quote
In 1634, during the Edo period, as the outer moat of the Edo Castle was built, a number of temples and shrines moved to the Yotsuya area on the western edge of Shinjuku.
In 1698, Naitō-Shinjuku had developed as a new (shin) station (shuku or juku) on the Kōshū Kaidō, one of the major highways of that era. Naitō was the family name of a daimyo whose mansion stood in the area; his land is now a public park, the Shinjuku Gyoen.

In 1920, the town of Naitō-Shinjuku that comprised large parts of present-day Shinjuku, parts of Nishi-Shinjuku and Kabukichō was integrated into Tokyo City. Shinjuku began to develop into its current form after the Great Kantō earthquake in 1923, since the seismically stable area largely escaped the devastation. Consequently, West Shinjuku is one of the few areas in Tokyo with many skyscrapers.

New Yotsuya Naitō Station 四谷内藤新駅

As one of the four stations of Edo, the new station of Naitō Shinjuku
was an important place bustling with activity.
Initially, the first station along the 甲州道中 Kōshū Highway was 高井戸 Takaido.
However, Takaido was a long way from Nihonbashi
and the journey there would be wearisome for horses and humans alike.
The new station of Naitō was therefore set up around the Genroku period (1688-1704) as a new relay station.

高松喜六 Takamatsu Kiroku (? - 1713)
高松喜兵衛 Takamatsu Kihei
and the beginning of Naito Shinjuku / Naitō-Shinjuku 内藤新宿.

He is the "founding father of Naitō-Shinjuku 内藤新宿 Naito Shinjuku".
Kiroku was village headman of 浅草阿部川町 Asakusa Abekawamachi and helped develop Shinjuku after a new legislation in 1697.
Since his time, the head of the Takamatsu family took the name of Kiroku.

- quote -
Koshu-kaido Avenue was the main road from Nihon-bashi Bridge to Kofu, and from Kofu connected to Shimo-Suwa via the Nakasendo Avenue. Nihon-bashi Bridge was a long way from the first inn area —Takaido— on the Koshu-kaido Avenue, and travelers had a difficult time making the trip. For this reason, upon the request of Lord Takamatsu Kiroku , authorization was received to place an inn in an area midway.
Since the inn was placed on the property of 内藤 Lord Naito, who returned this land to the Shogun government, and since the inn was new, the area was called Naito-Shinjuku (Naito new inn), thus marking the origin of the name Shinjuku for the area.
On March 15, 1947, the three areas of former Yotsuya, Ushigome, and Yodobashi cities merged to create Shinjuku City. The name Shinjuku was used not only because of its historical significance, but also because Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden and Shinjuku Station were well known across Japan.

The town of Shinjuku dates from the late 17th century, when a post-station was set up there
on the Koshu-kaido on the northwestern edge of Edo (present-day Tokyo).
To the south, Yoyogi was then mainly sparsely populated hills that rolled on as far as the eye could see.

Yodobashi 淀橋 "Yodo Bridge"
former Yodobashi mura 淀橋村 Yodobashi village

Yodobashi is said to be the oldest bridge built across Kanda aqueduct.
It is said that when the third shogun Tokugawa Iemitsu performed falcon hunting in this place, the surrounding scenery reminded him of the place called Yodo in Yamashiro (Kyoto) and so ordered that the place be called Yodobashi.
There was a water wheel (Mizuguruma) nearby for hulling the rice and wheat from neighboring farming villages.

- quote -
in the Edo Period this area of the Ōmekaidō west of the Kanda river was part of
Yodobashi Mura 淀橋村 (Yodobashi Village).
Supposedly, the 3rd Tokugawa shōgun, Iemitsu named this area.
The bridge used to be called Sugata-mizu no Hashi 姿見ずの橋 (Invisible Figures Bridge).
The reason was that in this area there was a legend that a certain Suzuki Kūrō (1371-1440) – the so-called “Tycoon of Nakano” – who hid his vast fortunes underground here. While burying his treasure, he became paranoid that the people helping him dig and carry the money might try to come back to steal his money. So, he killed the dudes who helped him bury it and threw their corpses into the river. People in the town saw a group of figures (姿) go over the bridge, but only one figure (姿) came back. So they named it the “Invisible Figures Bridge".
The Tokugawa shōguns used to make a long journey from Edo Castle to Mitaka for falconry. One time, Iemitsu and his entourage rested their horses by the bridge and heard the local story about the bridge’s inauspicious name. He thought it was an unlucky name for the bridge. The view of the river crossing reminded him of the Yodogawa 淀川 (Yodo River) in Kyōto and so he commanded the people to name the bridge Yodobashi 淀橋 (Yodo Bridge).
Of course, it was a great honor for the people to have the shōgun rename their bridge, so they started to call their town Yodobashi. The famous electronics store, Yodobashi Camera began in the area that is now Shinjuku Nishiguchi. The name of the store and area comes from this bridge.
Actually this area made up a ward called 淀橋区 Yodobashi-ku, but was merged with 四谷区 Yotsuya-ku in the 1947 restructuring into the 23 Special Wards. The merged area became present day 新宿区 Shinjuku-ku.

