Ginza Chuo-dori, early morning line

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] March 21, 2012 08:30

When I say "tablet", I think that "tablets" still come up, are late for the times.shock

 

March 16 is the release date of the new "(not a tablet) tablet", and Ginza Chuo-dori is in such a state. Even in mid-March, the time is just aftersun 7 o'clock, and the morning air is still cool.

Just signalerat the intersection of Ginza Chuo-dori and Matsuya-dori, I just looked at the opposite side of Chuo-dori from the sidewalk on the Matsuya side. The procession naturally begins with the appleapple building in the photo on the left. A large number of press members also gathered. I took a picture on my way to work in the morning.camera

 

By the way, a tablet PC is a portable personal computer that has a flat-shaped outer shape and has a display / input part such as a touch panel type.flair

 

There is a feeling that it became a feature of Ginza early morning.happy01

[Yurikamome] March 21, 2012 08:30

 The graduation ceremony of Chuo Kumin College in 2011 was held on Saturday, March 17 from 2:00 pm to 4:30 pm in the 4th floor hall of the Tsukishima Social Education Center. .

This year's graduates and a large number of current students who send them participated. 

There were greetings from the president of this college (Mayor Yada), the chairman of the education committee, the words of the lecturer representative, and the words of the graduate representative.

He described the joy of learning regardless of age at this opportunity, and the joy of having many friends through this.

In the second part, the attraction "Kuchibue Concert" was performed.

 Kimiko Wakiyama, who won the overall championship in the adult women's section of the "International Flute Tournament" held in the United States in 2007, the transparent whistle and the exquisite accompaniment of guitarist Kimihiko Matsumiya Everyone fell in love with.

From a very peaceful atmosphere, such as a whistle conversation between Dr. Wakeyama on the stage and current students at the venue who attended "Let's blow Kuchibue" at the inhabitant of a ward college, this college is not just a sale of knowledge It turned out that teachers, students, and students know each other and learn and have a bond of "good learning" in the future.

"Here and There - Tomorrow's Island" Taku Arai Photo Exhibition

[The cat on the slope] March 17, 2012 08:30

This month is just one year from Great East Japan Earthquake. Various projects and activities are being carried out in various places.
Today, I went to one of them, a series of exhibitions called "Remembrance 3.11" held at Nikon Salon in Ginza. In Remembrance 3.11, from February 24 to March 26, we are supporting reconstruction with the power of photography through the works of eight photographers, special exhibition and five symposiums.

From March 14th to 20th, Taku Arai's photo exhibition "Here and There: Tomorrow's Island" Since last year, Arai has visited Fukushima and its surroundings many times and photographed one by one.

The daguerreotype is the world's first practical photography technology that began in the first half of the 19th century. It is said that a silver plate polished on a complete mirror surface is photographed directly in a camera and developed with mercury vapor. (From the article by Mr. Arai himself published in the March 21 issue of Newsweek Japan.)

 

The island of tomorrow. jpgWhen you enter the venue and stand in front of the work, you can appreciate each and every work with the lights. The expressions of people and animals staring at this, appearing in the illuminated venue. Some backgrounds of the work were very wide and empty. Before the earthquake, there must have been various buildings and landscapes here.

The characteristics of the daguerreotype are that they cannot be replicated and that the left and right sides of the image are inverted. We are beings that no one can replicate. And the image of the left and right reversal that we usually see is myself in the mirror. Arai's work is also a mirror that conveys the hearts of the viewer.


Here and There - Tomorrow's Island Taku Arai Photo Exhibition
Venue: Ginza Nikon Salon (in Nikon Plaza Ginza 7-10-1 Ginza, Chuo-ku)
Period: From 10:30 to 18:30 until March 20 (until 15:00 on the last day)

 

 

Pharmaceutical shops in the former Nihonbashi area

[North Yujin] March 16, 2012 08:30

 I went to Asakusabashi to look for the explanation board of Asakusa Gomon. (On the Edo map, south of the Kanda River)

There is an explanation board next to the police box of "Gundai Yashiki Ruins", but there is nothing like that.

On the Taito Ward side across the bridge, there is a monument to the site of Asakusa Mitsuke, and there is an explanation board of the old Asakusabashi as a guide to the old town name.


