■May 16, 2015, evening of river breeze and music-a moment of healing with cornet performance on board-

[Edo Tabi Taro] May 19, 2015 18:00

■On May 16 (Saturday), we participated in the “NPO Mizuto Tokyo Creation Association” “Kawakaze and Music Evening” (sponsored by Chuo-ku, Chuo-ku Tourism Association).

□The ship is Asakusabashi / Miuraya "Ikijinmaru" (conducting houseboat Tokyo Cooperative).

"Ikijinmaru", which can pass under a low bridge girder at high tide, has arrived at Nihonbashi Pier.

DR.Ozawa plays cornets and others.

When passing under the bridge, the sound echoed was more wonderful.

□He listened not only to musical instruments but also to singing voices.

□The course departs from the Nihonbashi Pier. Sumida River from Nihonbashi River. U-turn in front of Basho-an Historic Site Observation Garden at the mouth of the Onagi River. Returning off the coast of Tsukuda, going up the Nihonbashi River, U-turn in front of Jobanbashi, an hour course to Nihonbashi Pier.

 

□People who were eating on the terrace facing the waterside around Nihonbashi were able to wave their hands with a smile.

■While the wind on the river surface at dusk was comfortable, the instruments such as cornets played by DR.Ozawa and the bitter singing voice made me forget the hustle and bustle of the city.

The fact that I realized the splendor of Edo and Tokyo, the capital of water, was reflected in the smiles of the participants when descending the ship.

 

 

 

Men's Flower Path @ Meijiza

[Nanako Tsukishima] May 19, 2015 14:00

Do you know about Genseki Habu?
 
There are graves and stone monuments on the grounds of Tsukiji Honganji Temple, an ophthalmologist in the late Edo period, and it is necessary to study the Chuo-ku Tourism Test.

I'm an indispensable orchid doctor.

 

"Man's Flower Path" depicts the friendship between Genshu and Kabuki actors.
I would like to introduce it because it is being performed at the May Hanagata Kabuki in Meijiza.
 

Kabuki is my second time.
After watching, tears came to my cheeks. You can't cry in Kabuki...。

Splendid and beautiful performance of Hanagata actors, directing with audience seats, etc.
Beautiful shamisen and drums played by the actors themselves.
A script that resonates with the heart that reminds me of the path as a person.IMG_5298.JPG
 

An aunt who was warned of chatting

Some uncle who was a little noisy.
I would have returned to me after I finished watching it.

It's easy to convey.

 
You can enjoy not only Kabukiza but also Kabuki at Meijiza.
If you have a seat on the second floor or higher, you'd better see the flower path.
 

Near Meijiza

The only sumo room in Chuo-ku, "Arashio Room" and
There is also Kiyomasa Koji Temple, which enshrines the Prince of Kato Kiyomasa in Hamacho Park.
Hamacho, which is different from the liveliness of Ningyocho, is also recommended.

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] May 19, 2015 09:00

From May 14th, a photo exhibition will be held at Canon Gallery Ginza in Ginza 3-chome to celebrate the 50th anniversary of professional life by professional golfer Isao Aoki.

From golf photographer Taku Miyamoto's shooting for 30 years to Isao Aoki's tournament name scene to off-shots, a number of photos full of charm of "Aoki in the world" are on display.

Looking at one work at a time, when I came in front of one work, there was a work that I thought what was taken. A red swell like the air's lock in the sunset. After a while, I realized that it was the back at the time of padtting with a deep forward inclination unique to Aoki Pro, and I was convinced by myself.

The official name of the photo exhibition is "Isao Aoki 50th anniversary study x 50th = Human power Isao Aoki curiosity If 50 years on a train called curiosity, human power!" Sir

Aoki It's just a wonderful work that captures the personality of Pro.

The event will be held until May 20 (Wednesday), opening hours will be from 10:30 to 18:30 (until 15:00 on the last day). Closed on Sundays and public holidays.

Yukka orchids are in full bloom

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] May 18, 2015 18:00

At the end of Ginza 3-chome hitting the Tokyo Metropolitan Expressway Toshin Beltway, the planting area (pink on the map below) on the south side of Kamei Bridge Nishi-filling is now in full bloom of Yukka orchids.

Yukka orchid is a plant of the family Ryuzetsuran, and is also known as Atsuba-kun is a fine Japanese name of Dairan.

