Silver bra

[Nathaly] April 30, 2013 09:00

"Silver?" It's a word that anyone can now understand, but it's only recently that I knew that the etymology of silver bra is "drinking Brazilian coffee in Ginza". 。

According to my research, drinking Brazilian coffee at Cafe Paulista, the oldest coffee shop in Japan that still exists in Ginza 8-chome, seems to have triggered me to say "silver Bra" ... I actually went there!

The coffee shop is located along Chuo-dori and you can find it right away. It's Ginza 8-chome, near Shimbashi. There was advance information about the oldest existing coffee shop in Japan, so I thought it was a very old and hard to enter, but there is a large round signboard and you can see the inside from outside. There was only Ginza, so I waited a little because it was full. While waiting, I was observing the inside of the store, and there were photos of John Lennon and Yoko Ono. I heard you went to a coffee shop here. After a while, I was taken to a vacant seat. Then, the clerk told me in a shout, "Actually, this is the seat where John Lennon sat," and I was a little excited!

The fully booked coffee shop in Ginza was a calm and calm coffee shop with an atmosphere where you could hear John Lennon's music when you listen while drinking Brazilian coffee, despite some liveliness.

When I made my account on the way home, I got a silver bra certificate.

"You prove today that you enjoyed the silver bra (walking along Ginza Street and going only to Café Paulista for Brazilian coffee)."

I'm glad if you can prove a silver bra (laughs) Also, the back side is a stamp card (laughs).
It's a drink full service with 10 points. When I went to Ginza, I would like to go only for Brazilian coffee again. Everyone, please do a silver bra!

It is a treasure of "the national treasure of the manga world".  

 

At the talk show by Mr. Kitahara on the first day, he said, "The next generation by collecting them."

I think it's my mission to convey culture to me. "

 On a chilly spring day, we explored naval-related facilities around Tsukiji Market.

    The process is as follows. This time, I would like to show you the details.

      The birthplace of the Navy: The main pillar of Kaiyuki Bridge: Namishi Inari Shrine: The site of a warship training center

      ・・・ Ruins of Tsukiji Hotel Building: Monument of Naval Accounting School: Museum of Kachidokibashi

      ・・・ Kachidokibashi ・ ・ Tsukiji Outer Market ・ ・ ・ Naval Military Dormitory ・ ・ ・ Naval Medical School Remains

Saah, departure!   Behaved and lined up in a line, inside the Tsukiji hall      March!

I went to a shop famous for shellfish at the market.

It was a large number of people, so I made a reservation.

Everyone was a double circle shop. The wolf is a good woman.

Also, there were many people who wanted to go.

The yakisoba of this shop was delicious!

This is information from a certain teahouse shop.

 

 There was this shrine near the sushi restaurant I went to.

On the right side of the shrine, there was a copper plate painting of Yuonen built by Sadanobu Matsudaira.

 It was hard to see because there was a garbage with a fence next to the toilet.

In addition, there is a “Hagiyama” stone monument in the shrine, which was established by the Ministry of Navy at that time (established in 1872).

I was chasing the image.

 

 

 

AIAC International Architectural Design Studio 2013

[Taro] April 27, 2013 09:00

 AIAC is a joint class program for architectural design exercises in collaboration with international universities.

This year's theme is "Creating a Sustainable Living and Architecture in Nihonbashi Muromachi", and eight universities from five countries, Italy, France, China, Korea, and Japan, participated in the announcement at the UNESCO Headquarters in Paris in September.

 For four days from April 11 to 14, approximately 100 students from Japan and overseas held a workshop at Nihonbashi Muromachi 1-chome, which was the target site.

 

 In addition to the basic survey that had been conducted before coming to Japan, we also conducted field surveys and interviews with local people in Muromachi, and on April 15, a symposium was held at Nihonbashi Mitsui Hall, where local people also participated.

 Prior to lectures by professors from four universities, including Keio University, the host school this year, students presented the results of each university, and lively discussions were held at the venue.


 After having deepened their understanding of the historical nature of Nihonbashi through preliminary research, each university actually visited the site and was different from the Japanese, including the way bridges, rivers, and highways? It was impressive that the view was also shown.

 

 In the future, students will return to each university, proceed with the examination and design work, and make presentations in Paris in September, and will be awarded excellent works. An exhibition of his works is scheduled to be held at Keio University in January next year, and a new appearance of Nihonbashi Muromachi drawn by students studying architecture around the world will be shown.
