Are you in full bloom? Rose at Tsukiji River Shukubashi Park

[TAKK...] May 20, 2012 23:54

iwaihasi1.jpg There are several parks directly above the former Tsukiji River (now the Metropolitan Expressway).

 This time, I went to "Tsukiji River Shukubashi Park" where you can enjoy beautiful rose flowers.

 The current congratulatory bridge was bridged in 1962, and in 1992, Chuo-ku has been renovating the main pillars and balustrades to be bricked, which also serves as a landscape maintenance.

 If you go to Ginza from this bridge, you will find Matsuya Ginza, and if you head toward Tsukiji, you will find Tsukiji Honganji.

 In the park, 150 roses of 8 types are planted, and it seems to be in full bloom.

 I can't deny that it's a little unsatisfactory to visit this park itself, but I think you can really relax if you stop by strolling around Ginza and Tsukiji, commuting, or returning home.

 Also, if you live nearby, it would be very good as a walking course.

 It was a peaceful park where butterflies danced.

 

 

 

◆Local Tenmonkan special exhibition "Hundred Views of Tsukishima" is being held ~ May 19-7/1 ~

[Akira Makibuchi / Sharakusai] May 19, 2012 08:30

The 13th special exhibition "Hundred Views of Tsukishima"-120 years of Tsukuda, Tsukishima, Kachidoki, Harumi and Toyomi Mizumachi are being held at the Chuo Ward Folk Tenmonkan (Time Dome Akashi). The first Tsukishima site was completed in 1892 (1892), and this year was planned for 120 years. The exhibition will be closed on Monday from May 19th (Sat) to July 1st (Sun), and admission will be free at special exhibition.

 

0913_431_120518tsukisima_te.jpgThe exhibition hall is composed of four themes, and valuable inhabitant cultural properties are also displayed.

 

The first theme is the history of Ishikawajima and Tsukuda Island as a prehistory of Tsukishima. The beginning of the Tsukishima area was Ishikawajima, which was built in Yorisu in Edo Minato in the early Edo period. It is known for the fact that there was a place for people. It was Tsukuda Island that was built on the south side.

 

The second theme is the birth and development of Tsukishima, from which it is from the modern and Meiji eras. Tsukishima No. 1 was born 120 years ago in 1892 (1892). Shipbuilding companies flourish on Ishikawajima and develop into a major coastal factory area.

 

The third theme is economic growth and the town of Tsukishima. It was around the time when it began to attract attention as a waterfront close to the city center, such as the Tsukishima area after the war and the Harumi area of the emerging area.

 

The fourth theme is to touch on the religion and culture of the Tsukishima area. Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine on Tsukuda Island was the guardian angel of Tsukuda fishermen since the early Edo period. The Ryokan / Kaikaikan, which has excellent views, created literary works as a place for the creation of Meiji literary writers.

 

The 120th anniversary of the completion of Tsukishima has progressed with the progress of modern industry, and it has become today as a town for the common people. Looking back from the standing of Ishikawajima, it has a history of more than 400 years since the early Edo period. This exhibition gives an overview of the history, culture, and lifestyle of the Tsukishima area. ●Akira Makibuchi

 

◇Lectures and field tours linked to the special exhibition will be held.

May Shimbashi Enbujo-Mishima Kabuki-dori Kyogen "Tsubaki theory Yumiharitsuki" 

1. May 18, 2012 10:00

The evening of theater in May is "Tsubaki theory Yumiharitsuki" after a long time.

As you know, Yukio Mishima wrote a Kabuki script for the original work of Makoto, and at the premiere at the National Theater in 1969, it became a hot topic by directing himself. In Mishima's last Kabuki script, Tamasaburo was also selected as Shirasuhime at this time, and became famous at once. After that, it was performed only twice, and last time at the Kabukiza Theater in 2002, at this time, Sarunosuke fell ill one year later. This time, the role played by Somegoro, his grandfather's white parrot, and his father's Koshiro. Shichinosuke, who plays Shirasuhime, and two are a great struggle with the daytime part of Heisei Nakamuraza and a hanging appearance this month.


100_0568.JPGIt is a play of less than 4 hours through the volume of Kaminakashita, but large spectacles, crow tengu, wild boars, Hakuba, half-naked Mutota are blamed by the women at the order of Hakuseihime. I don't get tired of the feeling of Mishima preference anyway, such as the cruel scenes where huge boats and monster fish appear. Last time, Danjiro, who was on sale to Tamasaburo's white sewing princess, was thrilled to flow blood from the body where he was drunk (I don't have much taste). I remembered it just in case. You can't do an actor with extravagance. The firewood car this time seemed to be training quite a bit and there was no extravagant (envy!) 。 The "Wavemaku", which is very active in the ocean scene, was clearly seen in the front seat where the blood tide fluttered in the scene where Taro Takama committed suicide. It's amazing. "Oh!" with my neighbor.



The daytime section is "Saigo and Porkhime", "Autumn Leaves Hunting" and "Women's Armed Hell" and "Chiraku Aki on the 25th. Please take a look at the stage of the young Hanagata actor's great success following April.

"Manmaru-san" support for reconstruction of East Japan  

[Silver] May 17, 2012 08:30

Previously, at the East Japan Reconstruction Support Plaza in Ginza, we reported that volunteers are engaged in Tohoku support activities every weekend. The other day, my volunteer father I met introduced a wonderful activist. I'm Noriko Yoshida, a flower designer. This time, the photo was fixed, but my father introduced a fine activity and put it in the photo.

CIMG0438.jpg 

In order to support the reconstruction of East Japan, we are working to spread the dolls of "Manmaru-san" through your donations. In addition, I heard from my father that he was comforting not only the work of flower design but also the rehabilitation facility.

