6Column: Edo bear chisel

In the Taisho era, there was a carpenter named Jiro Kato. His skill was certain, but because of his craftsmanship, he flowed from Tokyo to Osaka to work as a craftsman. The street name was 'Edokuma' because it was sowed with Edokko dialect.

Chiyozuruzehide's tools, known as a master craftsman, were said to be enough for craftsmen to celebrate household miniature shrine. Edo Kuma, who knew the workmanship, wrote a request for an order with a wish, even though he had no knowledge, and sent a copy of his family register. In response to his heart, Chiyozuru trained 15 large chisels and went to Osaka by night train to pay the train fare. This is because I always handed it directly to the orderer to confirm the evaluation by myself. The two met for the first time at Osaka Station showed each other's poverty. Chiyozuru worked hard until he was satisfied with himself, so his life was obscured, and although the selling price was high, it was not easy to live. It is said that Edo bears who purchased Chiyozuru's tools, who also paid 15 to 150 yen during the time of carpenter's labor of 1.50 yen, paid a huge debt for his arm and paid one of his daughters to geisha two to three years later. The two continued to interact closely with each other, and when the Edo bear died, Chiyozuru's chisel had 37 pieces. They had a strange fate, such as being devastated during the war, but some have now been delivered to the museum and have a safe place.
