　From 7:30 every Saturday, Tai Chi is being held on the "Water Terrace" of "Harumi Triton Square".

　In case of rain, it will be held in the square in Triton Square.

 

In the various movements of Tai Chi, the gentle and clear voice of the teacher who teaches us gives us even more energy.

　

My favorite word is "put your eyes far away."

　

Every day, I live a busy daily life, and only Saturday morning feels a very quiet and fulfilling morning.

　

Also, my friends are very friendly.

When joining, there is no particular procedure, etc., without entering the name.

You don't need to be notified of attendance on the day.

　

I am also fascinated by the gentle and sounding voice of the teacher, and I go there every time.

　

　　

 

 

While strolling through Nihonbashi Muromachi, I was walking in front of a building facing the Nihonbashi River near Nihonbashi Kitazume Intersection, and through the glass door, I saw a model of a red brick building placed in the lobby on the first floor.

When I entered the building with curiosity and showed the model at the reception desk on the first floor lobby, the actual circular window of the model was embedded and preserved on the wall of the lobby.

This company is Daiei Fudosan Co. Established in 1950 in 1950, we are engaged in a wide range of real estate businesses, from renting buildings to developing and selling condominiums.

The model displayed in the lobby is the former headquarters building of the company. It was designed by Kingo Tatsuno, who helped many wonderful buildings such as Tokyo Station, the Bank of Japan head office, and the Osaka City Central Public Hall.

The company's former headquarters building also has an appearance that clearly shows the characteristics of the so-called Tatsuno-style architecture, with red bricks and white stones wrapped in a belt. In fact, the beautiful appearance facing the Nihonbashi River facing the Nihonbashi River is "Nihonbashi Red Brick Building" It seems that it was famous.

The current building (new head office building) completed in 1989 was built on the site of the former head office building (pictured below).

By the way, this model seems to have been used in the movie "ALWAYS Continuing Sanchome Sunset", which precisely reproduced the cityscape of Tokyo in Showa with miniature and CG with a lot of attention.

The actual thing would have been wonderful, but the model building also conveys the beauty of the time and is wonderful.

The company's location is the red frame on the map above.

This time, the company agreed to take photos in the lobby and provided information about the building.

Thank you for your cooperation m(__)m

Chuo-ku is a summer festival season from early summer to midsummer. In each region, historical and distinctive festivals are held. It is a valuable folk event that conveys Edo culture to the present day.

 

Among them, the “Lion Festival” at Tsukiji and Namiki Shrine, which celebrates the “main festival” once every three years this year, is expected to be held grandly. In the first place, this festival, which is handmade by the local love of Tsukiji-cho, is peaceful and dignified, but this year it seems to be even more attractive.

As you know, [Tsukiji Market] in the town will finally move to Toyosu next fall, and this year will be the last time that market participants will join together to excite the festival. During the main festival, Miya portable shrine travels to the market to celebrate the prosperity of the market and pray for the well-being of those who work on the riverbank.

On the premises of Tsukiji Market, there is a shrine related to Kanda Myojin called [Mizu Shrine]. It was established as a place of worship for Mizukami, which was worshiped at its original location when the fish shore moved from Nihonbashi to Tsukiji. This shrine also holds its own ritual every year.

 

And at this year's Tsukiji "Lion Festival", the collaboration between [Nazuki Shrine] and [Mizu Shrine] will be realized. The extremely rare Shinto ritual will be carried out, with the portable shrine of both shrines lined up with memories of Tsukiji Market. Of course, it's the first and last.

 

Please take a look at this memorable ritual. Originally, "Lion Festival" was called "Natsukoshi Festival" and has the meaning of exorcism for a year. We hope that you will visit us to purify our evil spirits and survive this summer. And I would like to pray that this land will prosper even after the fish shore has been relocated.

 

 

The May Sumo Tournament was a place where you could feel the arrival of a new era with the victory of Teruno Fuji.

 

My Arashio room's only Makunai wrestler, Sokokuraiseki, was expected to be seen in the 7th front east, the highest rank....Unfortunately, it was closed on the way.

 

Sumo is harsh

 

I went to a training tour in front of the venue.

 

The strength of Sokoku Raiseki was overwhelming and seemed to be good.

 

It's worth a look.

