◎Correspondent Visit to Shopping Street (9th)◎

"Always thank you, always rewarding" "No prosperity without gathering people"!

/ Ningyocho Shopping Street Cooperative

 

A number of long-established stores have been newly added, and we visited the Ningyocho Shopping Street Cooperative, which currently has 206 members, and interviewed Vice President Minamitani.

     

Ningyocho Shopping Street has a long history, and in 1908, a union organization called "Shoseikai" was formed ahead of the world, and based on the "always thanks, always rewarding" of the merchant soul inherited from the Edo era, Founded a union in 1956. The philosophy of the shopping street is that there is no prosperity without gathering people, and while preserving the culture and traditions of Edo so that many people can gather, they always think and implement new things. One of the reasons why the shopping district is lively is that the young organization is solid, and the Sansuikai was formed in 1974, and about 70 people are currently planning and executing events. At the age of 50, it seems that he will not be a member and will be a supporter, but since Edokko with a personality-in-law are playing a lot, many events such as Setono City, Tenten Festival and Ningyo Market will be exciting I think.

 

 Among the many long-established stores, Hatsune of the sweet shop has been running since the Edo period of Tempo 8 (1837), and as with the shop of Vice President Minamitani, there are many long-established stores in Meiji period that have been founded, and the kind hospitality and delicious taste that have been passed down from generation to generation, make it a nostalgic and relieved that you can never come. Ningyocho-dori, where the shopping street is located, was maintained last year, and the sidewalk expanded by 30 cm, making it a non-slip and easy-to-walk granite. The history of Ningyocho Shopping Street and the nostalgic streets of the past can be listed in "New Edition Nihonbashi Ningyocho", so if you are interested, please purchase it at a bookstore. (3,500 yen) 

 After the “newcomers” set in Ningyocho was broadcast nationwide, many families and young people from all over Japan will visit the “newcomers location tour” to stroll around the shops they saw on TV. It seems that you will see it. The "shopping map", which is convenient for first-time visitors, is distributed free of charge at member stores and can be downloaded from the website, so please use it. http://www.ningyocho.or.jp/

 

Many people are waiting for an hour to see both of the two Karakuri towers on Ningyocho-dori, so recently, every 30 minutes in addition to just the time from 11:00 to 19:00 It seems that the mechanism is moving. The Karakuri Ogura is also perfect for the atmosphere of Ningyocho, but I think that the worries of such shopping streets are also a story like Ningyocho. The town fire extinguisher tower can be seen by ladder rides and makiage while listening to tree singing songs in the costumes and wear of the "Hagumi" under the jurisdiction. The Edo Rakugo Ogura is a live voice of Danyuki Tachikawa, where the creative story "The Origin of Ningyocho" flows for about 2 minutes, and you can see the streets of Edo and the townspeople. Please take a look when you come to Ningyocho.

 

In the coming season, Ningyogai Shopping Street is full of fun events. Children from nearby elementary schools can also participate in the event together, connect the shopping street and the children through the day experience of the shop, etc., and the children who will carry the next era can enjoy Edo culture and tradition I think that it is the uniqueness of downtown that you can get used to it. The main events are as follows, and I'm looking forward to it every year. For details, please refer to the website of Ningyocho Shopping Street.

 

   ●Sunday, October 10 11:30 to 16:00 Tenten Festival (Ningyomachi Street) Rainy weather event

For the future of the shopping district, "newcomers" were very popular on national broadcasting, so we are considering tours from all over Japan, so after sightseeing such as Sky Trees, shopping and eating in Ningyocho When realized, this seems to be a big hit.   

In addition, the homepage is already available in English, Korean and Chinese so that many foreigners can come, and a shopping map is being created. Ningyocho has the Toei Asakusa Line and Hakozaki Interchange, so access to Haneda Airport and Narita Airport is very convenient.

It is close to Ginza and Asakusa, which are very popular with foreigners, so I think people all over the world can feel the Edo atmosphere.

 

 

 

 

I've been a newcomer for five years since I moved to this city, but I love Ningyocho, which is convenient, safe and very cozy. There are many purposes to come, such as shopping and dining, events such as Setonoichi and Ningyoichi, theater at Meijiza, visiting Suitengu, visiting Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods, visiting newcomer locations, and so on. Ningyocho Shopping Street has 206 member stores, so anyone can always find their favorite shops, so please come by all means. 

