Hello everyone. It's New River. This year, too. What kind of year was 2024 for you?
This year, the second year of "Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent", I managed to clear my goal of "Monthly Blog", and I also appeared on Chuo FM radio program twice, so I think I was able to do my correspondent activities with satisfaction.
By the way, the last blog of New River this year was the last time, "A must-see for everyone planning to take the test!" The 17th Chuo-ku Tourism Certification "Tsutashige" Expectation Problem was created! As a sequel to Part1, I would like to introduce the remaining 5 questions and the past 2 questions related to Tsutashige (problem
First of all, I would like to look back on the previous blog, Part 1.

A. Gennai Hiraga
B. Kisanji Hoseido
C. Shigemasa Kitao (Kitao)
D. Harumachi Koikawa, Koikawa
[Aim]
Questions 6 to 8 were questions about the relationship with people who lived in the same era as Tsutashige.
I think the best way to know Tsutashige, who worked in various networks with playwrights, Kyoka, Ukiyo-e artists in the publishing world of Edo, is to see Tsutashige's relationships.
First of all, it is a question from the Urokogata Yamagobe version "Hosomi Ako Edo" (Yoshiwara Yukaku Guidebook), which is said to be the first publication where the name of Tsutashige can be confirmed.

Gennai, who was said to have been a male-colored person, wrote the preface to the Yoshiwara Yukaku Guidebook, which seemed to be a great surprise to the public.
B. Kisanji Hoseido (1735 (1735)-1814 (1814)) is a playwright such as yellow cover and is also a Kyoka singer (Kyojinna "Tegara no Okamochi"). . Together with Shigemasa Kitao of this question choice, we supported the early Tsutaya.

C. Gyokutei Makoto
D. Hiroshige Utagawa
[Aim]
Following Question 6, this question is about the relationship with people who lived in the same era as Tsutashige. In this question, people who are not working with Tsutashige are asked.
[Read answer]
D. Hiroshige Utagawa
[Description]
As introduced in Part 1 and Question 1 last time, Tsutashige was born in 1750 and died in 1797 at the age of 47 (48 in counting years). On the other hand, Hiroshige Utagawa was born in 1797 (1797), when Tsutashige died, so he never worked with Tsutashige.
The relationship between the other three (a to c) with Tsutashige is as follows.
A. Katsushika Hokusai (1760-1849) (1849) is one of Japan's leading ukiyo-e artists who are familiar with "Thirty-Six Views of Mt. Fuji Kanagawa Oki Nami Ura" (published around 1830) to 1832), depicted on the new 1,000 yen bill.
At first, at the gate of Shunsho Katsukawa, an ukiyo-e artist introduced in Q6, d above, he mainly drew actor paintings as Shunro Katsukawa, but later in 1792 (1792), I started working at Tsutaya, and I started writing Kyoden Santo's songs and book selections from Kyoden Santo and Kyokakoto.
The work we often see, such as "Thirty-Six Views of Mt. Fuji" above, will be published after Tsutashige died.
B. Jukasha 19 (1765 (1765)-1831 (1831)) is a playwright who wrote yellow covers and humorous books. The first edition in 1802 (1802), "Tokaido Naka-Kurige" (completed in 1822) completed in 1802 (1822), became a popular writer at a glance.
19 was born as a child of a samurai in Suruga Province. After serving as a samurai in Edo and Osaka, he returned to Edo in 1794 (1794) to meet Tsutashige, and while boarding at Tsutaya, work called "Dosahiki" (work to paint materials such as paper) I came to do it. After that, he immediately began to play an active role as a playwright, and published a yellow cover from Tsutaya.
C. Makoto (1767 (1767)-1848 (1848)) was born as a lower-class samurai serving the Shogunate (Hagimoto) of Fukagawa, Edo. In 1790 (1790), he entered the gate of Kyoden Santo in Question 8, U, and later became the head of Tsutaya, and at first worked on yellow cover as a playwright, but later turned to a reader. Representative works include "Takao Funajimon" (published in 1796) and "Nanso Satomi Hakkenden" (first edition in 1814 (1814) to 1842 (1842) Completed).
