Scenery of Momijizaka

"Yesterday is today's old days, today is tomorrow's old days" It is a passage from the old song of the Muromachi period (Kanginshu), but the date is quite early.

Regardless of New Year's Day, yesterday's continuation, there should be no change, but that's Japanese. For the beginning of the year, the heart of the new year is set up and a diary.

By the way, there was a Kanagawa magistrate's office near the youth center in Momijizaka. It was established in Ansei 6 (1859), so it was roughly 140 years ago. The times have changed and the view has changed, but when you stand on this hill on the New Year's Day, you will hear the voices of `` Gokei '' exchanged by officials who have corrected the majesty on the kimono and the bursting laughter of the daughters of the dressed town. I feel like I can hear the beginning of the year.
