I enjoyed ukiyo-e like that.
On the way, at Yamamoto-noriten, we saw seasoned laver, and at Eitaro Sohonpo, saw a wonderful signboard and book, and purchased candy from Nihonbashi Bijin.

In addition, I've also seen pictures of "Bikunihashi Snow", "Tsukuda Shima Sumiyoshi Festival", and "Kyobashi Takekashi" at Akiba Pharmacy in Kyobashi.

Autumn-season Japanese sweets <Eitaro Sohonbu>

[whatever] September 6, 2015 14:00

 The sultry heat has returned in recent days, but the sun has begun to gradually decrease, and it is around this time that I feel the sign of autumn. Who said, "Autumn of appetite." Certainly, I found a delicious raw confectionery at Eitaro Sohonbu in the Mitsukoshi Nihonbashi Main Store.

A large chestnut is round and round.

The existence of Koshian is modest, but it doesn't fit well. 

When chestnut sweets begin to appear, you feel autumn.

- Mitarashidango-

I don't think it's just a fool. 

I didn't know for a moment what was going on, but the bonito of "Ninben"

(I remember that it was written as "Samurai Bonito" in the showcase....)

It's covered. 

It seems that this will be sold from early autumn to early spring.

Mitarashi dumplings with dashi were delicious.



 The long-established taste of Nihonbashi is stable and incorrect. I recommend it to everyone with confidence.

What is on display is a portrait of a Japanese artist, and only the author thought carefully about the "airness as a writer's character", and you can feel the individuality and atmosphere of each artist. It is a work that can be done.

Let's enjoy the feeling of Venice in Tokyo♪

[Yuyama also only] September 5, 2015 09:00

 "It's been a long time! How are you?"

I met Mr. Old Rose, an acquaintance, in a conference room in a skyscraper building at the Yaesu Exit of Tokyo Station.

She is Fresh Woman, a correspondent of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association. (I'm sophmore!?) )

On the day of the event, there was a lecture of the boating guide workshop.

  

The lecturer is a teacher of the NPO "Mizuto Tokyo Creation Association".

 

From the Nihonbashi dock, go down the Nihonbashi River to the Sumida River. Look at Eitai Bridge poorly, go a little back up the Sumida River, and go upstream from Yanagibashi to Kanda River.

Then cross the Ochanomizu Valley, enter the Nihonbashi River again in front of Iidabashi, and return to the Nihonbashi Pier. ~

 

 The course time is one and a half hours. There was a break on the way, but the flowing commentary seemed like I was on a boat.

 

 Two days later, I got on a boat from Nihonbashi Pier on a hands-on experience. Mr. Old Rose and I have one flight.

1 boat guide

 

 After boarding, wear a life jacket. My heart is excited.

 The teacher at the time of the classroom is the guide. It was a beautiful commentary on the desk, but the actual boat is quiet without noise in the city. The sound of the ship and the sound of the waves

The voice of the guide was a pleasant rhythm, and it was 1 hour and 20 minutes in no time.

 From the fact that Komura of Musashi Country became a world town that is strong in defense called "Edo Castle Sosei", and after the Meiji Restoration until the early Meiji era

It is clear that the mainstream of logistics was boat transportation.

 It's not a gondola, so it doesn't shake. If it starts to rain on the way, a white rain feather (!?) Will be distributed to everyone and will not get wet.

 There are many rivers and diggings in Tokyo, such as the Kamejima River, Onagi River, and Tate River, and it's like Venice! ? I didn't know it.

 

 Tokyo, seen from the river, is a view that cannot be seen in everyday life.

 Looking at the passing of the Shinkansen, Shohei Bridge near Akihabara.

Marchecute

Look at the red brick marchecut to the left and see the stone wall of outer moat Edo Castle. And Nihonbashi.

 

 I had a relaxing time.Nihonbashi

 

 After disembarking, we have lunch with Mr. Old Rose. I waited a little side by side outside the tempura meal "Kaneko Hannosuke", but as soon as I was talking about the boating guide, my turn came.

Freshly fried tempura and all-you-can-eat squid, kinpira, and pickled chopsticks. The volume and taste are perfect. It was a shop worthy of line. Another sister store I went to after dinner. It was a long line.

 

Robot Pepper

At the entrance of the Mitsukoshi Main Store, we greeted the robot Pepper, and after purchasing a cute Pochi bag and Japanese paper tape with the newly renovated Japanese paper "Haibara", I returned home with a silver brush.


Nihonbashi Shopping

 

 

◆There is a history here in Chuo-ku (63) Visit to Basho stone monument in the ward

[Akira Makibuchi / Sharakusai] September 4, 2015 14:00

In the early Edo period, Matsuo Basho (1644-1694), a haiku master in the Edo period, explored Shofu called "urban haikai" and flourished as an Edo school. Sanpu Sugiyama, a fish wholesaler in Nihonbashi, who was a disciple, supports both physical and mental aspects. One of the Jujutsu Shomon, Enomoto (Takarai) and his corner set up a mansion in Kayabacho, and Hajin Hayano, who studied by Buson Yosa, lived in Nihonbashi Honishi-cho, and Chuo-ku is also related to Basho. It is a place. I would like to visit Basho stone monument in the ward.

 

0913_63_150903basho.jpgThe stone monument (pictured above) is located at Nihonbashi Funasa in Nihonbashi Muromachi.

 

  "Hakuya Matsuo Momo Aojuku Spring,"

 

In 1679 (1679), Basho's 36-year-old verse. According to the signboard on the side of the monument, "When I was 29 years old in 1672 (1672), Edo came out of Iga Ueno, and for eight years until 37 years old in 1680 (1680), Taro Ozawa of Odawaracho (Basho Monto, Haiku Goshaku) lived in a rented house. " The haiku title at that time was peach blue.

 

The stone monument (center photo) on the south side of Kameshima Bridge Nishizume in Hatchobori is located in the center of the photo.

 

  "Chrysanthemum Blooms and Stones in Ishiya"

 

In the fall of 1693 (1693), a work of Basho's 50-year-old late year. Did you write the poem that chrysanthemums bloom between the stones of Ishiya facing Horiwari, saying "at Hatchobori"? This phrase is also featured in the lyrics of the illustration "Mitsuhashi" of "Edo Famous Zoukai".

 

The stone monument (bottom photo) was built at Hojuji Temple in front of the south gate of Tsukiji Honganji Temple.

 

  "How many Buddhas are the beginning of Otsu-e's brush?"

 

On New Year's Day 4, 1691 (1691), Basho 48 years old. Otsu-e is a popular painting sold at Mii-dera Temple in Tsu, Oomi National University. It began with a abbreviated Buddhist painting for the worship of the common people, and was greeted by the world as a souvenir along the way. "(Kojien). The artist of Otsu-e says that New Year's Day was absent from work. So he wrote this phrase at the beginning of the book on the 4th. @ Akira Makibuchi