※ The figure below shows a comparison between Tsutashige and the life of the other four people (age count years).
Katsushika Hokusai "Ehon Azuma Asobi" (published in 1802, 1802) (from the explanation board of the site of "Koshodo" on Honmachidori, Otemmacho (13-8, Nihonbashi Daidenmacho).
The following explanation was given on the website of the Tokyo Metropolitan Library.
＞This is a picture depicting the storefront of a picture paper shop called Tsutaya Koshodo. At the entrance of the store, there is a signboard with the name of Juzaburo Tsutaya, a book by Kyoden Santo and advertisements of Kyoka books are lined up, and a Nishiki-e is placed in the back of the store, depicting a samurai who is preparing for travel. I am.
The picture included in "Eimoto Toyu" was originally an illustration drawn in ink painting in a Kyoka book called "Toyu" published by Juzaburo Tsutaya in 1799 (1799). The painter of this book, Katsushika Hokusai, is famous as an ukiyo-e artist, has published several Kyoka picture books from Tsutaya. "Eimoto Toyu" is a book published by extracting only the part of the picture from the Kyoka book and making it a coloring book.
Since Tsutashige died in 1797 (1797), the "Juzaburo Tsutaya" in this explanation seems to be the "Yusuke" of the guard who became the "second generation Juzaburo Tsutaya". The second generation has published a number of Hokusai's Kyoka picture books, such as "Higamoto Toyu" and "Toto Meishoi Chiran" (published in 1800), and the relationship with Hokusai seems to have been deeper.
A mosaic mural on the Sumida River Terrace (right bank) between Chuo-ohashi Bridge and Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge. The work room of the Chuo Ward Welfare Center was created with the motif of Katsushika Hokusai's "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji Takeyo Tsukudajima" (published around 1831).
Shinenzan Toyoin at Kachidoki 4-chome, there is a 19 tomb of Tokasha. The stone monument at the entrance of the hospital (left photo) was written by Musei Tokugawa, a lawyer and comic talker, from 1894 to 1971 (1971).
Question 8.
In the publishing world of Edo, Tsutashige worked with playwrights, Kyoka, and Ukiyo-e artists by building various networks. So, who is the person who worked with Tsutashige and is not a ukiyo-e artist?
A. Nanpo Ota (Ota Nanpo)
B. Utamaro Kitagawa
C. Kyoden Santo (Santo Kyoden)
D. Sharaku Toshusai (Toshusai)
[Aim]
This question continues to question the relationship with people who lived in the same era as Tsutashige. In this question, people who worked with Tsutashige and who are not Ukiyo-e artists were asked.
Unlike the above-mentioned question and question 7, this question cannot be derived unless you understand which field the person involved with Tsutashige was active in. And knowing them is very important to know Tsutashige's relationships, scope of work, etc.
[Read answer]
A. Nanpo Ota (Ota Nanpo)
[Description]
A. Nanpo Ota (1749 (1749)-1823 (1823)) is a Kyoka who represents the Edo period (Kyona "Yomono Akara"), and is also a playwright such as yellow cover. I'm not an ukiyo-e artist. The other issue was called "Shokusanjin", and his status was a samurai (shogunomi / family).
The Kyoka song collection "Wanzai Kyokashu" (published by 1783) by Minamiune, and Tsutashige was also called "Tsuta Karamaru" (published by 1783)) entered the Kyoka world under the name "Tsuta Karamaru" and deepened friendship with Minamiune. Tsutashige prepared a stage for singing Kyoka, and published works created on the spot from Tsutaya as "Ita Heavy Edition Kyoka Selection".
B. Utamaro Kitagawa (around 1753 (1753)-1806 (1806)) is one of Japan's leading ukiyo-e artists, but the details such as when and where they were born are unknown. The details of the encounter with Tsutashige are unknown, but it is said that Utamaro fell in love with Tsutashige's masculine and Tsutashige fell in love with Utamaro's talent. Eventually, Utamaro began to create various works while staying at Tsutashige's house.
First of all, in 1781 (1781), I drew an illustration of a drama called "Minaridaitsujinjakuengi", and for the first time, I used the name "Kamaro". After that, Kyoka picture books such as "Ehon Mushi Erami" (published in 1788)) and "The daughter who blows the women's face ten products and poppins (Fujionsojippon and Poppins)" (Including 1790), a leading beauty of the world (Ukiyo-e, around 1790).
