The first reference to Edomae-zushi is found in a senryu (humorous poem) in "Yanagidaru" (a collection of senryu) published in 1829: 'Sushi shaped by ninja's magic' (made in 1827).* Ninja's pressing his hands together at eye level before using ninja skills looks like shaping sushi by hand. 文献的には文政12年(1829年 1827年作句)『柳多留』に「妖術という身で握るすしの飯」とあるのが初出である。 |
