Customs 150 Years
On November 28, 2022, from TOKYO on the back of the Tokyo Shimbun, it was featured as customs anniversary today.
It seems that it has been 150 years since the establishment of customs.
It has been treated several times in the correspondent blog before, but I went to the monument of Tokyo customs official Shonochi again.
It is the ruin of the place. Luck is the same as the tribute imposed on farmers by the lord, and is the business tax imposed on commercial and industrial workers now.
The lucksho was set up in Hakodate (Hakodate), Kanagawa, and Nagasaki in 1859, the year after the Shogunate signed the Osamu Trade Treaty with the five Western countries at the end of the Tokugawa period. The Edo Unjosho was established in 1867 at Tsukiji Gunsho. Today's Akashicho.
In the article, Yokohama Customs and Public Relations Office Director replied that it was a fairly large organization that also conducted immigration control and diplomatic negotiations in addition to collecting import and export taxes.
It is also located in Hyogo and Osaka, and later became the Meiji government, and the luck office belongs to the foreign secretariat, but was transferred to the Ministry of Finance in 1871 and became under the jurisdiction of the tax dormitory.
Eventually, the Kanagawa Unsho was also called Yokohama Customs, and the names of the Unshoguns in various places became different, and in 1872, the Unshoguns across the country became a unified name with customs. That was November 28, 150 years ago from 2022.
According to the chief of public hearing, the common name of Customs, which reduced the tax checkpoint, has become popular and it has been determined that the name represents business.
The Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia does not include the Tokyo Customs launch site. A telephone line connecting the telegraph office located in the same place and the Yokohama Court has been built, and public telecommunications has been performed for the first time, and a monument to the site of telegraph creation has been built. I think it's okay in the same place, but this is moved about 40m. The monument of the customs departure site stands quietly on the site beside the entrance of a long-established water-cooked jisaku.
In the article, German archeologist Heinrich Schleman said, "When I visited the Kanagawa Unsho, I tried to avoid scrutiny of my luggage, and the officials hit my heart and hit the "Nippon Musco" (Japanese boys?) And he refused to give me his mind. It is based on dignity to neglect the obligations of Japanese boys, "This is what I wrote in "Surleman Travel Report, Kiyokuni, Japan."
In addition, the current customs role has expanded due to the increase in trade volume, and in addition to examining export and import declarations of cargo and collecting tariffs, the crackdown on fake brand products and the border checks based on the Food Sanitation Law and the Livestock Infectious Disease Prevention Law are also introduced. And the success of the drug detective dog was posted. There was also a photo of a drug detective dog modeled on the customs mascot character "Custom-kun". By the way, his birthday is set on November 28 of customs anniversary.
