See Katsushika Hokusai

It is located on the seventh floor of Mitsui Main Building, commonly known as Mitsui Tower, 2-1-1 Nihonbashi Muromachi, Chuo-ku.

It is designated as an Important Cultural Property

It is shame that there is no permanent exhibition of the Mitsui family when I called to see the treasure of the 300-year-old Mitsui family that has continued since the Edo period next to the head office of the Mitsui Trust Bank.

Today, the 250th anniversary of Katsushika Hokusai's birth is on display from the Honolulu Museum of Art in the United States.

It is divided into the first half to the second half, and the above is completed by the time this article is published.

The second half starts on May 15th (Tuesday). If you are interested, it is definitely worth a look. I've seen it at the Edo Tokyo Museum in Sumida-ku before, but this time the amount is overwhelming It was only the first half.

By the way, the tiquette common to the four buildings around Tokyo Station is sold for 3,000 yen. The Mitsui Memorial Museum, the Bridgestone Museum, the Mitsubishi No. 1 Museum, and the Idemitsu Museum of Arts. Mitsubishi and Idemitsu are not Chuo-ku.

After visiting the Mitsui Memorial Museum, you can shop at the Muromachi Cored on the opposite side.

It's good to have a meal. It's good to eat here.

 

 

 

 

 

Nichirei Higashiginza Building is located at Tsukiji 6-chome west of Kachidokibashi.　

Every time I passed, I was wondering what this monument would be.　

 

I happened to ask Mr. Arakawa, who was doing maintenance work.

This is a work called "Scallop and Seed Square" designed by an artist named Bukichi Inoue, who designed "Sea and Life". I've seen a monument designed like the moon on the left of the cherry tree at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Office. Indeed, I thought that the sensibility of silver, which I thought was like an ammonite, was not wrong.　

 

In addition, the monument of the sphere of Hatoba Park seems to have been produced in the series "my sky hole". You can see it in parks all over the country.

The walk on the Sumida River Terrace will be fun.

 

 

 

Around this time after Golden Week, the sharpness of work began to return to the state before the consecutive holidays.

As usual, I feel that it was too fast only during the holidays.

 

The sun was hiding in May, but on May 5, the Kanto region was fine after a long absence.

Well, let's go to Ginza with my wife.

Many events were held in the Ginza area during the consecutive holidays.

The Ginza Yanagi Festival was held around Nishi-Ginza Dori.

The goal of the Ginza Golden Parade is to separate the hedges.

Participating organizations will perform attractive marching performances, led by the brass band of the Metropolitan Police Department.

When the equestrian policeman and Kitty-chan Peko passed on a rickshaw, applause occurred.

 

Each brass band also selects songs suitable for the festival and excites the mood.

A powerful brass made of large formation.

A parade while changing the formation.

Musical instruments, costumes, and flags reflect the light of the sun and sparkle.

 

"Every child has a good style."

Aunt, who was pushing the shutter in front of the tweet, was in a moment.

"My relatives are out. Button wanted to do it, so I entered that school."

"Is that right? Everyone is so cute."

In a lively atmosphere, conversations can be created with people who meet for the first time.

 

Nishi-Ginza Street from Ginza 1-chome to 8-chome becomes a pedestrian paradise only once a year.

Last year it was canceled due to Great East Japan Earthquake.

This year, the theme was "Tomorrow" for reconstruction support.

 

After a little late lunch, we walked around the event venue.

At one of the venues, the performance of Yahata Taiko in Kesennuma, Miyagi Prefecture was performed.

"Oh, wadaiko?"

In the next moment, I was nailed.

It's a team composed only of children.

However, the sound that sounded was powerful that fell into my belly.

Several kinds of wadaiko and flute.

A bee that is pulled out from a fast-grown hand.

A full of energy.

If you think of the days you have practiced so far in your inconvenience, your eyes will be blurred.

 

The couple enjoyed the Ginza willow Festival while casually using handkerchiefs.

 

 

 

It is the cherry blossoms as of 16:00 on April 7 of the cherry blossom viewing season.　It's a bit cold today. A group of cherry blossom visitors can be found here and there.　There is also a group of stoves.　Is this warm? For hot sake?　There were many groups who brought lunch boxes and sake.　It was just right with a down coat. There were quite a lot of visitors. Some people took a walk and passed by. There are many types of ships on the waterside line in the Sumida River. Everything is full. There were many houseboats with lanterns.

If it gets warmer, it will be in full bloom!

　Today, when I went near Harumi Wharf, a fire boat was releasing clean water.

　There were many fire departments, and when I thought what kind of event would be, I was rehearsaling for the "Water Fire Fighting Pageant" to be held on May 13 (Sun).

　I've seen it for a while, but I heard the explosion, the helicopter flew, and I was overwhelmed by the power that I couldn't think of a rehearsal.

　This is worth a look!

　On the day, the performance of fire and rescue of ships, the march of fire boats and fire helicopters (navigation?) In addition, the children of the Fire Boy Scouts and the members of the Tokyo Fire Department Music Band also come, and it seems to be a very fun event.

At Harumi Wharf, the Tokyo Minato Festival is also held on May 12 and 13, and there are various boats (tours) besides fire boats and various corners, so this is also I think you can enjoy it.

　I'm looking forward to the weekend!

There are many new spots in Nihonbashi, including the long-established Mitsukoshi Main Store, COREDO Muromachi, Mitsui Tower, and YUITO, and I think many people go shopping, dining, museums, theater performances, etc.

For such people

As a place to enjoy tea during a break.

Enter the alley opposite Mitsukoshi.

A coffee shop
Coffee
Of course, it's delicious.
Mocha software is famous.

The first floor is a stand.
The 2nd and 3rd floors are table seats.
You can also take it out.

The photo shows coffee float () and Mocha jelly ().

The soft ice cream on the top is mocha, it is not confusing, and the bittersweetness and smoothness are exquisite.

This is especially recommended for the coming season.
