Fukagawa and around Tokorozawa

I took a walk for the Fukagawa area, starting from the subway station Monzennakacho, to search for interesting places.

Arrival at the monument to the 47 ronin.

After Kira to avenge their Lord Asano, the ronin are passed by a shop in miso, Chikumaya. The owner of the shop was the friend of Ootaka Gengo, a member of ronin, so Chikumaya offered a amazake (sweet sake, made from fermented cooked rice) to ronin.
The store, which is still in business, every year offers all the amazake the day of vengeance, December 14.

The monument behind the shop is now called
Chikuma-miso

Reiganji Way to the temple.

Entry

Here is the tomb of Matsudaira Sadanobu (1759-1829), the politician who has made the reform called "Kansei no kaikaku," or "reform Kansei period "from 1787 to 1793. It was also the daimyo of Shirakawa village, the modern town of Shirakawa in Fukushima.
Since his tomb is here, this neighborhood is called Shirakawa.

The tomb of Matsudaira Sadanobu

A statue of Jizo of 2.5 meters

Other Jizo

I photographed the monument. It looks like a tomb of a woman, because you see a girl's name right, not the name when she was alive, but the name given after his death (a practice common with Buddhism).

On the left you see the data vertically. He understands the day, December 24. But the character of the year is ruined. You see 子, or part of another ideogram. The first few years of the period named with the character of 保. Why 元 we noted the first year. While 丙申 and indicate the year hino-saru. The combinations are sixty. Sixty are combinations of the twelve Chinese zodiac of twelve animals and ten members, always with the concept of Chinese culture.

Last hino-saru was 1956. The Showa era. The penultimate was 1896, in the Meiji era. Following 1836, 1776, 1716, 1656, 1596 etc..
While looking for was that the character 保, the only possibility is 享保 (kyoohoo) beginning from 1716. Why is the year 1716, Hino-saru.

I found the year. E 'in 1716. The character is ruined 享. You see only the lower part of the ideogram 子.
Well, the day was recorded December 24, 1716, probably the day of death of this person.

Graves collected.
now are too old, so they are anonymous
