There is a wooden gutter (water pipe) from the Edo period at the storefront in Ginza!
A wooden gutter (current water pipe) from the Edo period is displayed at the front of the haute couture "Noble Pearl" on Ginza 8-chome Kinharu Street.
This wooden gutter was excavated in 1967 from the basement of the building site in Hatchobori, Chuo-ku, about 3m below the ground. It is said that it was exhibited.
According to the explanation plate above the wooden gutter, it looks like a wooden gutter at the end of Tamagawajosui.
Tamagawajosui is about 43 km above the ground from Hamura, the intake of the Tama River (currently Hamura City, Tokyo) to Yotsuya Okido (currently Shinjuku Gyoen), and from there, further underground wooden gutters and stone gutters to Hatchobori all the way. It has been transported to Hatchobori.
In an era when there is no power such as a pump, in a slight difference in height, a distant work of distributing water far away and the height of its technology (the water level and direction were changed by a buried basin that plays the role of a joint of a wooden gutter) I was surprised by the fact that I used the principle of siphon).
Next to the wooden gutter, there is also a monument to Kimharu Street Brick remain.
In addition, right next to the shop's wooden gutter exhibition, there is a monument of brick remain discovered in the old Kinharu mansion at 8-chome 8-chome Ginza in 1988.
From the 5th to 10th year of Meiji, the Meiji government built a brick street with a total of about 10 km in Ginza for the purpose of making buildings non-combustible and westernization.
However, since it was destroyed by the Great Kanto Earthquake and the war, the brick remain discovered during construction can be said to be a valuable historical material (the brick remain was preserved in the Edo Tokyo Museum and part of this monument).
