Demonstration of New Year's Hamarikyu's "Suwa Ryu Hotakatsu" and premiere of "Matsuno Chaya"

[Yurikamome] December 26, 2010 14:49

Announcement of New Year's Day Hamarikyu events:

Demonstration of Suwa style hawk art will be held on January 2nd and 3rd from 11:00 and 14:00 as usual.

The garden volunteer guide is provided twice at 10:00 and 1:00.  

 

From the time of Yatsushiro Shogun Yoshimune Tokugawa, a hawk about five ri square from Edo Nihonbashi was called Okobushiba.

No, he was ruled by Torimi. This name was given because it was a place to release a hawk from a general's fist.

The following two photos show the start of the demonstration on January 2, 2010.

Our customers are looking forward to it every year.

It is also pleasant to look up at the blue sky in a large garden.

Roof ... east Asian hip-and-gable roof

 Kokerabuki: A construction method in which wood (straw material) is thinly divided and laid.

The 30cm board is shifted by 3cm and roofed, so 10 thin boards with a thickness of 3mm overlap.

The board is fastened with bamboo nails. (Some parts use iron or stainless steel nails.)