Tokyo Daibutsu 東京大仏 Great Buddha of Tokyo
Joorenji 乗蓮寺 Jorenji, Joren-Ji
板橋区赤塚5－28 / 5 Chome-28 Akatsuka, Itabashi ward

- quote -
... this temple was only available to Japan’s ruling family - the Tokugawa Shogunate - before their 268 years of dynastic rule ended with the Meiji Restoration.
These days the temple is known for its more recent addition - the Tokyo Daibutsu.
Upon completion in 1980, it was the third largest sitting Buddha in Japan (at 13m it’s only a mere meter shorter than it' more famous Kamakura cousin).
Twenty two tons of once shiny golden metal has oxidized into a jet-black patina that exudes a powerful serenity. The bronze statue sits meditating in a grand hilltop compound that also houses a huge wooden temple, a Chinese pagoda, a pond of hungry pouting carp, a traditional family dwelling, a scattering of statues, and a graveyard.
There is an impressive example of a traditional temple bell used to ring in the New Year, with a Buddhist countdown of 108 strikes that serve to cleanse the 108 delusions of mankind.
Nearby stand a set of stone Shichifukujin, or seven gods of good fortune. Ebisu, Daikokuten, Bishamonten, Benzaiten (or Benten), Fukurokuju, Jurojin, and Hotei are the deities of prosperity in business, the kitchen, battle, arts and sciences, long life, wisdom, and overall happiness.
... the small temple shop provides a tiny guardian deity to petition the larger Jizo, already crowded with hundreds of statues representing wishes requested.
A gaman no oni - literally a patient demon - will shoulder your worries for the price of a prayer.
- snip snip -
The imposing presence of the Daibutsu dwarfs the temple’s historical significance.
Commissioned in 1977 by the then 88-year-old chief monk, the figure took three years to complete. Built to comfort the souls of those who lost their lives in the 1923 earthquake and WWII, he hoped it might also assuage his own haunting memories of the death and destruction of both calamities. Perhaps this also extends to all those who died in the fierce battles that once raged over the old Akatsuka castle, the site the temple now occupies. Ironically, while it has become a cherished local landmark, succession of custodianship is a problem.
The current caretaker would dearly love a young devotee of Jodoshu Buddhism to take over the temple and grounds, but it isn’t a lifestyle that appeals to many young people these days.

Light Verse from the Floating World:
An Anthology of Premodern Japanese Senryu
Makoto Ueda

- source and further reading : books.google.co.jp

- quote
Similar in form to the well-known, more serious haiku, the satirical -- and often humorous -- poems known as senryu have received little scholarly attention because most were written by anonymous amateur poets and were therefore considered popular literature unworthy of serious study. Senryu are interesting, however, precisely because they reflect the thoughts and feelings of ordinary townspeople in a way that other more orthodox types of Japanese literature do not. In his introduction on the nature and historical background of the form, Makoto Ueda explores the elements of humor and satire contained in senryu, highlighting the mores that lie behind the laughter the poems evince.

Collecting 400 eighteenth- and nineteenth-century poems -- with the romanized Japanese verse presented at the bottom of each page -- Light Verse from the Floating World is divided into thematic sections, each preceded by a short introduction:

• satirical senryu, aimed at people of the ruling warrior class and civilians of various professions;
• senryu on human relationships -- between young lovers, husband and wife, parent and child, or family members of different generations;
• poems on townspeople enjoying themselves in the "amusement" district;
• ridicule of well-known historical figures;
• and poems on the poets' general outlook on life.

