It's so scary

Chushingura-ichi, Chuo-ku

Every year when he became a teacher, the incident of the defeat of Kira's residence by Nanji Akaho, commonly known as Chushingura, attracts attention.

At that time, I can't say a great deal of criticism against Tsunayoshi Tokugawa and Yoshiyasu Yanagisawa, who made a one-handed ruling.

Dissatisfaction with the upper house, such as the command of mercy, and feelings of sympathy for the Asano family, were particularly overflowing with the common people of Edo.

Half a century later, the pseudonym Chushingura, who was performed on the subject of the Akaho incident, hides his real name, etc. The kana represents the number of ronins in 47 characters, and the samurai, Yoshio Oishi built-in assistant, means that he is a loyal.

With the applause of the public, creative stories are also performed in Kabuki, talks, and Namikyoku, and there are also tail fins such as the appearance of fakes.

Yoshio Kira Ueno (Yoshinaka) was made worse than necessary.

In Akashicho, there is a stone monument of the site of Takumi Asanouchi's residence. This is Designated Cultural Property, Tokyo.

It is the site of the upper residence of the Asano family of the Akaho clan in Harima country. Kamiyashiki is the residence of a daimyo from Edo in sankin kotai.

The site is about 8,900 tsubo and the west and south are moats. Akatsuki Park and Tsukiji River Park were originally rivers. There seems to be a stone monument near the corner of the mansion. The stone monument used to be on the border with the public health center at the end of Akatsuki Park.

Naganori Asano, the third generation of the Banshu Asano family, who moved from Kasama, Hitachi, is given the same official name as his grandfather, Takumi no Kagami. This place is also the place where the master Naganori was born.

In Genroku 14 (1701), Uchi Takumi was appointed as a entertaining treat for the Imperial Envoy coming to Edo with a return of greeting the New Year to the Emperor's family. The role of Reiho is Yoshio Ueno, Yoshio.

18 years ago, the master of Uchimi experienced the same role. At that time, the elder (uncle of built-in assistant) is in Edo and assists the 17-year-old master. This time, the elder (Oishi built-in assistant) is absent in Ako, and this New Year, he went to greet the Emperor's family until the end of February when he returned to Edo with Uenosuke.

The inner Takumi is a daimyo, and Uenosuke is just a flagship, but Uenosuke is the top. The Kira family, a senior high priest in charge of the shogunate rituals, is the boss, and the daimyo Asano family is subordinate. The younger master (Uenosuke 60 years old Uchi Takumi 36 years old) grows up Bonbon and does not care about the delivery. The feast cost was high, and it took 1,200 cars in the previous year. The budget for the master's head is seven hundred. There is also a diary that says that there was a reduction instruction from the elderly. Uenosuke, who wants a flashy luxury, is dissatisfied and becomes naturally unbroken.

In movies and dramas, Uenosuke says "this country samurai glasses" in the pine corridor, and the head of the inner craftsman is knocked upside down with a fan. In fact, the master's head has been waiting in the corridor for a long time and waits for the arrival of the edict. Yosobei Kajikawa exchanges words with Uenosuke who is late by checking the setup. Suddenly from behind, "Do you remember the resentment during this time? "I'm going to cut my head. One sword on the back and three times to Uenosuke who turns surprised. Kajikawa squeezed and stopped it.

It is said that the master's head was depressed. NHK will investigate the pine corridor and the weather on the day. I concluded that it was very dim, and it was overcast in the rain. Was it hunted down by the sandwich between the Shogunate and Uenosuke?

Tsunayoshi takes care of his mother Katsura Shoin excessively and places importance on this entertainment in order to have him play the first place. Tsunayoshi, who was taking a bath to cleanse the important day and body, is furious. Decide on the same day in the bathroom and confiscation of the territory. Some scholars believe that Yoshiyasu Yanagisawa, who was concerned about Tsunayoshi's anger, instructed him. Uenosuke is a one-handed ruling without blame for God Myo. Yoshiho is good friends with Uenosuke. Breaking the samurai's rules since Muromachi, fighting and defeat, sympathy for the Asano family and repulsion for the Shogunate occur.

The inner craftsman who was entrusted to Shiba's Tamura House and investigated is cut off at the garden on that day, even though he is a daimyo.

Ueyashiki, where Uchi Takumi's wife, Akuri, was passed away on the 17th of the following day.

Even after the Asano Family Residence was confiscated, Kira Uenosuke's residence in Edo was outside Kimono Hashikado. It's near Yaesu at the current Gofuku Bridge intersection. Perhaps to explore the situation of the mansion, Nanji Akaho who came out in Edo lives nearby.

