And he wasn&#8217;t really drinking with me at the <i>izakaya<\/i> (at least not in person). In\u014d sensei was a famous Japanese surveyor and cartographer. It is not such a stretch to suggest he was an ethnographer of sorts. I met him, or got to know him, by chance. On the last day of my recent research trip to Tokyo I had to check out of the hotel at 11:00 AM. I had an hour to kill before I could go to one last fieldsite, a close-by <i>kakuuchi <\/i>(see the next post). The Tomioka Hachiman Shrine was located next to my hotel, and I found a nice shady spot nearby to sit and wait. It happened to be near the bronze statue of In\u014d. It was a cool statue and I thought I might be able to use a picture of it in a class or something. I got up and took some photos. After a while, and much sweating in the hot summer sun, I was able to go to the <i>kakuuchi<\/i> (and its air conditioner). It was only later when I returned to Osaka that I did a little research to see who this person was and what his conection to the shrine was.<\/p>\n<p>It turns out that after he retired from business at the age of 50, In\u014d lived close to the shrine in the Edo neighborhood of Fukagawa Kuroecho, which is now known as Monzen Nakacho. He was said to pray to the diety at this shrine before his first mapping trip to Hokkaido in 1800 and other subsequent trips. It became an important ritual for him, and since he was successful in 10 journeys, the shrine came to be associated with travel safety. The bonze statue of him was built in 2001 to commerate his ritual and work.<\/p>\n<p>So if he could, why wouldn&#8217;t he want to share some drinks and interesting discourse with a contemporary anthropologist?<\/p>\n<p>This is a photo of Tomioka Hachiman Shrine I took in July 2023.<\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEiOLQV2cdcCEnsEdFsVHntkZww_xsaRhES9dRuHmqiB6NBY0tKJewX4BzlqjaZXF6-O3bvQBmMMvmTDWZCGvaK1RrO5-LBpFNOJ-eXv-7ku3GynROdrVBbFV2rjPicWD9IS0shn35jdw7_H80If6DTGSRybTUV6pXAzdNbHVQSn24J7VOwSGvWh0uQnSgfb\/s400\/SCF_1252.jpg\" style=\"display: block; padding: 1em 0; text-align: center; \"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"280\" data-original-width=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEiOLQV2cdcCEnsEdFsVHntkZww_xsaRhES9dRuHmqiB6NBY0tKJewX4BzlqjaZXF6-O3bvQBmMMvmTDWZCGvaK1RrO5-LBpFNOJ-eXv-7ku3GynROdrVBbFV2rjPicWD9IS0shn35jdw7_H80If6DTGSRybTUV6pXAzdNbHVQSn24J7VOwSGvWh0uQnSgfb\/s400\/SCF_1252.jpg\" width=\"500\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Scroll down to Set III in the this link of more photos of Tomioka Hachiman Shrine at that time:<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/visualanthropologyofjapan.blogspot.com\/2023\/07\/vaoj-s2023rt-arc-theres-more-to.html\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/visualanthropologyofjapan.blogspot.com\/2023\/07\/vaoj-s2023rt-arc-theres-more-to.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is the shrine now, undergoing some refurbishment. <\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEhjC_Py10gLzrj5lyq3d4omP2TsKw3XevqLh0oahyphenhypheni1Gztdqoni0D2vVhSqULkzosI19YcaVVR7DHud2a3eWZq6rOBR0OKjzXeJwyEtlVOiXvG68YrA1wfjcwko_qwlo_TjLrIx9aeUoTWzIuSdRrKPIHM6fZhA8v81GuayySDdqcX0VhUvoaUhoKBCQkdV\/s3838\/IMG_5485.jpeg\" style=\"display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"2741\" data-original-width=\"3838\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEhjC_Py10gLzrj5lyq3d4omP2TsKw3XevqLh0oahyphenhypheni1Gztdqoni0D2vVhSqULkzosI19YcaVVR7DHud2a3eWZq6rOBR0OKjzXeJwyEtlVOiXvG68YrA1wfjcwko_qwlo_TjLrIx9aeUoTWzIuSdRrKPIHM6fZhA8v81GuayySDdqcX0VhUvoaUhoKBCQkdV\/s400\/IMG_5485.jpeg\" width=\"500\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEgzjB7HW-Q1O0ljGwT0Q_yn9hI21PuIRkEm0esDHxqCojszZsNh6wIoEGEcnVTQeFUdmPLdtGP_NRXf58tbqv37E-8phN312Lw9a2GlgSfuuWffOtTgD-AdiYY1C_3uSlOJqo3k2yIkq5io8-r51OVSWoxMeTQTxp3081J4Kr_3WojlSfDO9KC927jPaV5F\/s3963\/IMG_5515.jpeg\" style=\"display: block; padding: 1em 0px; text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"2830\" data-original-width=\"3963\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEgzjB7HW-Q1O0ljGwT0Q_yn9hI21PuIRkEm0esDHxqCojszZsNh6wIoEGEcnVTQeFUdmPLdtGP_NRXf58tbqv37E-8phN312Lw9a2GlgSfuuWffOtTgD-AdiYY1C_3uSlOJqo3k2yIkq5io8-r51OVSWoxMeTQTxp3081J4Kr_3WojlSfDO9KC927jPaV5F\/s400\/IMG_5515.jpeg\" width=\"500\"\/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>English translation:<\/p>\n<p><i><b><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Tomioka Hachiman-gu Shrine\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/i><\/p>\n<div>\n<p><i><b><span style=\"font-size: large;\">400th Anniversary of Enshrinement Commemorative Project<\/span><\/b><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><\/p>\n<p><i><b><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Donations Now Being Accepted<\/span><\/b><\/i><\/p>\n<p>Tomioka Hachiman Shrine is conducting a commemorative project leading up to the 400th anniversary of its enshrinement in Reiwa 9 (2027).

He established a residence near this shrine in Kuroe-cho, Fukagawa (currently Monzen-nakacho 1-chome).<br \/>\nApproximately 200 years ago, during the Kansei era (Kansei 12, intercalary April 19th\u2014June 11th, 1800, according to the solar calendar), he visited this shrine early in the morning to pray for safety before departing on his survey journey to Ezochi (Hokkaido).<br \/>\nMaster Tadataka went on to plan and execute a total of ten survey expeditions. Up until the eighth expedition, which mapped distant regions, he made it a strict rule to always visit Tomioka Hachiman Shrine before departing. Leading his internal disciples and attendants, he would pray for a safe journey, return to his residence to complete final preparations, and then head out toward the starting point of his survey. Consequently, this shrine is a place deeply connected to the mapping achievements of In\u014d Tadataka.<br \/>\nTo mark the 200th anniversary of the start of the In\u014d surveys, the &#8220;In\u014d Walk&#8221; mapping and surveying committee, land and house surveyors, the In\u014d Tadataka Research Society, and other related parties took the lead in raising public donations to erect this statue.<br \/>\nOctober, Heisei 13 (2001).<\/i><\/p>\n<p><i>Erected by the Executive Committee for the Construction<br \/>\n<br \/>of the In\u014d Tadataka Bronze Statue<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>So you are probably still wondering how In\u014d Tadataka got to the <i>izakaya<\/i> (and the Monzen Nakacho Train Station). I was able to use some online tools (pre-A.I.
