Horidomean (Sobaya)-Nihonbashi Horidomecho 1-chome

[Kanbe] June 30, 2014 20:00

For recently, I'm going to have lunch at the soba shop "Horiru-an" in Horidomecho 1-chome.

It is a good shop in the town that tastes good, feels good, and has a delicious lunch.

Appearance (rained day, calm appearance)

Paula Museum Annex

[Ashuan husband] June 30, 2014 09:00

There are many small museums and entertainment venues on Ginza Street. Sometimes, when you drop in casually, you may encounter unexpectedly interesting things. I went to Ginza for the first time in a long time today and entered the Paula Museum Annex at 1-chome. This is the annex of the Pola Museum of Art, located in Hakone, a well-known place. If you look at the contents of today's exhibition next to the cosmetics shop on the first floor, there is one day, there is a place. It was a photo exhibition of a young artist named Marisa Shimamoto. The poster uses photographs of rose flowers blooming in the city. These roses are thin and some flowers are withered. I don't know where the focus is. It's a workmanship far from the photos of Shotaro Akiyama I saw when I was young.

 

Attracted by the photos of this poster, when I entered the museum on the third floor, about 30 works were exhibited, all of which looked strange. When I looked at it roughly, it was just a picture that I could take. However, when I looked around again, I felt that there was some sense of unity and assertion in the work. I don't know what it was, but for some reason, it was just a good thing that attracted my heart. After all, on the way home, I bought a postcard of a rose flower work on the poster that I didn't know where the focus was.

 

The Paula Museum Annex is free, so I sometimes enter, but sometimes I encounter works that fall into my heart. Even now, I put a picture of Marisa Shimamoto's rose flower next to the computer and it is in the lingering sound. I am really grateful that this museum will hold an exhibition unique to Ginza, an adult city, as part of Pola's mecena activities.

 

The photo exhibition of Marisa Shimamoto's photo exhibition somdeday is scheduled to be held every day from 11:00 to 20:00 until July 21.

Visit the Sanno Festival Ginza

[Ryokichi] June 29, 2014 14:00

The Sanno Festival was held on the weekend of June in which "portable shrine, who entered Edo Castle during the Tokugawa period, was celebrated as a "Tenka Festival" where successive generals worshiped since the third shogun Iemitsu.

 

Kanda Myojin and Hie-jinja Shrine hold a grand festival every other year, and it is a festival where you can feel the remnants of Edo tradition that used to be honored to enter Edo Castle in the past.

 

IMG_5633.JPG

 

It is the Shinko Festival that has an edge in Chuo-ku. It is an event in the festival that starts at Hie-jinja Shrine in Nagata-cho, Chiyoda-ku and goes around here and there. This is a so-called parade performed by Ujiko dressed in various costumes. On the way, we will pass through Nihonbashi's branch office and walk around Chuo-dori gorgeously from Nihonbashi to Ginza.

After that, I passed the guard from Corridor Street and left for the Imperial Hotel. I happened to see it on Chuo-dori while I was out, but after a little bit, I looked at the line around Corridor Street and then the Imperial Hotel. I was surprised that this procession was very long.

 

A procession that delivers the scent of the Edo period to the gorgeous Ginza. It's interesting as a combination.

The Olympics will come in 2020, and I suddenly came up with the idea that such an event in Ginza would be very effective and meaningful to introduce the traditions of Japan or Tokyo. Is there any actual event like this?

Regardless of this, the tradition of the festival will continue.

 

 

 

 

Summer fruit shining in red

[Koedo Itabashi] June 29, 2014 09:00

A red gem that is well-shaped in the case of a "product shop" that deals with high-grade products.

It's bright. It's just like a girl's lips.

When included in the mouth, a slight acidity accentuates the wide sweetness.

You can eat as many as you like, cherries.

The cherry blossom peach season expresses a high standard in appearance, texture, and taste.

 

On Saturday, June 21, an event was held to make cherries very familiar.

The venue is a large parking lot at Tsukiji Honganji Temple.

It's a cherries seed skipping tournament.

The competition will be attended by the first 500 people on the day.

At around 11:20, 500 participants participated in the event, thanks to the crowd.

Last night's rain also rises before sunrise, and the competition starts with a slightly gauge wind blowing.