Replete with keen observations on the human world rather than the natural one, this first comprehensive anthology in English translation of this major genre of Japanese literature will appeal to scholars and students of Japanese culture, as well as general readers of poetry.

The Nature and Value of Pre-modern Senryu
from the Introduction to Light Verse from the Floating World
(Excerpt from pgs. 18 - 21 for Study Purposes by Elaine Andre)

It would be difficult to claim that senryu written in pre-modern Japan is great poetry, no matter how we may propose to measure the greatness of a poem. For Edo townsmen of the eighteenth century, senryu was more entertainment than poetry. Yanagidaru had a good sale each year because the verses it contained amused a vast number of people, including those who had no special interest in literature. Those who wished to write more serious poetry could –– and did––utilize other types of verse, such as haikai and waka. Yosa Buson (1716-1784), the greatest haikai poet of he eighteenth century, proclaimed a poetic principle known as rizoku or “detachment from the mundane,” precisely because senryu and much of haikai in his time seemed too mundane for his poetic taste. Kobayashi Issa (1763-1827), who had a more worldly mind than Buson and who may have written some senryu in his youth, went on to focus his creative energy on haikai and ended up becoming a major poet in that genre. As mentioned before, the waka poet Tayasu Munetake wrote senryu, yet he did so merely to amuse himself. At least three reasons can be thought of to explain why senryu was less appealing than other verse forms to the most gifted poets of the time.

First, whereas hokku, which had the same 5-7-5 syllable pattern as senryu, could create poetic tension by the technique of internal comparison, senryu, lacking such an established device, could not easily do so and too often allowed itself to be flat and prosaic. Also, it was too short to make itself as lyrically moving as waka or as tonally multifarious as linked verse.

Second, whole a haikai poet could create semantic complexity through the use of kigo (season word), a senryu writer had no such culturally loaded vocabulary at his disposal and had to devise his own method if he wanted to write a verse that would expand in meaning. He could use a word referring to the season (and there are many instances of such use, as seen In the eighth section of the anthology), but because senryu had no tradition of seasonal poetry to feed on, the word would not carry the kind of rich cultural connotations that a kigo would.

Third, senryu’s thematic focus on social life led its writers to observe people primarily in the context of the contemporary society, not in terms of a more transcendental principle. It did treat foibles of human nature, but only when those foibles manifested themselves in everyday social behavior. To over-generalize a little, very likely a poet moved by the beauty of nature would write a hokku. A poet wishing to vent out a personal emotion like love or grief would compose a waka. Someone with a novelist’s eye but without his ability (or patience) to construct a lengthy plot jotted down senryu.

The raison d’etré of senryu, then, lies in its value as popular literature, literature for mass production and consumption. If it is poetry, it is the kind of poetry specifically intended to entertain the millions. It belongs to the type of “light verse” as defined by W.H. Auden: poetry that has “for its subject matter the everyday social life of its period or the experiences of the poet as an ordinary human being.” [Auden: “Introduction.” In The Oxford Book of Light Verse (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1938, ix.)] Such poetry has to be “light” or humorous; otherwise the general public would show no interest in it.

No one in pre-modern Japan tried to give a scholarly definition of senryu, but as essayist named Ogawa Akimichi (1737-1815) once made a comment touching on its basic nature. In his opinion, senryu is “playful verse that comments on human behaviors, virtues and vices, noble and base emotions, thoughts of upper- and lower-class people, and all the other matters that make up this life on earth.” [Ogawa Akimichi, Chriizuhabanashi. In Iwamoto Sashichi, ed., Enseki jisshu (Tokyo: Kikusho Kandokai, 1907-1908) 1:274.] The key word here is “playful verse” (zareku). Senryu was comic verse, a type of verse that gained popularity through its humorous quality, through its ability to make the reader laugh. Edo townsmen amused themselves by reading and writing senryu, not caring whether it qualified as poetry.

