 □Fire boats

A few fire boats were gathered.

　

□Water discharge

 The practice of running water discharge has begun.

 

□Water discharge of colored water

 There was also a practice to carry out water discharge with colored water.

The weather is not good today, and the color is not good in the image, but I was able to see a beautiful color with the naked eye.

If the day is fine on the 24th, you will be able to see a wonderful sight.

　Only 6 in Japan in Nihonbashi ☆Do you know that there is a hotel?
The name of the hotel is "Mandarin Oriental Tokyo".　

　

The hotel is a luxury hotel opened in Japan in December 2005 by the Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group headquartered in Hong Kong.　
In 1974, the group also acquired the prestigious The Oriental Bangkok (now Mandarin Oriental Bangkok) in Bangkok, Thailand, which is always the top hotel rankings in the world.

　Whether it's foreign or domestic, it's the top in the hotel rankings. The Michelin Guide Tokyo has received the highest ranking of hotel ratings, and the world's first "six stars" rating from an American Academy of Hospitality Science.

　It occupies the 30th to 36th floors of Nihonbashi Mitsui Tower, a large complex redevelopment building next to the Mitsui Main Building, a national important cultural property in Nihonbashi, but it is very difficult to tell where the hotel entrance is located from Chuo-dori.
Enter the small entrance in front of the lobby and go a little further, and you will find an elevator platform on your left.

　　

　The front desk of the hotel is located on the top floor (38th floor), with the hotel lobby, breakfast restaurants and tearooms on and below floors.　
　The guest room is a dedicated elevator and you can't get on the elevator without a card key in the room, but anyone can enter this lobby and the view of Tokyo from the glass-covered lobby is exceptional because there are not many tall buildings around it.　Of course, it's good to drink tea in the tea room.

　　　

　However, the real recommendation is not the view from the lobby!
Let's enter the toilet next to the lobby!　As expected, 6 ☆The hotel is a great toilet!　There are plenty of warm towels to wipe your hands.
　But the most wonderful thing is the view from the toilet.　The entire area is covered with glass and the Sky Tree is in front of you, and there is no tall building on the way, so you can overlook the Sumida River.
There will be no such observation deck overlooking the stunning downtown scenery of Tokyo and the sky tree (it is also free!)

　　

　By the way, when you return to the lobby, you can enjoy another worthy scenery.
　On the other side of the toilet, that is, the window facing west, you can see the buildings around Tokyo Station in front of you, but look closer and look directly below.　You can see the building with a green roof. This is the main building of the Bank of Japan head office, which was designated as a National Important Cultural Property in 1974.
　Designed by Kingo Tatsuno, an architect who worked on Tokyo Station and other places, this work represents the modern Western-style architecture of Meiji period, which is said to have been modeled on the Belgian central bank, with a baroque style such as pillars and dome <maru roof> and a renaissance style such as regular windows.

　This building is famous for its appearance as a "yen" when viewed from the sky, but it is said that the original letter of "yen" at the time of construction is "en", so it is not conscious of "yen". However, since the word "en" has been used for a long time as an abbreviation (handwritten character) for "en", there is also a theory that this form was intended for "en", and I feel that this is more romantic.

Anyway, there is no other place where you can see the Bank's building in the shape of the yen directly below, so please take a look. (It's actually sideways...）

　　　

　

　This Mandarin Oriental Hotel Tokyo has a total of 178 rooms. The most basic deluxe is about 50 square meters in size and the room cost is 50,000 yen (twin) including breakfast. It's not so expensive compared to other famous hotels, so you may stay here to make a topic.

　

 

 

A long-established stationery store in Tsukiji 7-chome closed.

I wonder if one of the lights of culture has disappeared.

I felt lonely.

After that store, we will take advantage of the advantages of show windows with a variety of frames.

It became a show room "Anchor" that handles clothes imported directly from France.

