I'm a mere ragamuffin of unknown origins and background. When I was a child, I was picked up and brought up by people from the okabasho when I was a little prankster, not knowing what was right or wrong. I've toootally forgotten about the past though, and now I'm living a carefree life as a steeplejack.

Trivia

  • Oshiage's birthday is the opening date of Oshiage Station in 1912.
  • Oshiage's animal motif is the finnsheep. Likely a reference to the Kanebo, Ltd company, which was one of the spinning companies in Japan that pioneered the production of yarn, based in Oshiage.
  • Oshiage speaks in an Edokko Beranme dialect.
  • The sheep climbing a ladder behind [Revelry of the Sheep] is a reference to the Hasigo-nori ceremony held at the New Year's first ceremonies, one of Japan's traditional performing arts.
  • Oshiage and the sheep's attire are a reference to the historical hikeshigumi, which was the firefighting organization of the time. One of the great fires of the Edo period was the Meireki Fire, also known as the Furisode Fire.
  • "Umeno," was a man she was interested in, who was wearing a costume with a chrysanthemum pattern on a sandy beach. Umeno means plum blossoms and chrysanthemums. Araiso is a design of a beach with rough waves.
  • The small painted fireworks in [Revelry of the Sheep] probably refers to the Sumida River Fireworks Festival.
  • The tower in the background of [Revelry of the Sheep] is the Tokyo Skytree, the iconic building that's next to Oshiage Station. Her liking for high places and buildings is also a reference to this building's achievements.
  • The Iris Cloud version of Otegine (オテギネ) is Oshiage's legendary spear. The real life counterpart (御手杵) was a spear that Yuki Harutomo, a daimyo, ordered Shimada Gisuke, a swordsmith, to make. It was lost in the Bombing of Tokyo in 1945. The type of blade shape was omi yari.

Oshiage Station entrance.

Oshiage Station (押上駅, Oshiage-eki) is a railway station in Sumida, Tokyo, Japan, jointly operated by Tokyo Metro, Tobu Railway, Toei, and Keisei Electric Railway. It is adjacent to the Tokyo Skytree complex. In conjunction with the opening of Tokyo Skytree Town, "Skytree-mae" was introduced as a common sub-station name for all stations on 22 May 2012. The station is located at the Oshiage-eki-mae intersection of Metropolitan Routes 453 and 465 (Asakusa-dōri and Yotsume-dōri respectively).

The Tokyo Metro Hanzomon Line and Tobu Isesaki Line serve the station. It is the terminus of the Hanzomon Line and one of the starting points of the Isesaki Line, except for some trains on the Hanzomon Line, which operate directly with each other through this station. The Isesaki Line trains between Asakusa and Tobu Zoo and between Oshiage and Tow Fun are nicknamed the 'Tobu Skytree Line', and the name 'Tobu Skytree Line' is used preferentially in passenger information. Although the line from this station to Tobikibune Station on the Isesaki Line is a branch line, it is officially treated as an extension of the line between Tobikibune Station and Tokyo Skytree Station (which is treated as the same station as this station for fare calculation purposes).

Oshiage Station interior.

In the early days of the Keisei Electric Railway, the station was positioned as a terminal station on the Tokyo side, close to the busy Asakusa area. Initially, the station was intended to be a connection station with the Tokyo City Tram (later the Metropolitan Tram), so the original gauge of the Keisei Electric Railway was laid out at 1,372 mm. Later, the company applied to build a line from Oshiage to Asakusa, and also planned to build an elevated line to Ueno and Akihabara, but the upper management of the company became impatient with the competing application with Tobu Railway, causing the Keisei Train Scandal (Keisei Jail), and the plan to connect to Asakusa was abandoned. After the Asakusa line was abandoned, the line became a half-finished "urban gut line".

In 1960, the station became a direct connection to Asakusa and central Tokyo with the start of direct service with the Toei Subway. The above-ground station building was used afterwards, but was later completely underground, and the Keisei Electric Railway head office, which had previously been located in Ueno, was relocated to the site of the former above-ground station (it was later relocated in front of Keisei-Yawata Station in Ichikawa, Chiba Prefecture, in 2013). In 2003, when the Tobu Isezaki Line and the Hanzomon Line of the Eidan Subway (now Tokyo Metro) began operating directly with each other, the stations of both lines were opened, making the station a four-line station.

Tokyo Skytree.

Tokyo Skytree (東京スカイツリー) is a broadcasting and observation tower in Sumida, Tokyo. It became the tallest structure in Japan in 2010 and reached its full height of 634 meters (2,080 ft) in March 2011, making it the tallest tower in the world, displacing the Canton Tower, and the third tallest structure in the world after the Merdeka 118 (678.9 m or 2,227 ft) and the Burj Khalifa (829.8 m or 2,722 ft). It is also the tallest freestanding structure in the OECD, the G20 and G7 countries.

The tower is the primary television and radio broadcast site for the Kantō region; the older Tokyo Tower no longer gives complete digital terrestrial television broadcasting coverage because it is surrounded by high-rise buildings. Skytree was completed on Leap Day, 29 February 2012, with the tower opening to the public on 22 May 2012. The tower is the centrepiece of a large commercial development funded by Tobu Railway (which owns the complex) and a group of six terrestrial broadcasters headed by NHK. Trains stop at the adjacent Tokyo Skytree Station and nearby Oshiage Station. The complex is seven kilometres (4.3 miles) northeast of Tokyo Station. In addition, there is the Sumida Aquarium in the "Tokyo Solamachi" complex.

From October to November 2007, suggestions were collected from the general public for the name to be given to the tower. On 19 March 2008, a committee chose six final candidate names: Tōkyō Sukaitsurī (東京スカイツリー, "Tokyo sky tree"), Tōkyō Edo Tawā (東京EDOタワー, "Tokyo Edo tower"), Raijingu Tawā (ライジングタワー, "Rising tower"), Mirai Tawā (みらいタワー, "Tower of the future"), Yumemi Yagura (ゆめみやぐら, "Dream lookout"), Raijingu Īsuto Tawā (ライジングイーストタワー, "Rising east tower"). The official name was decided in a nationwide vote, and was announced on 10 June 2008 as "Tokyo Skytree". The name received around 33,000 votes (30%) out of 110,000 cast, with the second most popular name being "Tokyo Edo Tower". The height of 634 m (2,080 ft) was selected to be easily remembered. The figures 6 (mu), 3 (sa), 4 (shi) stand for "Musashi", an old name of the region where the Tokyo Skytree stands. Wikipedia