 

We recommend that you visit the Arashio room for a tour of the sumo room.

 

You can also experience interacting with wrestlers!

 

 

Are you all doing well?
I'm a rat, Miko.

 

 

On May 30, I learned with 10 wonderful students in the "Edo Town Walking Guide Course". .
This is a course sponsored by the Chuo-ku Tourism Association and can be taken as one of the benefits of becoming a correspondent.

 

 

Lecturer is Masayuki Rachimi, the representative director of the tour conductor guide association and has been a guide for more than 20 years.

 

 

I started taking classes in April, and this time as a summary, I decided on my own course and actually tried to guide! For me as a beginner, I was nervous and seemed to be lean.

...That's because Mr Rachimi so far looked like a demon instructor. (Gomennasai)

 

As a result of discussions with everyone, we decided to guide the Kabukiza Theater outside Tsukiji in an hour and a half.

 

 

I was in charge of greetings at the beginning of the tour, explanation of the tour outline, and safety guidance, and started at Tsukiji Social Education Center!

  

(Miko's first appearance! I don't have a needle yet.)

 

An hour and a half, it was a dense time.
Dr. Rachimi sweated on his forehead more than anyone else, eagerly showed how to attract and delight the participants.

 

 

This is one of them.

 
(Upper: Photos taken with a guide course recommended by Dr. Rachimi, bottom: Photos taken from courses selected by students)
 

 

If you want to take a picture in front of Kabukiza, it would be nice to have a photo that shows the whole picture, though it would be nice to upload it.
 
In fact, even if you take a picture with people, the sidewalk opposite, where there are few traffic, is a secret place for photography.

I was told that the accumulation of such considerations would create satisfaction.

 

 

Harvesting through such learning requires technology to "convey the heart of hospitality". And it means that the more you have the desire to be pleased, the more your skills will deepen.

 

 

This time, we, who have been educated as a volunteer guide, will serve as a guide on this town walking tour.

By the end of the day, we will work hard to provide a guide that will allow you to enjoy more and like Chuo-ku.

 

We look forward to receiving your application.

 

 

　

"Akidate Chinu" is a work from 1960, but the area around Tsukiji River is a location (the work can be seen on You tube).

 

　It is a summer story of a boy who came to Tokyo with his mother (Nobuko Otowa) after his father died. At the beginning, the mother and child cross the Ginza street and Showa-dori from the Ginza 4-chome intersection, and head toward Tsukiji. The traffic is quite good now. The two pass through Kyobashi Elementary School at the time and cross the Shintomi Bridge over the Tsukiji River. This Kyobashi Elementary School was integrated into Tsukiji Elementary School in 1992, and the site of the school building is now Kyobashi Plaza.

　

　One day in summer, a boy (6th grade elementary school student) goes to Ginza with a girl he gets acquainted with and climbs to the roof of Matsuzakaya. At that time, I was able to see Tokyo Bay from the rooftop. After a while, they take a taxi to see the sea through Kachidokibashi to Harumi's landfill.

　

　In the movie, you can see the Tsukiji River before landfill, but you can see in children's conversation that water pollution was quite advanced.　Ginza was a short time after the war, and it was an "island" surrounded by rivers on all sides, including the Tsukiji River and Sanjuma Horikawa to the east, the Sotobori River to the west, the Shiodome River (Shin-Hashikawa) to the south, and the Kyobashi River to the north.　After the war, the Sanuma Horikawa was reclaimed by the rubble of the war in 1949, and was reclaimed one after another, and all except Sanumabori were turned into expressways.　The Tsukiji River remained until the end, but it was reclaimed before the Tokyo Olympics.

　

　The marriage of His Imperial Highness the Crown Prince (now His Majesty Ima) at that time was in 1959, and television has spread rapidly since that time. It's not good to see the Miset (three-wheeled vehicle) running. The Japanese economy has entered a period of full-scale high growth since this time, and Tokyo's infrastructure will be greatly modified (at least partially severely deteriorated) toward the 1964 Olympic Games.

 

　At that time, I was in Chuo-ku, Osaka City (then Minami-ku, integrated with Higashi-ku in 1989), but a considerable part of the city, including the river surrounding Semba and Shimanouchi, were reclaimed. Was It started around 1960.