Yasubee Horibe has lived in Kotaku Hosoi's house in Mizutanicho, Kyobashi (Ginza 1-chome). A few years later, Mizutanicho itself moved to Hatchobori (Is it a fire) and there is a monument of Anbei at Kameshima Bridge.

Gengoemon Kataoka, Yazaemon Kaiga, Gengo Otaka and Emoshichi Yato hide near Minami Hatchobori (Irifune and Minato).

It seems that Gengoemon Kataoka was a beautiful boy. He was one of the people who were entrusted with the will of the salvation.

Yazaemon Kaiga is the younger brother of Chuzaemon Yoshida. It plays a role in returning the vow paper received from the built-in assistant to each other and confirming the seriousness.

Gengo Otaka is a nephew in Onodera Juuchi and a cousin of Kinemon Okano. I was good at haikai and tea ceremony.

Emoshichi Yato takes over the will of his father who left the accounting for Ako Kaijo, and joins. I was 17 years old.

Born in Edo, raised in Edo Kihee Muramatsu lived in Odawara-cho (Tsukiji 2-chome) in Edo.

Then, in September, Uenosuke's mansion was ordered to relocate from Kimono Hashikado to Honjo Matsuzaka-cho. It is said that Tsunayoshi thought that Uenosuke could be defeated, or that he appealed for relocation because he feared that an adjacent daimyo would be involved in the defeat. However, the relocation of the daimyo residence is a daily occurrence, and at this time several houses move at the same time. As a result, the Akaho Ronins also moved to the home area.

Yoshio Oishi built-in assistant Yoshio, who expressed his determination to defeat at the Maruyama Conference, will come to Edo.

In the beginning of November 1702, he hides in Kokumachi (Muromachi 4-chome) in Edo.

Goro Nakajima, a kimono dealer living in Reiganjima (Shinkawa), who was a former knowledge, was taking care of the scholar Azumamaro Kadano. Haruman is often called for tea ceremonies at Kira's house, and built-in assistants carefully search for information.

Here, we gathered together to discuss the information and discuss the date of the debate.

 

 Chushingura-ichi, Chuo-ku

It is a monument to the site of the residence of Kikaku Takarai in Kayabacho.

Although he is a high brother of Matsuo Basho, Basho's dead language is a man who wrote a phrase called fashionable style and Edo style.

On the eve of the debate, he met Gengo Otaka, a friend of Haiku, who was dressed as soot bamboo sellers, at Ryogoku Bridge, and sympathized with falling and gave a haori. I don't think I'll meet anymore, and at the end, I put out "The New Year, the flow of water, and the body of people." Then Gengo returns, "That treasure ship waiting for tomorrow."

"The farewell of Ryogoku Bridge" always appears on the famous scene of Chushingura, but it seems that the corner and Gengo did not know.

It seems to be a creative story that made the corner of the Edo common people appear.

 Chushingura-ichi, Chuo-ku

It is the site of Kira's residence in Matsuzaka-cho, Honjo (Ryogoku, Sumida-ku). Ryogoku Bridge and Kaikoin are very close.

By the way, there is a monument near the place where Ryunosuke Akutagawa was raised. The place where he was born was a ranch in a foreign settlement, where it was around the site of the Uchimito residence.

Uenosuke came in the summer after the blade wound incident. And...

The time is 1702, on the 14th of the middle of Shiwasu, the ox, when the plants sleep, the three ox, Nami Akaho, will be defeated.

♪The Yamaga style's Jin Taiko, which resonates with the night breeze of Edo, is the creation of Namikyoku.

I think it may be the 15th, but the day of the people at that time is from "6:00 am to 6:00 am", so the 3rd ox (2:00 am) is the 14th, and it is also the 14th anniversary of the master's head.

They are dressed in fire. Because when you are suspicious of moving in a party, you can escape to say that you are a fire extinguisher official. Chains and wires are used for bands, headbands, crosses, etc. This is an advice from the experience of Yasubee Horibe, who was cut off the belt, suffered during the revenge of Takadanobaba. It was quite heavy because I was wearing a chain mailer.

I'm going to have a real life near dawn. The initial schedule was to prepare for the pursuer of Uenosuke's son Uesugi family while taking a break at Kaikoin, but he was rejected by Kaikoin, who was afraid of involvement, and decided to head to Sengakuji Temple.