C. Kyoden Santo (1761 (1761)-1816 (1816)) was first an ukiyo-e artist named Masanobu Kitao, who was mastered by Shigemasa Kitao of Q6. Later, he became a ukiyo-e artist with a yellow cover and a world stylish book.
He became a playwright, and his interaction with Tsutashige became active, but in the reform of Kansei (1787 (1787)-1793 (1793)), he was sentenced to half-character punishment (1791) and other fashionable books (published in 1791) were banned, and fines were sentenced to both hand-chain days. After that, he advanced to the world of reading books, but gradually became overwhelmed by his former disciple, Q7, U's musician Makoto, who wrote bright and solid works in Chinese culture.
In addition, his masterpiece as Ukiyo-e artist Masanobu Kitao is a book collection "Seirou Meikunji Hitsushu", which combines the picture of Yoshiwara Oiran with the calligraphy of Oiran's handwritten books, in 1784 (1784). Tsutashige published.
D. Sharaku Toshusai (around 1763 (1763)-1820 (1820)) is also known as a mysterious ukiyo-e artist whose birth date is unknown. What we know is that about 140 ukiyo-e prints were published from Tsutaya from 1794 (1794) to the following year, such as "Edobei of the third generation Otani Oniji". It is only that. There are various theories about the identity, but the most influential thing is Saito Jurobe, a Noh actor in the Awakuni (now Tokushima Prefecture) and the Tokushima Domain.
Explanation board of Sharaku Toshusai on the south side of Nishizume Kameshima Bridge over the Kamejima River. Sharaku (Jurobe Saito) is said to have lived near Jizobashi in Hatchobori, Edo (currently near Nihonbashi Kayabacho 3-chome).
※ The table below summarizes the types and outlines of the main literary arts and publications in the middle and late Edo period, as well as the people who were active in the field and representative works listed in this blog. When I studied Tsutashige, various people and publications come out, so I tried to organize them in a table.
Question 9.
The following 1) to 4) are sentences that explain Tsutashige's achievements. Which of the following are the correct combinations?
１） Tsutashige opened a bookstore called Koshodo for the first time in Tsuyu-cho, and as a leading publisher (published person), greatly contributed to the prosperity of Edo culture.
２） Tsutashige also published Yoshiwara's guidebooks and prostitute reputation books, responding to Yoshiwara's economic demands and supporting cultural aspects.
３） Tsutashige worked with playwrights, kyoka, and ukiyo-e artists by building a diverse network.
４） Tsutashige himself created many works in various fields such as drama, Kyoka books, and Ukiyo-e.
A.1 and 2
B.2 and 3
C. 3 and 4
D.1 and 4
[Aim]
This question is an error and combination problem that asks Tsutashige's achievements.
[Read answer]
B.2 and 3
[Description]
１） It was Yoshiwara, where Tsutashige was born and raised, first opened Koshodo. Looking at past questions and the Internet, it is easy to think that it opened for the first time in Toyu-cho, but as shown in Part 1 and Question 5 last time, it was rented at Yoshiwara / Daimonguchi, run by my brother-in-law, and at Hitechaya in Ikumamichi. It was the first time that I opened it.
２） That's right. As shown in Part 1 and Question 5 last time, Tsutashige published Yoshiwara's guidebooks such as "Yoshiwara Hosomi" and "Ichimoku Senbon", which resembled a prostitute as an insert, and has a great economic effect on the local Yoshiwara. It has greatly contributed to the prosperity of Edo culture.
３） That's right. Tsutashige met playwrights such as Kizoji Hoseido, Harumachi Koikawa, Nanpo Ota, Kyoden Santo, and Ukiyo-e artists such as Utamaro Kitagawa, Katsushika Hokusai, Sharaku Toshusai, and so on.
４） Tsutashige wrote a mad song with the mad name "Tsuta Karamaru" and also makes drama, but I don't think it can be said that he made many works himself. Also, I don't think there is a record that Tsutashige himself drew ukiyo-e and left his work.
