Ukiyo-e (Part 4) that decorates shutters in the Nihonbashi area

[Yurikamome] June 25, 2011 08:30

 I walked a lot in search of the ukiyo-e picture drawn on the shutters of the Nihonbashi district.

Walking along a road that you didn't know about, watching beautifully blooming flowers ... finding a small park ... I had a good time.

I would like to end with this "Part 4", but only the tofu shop "Futaba" was unable to take pictures because Japanese shop curtain was on the picture at any time.

Today is an ukiyo-e that I couldn't see even if I visited the Kyobashi area.

      

      Nishikan Honten 1-10 Kyobashi 1-chome, Chuo-ku, Tokyo   

               Ukiyo-e "Tokaido 53rd Kyoto Sanjo Ohashi"

                 Ukiyo-e "Honchonabashinouchi Eto Nihonbashi Map"

When I talked to the person who was cleaning the shutter that had been up once in the table of "Hotel Kazusaya", he dropped the shutter again. 

Thank you ... thank you ...

 

The creator, Akiko Fukunaga, was a young person and worked hard in front of the shutter.

I was impressed that it was a wonderful thing, and her feelings were conveyed.

I think that many young people besides Akiko Fukunaga were involved in the production of shutters in Chuo-ku.

I strongly felt the support of young people who protect the history and culture of Edo.
