Fish Market's board boat and stick hand swing

What was the fish shop in the Edo period?

At that time, there were no refrigerators, so the "Edo Fish Shop" was a fish shop in the Edo period.

"Teyande, Belabome,"

There is only an option to sell fish while saying, mullet's older brother (botefuri). It's a good time because you can also eat frozen Indian tuna.

For example, Tasuke Isshin, who was in and out of Hikozaemon Okubo's house, is a famous stick gesture.

Note: 1. Hikozaemon Okubo: Warlord from the Warring States period to the early Edo period. Edo shogunate's flagship.

2. The place where the residence of Hikozaemon Okubo, who was familiar with historical drama, was Hachiyoshien in Meguro. Hikozaemon Okubo was born in an old retainer house in Mikawa, and was active in the battle of Sekigahara as Ieyasu Tokugawa's retainer and contributed greatly to Hidetada Tokugawa and Iemitsu. I remember that Ryunosuke Tsukigata was a leading actor of Toei's historical drama actor.

If you say Tasuke Isshin, you are young Nakamura (Yorozuya) Nishikinosuke. The fact that Hikozaemon Okubo's residence is Meguro means that the range of stick gestures is considered to be the range of the Yamanote Line. It is self-evident because there are no refrigerators and you have to walk.

 Fish purchases are for fish that were fried at the fish market in Nihonbashi. When you come to the fish market, you will first stop by the barte Chaya in Shinagawacho on the west side of the Chuo Expressway, leave your balance sticks, etc., and easily visit the wholesaler. Since the store is small, large things like balance bars are in the way, so luggage is placed in a barte teahouse.

Every time you purchase a fish, you give it to the wholesaler a "chaya tag" with the name of the teahouse and stick hand gesture. With this, the wholesaler can deliver the goods to the teahouse.

 When the stick hand gesture has finished purchasing and returns to the teahouse and takes a break, the use of the wholesaler will leave the goods. Stick gestures pay money to the teahouse and go to their area to sell it. I carry a balance on my shoulder and carry it while shaking the tub, so it's called "stick hand gesture".
