Knowledge Spots｜Chibanosuke Guide 33Railways or Water Transportations!? Chibanosuke Guide Why did they build the railway to the Sotobō area before the Uchibō side, even though Uchibō has big towns like Kisarazu? Take a look at the map before you. Water transportation is active in Tokyo Bay, y’see. The Godairikisen ships were actively used well into the early Shōwa period. People say the peninsula shape makes Chiba inconvenient, but looking at history, it actually seems like a big advantage!

Knowledge Spots｜Chibanosuke Guide 34What Does the Chiba City Emblem Mean!? Chibanosuke Guide Moon and Star Crest Chiba City Emblem Look! You can see the Chiba City emblem at the top of the arch. I didn’t know it had over a hundred years of history! I wonder why it’s shaped like that? 'Tis based on one of our family crestes ─ the tuskihoshi-mon (moon and star crest) ─ combined with the letter for "chi"(千), the first letter of “Chiba”(千葉). The sweeping strokes of the “chi” (千) also form the star, and the curved lines on either

Knowledge Spots｜Chibanosuke Guide 35A Sweet Connection with Sweet Potatoes!? Chibanosuke Guide Starch production from sweet potatoes flourished after the Meiji period. In the late Taishō era, a factory that processed starch into food products moved into the city, making it an important local industry. They say the starch was used to make things like mizuame (sweet syrup). Chiba City really has a close connection with sweet potatoes! I love roasted sweet potatoes and mizuame! We should be grateful to the people of the past who valued sweet potatoes so much.

Knowledge Spots｜Chibanosuke Guide 36Balloons… That Were Bombs!? Chibanosuke Guide What’s a “balloon bomb”? Toward the end of the war, the army developed a weapon that attached bombs to balloons about 10 meters in diameter. They released them into the jet stream to send them across the Pacific to attack America. It was created by the Army's Technical Research Institute and launched by the Army Balloon Regiment. They launched about 9,000 of them from three coastal areas—along the Pacific in Ibaraki, Fukushima, and Chiba. Nearly 1,000 made it all the way to the U.S.,

Knowledge Spots｜Chibanosuke Guide 37The Same Sugoroku Game All Across Japan!? Chibanosuke Guide They say the same illustration for the “Fukutoku Enman Sugoroku” game was used in various regions! But the shops shown on it were different in each town? Aye, it seems a publisher in Tokyo sold blank sugoroku boards—with only the pictures—to local newspapers across the country. The newspapers then sold the spaces as ad slots to local shops, matched them to the illustrations, printed the boards, and delivered them with the New Year’s edition. Quite the clever business model, indeed!

Knowledge Spots｜Chibanosuke Guide 38A "Jichi Shūkai" Where Anything Goes!? Chibanosuke Guide What kind of gathering was a jichi shūkai? According to records, it was a student-run assembly where children planned and carried out all sorts of activities—writing essays and poems, singing, dancing, reading, studying on their own, holding discussions and meetings… you name it, they did it! Wow, to think they were doing that back in the Taishō period! Education in Chiba City was really ahead of its time.

Knowledge Spots｜Chibanosuke Guide 39Telephones Were a Status Symbol!? Chibanosuke Guide Finally, telephones make an appearance! Aye, but even around 1935, only about 1,200 households in Chiba City—roughly ten percent—had phone service. Only shops, government offices, and a few wealthy families could afford one. So phones were a status symbol back then. Some of the shops in the sugoroku game don’t even have phone numbers!

Knowledge Spots｜Chibanosuke Guide 40The Harsh Reality of Evacuation of School Children Chibanosuke Guide Did all the schoolchildren who were supposed to evacuate actually get to leave? Nay, the "enko sokai"(縁故疎 開) system ─ evacuating to stay with relatives in the countryside ─ was given priority over organized group evacuation through schools("shudan sokai", 集団 疎開). But around one-third of school children couldn’t evacuate at all, whether due to poor health, lack of resources, or needing to help with family work. It really makes you think… What was the purpose of evacuation of school children?
