Ken's Diary=9 // NHK's Year-Long Historical Drama
Dear Friends
What are you into now??
Every person has something special he or she loves to do.
So do I.
I am now really and seriously into watching NHK's Year-Long
Historical Drama, what we call 大河ドラマ, but not current or recent ones.
I love watching old ones that were broadcast when I was a kid,say,
about some 30 years ago.
Good examples of such old ones are 【風と雲と虹と】, a story about
平将門公, and 【黄金の日々】, a story about 納屋（ルソン）助佐衛門.
The former was the first 大河ドラマ that I watched.
At that time, I was just 10 year old, and so probably I could not understand
at all the contents of the story, because I did not know how a social
system or an adult world works. I was just attracted by its opening theme
song,
which is really inspiring, impressive and moving.

Now I enjoy watching the story of 平将門公 since I am able to
fully understand the detailed contents of the story.
When I was watching this drama as a kid (10-year-old),
I had not had any social experiences and so naturally I could not
understand the contents. But now everything is clear to me.
加藤剛, a famous actor, played the role of 将門公 in an impressive
and energetic manner.
The same thing goes for 【黄金の日々】, which was broadcast
when I was 12 years old. A former generation of 市川染五郎,
currently famous as 松本幸四郎 played 納屋助佐衛門.
Comparing to the former drama, I think I was able to
understand more the contents of the story when I was a kid.
Because this drama describes one of the most popular
Era of Sengoku in Japanese History which I studied about
in those days.
The opening theme music is also very charming and attractive

Thanks for the advanced technology in recent years,
we are now able to enjoy watching old dramas clearly
in the form of DVDs or Blue Rays, many of which, otherwise,
would not be available for our interests or relaxation.
By the way, speaking of 平将門公,
do you that there is a tomb dedicated to this legendary samurai
located next to Tokyo Office of 三井物産??
This tomb is called 首塚, and there is a panel next to the tomb
which explains about this tomb in Japanese.
I have already prepared a sign board with the English translation on it.
Next year, I would like to talk with the concerned parties managing
the tomb and ask them to let me put up my signboard with the English
version on it.
The English Translation is as follows：
Address: 1-1-1, Otemachi, Chiyoda, Tokyo
Designated on March 30th, 1971.
“Masakado’s Mound” (Metropolitan Historical Site)
This site is traditionally known as Masakado’s Mound.
He was the central figure in Tengyo’s Rebellion, a historically
famous rebellion by Masakado between 931 and 940.
The most part of Masakado’s Tomb collapsed in the Great Kanto
Earthquake, and so wasn’t preserved as it had been.
However, only the stone garden lantern, legendarily believed to have
belonged to the Tomb, has been preserved.
In Kagen Era (1303〜1305), a famous bishop named
Amakyo Shonin legendarily held prayers for Masakado’s soul at
his tomb and then dedicated the tomb to Kanda Shrine.
This site belonged to Kanda Shrine.
This stone monument for this site was build in May, 1906,
dedicating the legendary samurai rebel, and the epitaph
on its back telling Masakado’s Mound legend.
Established on October 1st, 1971
