In the Taisho era, there was a carpenter named Jiro Kato. Although his arm was certain, he was a craftsman from Tokyo to Osaka because of his craftsmanship. "Edokuma" was the street name because it was sown with the Edo kid's dialect.
The tools of Chiyozuruzehide, known as a master craftsman, were said to be enough for craftsmen to celebrate in household miniature shrine. Edokuma, who knew the workmanship, wrote an order request with a sincere wish even though he had no knowledge, and sent it to a copy of his family register. In response to his heart's heart, Chiyozuru trained 15 large chisels, built a train fare, and went to Osaka at night. I always handed it directly to the orderer to confirm the evaluation by myself. They met each other for the first time at Osaka Station and showed each other's poverty. Chiyozuru was a short-lived work for his work until he was convinced himself, and his selling price was high, but his life was not easy. It is said that Edokuma, who purchased the tools of Chiyozuru, who paid 15 to 150 yen in the age of carpenters of 1.50 yen, also borrowed enormous debts for his own arms and sent one of his daughters to geisha a few years later. They continued to interact with each other, and when Edokuma died, Chiyozuru's chisel was as many as 37 pieces. They followed a strange fate, such as being damaged during the war, but some were now delivered to the museum and gained a land of peace.
