　"I'm going to listen to it in the crowds of the station with an accent of my hometown."

 

 This song is famous because Takuboku Ishikawa wrote it, but recently there have been many antenna shops in Tokyo, and in conversations at each store, I can hear nostalgic dialects and feel smiling.

Recently, at the storefront in Kochi, "Oh, it's been a long time! For the first time in 15 years. I also heard conversations like ".

Also, at Nihonbashi Fukushimakan MIDETTE, we were able to hear fun information from elderly female customers next to each other, such as "The announcer of the commercial TV station is the daughter of sake brewing."

　Among the people who visit antenna shops in each prefecture, not only people in Tokyo, but also people in Tokyo.

Many people come out in search of their hometown dialects and tastes they are accustomed to since childhood.

As I walked while thinking about such things, I encountered a cheerful "Urikamome-san" at the intersection of Ginza 2-chome on Sotobori-dori St.

I heard that I had a friend I met at the antenna shop and enjoyed shopping and stamp rally again this year.

A tour of the antenna shop will make you healthy both physically and mentally. Let's continue to enjoy it. Silver

At Ginkei Salon & Gallery (Ginza 1-16-5 Ginza Mita Building 3F), an exhibition entitled "Three Unique Pencil Paintings Exhibition" has started.

It's on the map below.

 

The first floor of the building is "Fukutaro of Medicine". The entrance is the left arrow in the photo below.

The three are three pencil painters of Yui Nakai, Akitaka Ameya, and Toru Nishimaki.

 

Mr. Nakai has a work with the motif of "cat ears", Mr. Ameya has been inspired by novels by Ranpo Edogawa and Hisasaku Yumeno. Works are on display.

 

If you actually see the work at the venue, you will be overwhelmed by the fine drawing with pencils.

Also, I am impressed by the difference in style of three people.

For a long time, I was impressed by the work of transcendent techniques by pencil painters (a work that can only be seen in monochrome photographs at all), and I saw the works of three pencil painters with different motifs and styles. It was very nice to see it.

 

The period is from Wednesday, October 14 to October 22 (Thu), and the time is from 13:00 to 19:00.

Sunday is closed and admission is free.

 

 

 

After seeing an exhibition entitled "Four Months in Paris" at the Musee Yozo Hamaguchi Yamasa Collection in 1-chome, Nihonbashi Kaki shell-cho, I stopped by "Café Musée H" attached to the museum.

Even if it is said to be attached, when you open the door of the museum with glass in front, it is already a cafe, and the place that passes through the cafe is the reception of the exhibition, and it feels like there is a cafe in the museum .

The museum has an elevated capital high speed running in front of you across the road, but the sound is completely blocked and really quiet. After appreciating the works of copperplate painter Yozo Hamaguchi and photographer Shotaro Akiyama, we made tea quietly.

I ordered "Marble Soy Sauce Ice Set"

Suddenly "soy sauce" comes out because this museum was opened by Yamasa Soy Sauce Co., Ltd.

It seems that it was originally a warehouse of Yamasa soy sauce.

"Marble Soy Sauce Ice", which is a mixture of Yamasa soy sauce black honey-style soy sauce mixed with vanilla ice, has almost no soy sauce-like taste, unlike imagined, and has a slight aroma. On the contrary, vanilla ice is no longer crammed and enhances the taste I thought it was.

The black sesame ice (seasonal ice) that was attached together was also delicious.

It was a small cafe with about 9 seats, but the sun shines through the glass and a quiet and pleasant space was spreading.

"To commemorate the 50th anniversary of Junichirou Tanizaki's death, this exhibition focuses on the time when the literary writer Tanizaki spent in Chuo-ku, and focuses on his handwritten manuscripts and the scenery seen by Junichiro. We reproduce Nihonbashi during the Taisho era using photographs and Nishiki-e. In addition, we borrow a lot of letters and materials from Tanizaki and follow the roots of literary greats by introducing the world of Tanizaki literature along with the relationship with Chuo-ku along with the manuscripts and photographs of writers related to the ward.

On October 14, 2015, it is Tsukuda Island seen from the banks of the Sumida River in Akashicho. The number of high-rise apartments is increasing. Will the site of the former head office of Tsukishima Machinery become a high-rise apartment?

 

　

"Walk the coast of Akashicho in the digging tsutahi, described in the Shokutei Nijo on September 11, 1921. The feeling of the night view of Tsukuda Island is disappearing, but the image of "Manhattan Island in Tokyo" is finally disappearing.

 

 

Hello, this is Minori.

　

This is the story of a shrine in Ningyocho.

Ningyocho is the Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods.

There are Koami Shrine (Fukurokuju, Benzaiten), Chanogi Shrine (Fukuro-son), Suitengu (Benzaiten), Matsushima Shrine (Daikokujin), Suehiro Shrine (Vaisravana), Kasama Inari Shrine Tokyo Bessha (Shoujin), Sugimori Shrine (Ebisu God).

If you add Takarada Ebisu Shrine (Ebisu God) to this, it is popular for business prosperity because there are two Ebisu Gods in the eight shrines.

　

In connection with this, there will be Bettara City, which will be held on Monday, October 19 and 20 (Tue), mainly at Takarada Ebisu Shrine.

Bettazuke is a shallow salted radish pickled on a rice koji floor.

It is interesting to avoid those who have a malt so that they don't get koji when they take it home.

Some people who tried to put it on purpose appeared, and the shop also made a musical accompaniment saying, "Betara, Betara."

It seems that the city on the day before Ebisu-ko came to be called "Betara-shi".

　

It is said that the 15th Shogun Yoshinobu Tokugawa also liked to eat it.

Date and time: November 28 (27th for Saturday, 29th for Sunday, 29th)

　　　　※This year, November twenty-eighth is Saturday.

Location: Koami Shrine

　

[Chanogi Shrine (Hobukuro-son)]

In this area, the Nakayashiki of the Hotta family of the Sakura Domain in Shimousa (now Sakura, Chiba Prefecture), was enshrined as the guardian angel.

The tea tree planted around the shrine is said to be the origin of the name.

It is said to be the god of Hibushi because no fire has occurred not only in the mansion but also in the town for many years.

　

The Hotta family has been changed from Dewa Yamagata to 110,000 stones from the Sakura clan since 1761 (1761).

Fire extinguishing includes town fire extinguishing, regular fire extinguisher, and daimyo fire extinguisher, which are said to be Edo San fire extinguisher.

Among them, the defense of the Shimousa Sakura Domain is Edo Castle Nishinomaru.
