Aomonochoo 青物町 Aomonocho "vegetable" district
After Tokugawa Ieyasu founded the town, many people came to work here and to feed them all was one of the great projects that had to be taken care of. For fresh vegetables, Ieyasu had a market set up with the help of
Soga Kozaemon 曽我小左衛門 / 曾我小左衛門
He had come from Odawara, Kanagawa and settled in the district near Nihonbashi and Yorozucho 萬町, which soon took the name of the Odawara original.

To the North of Aomonocho was
Ikedai Yashiki 活鯛屋敷
where the fish for Edo Castle were kept in ikesu 生洲 fish preserve ponds.
Soon other wholesalers came to live in Amonocho too, like tea merchants, soy sauce merchants, dried foods merchants and even incense stick merchants and many more
問屋が多く、定飛脚問屋、乾物問屋、茶問屋、紙煙草入問屋、鍋釜問屋、干菓子問屋、薬屋、筆墨硯師、醤油酢問屋など . . .
Near the wholesalers, smaller vegetable shops also set up business.
Most of this area got lost and parts of it are now reconstructed and excarvated from the ruins.
aomono-tori 青物取り taking green things,
is still a common word for collecting sansai 山菜 mountain vegetables in spring.

. Kappa legends from Iwate 河童 / かっぱ / カッパ .
カッパ Kappa and Sumo wrestler 七つ瀧 Nanatsu-Taki (Seven Waterfalls)
At 青物町 Aomonocho there lived a former Sumo wrestler, he now dealt with horses (bakuroo バクロウ). Once he went to the river with a horse, where he met a Kappa. The Kappa wanted to pull the horse into the water, but the strong Nanatsutaki pulled him out with ease. The Kappa apologized and promised never to pull humans into the water again.
He promised to stay off from 明神淵 Myojin-Fuchi to 御舟小屋 Ofune-Koya. And all other Kappa would also respect this promise.
Since this day, no fatal water accidents happened there and people now bring offerings to the local shrine festival
