Dive in Tokyo - Season 2 Episode 10 Fukagawa - Criss-crossed by Canals
This time we visit Fukagawa, a district on the eastern bank of the Sumida River. Originally a wetland area by the sea, the land was gradually reclaimed in the Edo period, with a network of canals dug to support shipping traffic. It flourished for many years as a distribution center for various goods, especially timber. We visit a shrine at the heart of the community, meet a group of people carrying on a local tradition of logrolling, and savor a bowl of miso-simmered clams poured over rice.
