The photo shows Kanada Naka in Ginza and Shin Kiraku, a restaurant in Tsukiji, which is said to be the two largest restaurants in Japan. It is known for the selection venue of the Akutagawa Prize and the Naoki Prize.

This is also the place where Shigenobu Okuma, one of Jinzo Naruse's leading supporters, was the residence. Okuma worshiped the old house of Yasuie Togawa in 1869 and set up a mansion here. The site of Tsukiji Honganji at that time was larger than it is now, protruding the Shin-ohashi-dori St. and the out-of-market market. I think the Okuma House, which is listed in the Tokyo Great Picture Map published in 1871, is around the entrance of the current Shinkiraku. Ito Hirobumi also has a residence nearby, and Kaoru Inoue builds a hut in Okuma's house. Eiichi Shibusawa, who was a subordinate of the Ministry of Finance era, and Mitsue Maejima, who started the postal business, frequently visited and called Tsukiji Ryoyama Tomari.　The Okuma and his wife, played by Hideki Takahashi and Keiko Matsuzaka, will be important supporters of Naruse. Okuma was in Tsukiji until December 1871, and after the mid-1890s when he was attacked in 1889 and injured his right foot and moved to support him, the residence of the Okuma and his wife moved to Waseda annex.

When I visited the office with permission to post photos of Shinkiraku stores, the directors responded.

He seemed busy preparing for the "East Walk" to be held at Shimbashi Enbujo from May 21 to 23. He was also thinking about devising posters to appeal to foreigners. It is a competition between the stage of the flower of Shimbashi Hanayagikai and the restaurant.

This is a photo of the former Eiichi Shibusawa residence on the wall next to Mizuho Bank Kabuto-cho branch. It is a two-story Western-style building designed by Kingo Tatsuno in 1888. My house moved to Asukayama in 1901, but it was based as an office until it was burned down by the Great Kanto Earthquake.

Shibusawa met Naruse via Okuma in 1896 when he lived in this house, and was asked to cooperate in establishing a women's college. Shibusawa, who witnessed the success of women overseas, felt the need for women's education. He started the Women's Education Encouragement Committee with Prime Minister Hirofumi Ito and others to create the Tokyo Jogakukan, and was driven by Naruse's enthusiasm and was involved in the founding of the Women's University. He had a hard time at Tokyo Jogakukan, especially worried about the financial aspects and proposed a merger plan between Women's University and Tokyo Jogakukan. He also insisted that Naruse, who had purchased a planned construction site for a university near Osaka Castle, would open a school in Tokyo. We will provide a large amount of funds and donate a pure Japanese-style dormitory even after opening the school. He named himself the evening dormitory and tried English education and Western-style life. It was until 1979. In cooperation with Naruse, who also focused on physical education, we will open the home garden of Asukayama and hold the first athletic meet. 500 people gather and perform 30 events such as baskets and borrowing competitions. The size of the garden is amazing.

In "Asaga came", Shibusawa appears in real name as the god of the bank, as Yuji Miyake plays. The main character, Asako, who asked for advice for the establishment of Kashima Bank, met at the Commercial Code Conference Branch in Osaka, and an episode that teaches credit first is drawn in a drama, but this seems to be a real story.

Well, it's the main character of "Asaga came." Asako Shiraoka's model played by Haru is Asako Hirooka.

I read anew about Chieko Furukawa's novel "The Life of Asako Hirooka, a female businessman in Tosa Horikawa," which is also the original drama.

She is interested in women's way of life and reads the "Japanese Women's Name Dictionary". I know the name Asako Hirooka, which was featured there, who had no knowledge at the time. There were only 14 lines in the two-tiered paper, including being born to the Mitsui Izumi family in Kyoto, marrying and rebuilding Kashimaya, and focusing on mine management, social business and women's education. It will be known by the morning drama based on this novel, but at that time it was an era in which women were exposed to the front itself, and it rarely appears in remaining documents and articles. He looked up with his parents' Mitsui family and Daido Life, which she founded, and made a novel as close as possible to historical facts.

Asako works mainly in Osaka. Oh, when I came to Saga, there is a scene where I came to Tokyo to study the Chamber of Commerce that I can do in Tokyo. We go to Yokohama by boat from Osaka, take a train from Yokohama to Shimbashi, and walk to Tsukiji's office. On the way, I encountered Yukichi Fukuzawa while walking around Shimbashi. These are probably fictions in the drama.

We donated 5,000 yen (about 30 million now) from Asako's personal property to Naruse, and after consulting with his parents' Mitsui family, we received a donation of 5,220 tsubo of the site of Mejirodai in Toshima-ku. Both of them, who had set the donation target of 300,000 yen, had only about 100,000 yen due to the recession, so there was no need for land costs. With this, Kansai supporters who claimed to open the school in Osaka have decided to open the school in Tokyo. Then, as the opening of the school became one step concrete, donations increased, and eventually 320,000 yen was collected.