If you look into it, you will find stylish border shirts lined up, and at first glance, it looks like a border specialty store.

I call it a "border shop" for convenience.

Basically, it is a wholesaler, and depending on the visitors, such as Shimashimaya-san.

It seems that he is called in his own way.

 

 

 

"Border T-shirts" and "Basque Shirts" (born in the Basque region) are very popular in Japan.

Since around the 1820s, in the Brittany region of France

It continues to be worn by seafarers.

In the local area, "marinier" fisherman-style

"Bulton" (born in the Brittany region) and

It is said that it is called.

There are various theories about the original controversy, but in any case, it was later adopted in navy uniforms.

The number of borders is clearly defined as the same number as Napoleon Victory.

It is a standard that has gradually spread throughout the world and is not affected by the pilgrimage of fashion.

An essential item for men and women of all ages's wardrobe.

The portrait photos that Picasso and Hemingway love use are also famous.

There's about one of you. If you like borders, do you have many cards at hand?

　

 

Mr. Takamatsu, the representative, was the rise of House Manukan.

Worked for apparel companies from the bubble period to the second half.

With the exception of a handful, it is not quite creative at all.

I was tired of the easyness of the designer brand and character brand.

When my interest was about to fade

Meet the category of factory brands.

 

I have been involved in English music since I was a student.

Knowing its cultural background, the Industrial Revolution and Industrial Revolution brought about.

Combined with the fact that I felt the splendor of the British factory function on my skin, I was able to do so.

"The origin of clothes" = just like your feelings go to the origin.

 

However, the connection was connected.

A long-established restaurant of marine wear in France, not U.K.

I will take on the agent and become independent with several people.

I've been developing Shibuya-Aoyama-Ginza.

With the times and age, moved to Tsukiji, far away from the fashionable location.

　

 

Don't you go too far? In response to the question

"It's true that the channel is completely different from where we've been with.

For example, people working in the market

It's fun to ask your voice directly from the end user."

A few minutes from Tsukiji Market. An uncle in rubber boots stopped by and dropped in.

It is like purchasing it as a solid workwear.

For him, it seems to be a reconfirmation of the origin and origin that makes sense.

 

The inside of the store is actually bordered and shirts.

Many factory brands that Mr. Takamatsu fell in love with are enshrined.

 

[Armo Rucks] Brittany Region

Founded in 1938.

The brand name is Burton, "The Light of the Sea"

This item is symbolized by a marine stripe stripe that feels soft.

He works on a wide range of clothing, men's clothing, and lingeries.

 

[Fileuse d'Arvor (Filse D'Arbo)] Brittany Region

Founded in 1927.

The old-fashioned "Vintage Rib" is called "Vintage Rib".

The most distinctive feature of this knitted fabric is the use of a knitted fabric.

After all, the borders are symbolic and are provided to the current French Navy.

 

[GUY Cotten (Gi Cotten)] Brittany Region

Founded in 1964.

Build an unwavering position with "yellow oilskin item".

It mainly consists of rubber kappa and ties.

The market share of French fisherman wear is 99%.

Quickly incorporate velcro tape and dissolving crimp.

Pursuit the convenience and durability required by modern times.

 

[Arpin] Savoie region

A long-established store founded in 1817.

Use only Alps wool and use national heritage machinery and technology.

He works on everything from silk to weaving.

Recently, we have enhanced functionality-oriented wear that incorporates chemical materials.

I recommend it.

Signature model of North Pole explorer Paul Emir Victor.

 

 

"For these companies, they are on the ground.

I like the bottom of my heart, there is a serious ochan with technology.

Size and size for Japan

It really understands my request and makes it.

So the real certainty and story that exist there are

If you wear it, you will feel it with your skin."

 

(On the day of the interview, my wife also helped. The right side of the photo is his wife. I met you for the first time.

 

For me, when I was young, I didn't notice the goodness of things, stories, etc.

