Yotsugi district Katsushika

[ . BACK to DARUMA　MUSEUM　TOP . ]

Yotsugi 四つ木 Yotsugi district (Four Trees)
四つ木一丁目 - 四つ木五丁目 from First to Fifth district

- quote -
History of Yotsugi
The earliest mention of Yotsugi is an inscription on a statue of 聖徳太子 Shōtoku Taishi at 西光寺 Saikō-ji.
The statue has the presumably authentic date of 1341 written on it. This is roughly 140 years after Minamoto no Yoritomo’s death so let’s put some things into perspective, namely why is Yoritomo even relevant to the story? He may or may not be, but when he became the first shōgun of the 3 great shōgunates, his government put Kantō on the map – politically and economically speaking. Edo was just a fishing village at the time, but the proximity to the shōgunal capital of Kamakura was a massive boon to tiny villages in the area. By 1341, power had transferred back to Kyōto in western Japan with the establishment of the 室町幕府 Muromachi Bakufu Ashikaga Shōgunate. 140 years had passed and the prestige of Kantō was diminished.
The earliest surviving textual mention of Yotsugi comes to us from 1398 (Muromachi Period) in a document called 下総国葛西御厨注文 Shimōsa no Kuni Kasai Mikuri Chūmon Shimōsa Province’s Kasai Mikuri Annotation. It references a place called 四ﾂ木新田村 Yotsugi-Shinden Mura Yotsugi-Shinden Village.
In the Edo period, this area was primarily agricultural – fields and trees as far as the eye could see.
It fell under the administration of Edo Katsushika-gun 江戸葛飾郡 Katsushika District, Edo area. Yotsugi was technically under the direct control of the Tokugawa Shōgunate ...
It lay along the 本所上水 Honjo Jōsui Honjo Clean Water Aqueduct, which was later known as the 葛西用水 Kasai Yōsui Kasai Aqueduct or more popularly as the Hikifune-gawa 曳舟川 Hikifune River. The site where the Hikifune River and Ayase-gawa intersected offered a scenic riverside view that Edoites cherished. This spot was where the Hikifune Towpath began.
Because of its proximity to the shōgun’s capital and its scenic beauty, it was a popular destination for Edoites who wanted to get out of the city for a day or two. The most popular destinations were the religious institutions of 西光寺 Saikō-ji, 客人大権現 Maroudo Daigongen (modern 渋江白髭神社 Shibue Shirahige Jinja Shibue Shriahige Shrine), 木下川薬師 Kinoshita-gawa Yakushi (modern 浄光寺 Senkō-ji), and 柴又帝釈天 Shibamata Taishakuten. With the exception of Shibamata Taishakuten, these temples (and one shrine) are pretty minor, but in the Edo Period they were quite important.
During the Meiji Period, the area remained rural and agricultural – it was more or less unchanged from the Edo Period. However, in 1912 (Taishō 1), 四ﾂ木駅 Yotsugi Eki Yotsugi Station was built. This made the area accessible and factories that wanted to take advantage of the space, cheap land, and access to rivers for distribution and “waste disposal” were set up in the area. It’s around this time that the area became famous for the production of celluloid.

In 1922, a wooden bridge called Yotsugibashi 四ﾂ木橋 Yotsugi Bridge was built across the Arakawa River linking 墨田区 Sumida-ku Sumida Ward and 葛飾区 Katsushika-ku Katsushika Ward. In the chaos following the 1923 関東大震災 Kantō Daishinsai Great Kantō Earfquake, the 旧四ﾂ木橋 Kyū-Yotsugibashi Former Yotsugi Bridge – as it’s known today – was the site of wanton racist attacks against Chinese and Koreans living on the Sumida Ward side of the bridge. Apparently, some Tōkyōites blamed them for the earthquake or just took advantage of the chaos to indulge their own racism. At any rate, another wooden bridge was soon built and life went on as usual.
In the post-WWII years, the area rapidly urbanized. City historians cite the building of a new 四ツ木橋 Yotsugibashi Yotsugi Bridge in 1952 as making urbanization possible. Prior to the post-war era, cars were relatively rare in Tōkyō – trains and trolleys were the norm. The new bridge was a modern truss bridge made of steel that allowed automobile traffic to cross the Arakawa in this area. The area’s agricultural heritage began to fade quickly.
In 1964, the name was changed from 四ﾂ木 Yotsugi to 四つ木 Yotsugi
the only change was orthographic: katakana ﾂ tsu became hiragana つ tsu.
In 1989, during the Bubble Economy, the 曳舟川 Hikifune-gawa Hikifune River was filled in due to pollution and presumably to use it as a sewer. The remaining marshes that surrounded the river also became landfill. By 2000, the only left over bit of this once scenic Edo Period day trip spot was present-day Hikifune-gawa Shinsui Kōen 曳舟川親水公園 the Hikifune River Hydrophilic Park.

