The Taito-ku Shitamachi Museum
Alan Gleason
One of central Tokyo's 23 wards, Taito-ku contains some of the most historic sites and popular tourist destinations in the entire metropolis -- the museums and zoo in Ueno Park, the Asakusa entertainment district, Sensoji temple with its big red lantern. The area's reputation as an adult amusement mecca extends several centuries back into the Edo period, when it also contained the bustling Yoshiwara red-light district, backdrop to many a Kabuki play and ukiyo-e print.
Over the past century, Taito-ku has gone through some wrenching changes -- leveled by fire twice, after the Kanto Earthquake of 1923 and in the fire-bombings of 1945, then subject to rapid, often indiscriminate postwar development like the rest of the city. Yet the district has managed to hang on to some of the old flavor of the shitamachi once inhabited by plebeian Edoites. It has also displayed sufficient civic pride to build its own museum, with funding and exhibit materials donated by local residents, in homage to the shitamachi culture. ...

文化7年のこと、浅草安部河町にある高田派一向宗の寺の本堂屋根に、鸛が巣をつくっていた。これまでは近くの松平西福寺に巣を作っていたのだが、こちらに移ってきたという。その年12月11日に火事が発生して西福寺は全焼したという。『博聞類纂』という書物には、鸛が巣を移すと古巣は火事になると書かれてあり、これと同じ事が起きたことになる。
