On New Year's Day, the Seven Lucky Gods Tour in Nihonbashi

[Apricot peony] December 31, 2012 09:00

"Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods Tour" has become an annual event.
This is the 28th time in 2013.

ck1203_1212261.jpg


Until now, I have visited each of them in Betara City, prayers for safe delivery, town walking tours in Chuo-ku, etc., but I never had Seven Lucky Gods at once, so I would like to participate this time.


If you enjoy the bustle of the New Year's Day in Ningyocho, you will be able to get it at once!
No, not only that, but also walking for about 1 hour and 30 minutes, so it may be effective (a little) for dieting?


From 10:30 am on January 4th, participation will be accepted on the 1st floor of the main building of Mitsukoshi Nihonbashi Main Store (Muromachiguchi), so why not join us?


By the way, it is the "Seven Lucky Gods" that goes around the eight shrines because both Hoda Ebisu Shrine and Sugimori Shrine are Ebisu God.
I think it would be more fun if you look around while looking at the auspiciousness and origin of each shrine.


Reception is until 2:00 p.m.
It will be canceled in case of rain.

 

 

 

Time slip in the Edo period at Nihonbashi Ningyocho Sako Luo (Sakura)

[kimitaku] December 30, 2012 09:00

   Get off at Ningyocho Station on the Hibiya Line in the direction of Kodemmacho, proceed at the intersection toward Kanda, and turn left at the second intersection.

 If you go shortly, you will find Nihonbashi Elementary School and Nihonbashi Library on your right.

 This place was Saigo Takamori's residence in the Meiji era, and Ginza of the Shogunate was located around the Edo era.

 

Behind the elementary school, there is a kimono shop "Sako Luo" on the first floor of the left building.


sakurajyosei.jpg The elegant shop was run by a couple, and both of them were dressed in kimono.


 It has been several decades since it opened here in Ningyocho. The atmosphere is as it is, a time slip in the Edo period.

 In the shop, many cloths are displayed neatly and you want to pick them up.

・・・ I asked my husband in detail about kimono.


kiji.jpgWhat is a tailoring?

First, measure the dimensions of the customer's body. I measure it with a measure called whale shaku.

Dimensions are as large as men. Increase the dimensions by 3 minutes and add 5 parts to measure the dimensions.

In the past, many people were used as everyday clothes and shortened to make it easier to move. It is said that this is the main thing.

There is also a customer's preference, but the kimono varies greatly depending on each dress.

It seems that the length is different depending on how you take it.

Even under the coherence or when it comes to collapse, if the collar comes out and pulls it, it's easy to fix it.

I hear you have some promises to go to a kimono. If you keep it, you will be able to wear it beautifully and comfortably.


: : : Also, the wonderful thing about kimono is that if you unravel all the kimono threads, it will completely return to the original cloth.

It seems that it can be said to be the essence of ecology today. : : :

 

<Notes> Antimonos: : It is a fabric that tailors one kimono, its unit.  Whale Shaku: : A unit for measuring objects, one shaku is a 5-minute (about 38 cm) of a curved shaku, originally a measure made of whale beards.  Covenant: : The lower part of the collar

 

For more information, please see the homepage of "Sako Luo" (basic knowledge until tailoring).

It's really kind enough to explain.  Beginner, a must-see for researchers.

 

sakurasyujinn.jpg When I asked my husband about the kimono situation, it is said that the number of kimono creators has now decreased.

 Now, I can't eat it in kimono making, and in Kyoto where I recently visited, some people are taxi drivers.

 He was a skillful traditional craftsman of Nishijin.

 The master said that there were almost no spelling craftsmen or old traditional heirs, and that it was deplorable.

 There is also a traditional craft that makes a cut on each finger's claw, passes it through it, and weaves it. It seems that the tradition from Nara period is now gone like a light of fire.

At the kimono shop "Sako Luo"

It is said that a "Kimono Training Class" is being held. 
It is also said that "Introductory Course for Kimono Study" is also being held.


 If you want to know more about kimono, please come and visit us.

 It seems that kimonos offer special products that are a bit different from other stores.


 My husband said that he would like to visit us at any time, and that he would like to share this wonderful kimono culture to as many customers as possible.

From Chuo-ku, Oishi built-in assistants

[Yotaro] December 29, 2012 09:00


 "I eat rice with a lawyer in winter and a ghost in summer." December is said to be at the time of writing by a lecturer, but Yoshiko Ako entered the Honjo Kira House and raised the head of Kira Uenosuke in 1702. It is before dawn of December 15, 1703 (January 31, 1703).


 Historic sites related to the defeat of Gishi in Chuo-ku include the ruins of the Asano Family Kamiyashiki (Akashicho), President Hiroshi Asano Hiro residence (Ginza 4), Shinroku Hazama Tomb (Tsukiji Honganji), Yasushi Horibe Monument (Hachichobori 1), etc. It is not a historic site, but it is from Honsho to Sengakuji Temple. In addition, it is said that there were three hiding destinations in the ward in the mansion (Higashibashi 2), Ishimachi 3-chome, Minami Hatchobori, etc. after the blade wound incident of Yahee Horibe and Yasubei.


