◆ Fish Bank Water Shrine in Tsukiji Market

[Sumida Fireworks] June 9, 2015 14:00

 

Mizukami (landscape at the end of last year) in Tsukiji Market.

Here in Tsukiji Market, there is a place where torii and small shrine are located. By visiting here, you will be able to worship the "Mizu Shrine" main hall in the precincts of Kanda Myojin, far north.

 

"Mizu Shrine" is a god who has walked along with the history of the fish shore (fish market), and its beginning dates back to the beginning of Edo.

shrine hall was established in Kanda Myojin, where the Magoemon Mori clan, a fisherman who was brought from Osaka to Edo by Ieyasu Tokugawa and laid the foundation of the Nihonbashi fish shore, worshiped "Mizuhano no Mikoto".

 

After the Great Kanto Earthquake, the fish shore moved from Nihonbashi to the current location of Tsukiji Market in 1935, and at that time this place was the place of worship.

s_hanabi19-2.jpg 

For the next 80 years, Mizu Shrine has been watching people working on the fish shore.

s_hanabi19-3.jpg 

The Tsukiji area is a busy place, but this place of worship is a relatively calm place. It is always beautiful and seasonal flowers bloom, soothing your heart.

s_hanabi19-4.jpg

hydrangea is very beautiful now.

However, next year, the fish shore will be relocated to Toyosu New Market. In other words, it is very natural that this place of worship will also be relocated along with the fish shore.

s_hanabi19-6.jpg 

The stone monument engraved with "Hagiyama" on the same site describes the origin of the fact that Tsukiji was once the land of the Japan Navy, so it will remain here in Tsukiji. ...

s_hanabi19-7.jpg 

However, the "outside" of the fish market remains here in Tsukiji. Outside the back of the place of worship, the construction of the Tsuijishin Market, a facility that is scheduled to open before the market relocation, is being carried out, and the new history of Tsukiji is about to begin again.

s_hanabi19-8.jpg 

 

As a story of such a water shrine, what is just attracting attention now is the Tsukiji Lion Festival of "Namishi Shrine" outside the venue. At this festival, a large portable shrine of Mizu Shrine is carried.

s_hanabi19-9.jpg

Originally there was a festival at Mizu Shrine, but it seems that there were only a few times that the portable shrine of Mizu Shrine was carried on a large scale only after the fish shore moved to Tsukiji, and it was the first time in 25 years to imperial procession around Tsukijimachi except for the market festival.

 

It is rare for the portable shrine to take charge of the water shrine, and the so-called collaboration of imperial procession with the large portable shrine. The main festival of the Tsukiji Lion Festival, which is carried by the large mikoshi of Namiki Shrine, is held once every three years, so this collaboration is said to be "first and last" or "historical moment".

 

In the future, it will be difficult for the portable shrine of Mizu Shrine to be carried out in Tsukiji-cho, and this time I think it has the character of Mizu Shrine's "Sayonara Tsukiji imperial procession".

 

"Tsukiji Lion Festival" of "Namishi Shrine".

The mikoshi travels around the town during the imperial procession Festival on Saturday, June 13th.

Garden with a fragrant herb <Harumi Triton>

[Sam] June 8, 2015 14:00

R0033803RRSG.JPGR0033818LLS.jpg June 6 is the "Takumi" of twenty-four season old calendar. This refers to the time when the sun's sutra reaches 75 degrees, and refers to the season when sowing seeds of ears such as grains with awns and rice and wheat.

The annual "Mini Garden Guide Tour" takes a walk around the park with the guidance of a green adviser at the Pocket Plaza "Flowers / Water / Trees" in Harumi Triton Square.

The theme this time, held on June 4th, is "The garden with herbs."

Various herbs are planted around the "Flower Terrace", "Green Terrace", and "Slope Garden" along the Asashio Canal.

*Herbs are generally useful plants that are used for scenting dishes, preservatives, fragrances, dyes, insect repellents, odor repellents, etc., and have various medicinal effects as medicinal herbs, but originally It is also a broad concept that represents grass or herbal plants. However, there are some harmful substances that are highly medicinal and have side effects, so care must be taken. Seeds, fruits, roots, bark, etc. are often referred to as spices in similar useful plants.

*In a bite, the fragrance of herbs is broad, including citrus, floral, exotic, resin, spice, and tree.

*Lavender is one of the most popular garden items among herbs.

