小名木川五本松跡

Communicating the atmosphere of the Edo period

It is close to Onahiki River Bridge, but it passes by without realizing it.

There was Gohonmatsu!

The monument was erected and it was as below. In the Edo era, there is an old pine tree on the banks of the Onagi River in the vicinity of the Edo era, and it became famous as a five-piece pine tree of the Onagi River and became a place name. The scenery was drawn at the Edo Famous Place and was covered in Nishiki-e, but it died during the Meiji era.

Look! Isn't the pine planted properly here? "Rather than complaining that it has withered, let's plant pine trees." In this river, Ieyasu Tokugawa was transferred to the Kanto region, and after establishing a castle in Edo, the castle was steadily improved to solidify the foundation for Kanto rule, and salt was secured as a source of troops. Therefore, it is a canal developed to connect Shimosa Yukinori (where Shioda was) and the Sumida River in a straight line. It is a straight river extending from east to west, and further developed a canal Shinkawa to Gyotoku, and succeeded in avoiding the conventional marine accident in the bay of Edo. This is called Onagigawa after Shirobei Onagi, who was involved in the development. Since then, it has prospered as a flow path for Edomae products and a way to visit Naritasan Shinshoji Temple. At the end of the Tokugawa shogunate, the new government troops will start dispatching troops to the Satsuma domain in order to pursue the former Shogunate army soldiers who escaped to the Boso Peninsula during the war of the Boshin War.

Although it is a poor information at the level of the wind, there is a document that describes how the new government army raises the Nishiki flag on the Takasebune and marches in the direction of Boso. However, I feel that it is difficult to dismiss such a prominent appearance as a rumor. The 15-story Takase boat, which sails calmly with the Nishiki flag, and the Onagi River, which is a legacy of the Tokugawa family that still remains, have become a guideline for pursuing the power of the former Shogunate. Is that the irony of history?
