Ginza Morimae, Bonsai that makes you feel the changing seasons

[Silver] Nov. 17, 2011 16:31

 I enjoy "silver bra" and always see green that is gentle to my eyes. Today, I found a small autumn. It's a bonsai in front of Ginza Morimae.

Hamarikyu Garden Winter feature Snow hanging (Southern style) frost repellent (Obake) 

[Yurikamome] Nov. 17, 2011 08:30

   In the sunny weather of Hamarikyu, snow hanging, a winter tradition, was displayed.

It will give you an accent when your garden becomes lonely. It will entertain your eyes until the end of March.

This decoration cannot support this core snow and is only a decoration.

In earnest, it is "Kenrokuen-style snow hanging", but the smaller one is displayed in Shiba Rikyu Garden.

Snow hanging in Tokyo is divided into "Northern style" and "Southern style", "Koishikawa Korakuen" and "Rokugien" are northern style, and "Hamarikyu Garden" and "Hibiya Park" are southern style.

The method of the master at that time is still handed down.

The tip of the sail column is called Valen.

The decoration is made with a hanging rope.

It is a rich decorative snow hanging with a lot of thin ropes.

The bamboo passing sideways is called Kanzashi.

In warm regions, cold-sensitive plants such as cycad and Digo are rolled up with straw during the winter to protect trees from the cold of winter.

The contents of this photo in the garden of Hamarikyu are not cycad, but bamboo is placed on the ground and it is decorated with straw. Therefore, the name among craftsmen is "Obake ..."                  

                         

 

 

Matsushima Shrine (Otori Shrine) / Okuninushi Tori-no-ichi Fair November 14

[Yurikamome] Nov. 17, 2011 08:30

Matsushima Shrine: 2-15-2 Nihonbashi Ningyocho   

 It is a shrine that is said to be infinite treasures, fulfillment of great wishes, and spiritual experiences.

It is also included in the Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods Tour, which departs from the Mitsukoshi Main Store on New Year's Day.

Before the Great Fire of the Meiryaku era (1657) took place, there were many playhouses around it, so it seems that there were many worshipers, kimono merchants, Kabuki actors, and geisha.

The "Rooster Market" in November is still a grand event and seems to have been a entertainment district in the past.

           2011_1114 Matsushima Shrine Tori-no-ichi Fair Photo 0013.JPG As lucky items, kumade is sold from the point where the eagle "grab" prey, and other "golden mochi" and "sansho mochi" made of "head potatoes" chestnuts are sold.

It was also a prevention of colds in winter.

Recently, "Ryomu" bills have been sold, and many young people worship.

       2011_1114 Matsushima Shrine Large Decoration Photo 0011.JPG    Every year kumade has a custom of buying a "big kumade."

    If one price is "San,000 yen", it seems that the price should be "20,000 yen ..."

   Don't forget to put 10,000 yen if you can buy it for "20,000 yen" as "Fuse" ...

   One thing, when kumade sells, applause of "337 beats" occurs.

   I applauded with everyone, too.

 ※ In the past, my grandmother Chama had bought in Tori-no-ichi Fair, "kumade's Kanzashi" on her hair ...

   A friend who went with me told me.

Beige, at CHANEL 's No.9th floor

[Silver] Nov. 16, 2011 08:30

After seeing the news of Ginza Restaurant Week, I came to Beige, a French restaurant on the 9th floor of the CHANEL Ginza store. Today, my wife and my eldest couple came to enjoy lunch.

From the entrance facing Marronnier Street, take the elevator.

Welcome Drink is Koshu wine that matches the fish.


Next is the soup made with Omar shrimp.

Fresh sea scent spreads in your mouth.


Salmon from Hokkaido and saute of "Uikyo". The sauce is a trade secret sauce that uses egg yolks and mayonnaise and something. The dessert is made with almanacque on Savalan and finished with whipped. CIMG9336.jpgCIMG9338.jpg

Coffee after meals. The espresso was also fragrant and delicious. After that, the chocolate was also cute and looked like a shirt button. Ginza Restaurant Week. I'm looking forward to next year. “Beige, Alain Ducasse” website is available at http://www.beige-tokyo.com/.

 

 

 

The monument of Ginbari is located between MONT BLANC BLDG and Ginza Morimae.

[Silver] Nov. 16, 2011 08:30

Today, the weather was fine, so I was spressed with "Silver Bra". In autumn, the street corner where chanson is likely to be heard. A little bit, I walked with nostalgia of the ruins of Ginbari. On the corner of Ginza 7-chome, a little east of the MONT BLANC Building, you will find a monument of Ginbari. noteI felt that it wasnotes dead leaves, but unfortunately Ginzo is an elementary school student. Also, when the store closes, go out of Japan. Let's buy Yukari Kaneko's hit Melo Day "Reunion" at Yamano Musical Instruments at 4-chome.

 Next door, Ginza Morimae is a shop specializing in bonsai.

Postscript: I'm really happy to be able to write down the date of construction on one side of the monument. fujiI think it deserves shinethe Cultural Achievement Award.
