April 13 is "Shintomi" Day

[Apricot peony] April 11, 2014 17:45

"Shintomi" is sandwiched between Tsukiji and Ginza.

In the past, "town" was attached to "Shintomicho".

The origin of the name is that it was given to Otomicho on the west side in 1871, and the "rich" of Shin-Shimabara's "new" and "Otomicho" were combined into "Shintomicho". There are two theories.

 

Speaking of Shin-Shimabara, at the beginning of the Meiji era, I guessed that a foreign settlement was created in Akashicho, just next to it, and eventually ended in a short period of time.

In such a relationship, Shintomi-cho had the Hanayanagi world until relatively recently, and at the time of the festival, "Shintomi-cho Geisha" was showing a glossy appearance.

 

And what should not be forgotten is Shintomiza.

Morita-za, one of Edo Sanza, moved from Saruwaka-cho to the current tax office in 1872, and was renamed Shintomi-za in 1875.

It became Japan's leading theater as a social venue for Civilization and enlightenment, but unfortunately it was burned down in the Great Kanto Earthquake.

It happened that there was a program from the Taisho era in my home, but a famous actor appeared, reminiscent of the situation at that time.

At present, Shintomi-za Children's Kabuki, which began to convey the tradition of such a "play town" to the present, has earned a reputation.

Such Shintomi-cho is often said to be a hideaway area for adults known to those in the know.

However, isn't it a hideaway, but to let more people know the goodness of this town? The event called "Shintomi Day" will be held.

 

 

This event, which is the third time after repeated, will be held on the 12th (Sat) from 15:00 to 19:00 as the eve of "Shintomicho Ladder Sake".

They buy tickets common to each store and ladder 14 famous local stores.

Some people get acquainted while walking, and it's okay alone at all.

 

On the 13th (Sun), there will be a lecture by Takahiro Ebisawa in Shochiku costumes in the morning, and a lecture by Kabuki sommelier Kentaro Okuda in the afternoon + meal "Kabuki de Utage" and a public practice of Shintomiza Children's Kabuki. There is.

 

Furthermore, on both the 12th and 13th, Kabuki props and costumes will be released at the Japan Printing Hall, and mini cafes will be prepared.

It's a rare opportunity, so why not come to "Shintomi"?

 

In addition, some events require advance reservations and admission tickets.

In addition, please check the website "Shintomi-san" for details, including the exhibition time zone.