 Edo shogunate built towers, gates and bridges at important points of major traffic routes to guard Edo Castle.

 This place where the Oshu Kaido passes is the road to Asakusa Kannon, so the gate built.

 It was called Asakusa Gomon.

 It was also called Asakusa Mitsuke because of the placement of a guard.

 It was in 1636 (1636) that a bridge was first built on the Kanda River.

 Because it was in front of Asakusa Gomon, it was called Asakusa Gomonbashi, but one day it became Asakusabashi.

(Taito Ward)

 

 Returning to the Chuo-ku side while looking at the Kanda River, the area on the left side of the street corresponds to Higashi Nihonbashi 2-chome and the former Nihonbashi Ryogoku. Looking at the side, there is a post office that only Ryogokubashi remains the place names of both countries.
The name is also "Ryogoku Post Office". The names of both countries remained.

 If you look forward to crossing Yasukuni Dori, you will see a fine building.

When you cross the street, you can see some nostalgic signs.

There is a signboard like this in front of the shop.

When I asked the owner of the shop, Tamaki Pharmacy was founded in 1905. When asked about "Belz water", he said that it was taken from the name of a teacher who came to the University of Tokyo from Germany.

If you look into it, it looks like Prof.Dr.Erwin von Baeltz MD PhD.


 German doctor Berz came to Japan at the invitation of the government in 1876 and taught physiology, pathology, internal science, obstetrics and gynecology for 26 years at Tokyo Medical School, the predecessor of the University of Tokyo School of Medicine, and made a great contribution to Japanese medicine.


 "Belzsui" was originally prescribed in 1883 while staying at the Hakone Fujiya Hotel, seeing the hands of the women being rough.

He was also the one who introduced Kusatsu Onsen to the world.

 I was invited by the so-called Meiji New Government to teach advanced learning and technology to Japan.

Married to Japanese Hanako Arai, and has been awarded the First Order of Zuiho and the Order of the Ribbon of Asahi Japan for his achievements.

The doctor's memorial monument is located on the campus of the University of Tokyo, on the library, and on the riverbank west of Kusatsu Onsen.

 In addition, he is the nominator of "Mongolian spot" found in Japanese.

 Heinrich von Siebold was also a good friend of Heinrich.

 

 The store also requires velz water, honey, general chemicals, cigarettes and drinks by size.

 Inside the store, there are two stairs in the center on both sides, and there seems to be a fine dispensing room in the back.

 I don't like the camera, so I shot the outside.

The arched design is nice, isn't it?

kyuu ryougoku 018.JPG

The black and dirty wall is the trace of incendiary bombs caused by air raids.

 It is a precious building that preserves the Meiji era. 

 Speaking of which, a resident of Seattle told me that there was a gold sign in your house at an antique shop in Vancouver.

That's right. A long-established story has a different scale, isn't it?

Ginza set of Kamaage Spaghetti Supajiro

[Mapo ★] March 15, 2012 08:30

It is a shop that I found around Ginza 2-chome to 3-chome.
The name was interesting and impressive!


However, when you look at the homepage, the amount is large.
It may be a shop where women don't get along with Anri options.

 

S (100g) M (120g) L (170g) can be selected in three sizes, the price is the same.
I tried to make it M size, but it was quite large (^^;

I'm glad that there are so many kinds of pasta.


If you make a Ginza set of 300 yen plus, salad and drink will be added.
I chose two kinds of dressings and made it mustard, but this is delicious.★
Juice is red orange juice♪
It seems that the jirou set also has the best pudding.

 

 

 

 

I chose a Japanese-style spa with bacon and spinach (950 yen)
The right is the mentaiko spa (1280 yen)

The taste is light Japanese style and delicious!

 

 

 


I'd like you to put a lot of spinach because the amount can be a little smaller.
Well, I wonder if there is no help considering the recent soaring vegetable prices (laughs).
It seems that a man who likes noodles will be pleased.

 

In general, it is a shop for young people, and there are many customers between couples and men.
When I finished eating, there was a line outside.

The main store is Ebisu. And there are also in Roppongi, Akasaka and Nakameguro.
