The remains of the residence of Sharaku in Hatchobori

As the Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog, the blog name "Minatokko-chan" was announced on December 13, 2019, "The sidewalk in Chuo-ku is interesting! "Hatchobori Suzuran Street" introduces Sharaku Toshusai, but this time I would like to supplement only Sharaku.

Gesshin Saito, a famous Edo scholar for the Edo Famous Zoukai, said in Tenpo 15 (1844), "Sharaku, Tenmei era 1791" In Tenpo 15 (1844), Juro Saito The Noh actor of Awa Kasei, who lives in Edo Hatchobori, is described as Tosu. " From this record of the mooncen, the theory of Sharaku and Jurohei Saito was promising, but the date of birth was unknown and the outline of a person was unknown. In 1997, "Sharaku no Kai" in Tokushima City discovered a description of Guard Saito Juro in the past book of Hoko-ji Temple and proved the theory of Sharaku and Jurobei. Hoko-ji Temple was founded as the branch temple of Asakusa Gobo and moved to Tsukiji after the great fire of the Meiryaku era, and was relocated to Koshigaya in 1993.

There are the following descriptions in the past book of Hokkoji: 。

"Shin March 7, cremated at Senju, 58-year-old Senju, 58-year-old, Jizobashi Asu-dono, Shokudaijoin Kakumoi Hachimachi, Horijizobashi Asu-dono-Ouchi, Shakudai-in Temple on March 7"

As a result, the theory of Sharaku and Jurobei Saito, which has been said since ancient times, has been demonstrated, and the credibility has been further deepened.
