Radio exercises at Echizenbori Children's Park
Radio exercises begin at 6:30 with three or five gatherings from here and there.
①Radio gymnastics first ➁ Radio gymnastics second 3 Health and Welfare gymnastics 4 Exercise your body with everyone's gymnastics, radio and the shout of the chairman. The Akimasa Radio Gymnastics Event is free to participate in four types of gymnastics every morning except Sunday from March 3 to December 20. During the summer vacation, children and parents also participate and it is very lively.
What is "Welfare Exercise"? I think so. Welfare gymnastics is called Dai Nippon Welfare Gymnastics, which seems to be gymnastics made by the Ministry of Health and Welfare in 1941. ①Strength ➁ shoulders, 3 shoulders, 4 neck, 5 chest warped 6 horizontal 7 heavenly gymnastics 8 feet bending and stretching 9 deep breathing. ⑦With heavenly gymnastics, squatting and putting both hands into goo, with the voice of "Yoisho", opening the hand in the sky and with par. My heart is getting clearer.
Dr. Yutaka Ohno of the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Training Development Center wrote the following in the Nikkei Shimbun's "Mental Health Study". "Radio exercises not only have the effect of physical and mental health by moving the body, but they also worked to strengthen the connection between local people." Radio gymnastics!
Akimasa Elementary School in May
Akimasa Elementary School, where Akimasa Kindergarten is attached, is the "hometown of the heart" in the Shinkawa area.
Reigishima Hirone Elementary School, which was founded in the Meiji era, merged with Echizen Hori Hirone Elementary School, and opened in 1927 as Akimasa Hirone Elementary School in Tokyo. The school was closed because the auditorium was burned down in the war, leaving the auditorium, and all the children transferred to Keika Elementary School in Hatchobori (currently Kyoka Square).
It was revived as Harumasa Tachi Elementary School in Chuo-ku in September 1951, and it is said that the entrance ceremony in April of the following year was published in newspapers. However, over the years, the number of children has decreased, and it is likely to be consolidated, but it has been able to survive thanks to parents and local people. It is an elementary school that is deeply connected to the local community.
The story of Echizenbori Park Past and Present
At Echizenbori Park, neighbors have been cleaning early in the morning. In addition to Cinnamomum camphora, Ginkgo, Zelkova, Sakura, Japanese camellia, etc., there are also fruit trees such as plums, persimmons, princess apples, and karin. Persimmons are astringent persimmon and do not eat birds, but a few years ago, there was a "park's astringent persimmon eating party". Open the bag while pounding the astringent persimmon in the souvenir plastic bag on the day written in the manual, and try eating it, "Ama!"
By the way, what is like a round eye below that says "Echizenbori Children's Park Chuo-ku" in this photo? If you look closely, it was written on the left, "Echizenbori Park in Tokyo City" on the right, "Opened in May 1930". That's right. It seems to be one of the reconstruction parks built after the Great Kanto Earthquake.
After the war, we heard from elderly people that the affected people were building ballacs and living in the park. Then, I searched online to find out what the post-war life in Chuo-ku was like. Then, there was "life during and after the war in Chuo-ku" in 2013. In addition, there are materials such as food situation during the war and after the war, distribution system, education, play, etc. for each year, so I hope you can search once.

Reigishijima in the Meiji and Taisho eras was the center of downtown commerce.
This photo is a corner of Echizenbori Park. It's small, but it's a little garden with stepping stones. In the foreground, there is an explanation of the stone wall stone of Echizen moat, and when you go to the back, there is an explanation board of "Reigishijima Monument" and "The origin of Reigishijima", which describes the history and town name from the Edo period to the present. It has been. If you have a chance, please drop in.
Shinkawa, who thinks it is a town for ordinary people, said, "In the Meiji and Taisho eras, many taxpayers lived there, and there was a tide observatory, and it was the center of downtown commerce as a departure and arrival point for shipping in the bay and warehouse area." With the construction of Funairi moat, which began in the Edo period, it seems that marine transportation of daily necessities such as sake, soy sauce, and kerosene was actively carried out between Edo and the upper part.
Also, when we were children, there was Mitsubishi Warehouse and Sumitomo Warehouse on a vast site near the Sumida River, and large trucks were unloading. In addition, the office building of Sumitomo Warehouse was a stylish wooden two-story building, so I suddenly remembered that Hokkaido people who saw it said, "It looks like Otaru."
