Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

I am very happy to be able to introduce this person early in the year.

A retrospective exhibition by Hasui Kawase (1883-1957), a printmaker known as "Hiroshige of Showa," is being held at Nihonbashi Takashimaya. It's my favorite printmaker

In the morning of January 3, I went to Takashimaya, facing Chuo-dori, where the climbers of each university stand, to support the final runner on the Hakone Ekiden return route.

As the subtitle of the retrospective exhibition says "Japanese scenery of nostalgia", Tomoe Mizu traveled all over Japan to sketch, and returned to Tokyo to continue living in printmaking. There are more than 600 woodcuts left in life.

In this retrospective exhibition, sketchbooks and original drawings were also exhibited. The comparison between the sketches of the watercolor and the trial sliding and the main sliding was interesting because I could imagine the creator's intention to make it. You can also see a video (about 13 minutes) recording the sketch trip of Tomoe Mizu, and you can also hear the voice of the person himself.

In the recommendation letter of the retrospective exhibition, there was a statement saying, "I don't exist anywhere now, but nostalgic scenery-Please enjoy the trip of 'Rediscover Japan'."

I stopped and watched the nostalgic scenery many times.

Happy New Year. Ginza Matsuya has many New Year's projects for the past few years with the theme of "Japanese beauty" and "Japanese aesthetics", but this year is the "Oribe Furuta Exhibition", which will be 400 years after his death. There are many people who know it because it retains its name in "Oribe ware", which is known for its distorted shape and innovative design of green and earthy scraping. Oribe Furuta (1544-1615) is a "warlord tea master" who served Nobunaga, Hideyoshi, and Ieyasu, and is a creator who brought novel beauty into the world of tea in a strange way that contrasts with Wabicha after Rikyu's death. This time, the gorgeous "Kabuita" Keicho era, in which Oribe played an active part in three parts: "Oribe's Age", "Oribe's Chanoyu", and "Oribe's Tea Ceremony", Oribe developed tea utensils related to the novel design left, Oribe Exhibition Pamphlets from all over the world's masterpieces of tea bowls, water fingers, and kaiseki tools developed in one hall.

Looking at the novel modeling that I don't think it was produced very 400 years ago, Ieyasu felt the "dangerous smell" that loosened the system in it and found that "suspection of rebellion" was hung up I felt like it was. How do you enjoy the world of "Hyogemono", which can be said to be very modern at the beginning of the year?

I introduced the Tokyo City Air Terminal (T-CAT), which connects Narita Airport Haneda Airport in Nihonbashihakozakicho by limousine bus.

The limousine bus celebrated its 60th anniversary last year and various events were held.

A retro wrapping bus, a non-orange body bus, appeared, and during the last year, you can get on a bus bound for Narita Airport at the price at the time of its founding ...

There are several restaurants at T-CAT, and many foreigners from the airport recommend it with a unique and good atmosphere, so please drop in when you visit Ningyocho Suitengu, which is within walking distance!
