Look for the remnants of Kibiki-cho
"Kobikicho" is a name with a very good sound.
In the early Edo period, it was a town where sawmillers engaged in the construction and renovation of Edo Castle, and craftsmen who process wood with saws lived together.
The raw wood that has been transported is pulled, cut, shaved, and finished as a timber product.
The scent of wood drifts around the town.
Building materials are prepared, and the city of Edo is shaped.
You can feel the momentum that the town spreads out.
Sanjumabori, which was excavated in 1612 and connects the Kyobashi River and the Shiodome River. Kobiki-cho was built on the east side from north to south.
But it was not just the breath of the craftsmen.
In 1660, Kanya Morita, the first generation of Kanya Morita built a playhouse at 5-chome, Kibikicho and performed Kabuki.
puppet ballad drama's playhouses, the playhouses, and the showhouses were lined up, and they were quite busy.
The gorgeousness of the morning and evening of Edo and the shadows of the opposite are also included in the name of Kibiki-cho.
Ukiyo-e is drawn on the signboard at the site of Morita-za.
Oh, it's a great crowd.
Morita-za is standing on the roof and the banner is fluttering.
I guess Kidoguchi is crowded with customers to see their favorite actors at a glance.
It's the Edo version of that guy.
Received the Naoki Prize "Adding in Kibiki-cho"
Sayako Nagai, set in the neighborhood of Kobiki-cho and Morita-za, was selected for the 169th Naoki Prize.
Along with Ryosuke Kakine's Takashi Ashikaga as the main character, two novels of the period were collected.
I am personally happy that historical and historical novels are chosen.
The Akutagawa Prize was awarded by Sao Ichikawa's Hantzsch Buck.
The selection venue is Tsukiji's restaurant "Shin Kiraku".
The selection event was held on the second floor of the Naoki Prize and on the first floor of the Akutagawa Prize.
It's "Adding in Kibori-cho."
The people involved in the playhouse talk with each other from their own viewpoints.
The narrative looks like listening to a talk, and my body naturally gets sick.
The breath of the people of Ichii in Edo was conveyed, and there was a skill of the narration that wanted to catch up with the words.
If this story was told by the sixth generation of Sanyutei Ensei, I was wondering what kind of world would be developed.
Nowadays, I have no choice but to listen to the story on a rakugo CD, but I felt that the way I proceed with the story, the inflection of the voice of the person, the gesture, and the vividness of the scene drawing seemed to give unexpected discoveries to the work.
Kobiki-cho, which remains in the street name
The area with the place name of Kobiki-cho is incorporated into Ginza.
Looking at the "Chuo-ku Area Map" posted on the street corner, "Kinbikicho-dori" runs north and south on the east side of Kabukiza.
The strong will of those who want to leave the name of Kobiki-cho is used as the street name.
Morita-za was relocated from Kibiki-cho to Asakusa Saruwaka-cho during the reform of Tenpo. The name was changed to Morita-za in 1858. Moved to Shintomi-cho in 1872, and was renamed Shintomiza in 1875.
Kabukiza is located close to the area where Kiboricho was located.
The photo on the blog door is a picture of the tower that went up to Kabukiza.
It is written as the phoenix circle's crest and "Kibikicho Kyagenzukushi Kabukiza".
The commercial facility centered on souvenirs on the first basement floor of Kabukiza is "Kibikicho Square".
The name is written in gold letters on the weighting of the symbol large lantern (juke / bottom).
Street nameplate
On the display of the telegraph column, the street address display of Ginza and Kibikicho Street are lined up.
It's loved, Kiboricho.