In making their verse humorous and entertaining, senryu writers in pre-modern Japan often depended on the mechanisms of laughter widely observable in Western culture and variously theorized by Western philosophers. Indeed, if the humor of senryu somehow comes through in English translation, it is because senryu writers frequently used the instruments of laughter commonly employed in the Western world. Unfortunately, the subject matter to which those instruments were applied is closely related to the mores of the contemporary society, making the humor of senryu difficult to understand for those who know little about social customs of pre-modern Japan. The oldest known mechanism of laughter in the West is built around a feeling of superiority. Briefly stated, philosophers like Plato, Aristotle, and Hobbes thought that we laugh from our feeling of mingled superiority and triumph, the kind of feeling that comes to us when we discover incompetence, clumsiness, misfortune, or misjudgment in others. As is well known, Aristotle defined comic heroes as the “person worse than the average” because they make us feel superior by comparison. Knowing nothing about Aristotle’s theory, Karai Senryu seemed to think along the same line when he specified the kind of people he thought were most suitable for subjects of senryu. Appearing in the sequence of verses published at the end of Yanagidaru 2, these subjects include illiterates, loafers, parasites, fanatics, invalids, blind men, low-ranking samurai, destitute samurai, concubines, men with idiosyncrasies, and so forth.

Of the people listed about, senryu writers seem to have been especially fond of ridiculing people of the ruling class. Perhaps because townsmen were always looked down upon by samurai in their daily life, they made them a source of their laughter. Financially better off, they would jeer at the low-ranking samurai’s poverty:

魂をせっぱつまって質に置き
tamashii wo / seppa zumatte / shichi ni oki

a last resort:
the samurai puts his soul
in pawn

. . . [Ueda goes on to describe the reasoning behind the verse, explaining Bushido, the Way of the Warrior, by which a samurai is taught that his sword should be treasured as if it were his very soul.]

Three Songs on Yodo River

春水浮梅花　南流菟合澱
錦纜君勿解　急瀬舟如電

The spring water floats down plum blossoms
toward the south to join Yodo River
Do not loose the gilt-threaded mooring lines
On the rapids a boat runs like a lightning

菟水合澱水　交流如一身
船中願同寝　長為浪花人

Once Uji River joins Yodo River
their mixing flows are like one body
On the boat hopefully we will sleep together
and be living in Naniwa forever

君は水上の梅のごとし花水に
浮て去こと急カ也
妾は江頭の柳のごとし影水に
沈てしたがふことあたはず

You are like a plum blossom dropped
on the water that floats away so quickly
I am like a willow tree whose shadow
is sunk too deep in the water to follow

“Shumpu Batei Kyoku” is a kind of collage in which Chinese-style verses, freer Japanese lines based on Chinese styles, and hokku-like 575 lines.
In “Denga-ka,” he tries a similar style but in a smaller scale. The first two stanzas are written in a major Chinese style, Gogon-zekku (五言絶句), which has four phrases, each of which has five letters. The last stanza flows more freely, yet still based on Chinese writing styles.

What is appealing about the poem, however, lies more in content than in form, or in the intersection between content and form. The narrator is a female who sings of her affair with a man. The described geography shows that the relationship is between a merchant from Naniwa. a city of commerce, and a yujo (遊女; performer-prostitute) in Fushimi, a town in the south of Kyoto City. The poem superimposes them with the two rivers, Yodo (澱水) and Uji (菟水) (On today’s map Uji and Katsura Rivers join around Yahata to be Yodo River; See Google Map!). The image of the joining rivers of course has sexual connotations, which are strengthened by “the gilt-threaded mooring lines” in the second line, which connotes an obi (a broad sash tied over a kimono) the yujo is wearing.

Mourning for Hokujuu Roosen 北寿老仙 Hokuju Rosen
- 晋我追悼曲 - at the death of the haikai poet Hayami Shinga 早見晋我 (1671 - 1754)

北寿老仙 is the name Buson used to think about him.

君あしたに去（い）ぬゆふべのこころ千々に
何ぞはるかなる
君をおもふて岡のべに行（ゆき）つ遊ぶ
をかのべ何ぞかくかなしき
蒲公（たんぽぽ）の黄に薺のしろう咲きたる
見る人ぞなき
雉子（きぎす）のあるかひたなきに鳴（なく）を聞（きけ）ば
友ありき河をへだてて住（すみ）にき
へげのけぶりのはと打（うち）ちれば西吹（ふく）風の
はげしくて小竹原（をざさはら）真すげはら
のがるべきかたぞなき
友ありき河をへだてて住にきけふは

