It wasn’t just a stone! The identity of the stone wall that remains in Tsukuda Park
Hello. I'm an active correspondent, Hanes.
Recently, the heat has eased, and the opportunity to go out little by little has increased.
However, there are still many days when the sun is worried, and I often stop by in parks with full shade.
The other day, I took a stroll around Tsukuda Park again. Did you know that there is such a fine stone wall in Chuo-ku?
This stone wall was last month's article "What is the modern prison headwater" human footage "?" This is when I saw the ruins of Ishikawajima Lighthouse introduced from the side and back side.
You often pass through the front of the ruins of the Ishikawajima Lighthouse, but some may have never been around the back.
And the identity of this stone wall, which was distributed in Chuo-ku, is that when the Tokyo Metropolitan Government renovated the right bank of the Nihonbashi River in 1985, Kijibashi Bridge (Kijibashi / present-day Mitsuhashi 2-chome southeast corner to Kudan Minami 1-chome) A part of the stone wall found near!
The name of pheasant bridge is derived from the fact that Ieyasu Tokugawa surrounded his favorite pheasant to entertain the envoy of Korea.
The information board in Tsukuda Park states that Tokugawa shogunate started construction of the second Edo Castle in Keicho 10 (1605), ordered 31 daimyo in China, Shikoku and Kyushu to collect and transport stones for stone walls in Edo Castle and moats, and that most of the stones were cut off from the Izu Peninsula East Coast, that it took a lot of money and effort to transport and unload the stones, and that some crests and marks of each daimyo, kumizu, masonry, etc. are engraved on the stones.
I looked at the stone wall in Tsukuda Park from various angles, but I couldn't find such a crest or landmark....
Next time, I would like to see the stone again!
(Because it is an area with lots of nature, mosquitoes are now occurring. If you take a walk or walk, beware of mosquitoes!)
However, there were many stones arranged around the stone wall that clearly understood the arrow hole.
When you go sightseeing in Tsukuda, why don't you think about this stone wall and stone in front of the Edo period?
yaz has introduced detailed information about the stone walls of Edo Castle cut out from the East Coast of Izu Peninsula, including the July 2019 article "Funairi moat blog for transporting stone walls in Edo Castle (2019.06.04) error correction".
As mentioned in the above article, many stones were cut out from Higashiizu-cho and transported to Edo.
I once drove on the East Coast of the Izu Peninsula, but I remember seeing information boards and pamphlets on the history of this quarry in towns and tourist information centers.
It may not be as well known as Edo Castle and moat stones, but the following article introduces the historical sites of Izu Peninsula, which are related to Chuo-ku.