 

 

 

Since it was the autumn tourist season, a foreign passenger ship entered the port for the first time in a long time.

Looking at the telescope, I could see a large number of foreigners looking at Tokyo from decks and windows on the top floor.

The flag was "BAHAMAS" and entered the port from Sendai around 9 o'clock and left for Osaka in the evening.

It was a day trip to Tokyo ... Where did you see ...? ？

On September 28 (Tuesday), it was raining since the morning, but the rain stopped in the evening and the change in the sky at the sunset was too beautiful, so I pressed the shutter. I took a picture of "Shiodome" from "Kachidoki".

 

 

It's a shop I happened to pass by and found at 1-chome.
"Ginza Soap" was written on the outside signboard, so I tried to enter it.

It was like an aromatherapy shop, and there was also an essential oil.

It seems that it will take at least one month to complete this Ginza soap.
Synthetic surfactants, artificial fragrances, using only raw materials that are thoroughly particular about quality.
It seems that they do not use any preservatives or alcohol.

Black diamond, aquamarine, pullmeria, avocado, olive, LOVE IS ...
There are 6 types, but there was a trial size that was half the thickness of ordinary soap, so I purchased it.
It's 945 yen with a handkerchief.

However, this soap is also written as Ginza Soap.
It seems that this pink part is a natural clay with a licensee premium soap.
Since it contains camellia oil and natural clay, is it a gradation version of LOVE IS ...?

At this shop, I've been promoting tourist association correspondents (laughs).

On the way home, I received a sample set of 6 kinds of Ginza soap (* ^^ *)

　

Basically, it seems to be a facial soap, so I tried using it immediately.♪
Creamy foam leaves your skin clean even after washing.
If this is good for your skin, you don't have to say it!

And there was such a heart soap. It's 500 yen in heart shape.

　
There was also a soap for dogs called Ginza DOGS.

There was also a franchise treatment oil.
At 22:00 for the witches, Franckinsense was introduced as a rejuvenation oil.
When I tried using the tester, it was very moist.

　In the Meiji 2025s, the Bread Association was a gathering of young literary artists and artists who pursued new art, led by Mokutaro Kinoshita, Kitahara Hakushu, Isamu Yoshii, Kotaro Takamura, Kashiwatei Ishii, and Shirako Kurata. The venue was a shop close to the Sumida River, which resembled Seine, but on November 20, 1910, it was held grandly at Sanshu-ya, a western dish of Daidenmacho 2-chome Gourd Shindo. ・・ ・ I walked on the "Gourd Shindo" today.

　 Looking at the cut-out map of Edo, "Hiyatan Simmichi" was the back street south of Honmachidori. If you go east, you will find Daimaru Shinmichi on the back street of Daimaru Kimono Store. Even on the current map, the road remains in its position. On the west side of Ningyocho-dori, the current residence indication shows that the road less than 50m between Nihonbashi Daidenmacho 6 and Nihonbashi Horidomecho 1-11 was the "Gourd Shindo". [On the photo] Then, where was "Sanshu-ya"? According to Utaro Noda's "Literary Walk", which asked about this area more than 60 years ago, "The place where Sanshu-ya was located is the gourd Shindo It seems that it was around [right photo].

　On the day of the meeting, lanterns made by members were lowered in front of the store. "When it comes to gourd Shindo, I remember, at the entrance facing the dark Yokocho storehouse, Shirahari's Japanese lantern, which drew a large face of the sheep god, was hanging down in the wind. (Isamu Yoshii "Okawabata") At this time, the "Bread no Kai" was attended by Shirakaba, Mita literature, and Shinshicho Dojin in addition to the main Subaru and square. Dozens of artists gathered together in this store, which was not very large, and it was a great success and a great sake feast.

　Junichirou Tanizaki will meet Kafu Nagai for the first time here. "Teacher! I really like teachers! I worship the teacher! I read all the things that my teacher writes!" When I bowed with drunk momentum, I drink alcohol The wind that doesn't drink "Thank you. Thank you. "It's in Tanizaki's "Youth Story" that responded loudly. The following year in November 1911, Kafu presented "Junichiro Tanizaki's work" in "Mita Literature", awarded Tanizaki a great prize, and he suddenly became a darling of the literary world.

　Kimura Shohachi's famous oil painting "Bread no Kai" (1928) is said to have been drawn while imagining the scene of the day's party attended by his brother Shota.
