On November 9th (Monday), I attended the Nanto Hotakai held at Nara Mahoroba-kan (1-6-2 Nihonbashi Muromachi 162 Building).

The story of the day was Takashi Kubo of Toshodaiji Temple.

The Nanto Hotakai is a subtitle called "Nara no Mind" taught by young Buddhist monk, a famous temple in Nara, where you can listen to stories from Buddhist monk at temples such as Todaiji Temple, Saidaiji Temple, Kofuku-ji Temple, and Yakushi-ji Temple.

The time is one and a half hours from 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm, and the place is on the second floor of the Nara Mahoroba Hall.

The capacity is 70 people each time, and it is a method of applying for attendance in advance. If there are many applicants, it will be a lottery.

This time, Mr. Kubo of Toshodaiji Temple, which was opened by Kanshin Kazumi in 759, the headquarters of Ritsu sect, heard a very interesting story about training and commandment with the title of "Let's Become a Bodhisattva" with an outstanding impact. Was.

At the Nara Mahoroba Hall, there are many events where visitors can learn about Nara's charms, including lectures on the history of those days through Prince Shotoku, lectures introducing Yoshino Omine in World Heritage, and classrooms in Japanese painting and sutra copying.

In addition, on the day of the event, the exhibition space on the first floor introduced Shimoichi Town and Kurotaki Village, and exhibited special products.

♦We opened the first shirts shop in Japan on Benten Street in Yokohama Seki.

　At first, I was doing business with foreign counterparts full of harbors.

It was burned by the Great Yokohama Air Raid and revived in Ginza in 1953.

 I've encountered a very affordable wagon sale for the first time.

There is a cloth tag attached to the neck inside Yamatoya's shirt.

At the "Shimaya Ginza Main Store" next to Ginza Mitsukoshi, the intersection of Ginza 4-chome, the 2016 edition of the "I can't stand by the owner" calendar lined up with faces toward the street.

It is a calendar for each dog type and cat type.

Here Ginza Shimaya offers stationery shops, office supplies, New Year's cards, ASKUL (ASKUL), seals, etc. On the first floor, we have a large selection of products from seasonal cards, stationery and miscellaneous goods, from stationery and miscellaneous goods.

 An annual mini-garden guided tour that takes a walk around the park with the guidance of a green adviser at the Pocket Plaza "Flowers, Water and Trees" in Harumi Triton Square. This month will be held on November 5th.

As the autumn color deepens, the 8th of this weekend is early winter on the calendar.

It is the season of "flower withering", but what I was interested this time was Marbanoki. It's a little strange flower. It blooms after deciduous leaves. The shape of a flower. A back-to-back two-flower flower shaped like a red starfish. Wonder 3 stimulating and spicy scent. (upper left)

The attention is, after all, the red (yellow) leaves of the trees and the fruit of autumn.

Yellow leaves such as Yurinoki and Saifuriboku in the United States, and autumn leaves such as Salsberg, Hasenoki and Natsuta add color. (Left at the beginning: Natsutsuta, right: Hasenoki)

Belled fruit in Himeringo Hanakaidou.

It is a tuft-shaped white flower and yellow fruit. It is said that it will ripen from yellow to orange to red over the next year.

Like last year, pleasant friends from Pansy Viola also appeared from the end of October.

This year, in addition to the orthodox "round valve", a unique flower-shaped "rabbit type" reminiscent of a rabbit with a long face, and an adorable small flower-like "extreme small ring" have been newly added. 

Rabbit-shaped viola collection 

It was a plant walk that gained new awareness while feeling the beginning of winter preparations in the appearance of flowers and trees reflecting the changing seasons. 

Junichirou Tanizaki's "Childhood" is quoted on the bulletin board for "Armi Bridge". I think the surrounding scenery is well described before and after this quoted part, so I will list it.

　Armor Bridge is one of the few railway bridges in the city at that time, and I think Shinohashi and Eitai Bridge were still old wooden bridges. I always stopped in the middle of the bridge and looked at the flow of water in the Nihonbashi River, but when I pressed my face on the iron railing and looked at the surface of the water coming under the bridge, it seemed that the bridge would move instead of the water flowing. I also crossed from Kayabacho, and always looked at a building like a fairy tale of Shibusawa's house on the shore of Kabuto-cho upstream with a mysterious feeling. The Nissho Building is now built here, but it was originally a Venice-style corridor and a Gothic Hall of Fame with pillars facing the water, in close contact with the stone cliffs, on the edge of the river. Who was the idea of building such a foreign classical hobby mansion in the middle of Tokyo in the middle of the Meiji era? On the banks of Koamicho on the opposite bank, there are many white walls of the storehouses lined up, and if you turn a little off that nose, it will be Edobashi and Nihonbashi immediately, but only that one section is away from Japan like a stone-plated West landscape painting. However, it was strange that it was not necessarily inconsistent with the surrounding water city, and that the cargo boats, horse-drawn boats, and daruma boats that came up in the previous flow were in harmony like a gondola. （73）

　One of the events of the whole museum 2015.
Ting Ting Pong Pong (OM CHAN TONE)
Held at OM CHAN TONE in Kishi Building 4-11 Nihonbashi Tomizawacho.

I visited the shop for the first time in a cafe bar, but when I was kind to respond and asked why rare Awa Tokushima liquor was there, it was a talk with my hometown.
I ordered a soft drink and enjoyed "Kendama" with the lady who just came.　

A good word was written on Kendama that was presented by the chairman of the Kendama Association, so I will introduce it.

"I don't panic, don't give up."

When I heard the story, the women also introduced the whole museum at the museum.
<The topic "Professional Support Group", Pompon Musume, is coming to the whole museum in Chuo-ku!　On the spot, if you tell us what you want to support, Pompon Musume will support you with all your might! ・・・＞I heard you came here after seeing it.
The lady went up to the second floor with support.

I also filled out my name and "what I want you to support" on the application form and waited for a while.
It responds individually to each visitor's "what you want to support".　It's like a doctor.　When I was called and sat on the sofa on the second floor, four very energetic daughters rushed in.
First of all, starting with an ale saying, "Celebrate Ginzo's more health-", like support for high school baseball, Zhanjiang Chacha Chacha Chacha Chacha Chacha Chacha, Zhanjiang Chacha Chacha Chacha Chacha, Chacha Chacha Chacharacha, and cheer dance. Was.

　Despite being overwhelmed, I was radiated a lot of energy, and I was completely fine. After the support was over, four people made a gate and sent it off.

　Everyone, when you feel blocked, it's a good idea to go to Pompon's daughter. I'm going to get better.　

It is a silver made that has become a fan of Ting Pong Pong. OM CHAN TONE, please plan again next year.

It seems that Pompon Musume is not stationed, but the telephone at the shop is 03-6206-2626, URL: http://www7b.biglobe.ne.jp/~omchantone.
