Did you understand this problem of Chuo-ku sightseeing certification?
The exhibition that shows the history of the postal system is interesting now!
Problems related to "the birthplace of mail" were presented at the 16th Chuo-ku Tourism Certification.
If you don't remember the history and people of the Japanese postal system, you may have been a little confused, but how did you take the test? In this article, we also introduce recommended Chuo-ku sightseeing certification test preparation videos.
An exhibition that tells the transition of uniforms! Even in the days when postal workers had handguns…
Currently, on the walls outside the Nihonbashi Post Office, changes in uniforms and the history of the postal system are displayed.
I thought it was unique to Japan's birthplace of postal mail (1871).
The photo shows "~ Uniform change 1 ~" and "~ Uniform change 2 ~".
It's very easy to understand because you actually wear uniforms.
※The photo was taken in February 2024. We have processed the photo so that you can't see the face.
The uniform of the post office courier at that time is a functional outfit that mixes Japanese and Western tastes.
It is also interesting to see how the distribution of Japanese and Western countries gradually change as the times progress.
●happi coat → Clothes
●Sandals → (later shoes)
●Marukasa → (later hat)
※Regarding the change of uniforms, the commentary on the “Museum Note” on the website of the Postal Museum is also helpful.
In the past, I have heard that the possession of handguns (postal protection guns) was specially permitted to ensure the safety of postal workers.
※The Postal and Postal Museum (Tokyo Skytree Town Soramachi 9F) stores mail protection guns (*acted for loss of fire function).
Appearance of Nihonbashi Post Office
