Sugamo Okago Machi 巣鴨御駕籠町 Sugamo "Palanquin district"
文京区 Bunkyo ward 本駒込 六丁目 Hon-Komagome 6th sub-district,
豊島区 Toshima ward, 駒込 Komagome second sub-district
Since 1697, the palanquin makers of the Edo Bakufu government lived here, said to be about 51 craftsmen.
They made palanquins for the Shogun himself and for his family. Some of the craftsmen were sworn to secrecy to protect the safety of the Shogun. They were given special black Hanten coats to show their status.
The district was rather long and narrow, with many estates of Samurai in-between.
