Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

　

　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.

　

A novel style with the theme of urban landscapes is attracting attention.

　

　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?

　

[Optimation of completion of redevelopment site]

　　It is scheduled to be reborn as a commercial facility similar to Midtown in November 2016.

　

　

 

 

From Friday, September 25 to Monday, October 5 at the 8th floor hall of Nihonbashi Takashimaya, "Mourning Toyoko Yamasaki Exhibition-Indomitable Coverage, Life of Passion Writers-" is being held.

 

Speaking of Toyoko Yamazaki, "White Giant Pagoda", "Splendid Clan", "Fareless Zone", "Two Motherlands", "Children of the Earth", "Sunless Sun", etc. With the background, many topical and problem works that do not stop once you start reading will come back to your memory.

Indeed, as you can see in this subtitle, he has lived a passion writer life through indomitable coverage throughout his life.

Personally, I love "Japanese shop curtain", which modeled on the kelp shop in Osaka Senba, where I was born, "Hana noren", "Bonchi", and "Medal of Women" in Osaka.

 

The items on display are the contents of the interview that Mr. Yamazaki made prior to writing, the progress of elaborate novels, raw manuscripts, videos that have been turned into movies and TV dramas, and personal items that have been loved.

"A valuable diary that spells youth during the war" has also been released for the first time.

Looking at the written coverage notes, stacked cassette tapes, and photos of traveling in China, Siberia and Western Europe, I once again realized the greatness of this writer.

 

Admission time is from 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. The last day is until 5:30 p.m.

On September 18th (Fri), New Melsa renewed its name and tenant, and made a new start as "Igget Mersa (EXITMELSA)".

.

.

Looking at the appearance in a distance, it seems that it hasn't changed so much.......、

.

.

After all, the feeling of the entrance has changed, and it is very beautiful.

As a tenant, I felt that the number of restaurants increased and the proportion of general stores increased.

Personally, I'm glad that you can enjoy the taste of "Ginza Furukawa" in the same place.

     In December 1918, Kafu moved to Tsukiji 2-30, Tsukiji near Tsukiji Honganji Temple, but before that, for a short period of about six months, a small house was rented in Tsukiji. I have.　After his father died in 1913 in 1913, it was in May 1915, where the current Ginza Capital Hotel is located at 1-6 Tsukiji, Kyobashi-ku. Furthermore, in 1916, for a short period of time, he rented a house on the banks of Daiji, the current Yanagibashi 1-chome. Kibikicho (currently Ginza 8-chome) was chosen after Tsukiji 1-chome and Yanagibashi, and was in September 1917. (Saburo Kawamoto, "Kafu and Tokyo"; 56)

 

　Therefore, it is necessary to organize the address history of Tsukiji, Chuo-ku in chronological order in order.

In May 1915, Tsukiji 1-chome

Taisho 5 (1916), Daiji Riverbank (currently Yanagibashi 1-chome)

In September 1917, Kibikicho (currently Ginza 8-chome)

December 1918, Tsukiji 2-chome　

In May 1920, he moved to Hebei-cho, Azabu-ku.　　　　　　　　　It will be.

 

     The life at Tsukiji 1-chome is described in an essay titled "Tsukiji So" (1916), but I would like to introduce Tsukishima and Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine.　Since "Shokutei Nijo" started in September 1917, it does not appear in "Shokutei Nijo".

 

If you have been sick for a long time, you will walk along the settlement in the morning and cross the Tsukuda and visit Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine to visit the day. Tsukuda Island Now has completely lost the taste of a fishing village, but it is a view that can be thrown away along with the small flag of a house selling Tsukudani, such as throwing an anchor on the banks of the house and drying a net in the eaves of a house. She rides with a woman who looks gorgeously on a boat. Sold the fisherman's daughter's daughter, but when she visits her parents' riddle, she is indulge in an unparalleled fantasy.

 

One rainy season is the rainy season, and this year, the stormy days Shikaba Sumiyoshi pilgrimage will not be neglected. From that time on, I spent half a day at the auditorium of Hatchobori, which crossed the back of Shintomi-cho.
