What?
Really?
Yes.
In modern Japan, there is a popsicle called “Garigari-kun” which is popular for its refreshing taste.

Speaking of dogs, in the Edo period (1603-1867) when we lived in, there was a shogun who loved dogs very much.
Is it the fifth shogun, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi?

Yes, yes!
Is he well-known even today?
The Decree for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is famous, isn’t it?

In the Edo period, there were stray dogs everywhere.
They sometimes bit people, and that was a problem.

So Tsunayoshi built an oversized kennel to protect stray dogs.

How big do you think it was?
Was it about the size of a schoolyard?
![Princess rabbit<br>(USAHIME)](https://japanese-things.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/名称未設定のデザイン-10-1-350x360.png)
(USAHIME)
Wrong!
The answer is about 1.5 million square meters!
It is the size of 20 Tokyo Domes!
Was it that big?!?
![monkey lord<br>(SARUDONO)](https://japanese-things.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/名称未設定のデザイン-19-640x360.jpg)
(SARUDONO)
Mm.
Around 80,000 to 100,000 stray dogs were sheltered in the area from Koenji Station to Nakano Station in today’s Tokyo.
The scale is too large to imagine.
![monkey lord<br>(SARUDONO)](https://japanese-things.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/名称未設定のデザイン-5-1-640x360.jpg)
(SARUDONO)
Hmmm.
Well, thanks to that, the number of stray dogs in Edo decreased drastically.

Until then, dog meat was eaten for food, but that is no longer the case.
Dog meat!?
![monkey lord<br>(SARUDONO)](https://japanese-things.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/名称未設定のデザイン-15-1-640x360.jpg)
(SARUDONO)
Ho-ho-ho.
It was a long time ago.
Well・・・
Let’s refresh ourselves by eating “Garigari-kun” for humans instead of “Wan Wan-kun” for dogs!!