Barges on the Yotsugi Dōri Canal 四ツ木通用水引ふね

A "hikifune (tugboat)"
is not propelled by a boatman using oars or a rod, but is moved by pulling a rope strung between the banks of the river, and usually carries passengers. What is pictured here is the Honjo irrigation canal, but since the river is narrow and the water is shallow, the only boat that could be used is the tugboat.

Maejima Hisoka 前島密
(1835 – 1919)

- quote
born Ueno Fusagorō (上野 房五郎), was a Japanese statesman, politician, and businessman in Meiji-period Japan.
Maejima founded the Japanese postal service, and is known as
Yubin Seido no Chichi (郵便制度の父), or "Father of the Postal System".

- - - Early life
Maejima was born as Ueno Fusagorō, in the village of Shimoikebe, Echigo Province (present-day the city of Jōetsu, Niigata Prefecture).
In 1866 he was adopted into the Maejima family. He was sent to Edo to study rangaku, medical science and English.
In the Bakumatsu period he was considered a radical reformer and proponent of westernization. In 1866, he submitted an unsolicited proposal to shōgun Tokugawa Yoshinobu that Japan abolish the use of kanji (Chinese characters) in its writing system.
In 1868, shortly after the Meiji Restoration, he also proposed to Ōkubo Toshimichi that the capital of Japan be moved from Kyoto to Edo.

Ichinoe Station (一之江駅 Ichinoe-eki) is a railway station in Edogawa.

Ichinoe Nanushi Yashiki 一之江 名主屋敷
This was 田島家の屋敷 the residence of the Tajima family, the first nanushi - headman of the area.
Tajima Zusho 田島図書　（たじまずしょ）, His former name was 堀田 Hotta.
It was first built in 1576.
1616 - the temple 城立寺 Joryu-Ji was built.
1774 - the main building and the 長屋門 Nagayamon Gate were built.
2016 - It was established as 歴史公園 a History Park of Edo.

The estate had a very large Nagayamon Gate.
The Yashiki Inner Garden was used to grow vegetables.

- quote
There is a real sense of the countryside with this property. Surrounded by lush vegetation that is an absolute delight during the spring and autumn seasons - summer too if I had my way - the farmhouse represents the affluence of a well-to-do farming family in old Japan. You are looking at a building and atmosphere that is literally straight out of the days of old.
The farmhouse has all of the features one would come to expect from a traditional Edo period home.
The irori indoor hearth is a personal favourite of mine, its design adding to the home-like feeling that only a live flame can provide. You'll also notice the traditional Japanese garden design with ponds, stone lanterns and koi fish. There is a clear sense of wealth here. Not ostentatious wealth but rather wealth with a sense of having being earned through solid hard work.
The woods surrounding the property contain trees that have been listed as worthy of protection by Edogawa City and include zelkova, gingko and hackberry.

Visitors will also find a moat and a nagayamon gate that once housed lower ranked samurai. In the feudal and hierarchical social system of the times, the latter two further confirm that House Tajima enjoyed an excellent social status.
Ichinoe Nanushi Yashiki really does offer a legitimate feeling of Tokyo's old Edo history and is, quite simply, a lovely place to visit.

Hon-chō Apothecary - Hon-chō Yakushu-dana

Hon-chō was the first settlement of what was to become the city of Edo.
When Tokugawa Ieyasu (subsequent founder of the shogunate) came to the Edo region in September 1590,
he started by developing a commercial and residential district.
This area of the city came to be known as "Hon-chō" (literally "the original district")
because it was both located directly east of Edo Castle's Ōtemon (the great gate),
and next to Nihonbashi (the starting point of the five major overland routes to the provinces).
Furthermore, the architecture of the area was typified by streets
lined with numerous earthen-walled warehouses.

Nakano-no-Tō Tower　中野塔（なかののとう） Nakano no To

The tower of Nakano was a three-storied pagoda which was said to have been donated by Iizuka Sōbei
during the Kan'ei era (1624 -1643) and was one of Edo's famous places
along with the five-storied pagoda located in Kan'ei-ji Temple, Ueno.
It was located on the grounds of Hōsen-ji Temple, Chūō, Nakano Ward,
but burned down during the air raids of 1945 (the twentieth year of Shōwa).
