たばこの気持ち

先日のNHK再放送「ブラタモリ」は長岡でした。とても面白くて、私には、たくさんの学びがありました

長岡には、現役時代に一度だけ出張で行ったことがあります

自分にとって、長岡といえば何と申しましても田中角栄さんと、山本五十六さんのイメージがありました

（東洋大学の井上円了学祖の生誕の地でもあります）

今回のブラタモリを見ながら、大仏次郎著「天皇の世紀」（河井継之助）も思い出しました

というわけで、以下、私のメモを投稿します

----------

長岡駅は長岡城跡に造られている。そんなお城は稀なこと

長岡は舟運の町

信濃川は日本で一番長い川（367km）

連続した丘陵

数種類の石ころ

木材、味噌

長岡市のシンボルマークは不死鳥

花火の町

幕末の大火、戊辰戦争で焼け野原。それを乗り越え復興

明治天皇一行の御巡幸

街や道路の整備

花火大会のスタート

神社に花街

明治物流の発展によって舟運は衰退

石油が長岡に莫大な富をもたら、一大産業となる

オイルマネーで潤う

たくさんの石油会社が花火大会のスポンサーになる

信濃川と石油の関係

水と油の深い関係

深い海、膨大なプランクトンの死骸が集積した

戦争🪖で長岡は焼け野原にされた

戦友の鎮魂

大きな地震もあった

その度に復興してきた長岡は、まさに不死鳥

The other day's NHK rebroadcast "Bura Tamori" was in Nagaoka. very interesting and i learned a lot

I have been to Nagaoka on a business trip only once during my active career.

For me, when I think of Nagaoka, I have the image of Mr. Kakuei Tanaka and Mr. Isoroku Yamamoto.

(It is also the birthplace of Enryo Inoue, the founder of Toyo University.)

While watching Bra Tamori this time, I also remembered Jiro Osaragi's "Emperor's Century" (Tsugunosuke Kawai)

So I'll post my notes below.

----------

Nagaoka Station is built on the ruins of Nagaoka Castle. Such castles are rare.

Nagaoka is a shipping town.

Shinano River is the longest river in Japan (367km).

Continuous hills.

several types of stones.

wood, miso.

The symbol of Nagaoka City is a phoenix.

Fireworks town.

The area was burnt to the ground during the Great Fire and Boshin War at the end of the Edo period. Overcome it and rebuild.

Pilgrimage of Emperor Meiji and his party.

Maintenance of towns and roads.

Start of fireworks display.

A red light district at a shrine.

Ship transport declined due to the development of Meiji logistics.

Oil brought enormous wealth to Nagaoka and became a major industry.

Get rich with oil money.

Many oil companies will sponsor the fireworks display. 

The relationship between the Shinano River and oil.

The deep relationship between water and oil

In the deep sea, a huge amount of dead plankton accumulated.

Nagaoka was burnt to the ground during the war🪖

Comrade's Requiem.

There was also a big earthquake.

Nagaoka, which has been revived each time, is truly a phoenix.
