    After Tokugawa Ieyasu entered Edo in 1590, fishermen from Settsu Province (present-day Osaka) moved to the area and created the district of Tsukuda. They were granted permission to fish in the waters around Edo and presented seafood to the Tokugawa family. The fishermen also began selling their surplus catch to the general public with the Shogunate’s approval. This became the origin of the Nihonbashi Fish Market. Following the Great Kanto Earthquake, the market was destroyed by fire, leading to the decision to relocate to Tsukiji. This brought an end to the 300-year history of the Nihonbashi Fish Market. Today, a stone monument stands at the site alongside a statue modeled after Otohime (the Dragon Princess). The statue reflects the saying that "all the fish of the sea, residents of the Dragon Palace, gathered here at Nihonbashi."
