The official website of Miyagi "Shiogama" attracting attention due to the "Kimetsu no Yaiba" effect November 9, 15:27
While the animated movie based on the popular manga "Kimetsu no Yaiba" has become a record hit, the official website of Shiogama City, Miyagi Prefecture has been attracting attention in a surprising way, and the number of people browsing it is increasing rapidly.
What is attracting attention is the official website of Shiogama City, Miyagi Prefecture.
The character "gama" in Shiogama City is often used because the character "kama", which means "kama" that cooks rice like "gold" written under "father", has a small number of strokes and is easy to write. I am.
However, from the origin of the place name, the character of "Kamado", which means "Kamado" that boiled seawater to make salt, is the original notation, so the city uses the character with more strokes in official documents. I am using.
In Shiogama City, we have been introducing the stroke order on our website for more than 20 years so that many people will know this character, which has 21 strokes.
Up until now, this page has been accessed about 50 times a day, but since the movie "Kimetsu no Yaiba" was released in the middle of last month, the number of accesses has quadrupled.
Actually, the character "Kamado" is the first character of the name of Tanjiro Kamado, the main character of "Kimetsu no Yaiba", and the city uses it as a reference when fans write the name of Kanjiro. I think.
Masataka Kawaguchi, chief of the Shiogama City Policy Division, said, "There are buildings in the Taisho era that are the same as the setting of" Kimetsu no Yaiba ", and there are tourist spots where you can enjoy the atmosphere of animation, so many people are in the area. I want to use it as an opportunity to learn about its appeal. "
