Good evening. It's "Take-chan."

On the middle day of the three consecutive holidays in early November, I walked around Hongo 3-chome. This area is the area where the University of Tokyo was built on the site of the former residence of the former Kaga Domain, and because of its influence, many literary artists set up their residences. The aim of Brabra on the campus of the University of Tokyo is "Sanshiro Pond". Sanshiro Pond was the motif of Soseki Natsume's feature-length novel "Sanshiro".

The University of Tokyo Hongo Campus was a Kaga Domain mansion in the Edo period. Sanshiro Pond is part of Ikutokuen, a daimyo garden from the Edo period. The official name is "Ikutokuen Shinji Pond". In April 1629 (1629), when the Maeda family was the third lord of the Maeda family, there was a visit (visit) of Tokugawa 3rd Shogun Iemitsu and Ogosho Hidetada. It is said that the garden was maintained. This garden was Ikutokuen, and the pond was called "Shinji Pond".

It seems that Sanshiro and Mineko met on the banks of this pond at Soseki Natsume's Sanshiro, so they came to be called "Sanshiro Pond".

By the way, Soseki Natsume went to an alley called "Kiwaradana" in Nihonbashi. Beside Cored Nihonbashi, there is a monument to the monument of "Meisui Shirakiya Well" "The Stage of Soseki Masterpieces". The origin of the Kihara store is Takarada, where the carpenter's head, Takumi Kihara, who worked on the town after Ieyasu Tokugawa entered Edo. It is an alley where restaurants that appeared suddenly from the end of the Tokugawa period began to line the eaves around the Meiji 30s, and is also known as "Shokushojinmichi". Unfortunately, only the monument now conveys the remnants of the time.
