I saw the 67th Spring House Exhibition held at Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store until April 9, and then had a cherry blossom viewing near Nihonbashi.
"Spring House Exhibition": In November 1945, the "Nippon Art Academy Small Product Exhibition" was held at Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store, and in 1970 it was renamed the "Spring House Exhibition" and has continued to this day. (Excerpted from Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store HP "Spring-in Exhibition")
The number of entries this time was 870, of which 314 were selected. The number of exhibitions is 346, including works by the same person. It was wonderful.
I'm interested in Japanese painting, and it's just a cherry blossom season, and I see it every year along with the cherry blossom viewing around Nihonbashi. (I'm grateful that admission is free.)
The cherry blossom viewing is "Okamezakura" near Mitsukoshi. But it was only leaves, so I missed the time.
According to a police officer, the cherry blossoms in Nihonbashi were "weeping cherry tree" in front of the police box. It was a cherry tree today. But the next "Yoshino cherry tree" is in full bloom. Many people were taking pictures.
The cherry blossoms on Sakura-dori St. next to Maruzen are also in full bloom. There was also a stall in the square in front of the Plaza Building. A blue sheet was laid in a good place, and the place was taken.
It was a bit chilly, but it was a pleasant and nice cherry blossom viewing. I wonder if it will scatter next week. 。 。