Tsutashige's greatest achievement is that he built a variety of networks with playwrights, crazy singers, and Ukiyo-e artists, and produced their works as a publisher.
Question 10.
Tsutashige was active as a "printer" (published) in the Edo period, but in the modern style,
１） In the Act on the Creation, Protection and Utilization of Content (commonly known as the Content Promotion Act), "Content" refers to "Movie, Music, Theater, Literary,
２） According to a report by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's Bookstore Promotion Project Team (October 4, 2024), sales of publications, which are one of the "contents", are decreasing year by year, and purchases at bookstore stores are decreasing, while net book stores are increasing, and sales from 160 billion yen in 2013 to 2022. The total purchase ratio also grew from 8.1% to 20.5%.
３） The content industry is expected to become a growth industry in the future due to expansion of distribution as digital content and expansion into overseas markets. In addition, there are great expectations from the area of regional development, such as fostering as a regional industry, contributing to regional brands, and economic ripple effects on the local community.
４） "Content" is a part of intellectual property rights (general term for patents, copyrights, trademark rights, etc.), and
A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4
[Aim]
Finally, I was conscious of the "now" of the theme problem "The time and present when Juzaburo Tsutaya lived", and asked "Publishing Business", which Tsutashige had been a business (Nariwai), in light of the "content industry" of today's era. I tried.
In order to correctly understand the characteristics of "content" and "content industry" as they are, this question was all correct, referring to national laws and publications.
In addition, there is the word "media" in a concept similar to "content", but the former refers to "content" (contents / contents), which means the creation of movies, music, drama, literary arts,
[Read answer]
D. 4
[Description]
１） That's right. Article 2 of the Law Concerning the Creation, Protection and Utilization of Content (hereinafter referred to as the "Content Promotion Act") defines "Content".
２） That's right. According to the report of the project team, considering the current distribution of books, only bookstores in bookstores, libraries, and online sales have decreased, and there are no bookstores in about one-quarter of municipalities already. It seems to be falling. If Tsutashige travels back in time to the present day, you will be surprised.…。
３） That's right. The question sentence was based on the publication "Reference" (No.688) published by the National Diet Library in May 2008, "Policy Trends and Issues for Content Industry Promotion" (written by Hirofumi Yamaguchi). It's a bit old, but I don't think the characteristics of the content industry have yet to change.
Also, in terms of the expectations of the "content industry" from the viewpoint of regional promotion, I think that Tsutashige has had a great economic effect on Oedo Yaohachi-cho and greatly contributed to the prosperity of Edo culture.
４） That's right. In response to acts that infringe on intellectual property rights, the "
In 1775 (1775), when Tsutashige lived, a heavy board case (see Part 1 and Question 5 last time) was punished by publishing the same thing as other publishers without permission (see Part 1 and Question 5). At that time, there was no concept of intellectual property rights, but since printing (convex printing) was performed by engraving letters and pictures on wooden boards to create a plate (woodblock), ownership of the wooden board (woodblock). It is said that there was (plate stock = copyright).

The last blog of this year is "A must-see for everyone planning to take the test! The 17th Chuo-ku Tourism Certification "Tsutashige" Expectation Problem was created! (Part 2) ", how was it?
In November, December, and February, I created the "Tsutashige" forecast problem, and I think I was able to study myself very much and dig myself deeply into Tsutashige.
Now, at the beginning of the year, Taiga drama series will begin. Also, from next year, various events related to Tsutashige will be held in various places (for example, the first broadcast public viewing in Taito (January 5, 2025) at the Asakusa View Hotel, "special exhibition Juzaburo Tsutaya Content Business Fengunji" (June 5, 202Taiga drama series) at the Tokyo National Museum. I'm not looking forward to this anymore! But I have to do my best to study for the exam. In this case, I wonder if the blog in January will write about Tsutashige~
Well, it's a little early, but everyone, please have a good year!
※ As in Part 1, this "expected problem" is a blog that I personally compiled my personal opinion as a blog, regardless of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association and the Chuo-ku Tourism Certification Management Office. Therefore, we have created it with great care, but we are not responsible for any errors in the contents, so please be aware that we are not responsible.
