高瀬川は、江戸初期に豪商によって作られた物流用の運河で、京都で最もにぎわう先斗町のあたりを通っています。高瀬舟は浅い河川で使われていた平底の舟で、この舟の名前からとって高瀬川と呼ばれるようになりました。 原作では「京都の町の家々を両岸に見つつ、東へ走って、加茂川を横切って下る」と書いてありますが、地図を見るとどう見ても南北に走っているので、冒頭の部分を「南北」としました。 The Takase River is a logistics canal built by wealthy merchant "Suminokura" in the early Edo period and runs through the area around Ponto-cho, the busiest district in Kyoto. Takase-bune, a flat-bottomed boat used on the shallow river, was named after this boat and thus the name Takase-gawa. In the original story by Mori Ogai, it says, “Running eastward, with the houses of Kyoto town on both banks, it crosses the Kamo River and descends,” but looking at the map, it runs north-south, so I changed the first part of this version to “north-south”.
Love the channel. Suggestion: can you consider choosing a slightly darker background besides white? It's really hard to read now that we are so used to Dark Mode.
Your videos are great. If I could make a suggestion, it would be to highlight the word that is being read as you read it. This additional feature would be extremely useful to a beginner like me. Please if you could do that it would be greatly appreciated it. 🥺😊

Thank you for resuming this story and making it available for japanese beginners. It is really an interesting read.
This is my favorite story from you yet! It's so tragic and relatable
