■From May 25 (Monday), a 50m pedestrian paradise in Nihonbashi started on a trial basis from 11am to 8pm.

If there is no problem after conducting it for a few months, it seems that it will continue as it is.

The location of the pedestrian paradise is the road between "Cored Muromachi" and "Cored Muromachi 2". It is a section that also serves as the approach to Fukutoku Shrine.

At the Kabukiza Gallery, located on the 5th floor of Kabukiza Tower in Ginza 4-chome, "Touching, Seeing, Touching, Trying" is currently being held.

This exhibition is hands-on, and you can enjoy the props and musical instruments actually used in Kabuki by picking up, moving, and making sound.

Photography is free (strobes are not allowed) and there are many shooting spots.

Riding on a palanquin of "Suzugamori" or a horse of "Mimori Monogatari", learning at Terakoya in "Terakoya", becoming a "Shiranami Five Men" or "Fujimusume", and you can see it on the flower path You.

You can also try out Kabuki's "rain sound" and "wave sound" by yourself.

You can also see the gorgeous Uchikake of Oiran and Date Hyogo (wig) up close.

Videos related to each prop were also played in several places, which was helpful.

Opening hours are from 10:00 to 17:30 (final admission is 17:00).

I think it's a project that adults who know Kabuki to some extent can get more excited and enjoy than for children.

Why don't you stop by the 5th floor of Kabukiza Tower once?

In June, "New Light Snow Story" was performed day and night. It is said that it will not be possible to perform without actors, but this time it was a great face-to-face meeting with Kikugoro, Koshiro, Yoshiemon and Nizaemon. I came here for lunch on the third day today. It's still the third day, so it's one of the pleasures that the actors' wives can see the neat kimono in a row near the reception. It's full. Another topic is Umeeda in the daytime section "Hanami", Kotaro in the "School", and Yoneyoshi in the evening section "Hall / Away" and "Masunenai" in Yoneyoshi in the young female figure that is now on sale What to do. The daytime section is Seika Mayama's "Tenpo era Yukyoroku" and the night section is "Yukai shelf". I watched the play throughout the day and night, but as expected, I was lying down and the night part was fun next week. Please take a look at the luxurious stage with big face-to-face.

Senakiraku is on the twenty-fifth. For inquiries, please contact Ticket Hon Shochiku 0570-000-489 (10:00 to 18:00).

　As you all know, there is a large population difference between day and night in Chuo-ku. However, the population of the ward is steadily increasing.

The latest data released every month exceeds 140,000.

　On the last Sunday of May, I visited the Local Tenmonkan (Time Dome Akashi) for the first time in a long time, and found the '12th Eco at Akatsuki Park nearby.

I encountered a festival and a flea market.

Akatsuki Park, famous for its Siebold bust, has a space where children can grow and play and play equipment.

It is a place where families can participate in the event with peace of mind. As an aside, I accidentally encountered the snow festival in February.

I did it.

　Many environmental perforations were exhibited under the theme of "Let's know" and "Let's do it, we can do it".

The central community bus "Edo Bus" also attracted children's interest with the catchphrase of sitting in the driver's seat.

The flea market held at the same time was also exhibited by young people, and it was lively and lively.

I asked Tenmonkan to recognize the old Chuo-ku, but I never expected to meet people who live now.

Tsukiji is a great success with domestic and foreign tourists every day, but the children I met at Akatsuki Park from St. Luke Street and Tsukiji River Park.

I was able to get a lot of 'ki' in the lively voice and movement.

Everybody went out and something.

Would you like to see it?

By the way, a flea market will be held in Hamacho Park in November.

From 　April 1 to June 30, 2015, a documentary film called "Phantom World Exposition" is being screened at "Time Dome Akashi".

　In 1940, Japan's first Expo (2600 BC Commemorative Japan World Exposition) was scheduled for the main venue at Tsukishima No. 4 landfill (now Harumi, Chuo-ku). The event was held for 170 days from March 15 to August 31, with an estimated audience of 45 million.

　However, due to the intensification of war, this Expo was postponed indefinitely just before the event.

　This film also introduces plans to relocate the Tokyo City Hall to Tsukishima, as it is under construction of Kachidokibashi, which was created in conjunction with this event. The construction of the Tsukiji Hotel Building and the Ginza Brick Street are also depicted, not only introducing materials from the "Phantom Expo", but also an overview of the modern and modern history of Japan from late Tokugawa shogunate to the Meiji, Taisho, Showa, and today.

　The "Phantom Expo" is simply described by Saiden Stecker as follows ("Standing Tokyo": Original 1990).

＞The exposition was planned to be held at the mouth of the Sumida River and at the coast of Yokohama, where the groundbreaking ceremony was held. Even admission tickets were already sold, and sales were strong. The creation of the Kachidokibashi, which spans the lowermost stream of the Sumida River, was actually part of the preparation for the exposition. The mission was dispatched overseas and started advertising. However, in 1938, the same year when the Olympics were declined, the government announced a plan to extend the exposition indefinitely. Therefore, Tokyo City also switched to a cheaper event in 2600 B.C. There were talks about relocating the city hall to Tsukishima, which was scheduled to be the venue for the exposition, but there was a report that interest was entangled. （95）

From June 3rd, a print exhibition entitled "~ 20th Century Spanish Masters of the 20th Century: Picasso Miro Dali Print Exhibition" is being held at the Maruzen Nihonbashi store 3rd floor gallery in Nihonbashi 2-chome.

Needless to say, Maruzen is one of Japan's leading bookstores, and Maruzen's first store, Nihonbashi, opened in 1870.

At the time of its opening, it was said that it was "Zenshichi Maruya".

Not only Cubism Picasso, Surrealism Miro and Dali, but also prints by painters representing the 20th century, such as Chagall, Utriro, Dufy, Matisse, Lauransan, and buffet, were exhibited.

I myself had become a habit of buying (ordering) books on the Internet, so it would be good to go to a bookstore and enjoy the event and surrounded by books in the wake of such an event at a bookstore. I thought it was.

The exhibition is open from 9:30 to 20:30, and the last day is closed from 17:00.
