a disaster and is not drinking water.

Horidome Children's Park, located between Nihonbashi Ningyocho and Nihonbashi Horidomecho, also has water supply facilities in the form of wells. It seems like a well that can be used as drinking water here.

Akatsuki Park, located between Akashicho and Tsukiji, is a form of a water supply station in the event of a disaster.

I wrote earlier that I could see Akashi, Minato-Hatchobori, but I dared to remove only Irifune 3-chome.

There are three wells that have not been used anymore at Irifune 3-chome.

It was originally a town of printing and bookbinding. A house was lined up rather than a tenement house.

I don't know why it remains in the city where new buildings such as condominiums were gradually built, but it is a mysterious sight where three old wells remain in a narrow area.

We talked to people living in this apartment with a well in the photo.

He had been in the ship before the war.

At that time, the parking lot next to the current apartment was a vacant lot and private houses were lined up around it.

It seems that there was a job related to well drilling.

It is a well made because the government encouraged well digging for disaster prevention. You told me that it was a joint belonging.

I also talked to a company that manages the land of the current apartment.

He talked about the border with the owner of the next parking lot. Just like the location of the well is like the border of both land, the well itself seems to be neither property. It seems that there has been no conclusion yet, such as the cost of removing it.

When I was in elementary school, I remember washing my hands in this well.

The ruins of this well are located on the sidewalk facing Shin-ohashi-dori St.

Because there was a considerable distance from the building and the owner was unknown, I visited the Environmental Civil Engineering Department of Chuo-ku Office.

I know the existence of this well, but it was not from Chuo-ku, and the sidewalk was under the jurisdiction of Tokyo.

I was told to the Tokyo Daiichi Kensetsu Office in Akashicho.

(This place used to be the place where Akashi Hospital in Tokyo used to be. It was a hospital that went to an ophthalmology more than 50 years ago.

The capital manages the sidewalk. Basically, if the object was on the sidewalk, I was asked to confirm that there would be a permission to use it, but there was no report.

After all, the owner seems to be neither a ward nor a capital.

I remember that there was a car maintenance shop diagonally before here. The front was a gas station. In both cases, I remember seeing a well used to pour water into a bucket and squeeze a rag. It must have been used for common use.

The other is now a parking lot and is owned by the manager.

There are many reasons why the well remains, and it is often unknown, but when writing this blog, I was able to trace my memories.

The three wells of the ship were particularly broken, but the relics of Showa made me feel nostalgic.
