Abstract

The sea, natural rivers, minor rivulets, canals, ditches, moats, ponds and waterside were the very important places for Edo culture. Edo and Tokyo, by dint of these waters, had become an extremely protean city. The Yoshiwara pleasure district served as a kind of cultural salon. It was frequented by the literati and painters of ukiyoe, who featured the district and its prostitutes in their works, which were printed and sold in large quantities by the printing houses, so that the pleasure districts prospered in a kind of interdependency with the publishing world. Yoshiwara had been built at the edge of the sea and even after moving inland it was a place many people would access by riverboats. Journeying along the river was to pass from the real world and enter into another. This different world that one access by a river journey from the real world also holds true for the theater districts. On the other hand, Asakusa was a location often used for important scenes. With its long history, this area is deeply connected with the formation of Edo on the banks of the Sumida River. The Sumida River has been used with particular variety in the culture and stories of Edo. The Ryogoku Bridge, especially, featured in many texts written in the Edo period. In this paper, I want readers to see the variety of images of Edo with water.

江户的水边文化
海洋、天然河流、小溪流、运河、沟渠、护城河、池塘和水边都是江户文化的重要场所。江户和东京,由于这些水域的影响,已经成为一个变化多端的城市。吉原游乐区是一种文化沙龙。浮世绘的文人和画家经常光顾这里,他们在作品中描绘了这个地区和那里的妓女,这些作品被印刷厂大量印刷和出售,因此,享乐区在与出版界的一种相互依存中繁荣起来。吉原建在海边,即使搬到内陆,很多人还是会乘船前往。沿河旅行就是从现实世界进入另一个世界。这个不同的世界,人们从现实世界的河流之旅中进入,也适用于剧院区。另一方面,浅草是一个经常用于重要场景的地点。由于其悠久的历史,该地区与隅田河岸边江户的形成密切相关。在江户的文化和故事中,隅田河的用途尤为多样。特别是琉球桥,在江户时代的许多文献中都有记载。在这篇文章中,我想让读者看到江户与水的各种形象。
