As you all know, there are many galleries and galleries in the Ginza area.

Today, let's introduce one of them, "Man's Handicraft Exhibition vol.6" held at Gallery Yugen.

 

As the name implies, all the works are made by male artists. I thought it was a bold and wild atmosphere, and there were many delicate and beautiful works lined up at the venue.

Information board in front of the venue: Various works such as pottery, accessories, glass, metalwork, bags, ocarina, furniture, etc. are introduced.

 

       

 All the photos are works by Koji Totsuka. He seems to be working on creative work by managing a limited amount of time while he is busy at work.

 

   

The expression of the work that combines kindness and astringency reflects the way of life of the creator.

One of the originalities of Totsuka's work is the lampshade on the right of the photo. A fantastic light is born from a slit that is carefully opened one by one based on detailed calculations.

 

"Man's Handicraft Exhibition vol.6" will be held until October 10 (Sun).

Time is from 11:00 to 19:00 (last day ~ 17:00) Click here for a map of the venue.　

Please come to the venue and enjoy the autumn of art.

One of the events of the "58th Chuo-ku Tourism and Commerce Festival" (October 1-November 5, 2010), hands-on treasure hunting event "Chuo-ku Great Investigation Line-chase the legend of Oedo Treasures! ~ (until 11/5).

After seeing the opening ceremony of the Chuo-ku Tourism and Commerce Festival (10/1, from 11:00 to 11:30, main venue: Ginza Mitsukoshi 9th floor "Ginza Terrace"), the weather seems to be interesting, so we challenged a treasure hunting event Did.

 

It took half a day, but without taking care of the hint store, I found 8 treasure chests (wooden: vertical 10cm x 7.5cm, height 8cm) and collected 8 keywords inside I was able to do it.

The treasure hunt identifies eight places by looking at a picture (in the pamphlet) that serves as a clue to the place where the treasure chest is located, but the place with the treasure chest is scattered widely in Chuo-ku, Edo Bus It was a very good walking and gymnastics with the mind while being troublesome (10/1 was free).

 

If you want to challenge this treasure hunt, first get a pamphlet containing "how to participate", "cues", "keyword entry column", etc. at public facilities and antenna shops in Chuo-ku.

 

In addition, the pamphlet also contains a list of "Discovery Reporting Offices" (9 locations) and "Hint Offering Shops" (40 locations) and a "map" showing those locations.

If you look closely at the clues in this pamphlet, you will find out where the treasure chest is located.

And there is also an image of what order to turn around.

 

But even if you don't know everything, it's best to go to the place you know first. I understand the feeling.

The photo shows a treasure chest (open state) at the base of the bridge. It's small.

On the way, I often met a group of two or three elementary school students who were challenging.

This photo shows a group of elementary school students who came to the treasure chest with the help of their mother.

 

There is a treasure chest for a squatting child!

This photo captures the keyword of the treasure chest at the base of the pole.

Mothers who exchange information at the following points, and elementary school students who look at clues and maps to consider the following.

If you find more than four treasure chests, write a keyword in the keyword entry field, go to the discovery report office, press a confirmation stamp, and get the "Discoverer Award". If you find all eight, you can also get the right to win luxurious prizes by lottery as a "perfect prize". (The "Discoverer Award" is limited to the first 3,000 people.)

Fill in the keyword, fill in the same address and name and questionnaire, cut off the page from the pamphlet, put it in the application box of the discovery report office to complete the treasure hunting game.

The photo on the left shows the application box and pamphlet

I think some people have already been cleared, but if you haven't yet, by all means (return to childhood?) Please try the treasure hunting event. Adults can enjoy quite a bit!

 

I wish you success. (O umbrella (Oh))

 

 

If it is absolutely difficult to understand the location of the treasure chest just by looking at the clues of the pamphlet, "O umbrella" will give a little comment below about the picture of the "guide" on the pamphlet (I hope you will not understand it ...)

 

Keywords of Treasure 1: The opening ceremony near the main venue!

Keywords of Treasure 2: There is a line written, but it's a road.

Keywords of Treasure 3: There are three bridges with similar names, but pay attention to the stone wall in the figure!

Keywords of Treasure 4: The statue of a bear is located in front of the yagura.

Keywords of Treasure 5: The pink track goes to Taito-ku. The grass-colored track goes to Chiyoda-ku.

Keywords of Treasure 6: The master of the sword is famous for his Sukedachi in Takadanobaba.

Keywords of Treasure 8: In the Meiji era, there was a ferry boat from Tsukiji to Tsukishima Reclaimed Land. It's not on the terrace along the river.

 

GOOD LUCK !!

 

 

Satsuki Yanagi was writing an article about Chocolat Cafe, so it's a supplement (* ^^ *)

 

Linz is located in Ginza 7-chome.
It used to be a cute shop with a small frontage.
As it grew up, Asia's first Chocolat Cafe in Linz was added.

　

 

I had just drank coffee after the meal, so I bought chocolate and went home.
I'm glad that there is a mass sale (*^^*)

 

　

This round one is Lin Dole,
Chocolate with hard outside and melting inside.
Milk, bitter, white, and hazelnuts are all delicious~ (* ^^*)
Even though the square mini chocolate is small, the quality is truly Linz.

 

There are 9 types in total, but the selling by weight is 100 grams 760 yen.
I bought it one by one and it was 85 grams.

 

The macaron was also large and delicious, but
Also, I will keep it for the next time (*^^*)

Golden bunny chocolate I bought at the previous Linz shop! The inside is hollow, but it is cute.★

The current Tsukishima was built in 1892 as the first landfill in Tokyo Bay.

Many factories and warehouses were located one after another in the area, as well as many jobs and workers' housings were built, and the population increased rapidly. It is said that Nishinaka-dori was formed at the end of the Meiji era as a shopping street for the procurement of food and daily necessities for these residents.

I heard that the population increased further from the Taisho era to the early Showa era, and street vendors were lined up on the street. Fortunately, except for a small part, the city survived the war and was quickly restored after the war. In 1946, the shopping streets that were divided into individual were integrated and newly established as "Tsukishima Nishinaka Kyoueikai Shopping Street".

In 1987, Kyodo Shisetsu, a semi-mall-style downtown area (arcades with current gable roofs, street trees, gates, information boards, color pedestrian paths, etc.) was completed and continues to the present day.

Although it has been newly renovated, behind the arcade, in addition to the traditional "girder structure" and "signboard architecture", traces of old signs that show the type of business at a glance can be seen everywhere.

Nishinaka-dori, which was originally started by a candy store for children, now attracts visitors to Nishinaka-dori, which is completely familiar as Monja Street.

Along with the changes in the surrounding environment, when you see the changes in the business format from the type of business on the signboard behind the arcade, the transfer to a monjayaki shop, etc., you can feel the transition of the times.

On weekends, it is crowded with many visitors, but in addition to the monjayaki, in addition to the cityscape that retains the remnants of Showa, please look up above and enjoy the history of the shopping street.

 

    

      

        

                

     

               

 

As I mentioned a little while appearing in the correspondent corner of "FM Chuo", I recently enjoyed jogging early in the morning on weekends.

Shortly after dawn, the town feels like a sleeping lion quietly waits for the activity time.

From the Chuo-ohashi Bridge and the Sumida Riverside, you can also see the Tokyo Sky Tree under construction.

Looking at Tsukuda's high-rise apartments from the base of Aioi Bridge, it seems that they are excited in the morning sun.

 

Let's run harder so that the legs do not stop because of the scenery.
