The ferries, Mukojima

長命寺(ちょうめいじ)の門前を言問の岡と称し､明治2年(1869)年に言問団子を売る言問亭が開業｡長命寺の桜餅と並ぶ向島名物となった｡建物の右の暖簾には｢言問団子｣と書いてあるようだ｡言問亭ではないかと思われる｡言問団子は今も向島名物である｡明治中期の撮影｡｢目録番号2664と同じ写真｣The area in front of Chomeiji Temple was called Kototoi-no-Oka. In 1869, Kototoi-tei opened and its "Kototoi dumplings" became a Mukojima specialty along with the cherry rice cakes of Chomeiji Temple. The shop curtain on the right seems to say "Kototoi dango (dumplings)," indicating that this is Kototoi-tei. Kototoi dumplings are still a local specialty at Mukojima. Taken in the mid-Meiji Period.