It seems to bloom twice in spring and autumn, but I didn't have any image or memory of blooming in autumn.

spanida2.JPG

The English name is "Spanish dagger" and means "Spanish sword". The Chinese name is "Hoo Orchid", which is shaped like a tail of "Phoenix", so this is also named from the leaves.

spanida3.JPG

It is native to the American continent and seems to be resistant to heat and drying, and in the sunshine reminiscent of summer, just next to the car to go to the capital height, stands up a conical inflorescence of about 1 meter, and is energetic white bell-shaped flowers are blooming.

 

 

Lunch at sushi restaurant Ishihara ★Ginza Restaurant Week 2015

[Mapo ★] May 18, 2015 14:00

The second restaurant week of this year is a sushi lunch!

A restaurant called Ishihara, a sushi restaurant located in Ginza 7-chome.
It seems that the landlady is young and has Kyoto dialect, and Mr. Maiko comes to the shop.

 

I arrived about 10 minutes earlier and passed through the back parlor and came out of tea.

It was hot, so I made it iced.

The parlor is also very beautiful, and the shop was opened three years ago.

I didn't have a glass wine, so I drank plum wine rock.

Protruding mozuku, kohada, bonito,
Somehow, flounder, chawanmushi, sardine, horse mackerel, pickled tuna,
Kombu of Rei Hoshika, squid, red soup, leek, kanpyo roll,
congridae salt, sauce, matcha ice cream.

Pickles of Chinese cabbage come out and water eggplant of Senshu come out.
It's something like a chopstick rest on the way, something that vegetables ... I've eaten several times,
There is something like a tuna inside ...

In addition, from the landlady to the present of Nakatoro!

With this much content, 3240 yen is truly Restaurant Week (* ^^ *)

Even if it's restaurant week, it's impossible.

 

And I don't know how much sweet shrimp is in season.

It seems that they always purchase seasonal products, near seas, natural products, etc.

 

All of them were delicious, but I guess it's flounder (* ^^ *)
Even with the same glow, Kohada feels more delicate than horse mackerel.

 

It was a sushi restaurant that I wanted to visit again.♪

◆There is a history here in Chuo-ku (60) Former main pillar of Kamejima River Takahashi

[Akira Makibuchi / Sharakusai] May 18, 2015 09:00

There is an old main pillar next to Takahashi over the Kamejima River. "Takahashi" is an old bridge that is also described in the early Edo period pictorial drawings, and is said to have passed when Akaho Nanji was repatriated. Recently, mooring and storage facilities for small ships have been established nearby, and the waterside has been improved. I would like to take a look at the history of Takahashi.

 

0913_60_150515takabashi.jpgThe current "Takahashi" opened in March 1984 (1984) and spans the Kajibashi Street connecting Hatchobori and Shinkawa on the Kamejima River. The downstream from here flows through Minami Takahashi to the Sumida River. The remaining main pillar is located at Takahashi Southeast Children's Amusement Park on the Shinkawa side. This seems to be from a concrete arch bridge that was replaced in 1919 (1919). (Upper photo: The left is the old bridge, and the right is the main pillar of the current bridge.)

 

"It is described as a name bridge in the Masayasu Edo Map, which is considered to be a figure from 1644 (1644) to July of the following year (1645). In addition, the origin of the name is said to be derived from the frequent entry and exit of ships because it was built near the mouth of the Kamejima River, and a bridge with a high pier was built." ("Chuo-ku Bridge / Hashizume Square" Chuo-ku Modern Bridge Survey (Chuo-ku Board of Education, 1998)).

 

During the Edo period, Takahashi was the bridge at the lowermost stream of the Kamejima River, and from Edo Minato to Inari Bridge was at Funairi to Hatchobori (Horiwari), where large ships could only enter this far. The scenery is depicted in "Hundred Views of Edo" and "Tetsubosu Inaribashi Minato Shrine" (Hiroshige). The Shinkawa side was on the banks of the Shogen River.

 

In addition, "The iron foil truss bridge completed in October 1882 (1882) was the first domestic bridge designed by Japanese engineer Haraguchi Kaname" (same book), and this landscape is Yasuji Inoue's painting "The view of Rei Kishijima Takahashi" depicts a black-painted truss bridge.

 

Currently, the Kamejima River mooring storage facility managed by the Tokyo Metropolitan Park Association has been set up in the water area between Takahashi and Minami Takahashi so that about 10 ships can be moored (lower photo: Shinkawa side on the left bank seen from Takahashi, and the right bank is Hatchobori Funairi). @ Akira Makibuchi
