日本 吹奏楽 発祥の地

There is a temple called Myokoji on the south side of Yamate Park in Yokohama, and this monument is built inside the temple. In October 1869, more than 30 youth clan members of the Satsuma Domain caught a camp at Tomyoka-ji Temple, and headed by the British Army's 10th Solidarity 1st Battalion 1st Army Band, John William Fenton (John William Fenton) I learned brass band from. This was the beginning of the founding of the brass band by Japanese people, and it was the beginning of the brass band activities. In 1989, the 120th anniversary of the birth of Japan, in prayer for the eternal development of Japanese brass band, he consulted with the brass band world and established it. And I was devoted to Nichiren Muneyama Myoukaji Temple. There is also a monument to this temple called Myoko-ji, which is actually "Koku-kun is the birthplace of Shonochi".

After the Meiji Restoration, troops of the Satsuma Domain were stationed here. It seems to be the source of I heard the performance of the Metropolitan Police Department on NHK, but it is quite different from what it is now. In addition, this performance was the beginning of wind music in Japan.

In such a place!
