Today, the day after the fierce spring storm that was not a typhoon ran through, it was a clear sunny day for cherry blossom viewing. In April, theater performed the ninth stage last month, so it was "Kanamon Chushingura" day and night with half the second stage and the tenth stage, which are rarely performed. At present, Danjuro, Koshiro, Yoshiemon and Nizaemon are showing mature art as Yuranosuke actors, but this time Yuranosuke-Somegoro, Judge-Kikunosuke, Shina Nao-Matsu Midori Kanpei-Kamejiro and popular young actors who will be in the next generation of Kabuki are sold.

The daytime section is "Large", "Third tier", "Four tier" [Roading]. Before the opening of the "Ojo", a doll on the mouth introduces the cast to Hyokin, and when the formal curtain opens slowly, the performers raise their faces as if breathed with the voice of Gitayu. When you become a human from a doll, you know that it was originally puppet ballad drama. Kikunosuke's judge and Somegoro's Yuranosuke, respectively, are one of the protagonists of his father and grandfather. In this way, Kabuki reminds me that it has continued.

On the fourth day, there are many first roles and it feels a little hard, but in a great performance, Mr. Somegoro says in an interview, "I hope it will be a month where you can see progress and growth every day." But it is a fresh impression.

If you watch day and night and buy a plot, you can apply for a lottery where you can win a travel ticket to Akaho. If you look at the night part, you have to apply. (Do not throw away stubs)

The shop sold "middle stomach" (1,100 yen for 5 children) and "Yokan" (200 yen per bottle) in line with "Chushingura". Today's intermission we had a sandwich and coffee lunch (1150 yen) at the cafe "Eli Hana" right across theater. You can make a reservation for the intermission, and TAKE OUT is also OK. It's easy to have a bite-sized sandwich, and it doesn't get sleepy because it's not too heavy! There is also an advantage.

Ten years later, you may be proud that you took the "flower shape" from this cast and saw it when you first played it.

The night section is the performances of "5th Dan", "6th Dan", "Nanatsudan", and "11th Dan".

 In April, the number of ducks, which are representative of winter birds, has decreased significantly.

As you stroll along the riverside of the Sumida River, the number of black-headed gulls is increasing.

Urica plums breed in the northern part of Eurasian Continent, come in autumn and winter. It is said to be a winter bird that travels to the northern country again in spring.

Winter feathers, which are often seen, have dark spots behind the eyes of the white head, and summer feathers have a clear white ring around the eyes on the head like a black hood.

It is characterized by a red beak, legs, and adorable face.

It is floating on the surface of the water in the sunlight, or sleeping on a balustrade or fence ...

Goodbye to the sight of peace.

When the cherry blossoms bloom, they begin to grow in summer feathers, and finally prepare for their departure.

Have a long trip!

I came to Toyomi Wharf to see the spring sea warmer and warmer. The buds of the Okanzakura are swelling, and spring is coming rushing.

At the tip of the pier, there was a Kaiomaru anchored.

I always anchored in Harumi, but unlike Harumi, there was no fence, I went to the right side of the ship and watched it.

 　The bow emblem was a mermaid ... I was exposed to the spring sunshine and glowed golden.

She is a large training boat at the Ministry of Transport Voyage Training Center. He may have transported the seven seas and returned to Japan for the first time in a long time. 。 。 。 。

　From the end of March to the beginning of April, because of a year change?　A lot of training boats were returning to the pier in Chuo-ku.

　There are two other boats along the Asashio Canal at the Toyomi Wharf.

　At Harumi Wharf, two boats were moored with Teruyo Maru and Marine Maru.
Looking from observation deck, it looked like a newlywed couple.　

　The cherry blossoms are in full bloom soon.

Everyone, it may be fun to come to the pier in Chuo-ku now, look at the ship, dream of a distant, foreign voyage.

 

　　

 

 

 

The flowering of cherry blossoms is delayed this year.

Thanks to that, I can see plums late.

You can see a small temple in a corner of Nihonbashihamacho Park.

This is a separate temple of Kumamoto Honmyoji, which was founded in 1861 by Hosokawa Saigo from Nichiren sect Honmyoji in Kumamoto in 1861 in this area, which was the lower residence of the Hosokawa Domain during the Edo period.

Of course, what is enshrined is the Duke of Kato Kiyomasa.

Kato Kiyomasa was a master and respected by everyone, so Tadatoshi Hosokawa, who was sealed after Tadahiro Nidai was remodeled, seems to have taken great care. It is said that this has gained the trust of the people.

The current Dou was rebuilt in 1959 (1959).

　It's from the street next to Hamacho Park.

 

　Camellia and plums are competing.

 

　I'll go to the front.

　This is the whole view.

　The white plum on the right is also in full bloom.

 

　One more one on the way home.

 

There is Kato Shrine in Kumamoto Castle, but Shiba Shirokane's "Kakurinji" is famous in Tokyo.

This is said to have been founded in the Nakayashiki of the Kumamoto Domain by Ninobujo in 1631 (1631).

Mr. Kiyomasa is widely seen all over Japan.

 

 

The annual Tsukiji Honganji Flower Festival will be held on Sunday, April 8 this year.

The Flower Festival is a celebration of the birth of Historical Buddha. When you enter the temple territory, let's bow toward the main hall.　And let's enjoy the festival a lot.

A lot of events seem to be fun.

 

 

The south wind is strong, but it's finally springing.

On the streets of Ginza, the street trees planted on each street will inform you of the changing seasons, but the buds of Linden here at Namiki-dori St. also make you feel the coming of spring.

During this season, while walking along Namiki-dori St., window shopping at the famous brand shop, and if you get tired, why not take a break at the Linz cafe near the corner of Hanatsubaki Street?

Linz is famous for its Swiss-born chocolate, but in Japan there are Linz Chocolat Cafes in Ginza and Omotesando.

The royal road here, the chocolate cake is rich in dark chocolate, the toppings crushed cacao texture is pleasant, and the ice chocolate drink (dark) is also a best match for bitterness and smoothness.
