The days in Komoro that shapes Shimazaki Fujimura's youth
When I was in high school, I was invited by a music teacher to the chorus club in a song test, and I was confident in singing secretly, so I joined the chorus club halfway in the form of taking that invitation I decided to do it.
At that time, in high school club activities, there were many opportunities to sing German songs such as Schuman and Schubert's songs and Italian Canzone for competitions and regular concerts, but also `` Palm Fruit (Toson Shimazaki / Poetry), '' which invites nostalgia, was definitely one of my favorite songs.
The composer of the high school song I attended was Kosaku Yamada, who is also famous for "Akatonbo" and "This Road", and I may have felt that Toraji Onaka, who was under the gate, composed the palm fruit.
When I suddenly became a Chuo-ku sightseeing correspondent and learned that Mr. Fujimura Shimazaki was a graduate of Yasuaki Elementary School, the first thing that came to mind was "coconut fruit" rather than "breakdown" or "before dawn".
Nagano Prefecture goes to the Fujimura Memorial Hall in Komoro City
By the way, during the hot and hot months, I visited the Fujimura Memorial Hall and the Komoro Gijuku Memorial Hall in Komoro City, Nagano Prefecture.
Transferred to Komoro Gijuku as a teacher
Toson Shimazaki will be assigned to Komoro Gijuku, run by Kumaji Kimura, as a Japanese and English teacher. (1899, 27 years old)
Teacher and Writing Activities
In 1901, he published a collection of poems "Ochiumeshu" as a work, and one of the verses contained in this is "coconut fruit".
He retired from Komoro Gijuku in April 1905, said goodbye to Komoro Life for six years and one month, and moved to Tokyo with his family.
The details of the exhibits, such as works, materials, and artifacts, will be omitted here, but after living here in Komoro, "clouds", "sketchings of Chikuma River", and "Ochiumeshu" will be contributed.
The poetry monument of "coconut fruit" is also here.
Mr. Fujimura Shimazaki has a strong interest in painting since childhood, and he has also thought of becoming a painter. The "time" spent in Komoro leaves the world of poetry and studies prosecutions that write while watching things like drawing. It may not be an exaggeration to say that this pictorial sentence expression has resulted in these masterpieces and is the basis of today's national language.
Don't forget "Fujimura Soba" too.
In addition, you can also eat "Fujimura soba" in Komoro, so be sure to enjoy it! The sweet and sour apple tempura unique to the apple kingdom Shinshu is also attached to the soba topping.
(The photo shows not only Fujimura soba, but also tempura assorted and rice balls with additional orders.)
Fujimura soba can be served with "Kusa flute".
Mr. Kusafue, who is close to the Fujimura Memorial Hall and Komoro Gijuku Ruins, offers soba noodles. After visiting Komoro's historic sites and walking, you will be able to make it more delicious. (It was quite popular and there were many customers, but the rotation was fast, so please try it.)
Please also refer to this blog, which was digging into "Shimazaki Fujimura's roots" at exactly the same timing.