I jumped on just because everyone was wearing it, but

Because it was a standard, it was difficult to get it somehow.

Now that I get older, I feel like I'm able to wear it in an established style.

When worn by generations aged both physically and mentally, the persuasiveness appears in clothes.

It may be the strength of the factory brand.

 

"Border shop" has already gained popularity by word of mouth.

It may be extremely natural for Tsukiji, which has many connoisseurs and inherits the best of Edo.

By all means, listen to the brand story from Mr. Takamatsu.

Find a nice piece that will be close to your life.

 

7-11-10, Tsukiji, Chuo-ku

Irregular holidays

 

 

 

 

 

　It would be interesting to examine the process up to the establishment of "Chuo-ku". "Chuo-ku" was formed by the integration of "Nihonbashi-ku" and "Kyobashi-ku" in 1947, but at this time, the Kyobashi-ku assembly immediately voted to integrate, but in Nihonbashi-ku It seems that the Tokyo Metropolitan Government continued to take a cautious stance from the intent of maintaining the traditional Nihonbashi common living area until midnight.

 

　As a result, the integration was passed by one vote, but in connection with the new ward name, "The name of the town in the area of the current Nihonbashi ward is what Nihonbashi, Chuo-ku, what town, what number, and what number?" Was attached.

 

　Regarding the selection of the new ward name, in addition to Chuo-ku, there were plans such as "Edo, Ginza, Oedo, Nikkei". .

 

 

 

　This is the first blog of this year. I went to various places to see Mt. Monomi, but my blog has been resting for a long time.

To commemorate the resumption, first of all, it's a wonderful thing.

　

　The other day, I went to Tsukiji Outer Market and walked along Harumi-dori St.

I found a big one. This is the "sea bream" on the wall of the hotel in Tokyu Stay.

　I don't know if it's better to live!

 

　Tsukiji Market will move to Toyosu, but a wonderful new facility is under construction in the area of Tsukiji Outer Market.

It is said that you can buy fresh ingredients and eat.

　In addition, the number of new sights in Chuo-ku is increasing, and I'm looking forward to going out.

　

　

　If you say another "Congratulations", the Japanese are still sacred mountain "Mount Fuji".

I was told you when I got on a cruise boat from Nihonbashi Pier.

The Nihonbashi River had a highway roof and I couldn't see it at all, so I walked along the Nihonbashi River along the river.

Actually, the purpose was to see the shape of the bridge.

I found it!

　

　It's a bit far away, but I could see it.

It is a wall of a building with no windows of Konishi Shuzo, "Mountain is Fuji, Sake is Snow White".

　

　Along the river, the history of sake, such as "descent things" to Edo, is still alive.

　

 

 

　

　　　Maybe you know, the word Michelin.

　　How many stars do you manage to do? What a word behind me

　　I'm going to follow you.

　　　

　　　The shop I visited today is full of Onin who trained in such a place.

　　It is an enterprising shop opened with a lot of enterprising. However, he was trained

　　We are working with a concept different from the shop.

　　　The name of the shop is Tokuuchiyama.

　　　　Well, I'll introduce you to the store for a while.

　

　

　

　

　

　　Through the counter, the chef's movements and conversation will be delicious.

　

　　Many wines are also available at the cooler.

　　　　　I'm waiting for you.

　

　　　　

Cooking with seasonal ingredients also enriches your mind.

In addition, the agile response of the staff who are cleaning up the shop was also good.

I often ask questions and talk to the people in the shop and see the reaction.

I've passed here.　I wish I could talk a little more about it.

The food is very good.　Introduced to seniors and friends, and already from 2-3 people GOOD

Thank you very much for your reply. It was good.　It's lunch.

This month I'm going to visit my son and wife at night. I had a good reputation among acquaintances during the day.

How about night?　It is said that night cooking is a lot of effort, unlike daytime.

I'm looking forward to it.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　From the residents of Akashicho
