Former site of Matsuzakaya Ginza 6-chome Ginza, Chuo-ku

 

 On the sidewalk of Ginza 6-chome, Chuo-dori, there is a very important point in terms of "Chuo-ku Tourism Certification", "Choro-ku Training Center Monument".

 


 As you know, the Commercial Code Training Institute was opened by Arinori Mori as a private school in 1875, as described on page 46 of the Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia, and was later established as Hitotsubashi University. .

 

 ↑ I'm going to take the exam!

The reception will start soon.


 This area, where Matsuzakaya was located until last year, is currently under construction for redevelopment. The atmosphere of the construction site, which has been murderous forever, has become a good spot for sightseeing, but it is a white fence temporarily surrounding the area between Miyuki Street and Kojunsha Street, You noticed that creative and fashionable photos are printed.

 Even when Matsuzakaya was demolished, Hiroshige's ukiyo-e etc. were laid out, and it was just like a gallery-like structure that delighted pedestrians.

 


 On display from this year (?) The photo group in this group is a work of up-and-coming photographer named Naoki Honjo, with about 40 works taken from a panoramic perspective of landmarks in central Tokyo lined up.

 At first glance, it looks and feels like a miniature model, but it is an actual landscape shot with a large format camera using a unique technique called Aori.

 Some of recent digital cameras have a mode that allows you to take a miniature-like photo, and Naoki Honjo was the spark of this "miniature-style photo" boom, which was popular for a while.

 


 Tourist attractions such as the Imperial Palace, Tokyo Tower, and Wako Building in Ginza are also located everywhere, and where is it? Isn't it a pleasure to take a stroll around the corner of 6-chome under the autumn sky of art?