(a)Angstifolian system (also known as English lavender / Truelavender / Common lavender) (b) Stescus system (also known as French lavender / Spanish lavender) (c) Den Tata system (also known as Fringe Dravender) (d) Petrost ecus system (also known as race lavender) (also known as lavender) (ravender)

①Scent and vivid colors 2 Available for many purposes 3 The pleasure of growing is attractive.

*The so-called chamomiles (chamomiles / chamomiles) are representative of the annual grass "Jerman Camomile" with fragrance only in flowers, and the perennial "Roman Camomile" with a unique aroma on flowers, stems and leaves. There are two species, each of which is a separate genus of the Asteraceae.

I learned a lot through the Plants Walk again this time.

Among the herbs mentioned this time, the "curry plant" that emits a spicy scent like curry from the stems and leaves, "valerian", which is said to have a sleep introduction / sedation / relaxation effect, and the smallest of the flowers of the family Orth, "St. John's Worth", etc., were impressive.

By the way, "Lavender Aroma Tycho" is a horticultural species of English lavender.

Do you like Japanese sake?

[Pampon] June 8, 2015 09:00

Hello.

It's on top!

In this article, I will introduce you to my favorite shops. The shop is also a "sake".

This is an introduction of Bar that I would like to recommend to those who like it.

Do you know the "Sake Bar Kawaguchi Hotel"?

The location is 2-9-6 Nihonbashi, Chuo-ku (behind Nihonbashi Takashimaya). The landmark is a long-established store in Edo Nihonbashi.

It's "Anako specialty store Tamai Honten". The Kawaguchi liquor store is located in the alley behind the tamawe, and, in other words,

It is a shop with a small hideaway atmosphere.

GetAttachment6.jpg

This shop is actually a shop opened by Tamai Honten, and it seems that it was made by renovating the liquor store "Kawaguchi Shoten".

The 1st floor is a standing drink style, and the 2nd floor is a table seat. We have a selection of sake from all over the country.

It's a nice and cozy bar.☆

In particular, we recommend "3 kinds of sake set", which is 3 to 4 kinds of sake for each region, nearly 20 kinds in total.

You can choose the one you like from among them. Even if you are not familiar with alcohol, there is a chart table of taste in the menu.

So you can choose it with confidence.

This photo was taken when I went to drink with my father.♪

GetAttachment7.jpgGetAttachment8.jpg

The appetizers of the sake were also very delicious.

GetAttachment10.jpgGetAttachment9.jpg

When I passed in front of the shop on June 3, there was a sign saying, "I started summer sake."

"Summer sake" ... It's a very cool sound.

Since the 1st floor is a drinking bar, it is good to use it between meetings, book the 2nd floor and have one hand sake.

It's also good to have a deep story that you can't usually do.

I feel a little too astringent at the "Women's Association", but anyway, before the summer performance begins, I want to make sake.

I want to enjoy it! I recommend it to you.

The movie directed by Yoshio Naruse "When a woman goes up the stairs"

[CAM] June 7, 2015 18:00

 "When a woman climbs the stairs" is a work released in 1960. It was when Japan began to transform from post-war reconstruction to a period of high growth, and at that time, "bars" were about to reach its heyday. The title "Woman" played by Hideko Takamine is a 30-year-old widow who lost her husband in a traffic accident, and is hired at a bar in Ginza to play Madame.

 

 The main stage is the bar street that goes a little back from the main street, so there are not many scenes such as the main street of Ginza, but there is a scene where Hideko Takamine and Tatsuya Nakadai cross Miyoshi Bridge. Is the bridge beyond Miyoshi Bridge Shintomi Bridge? The Tsukiji River still flows under the bridge.

 

    The heroine's parents' home played by Hideko Takamine is Tsukuda Island. In the scene where a sick "woman" recuperates at his parents' home, the houses of Tsukuda, the scenery of Tsukuda's ferryboat, and the Torii of Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine appear. Chikako Hosokawa, a bar manager who visited the parents' home on Tsukuda Island, said, "I've come to Tsukuda Island for the first time, but there's something like a remnant of Tokyo in the past."

 

 Tsukuda's handover also appears in director Yoshio Naruse's "Dream every night" (1933) (can be seen on You Tube). The heroine Sumiko Kurishima, who works in a cafe with a child, lives on Tsukuda Island, so you can see the scenery of Tsukuda Island before the war.

 

    According to Shiro Toyoda's "What a Star under" (1962), Tsukuda's ferry boat just before the abolition and the Tsukiji River just before the landfill frequently appear, but I do not see it. It shouldn't be a DVD player. Unless the copyright has expired and has been released on You Tube, it's difficult to watch old Japanese movies.
