駒留橋跡

It is an explanatory board of a small stone bridge straddling the entrance moat on the north side of the former Binji Bridge.

An explanation board was built and it was written as below. The Komadome Bridge is a small stone bridge with a length of two and a half (about 4.5 meters) and a width of two ken (about 5.4 meters) that spans the moat on the north side of the former Ryogoku Bridge. , It connected Fujishiro Town and Higashi Ryogoku Hirokoji. The widest part of the moat was four ken (about 7.2 meters), and it became narrower toward the back. One of the seven wonders of the main temple, the reeds of one leaf, was growing, so it was also called Kataba moat, and although it was near the red-light district, it was a lonely place at night. Even during the busiest times of the downtown areas of both countries, the area around this bridge was quiet. It has been reported. Perhaps because of that, at night, night hawks gathered in front of their own police box (private police box in the town block) in Hashizume, and it seems that they were pulling the sleeves of passers-by. There were two other explanation boards. The reeds that grow in the moat over which the Komadome Bridge is built were called single-leaf reeds because they only produced leaves in the same direction. It is thought that the way the wind blows in the intricate terrain had an effect, but at that time it was considered to be one of the seven wonders of the headquarters. The origin is ... A long time ago, a man named Ryuzo, who lived in Yokoami-cho, fell in love with a daughter named Koma in Mikasa-cho. To keep the piece, he approaches it with his own hands, but the piece does not flutter at all. The angry storehouse killed the piece, cut off one hand and one foot, and threw it into the moat. Since then, all the reeds that grow here have become single leaves. At that time, there were so many ashi that became the etymology of Yoshiwara. It is the name of a town that used to be around here. The origin is ... During the Kyoho era (1716-35), Tozaemon Mouri, who was born in Kii and lived in Kojimachi, reclaimed 25,000 tsubo of Irihori in Sarue Village, Nishikasai, which is his territory, at his own expense. , Was called "Mori Nitta". However, this was eaten as a storage place for the shogunate, and instead it was given this land. It is called Fujishiro-cho because it was given by Fujizaemon instead. Since it was a key point leading to Ekoin and Mukaishima, it was a very lively place with many merchant houses, and it was a downtown area suitable for the entrance of the main shrine.
