Koedo Itabashi

The other side of the darkness of the summer night

  It looks like a Pokemon monster ball.

  But it's a bit different.

 

Summer with unusual heat.

I can't stand sleeping at night.

It was a mysterious book that suddenly woke up late at night and reached out without sleep.

A strange sign of another world stood around the bed.

 

The strongest ghost that appears in the most terrible form of Japan's ghost stories, and the most widely known monster is "Oiwa-sama" of "Tokaido Yotsuya Kaidan".

 

I was still young when I was exposed to the rock.

My mother was walking along the street in front of the station, where the lights were lit even late at night, while carrying me crying and crying.

There are two movie theaters lined up in front of the station.

At that time, the movie theater showed the contents of the screening with picture signs.

In preparation for the screening, the craftsmen were replacing huge picture signs.

I saw it.

What emerged on the bare light bulb for construction was "Oiwa-sama," whose face collapsed half-sided, disturbed hair, and painted mud paints.

I rubbed my face on my mother's back and stiffened my body.

The young mother ran crazy and left the place.

For a while, I didn't even want to get close to the station.

 

Shinkawa, Chuo-ku

"Oiwa Inari Tamiya Shrine" is built at Shinkawa 2-chome.

"Tokaido Yotsuya Kaidan" is a Kabuki work written by the fourth generation Nanboku Tsuruya.

The fourth generation Udanji Ichikawa commemorates the performance at Namikaza in Osaka, and dedicates Obyado stone so that the performance will be greatly entered so that no monsters will occur and the Senakiraku will be safely greeted.

It is said to be the oldest in the city in Taisho 3 (1914).

Maruishi above the pedestal is the family crest of the Tamiya family in Tomoe Yin Yang comma-shaped bead.

The monster during the performance is intriguing even from the audience.

When the story is added, the story becomes more true than ever.

If multiple people move behind the scenes or in a pitch-black abyss, unexpected accidents and troubles occur.

It would have been necessary to pray for safety with all the members in order to tighten their minds.

 

The shrine was blowing a cool breeze that made me forget the hustle and bustle of the city.

 

Samoncho, Yotsuya, Shinjuku-ku

Yotsuya Samoncho, Shinjuku-ku The other side of the darkness of summer night

Speaking of the shrines related to Yotsuya Kaidan, Oiwa Inari Tamiya Shrine is located in a quiet residential area in Yotsuya Samoncho, Shinjuku-ku.

It is the place where the former Tamiya family residence was located.

It was relocated to Shinkawa, Chuo-ku when shrine hall was burned down by the fire in Samoncho, Yotsuya, and was revived in Yotsuya Samoncho when the shrine hall in Shinkawa was burned down in the war.

Both shrines can be said to be common shrines.

"Kanaemoto Chushingura" is a work that has been featured in various fields, from puppet ballad drama, Kabuki, talks and rakugo to drama, television, and movies based on the Akaho incident.

"Tokaido Yotsuya Kaidan" was born as a spin-off version of Chushingura's foreign biography for summer.

In contrast to Chushingura's loyalty, Yotsuya Kaidan reveals the extremes of unrighteousness.

According to one theory, it is said that the work of the samurai class loyalty was intensely drawn down.

In order for the most feared ghost, "Oiwa-sama," to appear, there must be a violent person and a violent incident that triggers it.

It is Iyemon Mintani who is responsible for it.

Despite being a Namishi Akaho, he forgets the enemy of the lord, treats his wife, Oiwa, wicked, works injustice, and kills people one after another with his own desire.

 

 The other side of the darkness of the summer night

 

From the time I learned about the fun of the darkness of the night, I became attracted to Iyemon for some reason.

She has a dangerous atmosphere that captures young daughters at a glance while wearing the elements of extreme evil.

I can't do it with a man who is so gentle. I can't create the fear of a rock.

Iyemon's eyes, voice color, and selfishness in the darkness of Iyemon.

Every time I saw the stage or movie, I was following Iyemon.

Nagateruyama Younji Temple in Yotsuya Samoncho, where there is a well of Iwasama Yuen. There is also a temple cafe.

There are many worshipers who visit carefully as a temple where you can experience the spirit of marriage and marriage.

 

In order to create the fear of Iwa-sama, Kabuki presents various tricks and ideas.

"Kamisuki" that falls off every time you comb your hair with a comb.

"Return of the doorboard" at the place of a relaxing pond

The "Japanese lantern Pass" appears from the burning Japanese lantern in the place of Hebiyama Anjitsu.

"Buddha altar return" that drags people into the altar

The "wall out" disappears in the wall

A group of rats, the incarnation of spiritual power.

The tricks that are deployed one after another on a dim stage are truly historical drama attractions.

 

Nishisugamo, Toshima-ku

The other side of the darkness of the summer night in Nishi-Sugamo, Toshima-ku

When I was walking in Nishisugamo.

Suddenly, looking up at the sky where it is likely to rain, the streetlight says "Oiwadori Shopping Association".

Oh, I saw it twice.

Isn't it a naming that jumped out of the story?

The name of the street is already "Oiwa-Dori".

It is a nickname for the road connecting Shin-Koshinzuka Station and Nishigahara 4-chome Station along the Toden Arakawa Line.

 

 The other side of the darkness of the summer night

 

In the past, I saw the "Tatsu-dori Shopping Association" when I was walking in Minami-Senju, Arakawa-ku.

It may be the name coming from Kozukahara, but it's hardened in that surreal.

"Oiwa-dori" has been a shock since then.

No, no, enough to become the name of the street, the rock would have become the center of the hearts of the common people as a spiritual god who cut off evil and tied good ties.

Chotokuyama Myogyoji Temple is located across the Arakawa Line track.

The stage of Yotsuya Kaidan was Yotsuyacho, Zoshigaya.

Zoshigaya has a grave of the Tamiya family, and according to the monument, it was moved from Zoshigaya in 1909.

 

Myogyoji Temple has the Asano family's burial ground, and there is also the grave of Mrs. Takumi Asanouchi's wife, Yosenin.

The rock-sama grave was just in the back of the Asano family, as if it represented the front and back of "Chushingura" and "Yotsuya Kaidan".

 In the middle of shooting, the smartphone suddenly became hot and could not be operated.

 The cover was immediately removed, the power was turned off, and the heat was released.

 It was a hot afternoon, but cold things flowed on the back.