The story of Shinohashi, Hitosuke Bridge

[kimitaku] May 16, 2012 08:30

  SINNOOHASI.jpg
"The frost of the bridge that you step on," 

"On the first snow and over the bridge."


These two phrases were written by the poet Matsuo Basho.

That's the phrase I wrote.


This is because the joy of Shin-ohashi Bridge was made into a phrase. 


Shinohashi was rebuilt many times after the bridge was built in Genroku 6 (1692), and was built as an iron bridge in Meiji 45 (1912).

I'm sorry.

The name "Shinohashi" was given as a bridge following the other name of Ryogoku Bridge, "Ohashi". 

SINNOOHASI NI.jpg


It connects Hamacho in Chuo-ku and Morishita in Koto-ku, and has a total length of 170M and 24M.


On the way across the bridge 
The origin, the original bridge, Nishiki-e of Hiroshige Utagawa is a relief.
The gently flowing Sumida River matches the color of the bridge and is beautiful.
There are many people who stop their feet and write an inscription.   


The other name of this bridge is derived from the "help (help) bridge".

(There are many stories in the future, we will focus on "Walking in the ward, Vol. 6 Bosha Kawabata section")


 SINNOOHASI YURAI.jpg

 1923 September 1, 1923
  Tokyo was hit by an unprecedented shaking.



>>>"Many of the storehouses collapsed quickly, sand smoke was wrapped, and my eyes could not be opened. Immediately after, there was no noise and the state of silence continued. The people were anxious.

 The fire from the nearby warehouse quickly spread and rained the sparks. Although the fire was extinguished immediately, the fire from the Kanda area burned out Ningyocho.

 It seems that black water came in the river like a tsunami.


 At 8:00 pm when the fire was approaching, the Kayasha family came to Kakihamabashi and amazake Yokomachi burned more than half and was unable to move with a lot of luggage and cars.


 The Kayaya family broke the fence of Hosokawa's house, went out into the garden, but turned around the fire, and went out to Ohashi.

He desperately interrupted and sat in the middle of the bridge and spent all day and night.


 Those who were attacked by fire from both sides of the bridge rushed into the middle with death, and even the center was unbearable. It looks like a scream. They also stepped on deadly, and eventually the people beside them will not move.


 It seems that all the people at the side of the bridge were burnt down.
 The wind blowing was hot, the bridge swayed like a hammock, and the river seemed to have muddy streams. " <<< 


 Shin-ohashi Bridge was covered with iron floorboards, so it escaped disappearing. At that time, it was only one of the five Sumida River bridges.


 There is a "Shinohashi Evacuation Monument" on the right bank of Shinohashi, under the left bank just before crossing the bridge.

 It is a very large monument, and its origin is described in detail. It is noted that many people were helped and "helped" on this bridge, and the lessons learned.

SINNOOHASI INUYAMA.jpg 




A part of the former Shin-ohashi Bridge is located.

It is preserved in Meiji Village in Inuyama City, Aichi Prefecture.

A young woman heads to the monument

He was holding his hands deeply.


 

 

 

The spirit of Kibiki-cho ~ Teppozu Inari Shrine Reitaisai festival ~

[Apricot peony] May 16, 2012 08:30

ck1203_1205152.jpg
May 1-5 is Reitaisai festival of Teppozu Inari Shrine.


This shrine, which is known as "Tetsugansu-san" by the Ujikos, is a shrine with a very long history, called Gyoza 1172 this year.

Unfortunately, the weather was unfortunate on the 3rd and 4th in carrying of miniature shrines.
It was postponed for one year from last year, which was the main festival once every three years.
The children were full of energy for the long-awaited.happy01



The half-wearing of the festival's accessories has the names of each town council and various associations on the back, and it is smart, but did you know that there was a half-wearing called "Kibikicho" in it?sign02

ck1203_1205153.jpgIn fact, this "Kibiki-cho"
It's the name of the town that has disappeared now.bearing

As a place, we go a little east from Ginza Chuo-dori, start from Sanumabori, which has now been reclaimed, cross Showa-dori, and reach Tsukiji.
The current official place name is "Ginza", so magazines are sometimes referred to as "areas with a downtown atmosphere that can not be considered Ginza" or "Ura Ginza", but that should be the case, from the Edo period, It was "Ginza Higashi" in 1951, and "East" in 1969 to become "Ginza Town".

So even in the same "Ginza", this is the children of Tepposhu Inari Shrine, but the Ginza Chuo-dori is the shrine parishioner of Hie-jinja Shrine.


Originally, it is said that the name of "Kinbiki-cho" was derived from the place where many wood grinders lived during the renovation of Edo Castle, and it was the place where one of Edo Sanza "Morita-za" was located. It is a venerable town name that has a very connection to the play, where there is a Kabukiza.
ck1203_1205151.jpg

For this reason, it was this half-wearing that the town council of Sanchome made to take care of the history of "Kinbiki-cho".

At first it was said that it was red husk, but now it is quite stylish that it looks like "persimmon-color", which is closely related to Kabuki as the season begins.


I couldn't do it because it was under construction this year, but one of the highlights of the festival is the imperial procession of each portable shrine in front of Kabukiza.
In particular, Miyamoto's portable shrine is splendid, beautiful in shape, and has a personality, so when you can see him heading toward Kabukiza from Miharabashi, rudely speak to the thousand actors from across the country, "Miyamoto!" I want to scream.
At the next festival, a new Kabukiza Theater should have been completed, so you will surely see a magnificent figure.
The half coat of "Kibikicho" will also be very useful.
I'm really looking forward to it!
