The giraffe statue of Starz.
Today, my parents and children were taking a commemorative photo below this.
Why is the giraffe statue here for a long time? I was wondering.
Why did you start standing here, what kind of relationship does it have with Stars Corporation, a company that is famous for the promotion of "Pitat House" and runs a real estate brokerage, etc., and is sponsoring the Tokyo Marathon etc. I didn't wonder.
On the morning of a weekday, I was told carefully when I visited the company's reception.
Previously, there was the head office of a company called "Tsumura Juntendo" in this area.
Kirin was thought to be a symbol of the king in Chinese medicine, and that thought was erected as a work by forging sculptor Izumi Ando.
Oh, speaking of that, in the past, I thought there was a building of Tsumura here.
Just in case, I checked it on the old map.
I wanted to investigate Izumi Ando a little more in detail and found it on Tama Art University's website. There was an introduction to his work that was installed at Nihonbashi Tsumura Building in 1989. It turned out that this building was also called the Chushoyu Building.
Tsumura Juntendo changed its company name to Tsumura & Co., and its headquarters is currently located in Akasaka, Minato-ku, Tokyo.
In the future, let's enjoy Kirin's journey on the Tokaido starting in Nihonbashi, during the 
Tokyo Marathon, and during the "Oedo Kashiki Parade" at the Nihonbashi Kyobashi Festival.
