There were a lot of other wonderful works, but please forgive me that I have to divide it due to space limitations.

 

In addition, Winter Illumination 2014 has started at Harumi Triton Square.

I felt like I visited during the afternoon of November 1st.

The atmosphere of the night of November 4 is like this and is recommended as a quiet date spot. (Flower carpet until 15:30 on November 5)

The illuminated Fukutoku Shrine

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] Nov. 4, 2014 18:00

The Fukutoku Shrine, where the New shrine hall was completed, and the area around Ukiyokoji and Nakadori surrounding the shrine are beautifully illuminated.

fukl1.JPGSurrounded by buildings and streets developed in Nihonbashi Muromachi's East District Development Plan, the vermilion torii gate emerges with a presence.

fukl2.JPGIt's also a business district, like a newly developed city as a restaurant and shopping district, businessmen and people who enjoyed eating and shopping were visiting through the illuminated torii gate. It's so quiet that you can't imagine just enter one from fukl3.JPGChuo-dori. How about a walking course in Nihonbashi at night during this season?

 

 

Long-established “Town Walking Tour” course (1)

[Many Books] Nov. 4, 2014 14:00

October 30 "Town Walking Tour" Long-established Course 1 was held. There were 9 participants (It seems that there were 52 applicants. A total of 12 members of the correspondent association and 2 members of the 12 members of the store.

 

Departed in front of Mitsukoshi at 10 o'clock and first visited Bunmeido.

From the manager of Hoshino

The etymology of "castella" and the story of ingredients (eggs, sugar, flour, syrup are basically used),

 

And Mr. Bunmeido says that four shops are independent and each company is a separate company. (I didn't know!)

We also showed you a gift certificate issued in 1941.

The one on the left in the photo on the right is the gift certificate.

Next, I asked Mr. Saruya, a long-established toothpick. I heard from President Yamamoto.

IMG_0345.JPG

What is the origin of the shop's name "Saruya"?

It was the origin of the unexpected name.

 

It seems that a toothpick shop is also depicted in the ukiyo-e on the back.

"Kuromoji" tree (?!) I purchased "Kuromoji" made from "Kuromoji".

Before visiting the next Kiya-san, I visited a nearby Fukutoku Shrine. This shrine is enshrined in the valley of the building, which is introduced on the blog of "Gimini".

IMG_0347.JPG

The last is "Kiya". It is a long-established store that is also listed on old maps of the Edo period, and handles knives.

IMG_0348.JPG



Mr. Kaneko says that Kiya is drawn in "Kishiro Shoran" (reproduction is on display in the underpass in front of Mitsukoshi).

The one in the forehead is the "Kishiro Shoran".

 

It seems that foreigners are buying Japanese knives / kitchen knives.

 

On this day, many foreign people could be seen, mixed with Japanese customers.

12:00 free dissolution in front of "Kiya". Participants said, "It was fun to hear a very rare story." We look forward to your participation again.

Mr. Bunmeido, Mr. Saruya, Mr. Kiya, thank you.

 

*It seems that the origin of "Saruya" comes from the animal "monkey". There is a theory that monkeys do not cause pyorrhea, have white teeth, and that craftsmen who make toothpicks worked with monkeys on their side.

 

 

Boat Transportation Workshop Tokyo Bay Coast Tour Guide Training <Koto-ku>

[Sam] Nov. 4, 2014 09:00

R0030401CLS.JPGR0016107RSG.JPG  The “Fun Transport Sightseeing Workshop” hosted by the Chuo-ku Tourism Association, which started in cooperation with Koto-ku to foster leaders in local tourism.

Following the lectures and practical training in Chuo-ku and lectures in Koto-ku, on November 1st, the Tokyo Bay Coast tour guide training in Koto-ku was conducted. .

 

At 10:00, we boarded "common kingfisher" from the departure and arrival of St. Luke Garden in Akashicho.

Today's lecturer is Mr. Hisasome Nakagawa Funabansho Museum & Mr. Takada, "Mizuto Tokyo Creation Association".

It began to rain on the way, and the distant ones were grayish,

Experience the city of the Waterfront area, which is undergoing a daily transformation from the boat's perspective, including the first cruise to the Ariake West Canal.

Since it is no longer the era of importing log logs from the country of origin, the old storage yard has now become lodging, and after the transition from the former warehouse and logistics base town to the critical business district, high-rise apartments are lined up, the improvement of living functions is progressing, and the influx of young people seems to be remarkable.

I hear that there have been more opportunities to hear children's play voices in a park built along the canal and to see infants held by parents wave their hands.

Although the water transportation function has declined significantly since the Edo period, the "digging concept", which expanded landfills while securing waterways, has lived to the present day.

 Marugoto Museum 2014, the 66th Central Ward cultural festival Event

"Tsukiji Social Education Center Exhibition", decorative sushi, Japanese sword fighting, etc. are held, so I went there.

The Japanese swordsman was very impressive, with a full-fledged swordsman played in the play of the conflict of heart with the people surrounding Oishi built-in assistants on the subject of Chushingura.

The song show, which was held at the same time, was a collaboration between a very smiling and good story woman, her sister, and the koto.

He sang white swings, love vacations, shamisen sisters, etc., and said that they were "Mikodori sisters".

DSC06045 (300x169). jpg

Later, it was a warm stage to the visitors, saying, "I'm waiting for you."

In addition to the songs, they performed nostalgic songs and famous songs such as "Sato no Aki", "Akatonbo", and "Momiji" in Koto performances.

After a while after the show, I asked for a greeting, asked for the story, and name.

I told Nippon Television "Look Look Hello Konichiha", reporter Midori Takase and sisters of MIKO.

At that time, I saw it somewhere, and it was silver that convinced me that I was good at singing.

 Tsukiji Social Education Center, on November 15th, there is also the "Gathering of International Exchange 2014" of the Chuo-ku Cultural and International Exchange Promotion Association. . http://www.chuo-ci.jp/

New shrine hall (Fukutoku Shrine) in Building Street, Nihonbashi Muromachi

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] Nov. 1, 2014 19:19

In late October, the new shrine hall of Fukutoku Shrine (also known as Mebuki Shrine), which has a history of more than 1,100 years as a guardian of Nihonbashi Muromachi, was completed.

fuk1.JPGThis Fukutoku Shrine is a venerable shrine that is said to have been worshiped by warlords such as Yoshiie Minamotono and Michio Ota in the old days, and Ieyasu Tokugawa and Hidetada also visited to visit. In the Edo period, it was also crowded with lottery officially recognized by the Shogunate. It is said that the origin of Mebuki Shrine in another issue is due to the emergence of young shoots in the torii gate made up of Nukugi trees.

fuk2.JPGDespite being a shrine with such a history, he has been relocated many times, and the reform of Tenpo seemed to be in danger of dismantling.

fuk3.JPGThis time, the rebuilt Inari Shrine with the front back of east Asian hip-and-gable roof and the staggered gable has a beautiful brand-new copper-plated roof, and cypress wood is used for the parts that can be seen from the front.

fuk4.JPGThe neighborhood of "COREDO Muromachi" and "YUITO" buildings is likely to become a new spot in Nihonbashi.