Stand three people on the starting platform and blow away the seeds at the red carpet, which shows the distance at intervals of one meter.

I feel sorry to fly the nucleus of that gemstone in the air.

It's hard to fly a few meters only for unfamiliar competitions.

Occasionally, when more than 10 meters come out, a shout "Oh!"

 

The prepared "cherries" are "Sato Nishiki" in Higashine City, Yamagata Prefecture, which boasts the highest production volume in Japan.

A delicate cherries that are hard to last for a long time.

In 1922, Eisuke Sato's passion for breeding has paid off, and Sato Nishiki is born.

Higashine City is the birthplace of Sato Nishiki.

 

And Higashine City has a deep connection with Chuo-ku.

In 1991, we entered into a friendly city tie-up.

In the lobby on the first floor of the Chuo-ku government office, alliances and commemorative items of friendship cities are displayed.

 

The highest record is 17m83cm.

This is a record of flying cherry seeds in Higashine City.

If you head to the starting point and look from this side about 20 meters, you can feel that distance is very far away.

A girl waiting in line was blowing away, saying, "I have to practice."

There was momentum, but the flight distance was 3 meters. "I have to use more springs."

Please do your best in production.

 

In Yamagata Prefecture, the fruit tree kingdom, you can enjoy plenty of fruit picking such as grapes, peaches, apples and La France, starting with cherries.

This summer, it is also an area for the destination campaign, and there are many fun events.

It is also a time of bliss to pull out one of your favorite grains directly from the tree branches and put them in your mouth.

"I'm going to go Tohoku." The station name of the Yamagata Shinkansen was also "Cherry Higashine".

 

 

 

June 25, Hamarikyu Garden "Edo Karakami Workshop"

[Edo Tabi Taro] June 28, 2014 09:00

■Twice in the morning and afternoon of June 25 (Wednesday), the "Edo Karakami Workshop" was held at Hamarikyu Onshi Garden and Houmetei. Matsuya Co., Ltd. ( Founded in 1690 (1690)).

I applied for this event and participated in the afternoon session.

■Lecturer: Mr. Yukio Koizumi. Born in 1947. Karagami is one of the few woodcut craftsmen of the fifth generation "Edo Karakami", counting from Shichigoro Koizumi, the first generation who was said to be a master craftsman of Edo. A traditional craftsman designated by the country and Tokyo, and received the Tokyo Metropolitan Excellent Skilled Engineer "Tokyo Meister". When the Hamarikyu Onshi Garden "Matsuno Ochiya" was restored, he was in charge of restoring the sliding doors and pasted walls. (From the notice printed matter)

 

■From Edo: "Karakami" is a technique in which woodblocks engraved with patterns are mainly painted with mica (white cloudica powder) and chalk (seashell powder), and patterns are copied on Japanese paper with handrails. It began with the imitation of "Mon Karagami", which came from China (Tang) during the Heian period, mainly in Kyoto, in Japan. With the progress of urban development in Edo by Tokugawa shogunate, we have achieved unique development in Edo as "Edo Karakami" in order to meet the diverse demands that have grown along with population growth. (From the notice printed matter)

■In the weather that was about to start off, Mr. Yukio Koizumi first toured the inside of "Matsuno Ochiya", where the sliding doors and pasted walls were restored.

 

□"Matsuno Ochiya" is a restoration of Ochiyaya from the 11th Shogun Ienari Tokugawa period.

□Yukio Koizumi explains the pattern of the restored pasted wall.

□Inside the "Matsu no Ochiya"

This "Matsuno Ochiya" is open to the public every Thursday at 1:00 pm and can be toured.

□Following "Matsuno Ochiya", "Tsubame no Ochiya" from the 11th Ienari era is currently under restoration work (scheduled to be completed next spring).

□This woodblock of "Kowakamatsu" was created in 1840 (1840). It is made of Japanese bigleaf magnolia.

□Participants copied patterns on three postcards with the cooperation of Yukio Koizumi, and came to receive them as souvenirs.

The patterns were "Kowakamatsu", "Gourd", and "Aomi wave ground scale crane". Since the mica is used, the pattern will sparkle when the angle is changed.

■It was a fun opportunity to experience Edo culture.

It seems that we are considering this workshop again this fall. If you are interested, please continue to check the information on the Internet.
