Gallery Night Party 2015

[Silver] May 25, 2015 14:00

 "Ginza Night Party" hosted by Ginza Gallerys, which I look forward to every year.

The first event was held in the fall of 2004, has been held in spring since 2009, and is the eleventh this year.

This year, 26 galleries and galleries were participating.

We decided to go around the gallery in order from Nichido Gallery in Ginza 4-chome.

At Nichido Gallery, my feet stopped for a while at Kannemon Asai's Don Quijote and Sancho Pansa's paintings, Takeshi Hayashi's roses, and a daughter in a kimono.

If you think that the works of the most prominent art gallery are lined up, the works of newcomers were also exhibited, and some works were at a price that was friendly.

The delicious champagne after appreciation, C'est aussi tre's bien!

Japanese lantern, faintly illustrated in the darkness of the dusk and darkness, has an incredibly emotion.

At Ginza Yanagi Gallery, Vice President Yoko Noro is a kimono and "hospitality" is a kimono.

I saw Hiroshi Okano's collection of paintings set in the Seto Inland Sea, and I was impressed by the wonderful pastel color use and felt nostalgia.

The white wine and canape I received later were very delicious.

At Akika-dong, many female customers listened to the explanation of President Chiaki Tanaka's work with a saliva.

The title of the introduction of the collection of works by painter Kusunone Kaisho, "The filth is alive." I was passionate about the artist's background and the explanation of individual works.

One of the works in this is "Yuki Kaku". A picture of a kimono that is slightly removed from the shoulders, painted red by a woman who is unlikely to pass so much. I've been watching it several times before.

"It's a little worrisome, an unforgettable picture."

In "Galley Tanaga", I enjoyed my favorite Aispiri's work.

 In addition, it seems that each gallery also participated in a group, and your enthusiasm for art has been transmitted.

A wonderful and fashionable night party in the gallery. The women walking with the information leaflet will also be fashionable.

One was like Lenoir's model, and one was dressed in a kimono and painted in Japanese painting.

As expected, it's Ginza! It was a great success.

 

 

Opening of new head office in Haibara

1. May 25, 2015 09:00

I took a look at Mr. Haibara, who opened on the 20th. It is located on the west side of the Tokyo Nihonbashi Tower, which was completed in April. Mr. Haibara's familiar red logo was noticeable during the construction, so I was looking forward to it when it was completed. There is a good scent to enter the store from the entrance lined with celebratory orchids.

I came to look for a gift bag for a celebration, but I went around the shop just after a stylish day play. Gold seal, Imabari towel handkerchief, wrapping incense, two kinds of one-stroke paper "purchase" designed by Yumeji Takehisa.


As you know, "Haibara" is a long-established store dealing with Japanese paper products founded in 1806 (1806). When I ask the shop, it seems that the location of this new head office was the place where the shop was until 2011. With the redevelopment, I can't remember the previous streets completely "?"

100_1782.JPGAccording to the guidance of the shop, "Haibara's product design is handled by leading artists such as Shinshin Shibata, Kyosai Kawanabe, Yumeji Takehisa ..." It's luxurious. It seems that the one-stroke letter of Yumeji design was resurrected from what was requested by the fourth generation master.

It is fashionable that can be used for obi and kimono as it is. Washi was registered with UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Property.

Mr. Haibara seems to have more than 3,000 types of items handled, so I would like to enjoy a leisurely walk in the store again.

This year again, in the middle of Ginza, the 40m above the ground petit garden has a sweet scent of roses that attracts people and does not stop, and various flowers grown with great care will entertain the eyes of visitors.

The building currently under construction is designed with the motif of Edo Kiriko () and is 5 floors below ground and 11 floors above ground. It seems that the aim is to become a symbol of Ginza Sukiyabashi.

Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge

[Slow of Satsuki's Koi] May 24, 2015 09:00

Kachidokibashi / Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge, which is familiar to me, is a deep bridge for me.
This time, I would like to talk about the memories of Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge.

Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge Morning and Evening against the backdrop of the Tsukishima Building Group, which is small and difficult to understand.

 

 

Tsukuda High-Rise Building. JPG

The skyscrapers of Tsukuda. Who could imagine this when Tsukuda was handed over?

 

 

This bridge was built in preparation for the 1964 Tokyo Olympics.
I still remember this time.
There was a little time from the completion of the bridge to the opening, and I was able to play here.
I ran down the slope by bicycle and enjoyed the thrill of the speed.

I ran down this slope by bicycle and played

 

Certainly, the ceremony at the time of opening was grand and brass band
I think there was a parade.

 

Before the bridge was built, there was a crossing of Tsukuda, and now there is a monument there.
On August 27, 1964 (Showa 39), with a history of 300 years.
It seems to have been abandoned due to the Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge Bridge.

The memory of crossing to Tsukuda Island on a ferry is faintly revived.
He was a child, so he had no choice but to play on it.
The fare must have been free.

As I said last time, the river was dirty and smelled.
Now that it's beautiful, I want to go to Tsukuda Island again on this.
