A Walk On Funabori, Ichonoe and Kasai
There are amazingly beautiful seasonal views along some water parks and historic landmarks in old temples in the areas around Funabori, Ichinoe and Kasai in Tokyo. Though they are residential areas now, there were large dump areas that Socho, a renga poet in Muromachi Period, described the lands in those areas in his book 'Azumazi no Tsuto'. Myoshoji Temple and Myouonji Temple and many temples standing near the water parks have been believed by many people before Edo preiod might be built on dry lands in those dump areas. Late Sengoku Period, Ieyasu Tokugawa moved to Edo and he rebuilt Onagigawa and Shinkawa (Funaborigawa) River as canals to bring salt produced in Gyotoku to Edo. And after the completion of the great project that Tonegawa River moved to east, thousands of ships could pass these revers to carry thousands of products and people from northern parts of Japan to Nihonbashi. Moreover, after the project, many dry lands appeared in Katsushika-gun where people had had many floods every year and the dump lands became arable lands, then, they were called 'Edo no Daidokoro (the Kitchen of Edo)'. Ieyasu used these rivers to go hawking at Togane in Chiba. And Basho Matsuo and Ikku Jippensha used them to go Gyotoku as the gate town to the northern provinces. The areas around Funabori, Ichinoe and Kasai had been very prosperous from Edo period to early Showa era, therefore there are so many temples there as they are in Teramachi Gyotoku and it tells us how prosperous people there had been.