 It was Koyamaya Yahee back store on the south side of Ishimachi 3-chome that the Oishi built-in assistant and the main tax hiding until the defeat. Koyamaya is a so-called public inn used by those who visit Edo for lawsuits, and it is quite prosperous, and such places will not be noticeable. Entered Edo in September before the Oishi chief tax was debated, stayed in Koyamaya under the name of Sauchi Kakimi, who came to the public lawsuit, and built-in assistant joined in November as his uncle Gorobei Kakimi. In addition, several ronins, including Touchi Onodera, gather here, and Koyamaya becomes the center of preparation for the defeat.


 Speaking of Ishimachi 3-chome, "Time Bell" and "Nagasakiya" at the time of Capitan Edo Sanfu in the Netherlands are famous, but Koyamaya is also said to have been partially used as Dutch dormitory. It's fun to imagine those who say, "Is this the place where Oishi lived?"


 By the way, where was Koyamaya at Ishimachi 3-chome? According to the book of the book, "It was in the current 4-1 Nihonbashi Honmachi", "It was in a place connecting the eaves with Nagasakiya (4-4 Nihonbashi Muromachi)", "Kokumachi right opposite Koyamaya There was a bell, "(Tempura no) Tenshi Shigeru's place (4-1-3 Nihonbashi Honmachi) ... " All of these are on the north side of Kokumachi Street (now Edo-dori St.). (Ishimachi 3-chome is a so-called two-sided town, and is made on both north and south sides across the street. According to the current lot number, the north side is 4-4 Nihonbashi Muromachi and 4-1 Nihonbashi Honmachi, and the south side is Nihonbashi Muromachi 3-4 and Nihonbashi Honmachi 3-3. ) However, one of the forty-seven men, Kichiemon Terasaka's memorandum "Terasaka Myki" states "Ishimachi 3-chome south or Koyamaya Yahee back store", so amateurs think that it would be natural to say that it was on the south side I'm thinking. I would appreciate it if you could give me a detailed explanation.


 Oishi and others who headed from Koyamaya to Honjo Kira's residence finally get their true spirits. It seems that the cold weather was particularly severe at the end of this year. Oishi is said to be cold, but it will have reached a new year with a full and full feeling.

Yokoyamacho and Bakurocho wholesale district

[Mido] December 28, 2012 09:00

I don't think any further explanation is needed now, but Nihonbashi Yokoyama-cho and Bakurocho are Japan.
It's the biggest cash wholesale district. It is surrounded by Edo-dori St., Kiyosubashi-dori and Yasukuni Dori.
The triangular zone is always crowded with shoppers.
In particular, I say "nothing is not" for clothing, textiles, and clothing.
I think it's going to be.

According to historical literature, there were 19 wholesalers in 1792.
After that, in 1827, it became 62 houses and developed as a wholesale district.
I think it was.
Yokoyamacho has been a wholesale district since the Edo period, but Bakurocho was a town of inn at that time.
To stay in Bakurocho and carefully select items in the wholesale district of Yokoyamacho.
It seems that it was a good idea.

Because it is a wholesale district, sometimes "I refuse amateurs" and "I do not retail"
I see the posters I wrote at the entrance, but at most shops, I also sell them to individuals.
I'll give you it. The price is surprisingly low, for example,
・3 ties 1050 yen
・4 socks 525 yen
・Leather belt 300 yen
・Sweater 680 yen
・All items in the store 400 yen

It's not only cheap, but also good things and good for the common people.
It's a wholesale district. If you're looking for clothing, textiles, or clothing, you'll definitely want to do it.
I think it's a spot I want to stop by.

New Year's pine decorations, shime decorations night Ningyocho street

[Mumin] December 27, 2012 13:00

 When I was walking around Ningyocho-dori for a walk near 8 o'clock in the evening, most New Year's decorations stalls closed the shop, but the shop in front of this half was working hard to open the shop while the trees were dying.
I talked a little bit with my uncle in the shop. 
 
 This shop has been renting this place for 40 years from December 25th to 30th at the end of the year, and his uncle is the second generation and works differently except for this period. This year's trade is said to be bobby at the moment. The customer is both the company and the family.
 
 Most of the shops that decorate New Year's decorations on Ningyocho Street come from Kanto, and many from the 23 wards of Tokyo. I left the place in hope of the fortune and the prosperity of my uncle's shop next year.

 On December 20, 2012 (Thursday), a "Christmas song" was performed by the St. Luke's College of Nursing Choir and the sign language club from 12:00. She expressed her feelings in familiar sign language, and was impressed by her singing in a clear voice. (The resolution has been reduced to protect portrait rights.)