The above picture was on the explanation board at the former Shimbashi Station and at the entrance of the station building, remain. In 1872, a railway was opened between Shimbashi and Yokohama. It took us until 1889 for the Shimbashi and Kobe to be opened. When Asako went to Okuma's residence in Waseda, it seems that he came by train instead of traveling by boat.

The address of the old stop is Higashi-Shimbashi 1-chome, Minato-ku, near the border with Chuo-ku. The reason why the location is different from the current Shimbashi Station is that it was planned to extend the track to Ueno later, and at this location it seems that it was shifted to divide Ginza. Later, it became Shiodome freight station, and it became a station carrying a lot of luggage to Tsukiji Market.

Tomoatsu Godai is treated as a leading role in the drama intimate relationship with Asako in "Asaga came". Dean Fujioka, who was still unknown at the time, played and became famous all at once.

In the drama, Asako, who got off at Shimbashi Station, walks around the city of Tokyo for several hours and arrives at the Higashi-Hiroseikan office in Tsukiji. I tell you that 85 gas lamps are lit between one ri. So I met with Toshimichi Okubo. And a few days later, Okubo will be assassinated by a riot. The setting is in May 1878. All of these are the adaptation colors of the drama.

Koseikan is a company created in Osaka by the fifth generation, who was ordered to cast money, starting mine management for the necessary gold and silver. The office located in Tokyo after purchasing the Handa Ginzan in Fukushima is Higashi Hironarikan. Built in 1874, the address is 7-chome, Tsukiji Shineicho. (In the drama, I say that there are about 200 employees.) In addition, the fifth generation also starts an indigo manufacturing business to make indigo a major industry. Choyokan is located at 8-chome, Tsukiji Irifunecho as an office in Tokyo. It is called Tochoyokan separately from Osaka. It is written that it was adjacent to Higashi Koseikan.

The above picture was written based on the actual measurement address of Tokyo in 1895. The name of the address is unknown in the actual measurement map. The upper part of the picture is the north, and there is an explanation version of the birthplace of Ryunosuke Akutagawa on the current Akashi Elementary School side. The place of birth is written as 8-chome, Irifune-cho. Until a few years ago, the explanatory version was placed along with the ruins of Takumi Asanouchi's mansion on the south side, but was moved to the current location on the north side.

This is a photo of Akashi Elementary School, behind the former St. Luke Hospital. In front of the tree is an explanation of the birthplace of Ryunosuke Akutagawa. This place seems to be the place where Higashi Koseikan was located. The fifth generation focuses on the indigo business and expands it on a large scale, but the eastern part is closed due to difficulties in quality and transportation does not go well. The father of Akutagawa, Toshizo Niihara, started a dairy cow ranch called Komakisha in 1883. The land of Niihara is located at the northeastern end of 8-chome, Irifune-cho, and it is said that there was a house and a barn. Some study that Niihara was borrowed from the fifth generation of the landowner.

Asako and the fifth generation have no assurance that they have met with the remaining materials. Chieko Furukawa exchanges two people who know their faces at the 150th anniversary of Takaharu Mitsui, the founder of the Mitsui Koishikawa family, in Kyoto in 1884. Asako, who is unable to step into a coal mine accident or bank management, said, "I'm sorry. Have you ever started with yourself? Work is life-threatening. Even if I die, work will remain, don't do that kind of work. "I'm sick and bearish, but I'm sorry if I lose. There is a scene where people say, "I don't have others, do myself." The setting has changed, but this line appears in the drama too. The following year, the fifth generation died at Higashi Koseikan in Tsukiji. It was two years ago when Asako and Shibusawa met in Osaka.

It seems that the exchange between Asako and Godai and Shibusawa is not recorded. Asako and the fifth generation, who focused on the economic development of Osaka, had the opportunity to meet each other many times. Some people write that there is a shogi score that Asako won in Go, a common hobby with Shibusawa.

Asako Hirooka, who created an insurance company with the name of Daido based on this origin after throwing away small differences and attaching them to Daido.

Eiichi Shibusawa, who tried to increase the public interest based on the theory 　of theory and abacus, based on the theory of moral economy.

　　Tomoatsu Godai, who married a national affairs with a wide variety of talents named after Saisuke and the lord and ruled his private desire.

Shibusawa and the fifth generation did not form a conglomerate unlike businessmen of the same period. In particular, the fifth generation should have made a huge profit, but when he died, many borrowed books came out. You seem to have invested in the people around you.

I think one day a drama will be created with the fifth generation as the leading role. Of course, the cast is Dean Fujioka.