君あしたに去ぬゆふべのこころ千々に
何ぞはるかなる
我庵のあみだ仏ともし火もものせず
はなもまいらせずすごすごと彳（たたず）める今宵は
ことにたうとき

quote
Mourning for Hokujurosen

you left in the morning, in the evening my heart is in a thousand pieces
how far away!

thinking of you, I wander the hillside
the hillside—how sad it is!

dandelions blooming yellow, shepherd’s purse white
no one to see this
is that a pheasant crying over and over:
"I had a friend who lived across the river
mysterious smoke suddenly scatters, the wind blowing from the west
furiously, in a field of bamboo grass and reeds
no place to hide
I had a friend who lived across the river, but today
no melodies are sung"
you left in the morning, in the evening my heart is in a thousand pieces
how far away!

in my hut, I light no candles for the Amida image
I offer no flowers, lingering this evening with a heavy heart
you are venerable

蕭条（せうでう）として石に日の入（いる）枯野かな
待人の足音遠き落葉哉
西吹ケば東にたまる落葉かな
鰒汁の宿赤々と燈しけり
ふく汁の我活キて居る寝覚哉
凩に鰓（あぎと）吹るるや鈎の魚
こがらしやひたとつまづく戻り馬
こがらしや畠の小石目に見ゆる
こがらしや何に世わたる家五軒
凩やこの頃までは荻（をぎ）の風
木枯や鐘に小石を吹あてる
こがらしや岩に裂（さけ）行水の声
麦蒔や百まで生る（かほ）ばかり
雪の暮鴫（しぎ）はもどつて居るような
うづみ火や我（わが）かくれ家も雪の中
鍋さげて淀の小橋を雪の人
宿かさぬ火影や雪の家つづき
霜百里舟中に我月を領す
みどり子の頭巾眉深（まぶか）きいとをしみ
めし粒で紙子の破れふたぎけり
書記典主（でんす）故園に遊ぶ冬至哉
水仙や寒き都のここかしこ
水仙や美人かうべをいたむらし
冬されや小鳥のあさる韮畠
葱（ねぶか）買（かう）て枯木の中を帰りけり
易水にねぶか流るる寒さかな
皿を踏（ふむ）鼠の音のさむさ哉
静なるかしの木はらや冬の月
冬こだち月に隣をわすれたり
二村に質屋一軒冬こだち
このむらの人は猿也冬木だち
鴛（をしどり）に美を尽してや冬木立
斧入て香におどろくや冬こだち
御火焚（おほたき）や霜うつくしき京の町
宿かせと刀投出す吹雪哉
愚に耐（たへ）よと窓を暗（くらう）す雪の竹
氷る燈の油うかがふ鼠かな
歯あらはに筆の氷を噛ム夜哉
我を厭ふ隣家寒夜に鍋を鳴ラす
一しきり矢種の尽るあられ哉
古池に草履沈ミてみぞれ哉
寒月や門なき寺の天高し - kangetsu ya
寒月や枯木の中の竹三竿（さんかん）
寒月や衆徒の群議の過て後
細道になり行声や寒念仏 - hosomichi ni
極楽にちか道いくつ寒念仏　- gokuraku ni chikamichi ikutsu kan nenbutsu　　　
薬喰隣の亭主箸持参
妻や子の寝も見えつ薬喰
客僧の狸寝入やくすり喰
うぐひすの啼や師走の羅生門
御経に似てゆかしさよ古暦
ゆく年の瀬田を廻るや金飛脚
とし守（もる）や乾鮭の太刀鱈の棒
芭蕉去（さり）てそののちいまだ年くれず

手取にやせんとのり出すくじら舟
売喰の調度のこりて冬ごもり
生海鼠（なまこ）にも鍼（はり）こころむる書生哉
こがらしや覗いて逃（にぐ）る淵の色
寒月や門をたたけば沓（くつ）の音　
落葉して遠く成けり臼の音 - ochiba shite
鷺ぬれて鶴に日の照る時雨哉
冬ごもり妻にも子にもかくれん坊
みのむしのぶらと世にふる時雨哉 - minomushi no

いざや寐ん元日は又翌の事 iza ya

こがらしや野河の石を踏わたる
ふく汁やおのれ等が夜は朧なる
逢（あは）ぬ恋おもひ切ル夜やふくと汁
住吉の雪にぬかづく遊女かな
冬されや韮にかくるる鳥ひとつ
我骨のふとんにさはる霜夜かな
