Jikkendana Hinaichi 十軒店雛市 (doll market)
and a boy's doll market would be held before Tango no Sekku (children's day) in early summer.
Jikkendana was therefore full of people during these times.
In "Guide to Famous Spots of Edo", it is written that there were also doll markets
in 尾張町 Owari-chō, 浅草 Asakusa, 池之端 Ikenohata, 麹町 Kōji-machi and 駒込 Komagome,
but they were no match with Jikkendana.
Jikkendana was located on both sides of what is now Chuō-dōri around Muromachi 3 chōme, Nihonbashi.

At the beginning of the Meiji era, the Akashi Domain consisted of the town of Akashi and 144 villages.
