During the light rain, the red ribbon illuminations wrapped around the brand building at the intersection of Chuo-dori and Ginza Marronnier Street were lit.

It's the arrival of a swirling season.  

This year, everywhere seems to use LED lighting to save energy and eco-friendly lighting.

The photo below shows the Christmas illuminations of Marronnier Gate at the intersection of Sotobori-dori St. and Marronnier Street.

From this week onwards, Christmas illuminations will make the city lively.

On the weekend of Koharu weather, the 63rd Chuo Ward cultural festival Exhibition was held at Tsukishima Social Education Center.
A total of 627 works were exhibited from 42 groups and individuals as a place for circles to enjoy painting, photography, Japanese calligraphy, handicrafts, crafts, ikebana, Haiku, etc.

At the venue, there are also experiences such as making Oshie and carrying straps made with braids, etc.
Visitors also enjoyed the perfect time for the autumn of culture.

This year's exhibition ended on the 13th, but please come again next year.
It would be nice to participate in a circle of interest and exhibit the work (by the way, my husband exhibited the Arabic calligraphy work in the photo).

Today, after visiting the eldest couple and Mrs. Suitengu to pray for safe delivery, we came to shop for maternity wear. Monterre is next to Shigemori's doll-yaki, Edo confectionery shop Suitengu Tsukushi.　Winter wear with a baby holding in front, a Japanese shop curtain-like easy breastfeeding blouse with open arms on both sides of the chest.　It's really amazing.　Of course, I was waiting outside.

Finally, the favorite silver shop, Heisei Nihonbashi Western Shop since 2007.　Here, my first shopping is Aloha shirt.　Today, I saw a jacket and shirt for the casual day on Friday, and bought three nice shirts with my parents and children.　It is a shop that is friendly to the common people.

It is a common town where humanity and history remain.　Please enjoy it as a set with Suitengu Shrine, Meijiza Theater Theater, and Gourmet.

"Tsubame Grill", which is open on the first basement floor of the Ginza Core Building, was founded in 1930.

The famous "Tsubame-style Hamburg steak" has no experience yet and I came to lunch today.

　At 11:00 am, we started to get crowded with couples and friends as early as possible. Everyone, I'm looking for a "swallow-style Hamburg steak".　My neighbor ordered a fluffy homemade bread that looked delicious, so I ordered it in addition to rice.

　The sound and aroma of freshly baked hot juice stimulate your appetite. On the Hamburg steak, rose meat containing beef fat is added to add the taste of meat. Migravy that fits perfectly with slightly baked potatoes and white rice.　I soaked the gravy in bread and enjoyed it all the time.　The coffee after the meal is espresso.　It is a silver made that has completely regained its vitality, burned with the will of Discover Ginza, and went out to the city of Ginza again.　It was also during the Ginza Restaurant Week.　You can use a Happy Meal Ticket for Chuo-ku. It was very delicious and enjoyed the benefits of the discount, and it was really a treat.　http://www.tsubame-grill.co.jp/ for details and commitment to “Tsubame Grill”.

　On October 30, 2011, a presentation of the naming of the street was held and went there.

First of all, as a greeting, Mr. Matsujiro Takasaka, chairman of the Ginza Nishihachimachi Association, explained the background of the naming.

Next, as a table talk, the lecturer was a young master of Shimbashi Ryotei Kanadanaka, president of the Tokyo Shimbashi Association, and a geisha in Ginza connected from late Tokugawa shogunate to the present. If I would like to introduce the details, the roots of Shimbashi Geisha are:

―――He lent the home area given by Mr. Kinharu Tayu to a performing arts teacher, and since the teachers had many beautiful women, they were called to welcome and welcome the daimyo residence.　Mr. Tokiwazu Mojiwasa of Kinharu Performing Arts Village, got permission to take care of the elderly in Edo shogunate at the time, and performed the arts, which was the basis for the Hanayanagi world. Was.―――

　late Tokugawa shogunate, the young samurai who came from the West with the rejection of the Emperor, were not treated at the finest Yanagibashi at the time, but Shimbashi Geisha warmly welcomed him.

As a result, in the early Meiji era, Yanagibashi, which inherited the culture of Edo, Shimbashi, the emerging city Shimbashi, and the Shimbashi Hanayanagi world developed before it was called Shinryu Nikyo, but also secret stories were introduced here Was. --When the Tokaido Line opened to Nagoya, Kaoru Inoue from the Choshu clan, who had served as a former Meiji elder, Foreign Minister, Minister of Agriculture and Commerce, Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications, and Minister of Internal Affairs, borrowed a train from Shimbashi Station to Nagoya Station. He invited Shimbashi geisha to the Hanayanagi world in Nagoya, where he danced.　At that time, Nagoya seemed to have been very active in both business and performing arts since the promotion of Owari weather in fighting with Yatsushiro Shogun Yoshimune. 

Unfortunately, the dance of Shimbashi Geisha at this time was not well-received in Nagoya, and told geisha, Nagoya, "When I heard from far away from Tokyo, I thought it would be pretty beautiful, but it was never big if I saw it nearby.　It was as if he was abused as "Gifu lantern" and was shameful and felt very frustrated.　When I dropped my shoulders and returned to Shimbashi, a heavyweight of the land started a year. We welcomed a first-class teacher called Soke Iemoto from all over the country.　It was said that the desire to practice and dance better led to the construction of Shimbashi Enbujo in 1925.

Finally, a wonderful dance was performed.　The dance is Nagauta "Hinazuru Sanbaso"

The cube (dance) was Kimiya, Hidechiyo, and the locals (performances such as shamisen) were Kinuko, Teruyo, Yurako, Akiko, and Fumie.　With a wonderful dance and permission, I will show you one piece. 

I'm looking forward to next year's "Dori East".　Click here for the report of this year's "East Odori". http://www.chuo-kanko.or.jp/blog/2011/05/87.html
