it was just an explanation board.

Original Text

Here is an explanation board next to the entrance of the Tsukiji Branch of Mitsubishi UFJ Bank on Heisei-dori in Tsukiji. The fourth generation of the Katsuragawa family, Hoshu, studied Rangaku at Genpaku Sugita and Ryosawa Maeno, and at a young age, he also participated in the translation of the dismantling new book.

Commentary board １ sheets stand

Original Text

I was an unknown Dutch scholar, but when I heard that I was involved in "Danjinshinsho", I was interested. Even so, having one commentary board is too miscellaneous. No, it may be okay to have it.

Only famous people have a record.

An information board stands next to the entrance of the Tsukiji Branch of the Mitsubishi UFJ Bank. The reason why he was involved in the dismantling new book and most of all appeared in novels is probably because he was a representative of that era. However, there is only a guide board in the place where there is nothing else.

Lan Scholar の House Pasture

Original Text

Daisho 々 It is the site of the residence of Hoshu, the fourth generation of the Katsuragawa family, a Ranka doctor who served the Edo Shogunate. I think it's amazing that Hoshu himself is not a very famous person, but there is only a signboard.

New Dissolution Book

Original Text

The site of Hoshu Katsuragawa's residence was right in front of the Tsukiji Branch of Mitsubishi UFJ Bank, just off Tsukiji Station on the Hibiya Line. He was a doctor and Dutch scholar who was active in the mid Edo period and also participated in the translation of the new dismantling book. I didn't know the name of a person named Hoshu Katsuragawa, so it was a good study.