Nanji, who headed from Kira's residence to Kaikoin, give up crossing Ryogoku Bridge. When you cross the Ryogoku Bridge and enter Edo City, Samurai residence lines up. Also, since the 15th is the day of the castle for daimyo and Hagimoto, it is to avoid the possibility of some conflict on the way. Hikochi Hattori, a magistrate of Edo Town, rushed in, and Ryogoku Bridge leading to Edo Castle cannot be used as a role. There is also a theory that he said with warmth to go to other roads and prepare for an attack on a dark narrow road.

Go south while watching the pursuers and follow the road along the river from Ichinobashi to Mannenbashi. Honjo and Fukagawa seem to have been bright in geography because there were many hiding ronins such as Isuke Maebara, Yogoro Kanzaki, and Okuda Son Daio.

When I came to the vicinity of Eitai Bridge, a merchant named the Milkkumaya Miso store was holding a ceremony, and the customs of the time acted in amazake. The Ronins take a break here. Later, Kaikoin lowered his name, and Chikumaya raised the stock. Today, the rice cake bear miso is served with amazake on the day of the debate.

The picture above shows Eitai Bridge at night. At that time, the position was different, and of course there was no night lighting.

How did the scenery of Okawa appear in the eyes of the Ronins?

It is a picture drawn on the wall of Chuo-ku side of Sumida River promenade. Minato Bridge is the upper left bridge.

After crossing Eitai Bridge, the Nanji party goes along the Nihonbashi River, crosses Minato Bridge (Hakozaki-cho and Shin Kawama), enters Reigishima (Shinkawa), and goes along Echizenbori (Shinkawa).

 Chushingura-ichi, Chuo-ku

As it is, follow Takahashi (between Shinkawa and Hatchobori), Inaribashi (between Hatchobori and Minato) and Kamejima River and proceed from Minato by entering the ship. Around this area, Anbei and Gengoemon Kataoka, who lived when Uenosuke was in Kimono Hashikado, would have provided directions. Cross the Kariko Bridge (Akashicho) over the Tsukiji River at the vertical position of the current Irifune Bridge. The opposite bank across the Tsukiji River is the residence of the former master's head. At that time, it was already the residence of Sakai of the Wakasa Obama clan. It is probable that if you pass near the entrance, you may be blamed by gatekeepers, etc., and you have reported that you have achieved your true spirit across the river.

 Chushingura-ichi, Chuo-ku

I will pass by Honganji Temple. At that time, it was a very large site.

There is a Peace pagoda of Shinroku Hazama in Honganji Temple. Shinroku participates in the debate with his father Kihee Hazama and his brother Jujiro Hazama (the first spear to Uenosuke). The mansion that was deposited after the defeat was a separate place. Shinroku is the Mohri residence of the Chofu clan in Azabu. In the middle of Edo, even in the middle of the Edo period, it was formalized, and the interpreter dropped his neck before cutting his belly, but Shinroku cut his belly and became a brave samurai.

Matasuke Nakado, the son-in-law, went around to pick up the remains of the three. My father and brother's remains are not in time after they have been sent to Sengakuji. Only Shinroku will be buried in Honganji. I don't know why. Was it a coincidence? There is also a theory that when the Nanji party passed Honganji Temple, Shinroku tied money to the spear and threw it, and asked him to bury it.

Before the blade wound incident, Shinroku, who had been out of work and became a ronin and went to Edo, requested to participate in the righteous union, but was refused. My father seems to have been in touch with him strictly, but is allowed by Anbei and others. Shinroku falls down at Satsunotsuji in Tamachi due to heavy equipment of more than 12 km and fatigue from rushing on a snowy road. He was scolded by his father, Kibei, and stood up desperately to head to Sengakuji Temple.

If only one person is sorry, a new Peace pagoda will be built at Sengakuji later. I was only 24 years old.

 

The common people of Edo applaud a series of incidents that were debated from the blade wound incident. At the beginning of the discussion, graffiti that hymns will appear. After the ronin's stomach, there are things that blame the Shogunate and the old man. On the day of the stomach, the letter "Tadataka should work hard" on the Nihonbashi high bill is erased with ink. The criminal is searched in a leap, but the replaced high bill is also filled or pulled out and thrown into the river. The weakened shogunate rewritten it as "parent-child brothers and couples are muzzy."

A few years ago, Feng Shui Advisor Dr. I heard Copa answering listener questions on the radio. "When should I buy a year-end jumbo?" "If you are an Edo kid, it is recommended to buy it on the day of Edokko's favorite defeat." I have purchased it every year since then, but I haven't achieved my real intentions yet.
