The guardrail on the roadway is designed with a military command reminiscent of Ryogoku Kokugikan and a fireworks reminiscent of the Sumida River Fireworks Festival, which originated from the fireworks of the river opening in both countries.

※　Ukiyo-e of Ryogoku Bridge, which stands on the embankment of Sumida River Terrace.

There are several theories at the time of creation, but it was in 1661 (the first year of Kanbun).

It was the Sumida River, which was called Okawa at that time, and was the second bridge following Senjuohashi.

In order to strengthen the defense of Edo Castle, the bridge to the Sumida River, which is further circumference of outer moat, was restricted.

However, during the great fire of the Meiryaku era in 1657 (Meiryo 3), 100,000 casualties were killed or injured in Edo citizens who lost their escape area without a bridge, so the main purpose was fire prevention and disaster prevention Was bridged.

In order to prevent the spread of fire to wooden bridges, a permanent building was not created for bridge filling and vacant lots were secured.

This was the fire sanctuary, and was called Hirokoji.

　　It was counted as one of the three major Hirokoji temples in Edo, along with Ueno and Asakusa.

Ryogoku Hirokoji Temple in Nishizumi was lined with temporary show huts, playhouses, teahouses, etc. in the vacant lot, and flourished as the best place in Edo.

The name of the bridge was named because it was on the border between Musashi and Shimousa.

The head office on the east bank was once included in Shimousa.

The border was changed in 1686 (Tadayoshi 3), but the name of the bridge remained.

There is a "Sabu" written by Shugoro Yamamoto at hand.

It's a novel that I read occasionally when I bought it again.

The writing is a scene where rust crosses the Ryogoku Bridge over the light rain while crying.

From west to east.

I'm going back to Kasai from Edo.

Eiji, who is serving in the same store, forcibly brings back to the Edo side, calming down the squirrels with rain and tears.

The bridge connects the left bank and the right bank to improve the convenience of daily life.

It is a place where people meet and travel.

Through rivers flowing above and below bridges, people interact, promote logistics, and communicate with each other.

However, it may not only be a place that affects people's way of life.

At that time, I had crossed the bridge.

When I first got "Sabu", I moved violently, "I have to do something."

The place that divides the most pages among the novels is the Ishikawajima People's Ashoro.

There is Ishikawajima Lighthouse in Tsukuda Park.

It is a monument of a white turret that was built on the site of the site of the people's visit.

In 1866 (Keio 2), Junji Shimizu, a magistrate of Hitoshishoba, made use of the proceeds of oil squeezing at the venue to build a nightlight using human feet.

Lighting overnight greatly contributed to the safety of ships sailing at the mouth of the Sumida River and off the coast of Shinagawa.

"Sabu" is widely popular while changing its shape to video and stage.

I asked aloud what would happen if the words spoken in the novel were expressed as dialogues.
