At the special venue on the 8th floor of Nihonbashi Takashimaya, the exhibition "The Prince of Little Prince and I" is being held in conjunction with the release of a movie of the same name.

 

The movie "The Prince of Little Prince and I" is the first movie of the children's literature "The Prince of the Stars" as an animation, and will be released at movie theaters nationwide from November 21 (Saturday).

 

The exhibition will be held from Thursday, November 19 to Tuesday, December 1.

 

This exhibition is certified by the director of the movie director Mark Ozbone, and displays more than 100 items, such as puppet dolls used in actual shooting and clay dolls that became the prototype of the character image.

 

There is also a sales corner for making videos and limited goods that contain the production site, so that not only those who watched the movie but also original fans can enjoy it.

In the interview video of the creator who was playing at the venue, I was impressed that the comment "I wanted to create a very realistic picture book world" was exactly the work that was realized.

The fusion of stop motion animation and CG is wonderful.

 

You can take photos inside the venue.

　Earlier, Yasaburo Ikeda's book, "Nihonbashi Private Record," said, "Historically, if Edokko was born in the town of Edo under the shogun's knee, the current Chuo-ku People in the former Nihonbashi and Kyobashi wards were at the center, and in very old days, Kanda and Shiba were not Edo. Of course, Asakusa is also outside Edo. However, with the times, those who were born in Shiba and grew up in Kanda have also become Edokko, and the headquarters Fukagawa facing the river has entered Edo. " (88) quoted and introduced the claim.

 

　This means "original" and it is quite difficult to clearly define how far the scope of "Edo" was. At least it will be necessary to identify the time. For example, the so-called "Shubiki" was performed in 1818 (Bunsei Gen), so it was more than 200 years after entering Ieyasu.

 

　The May 2015 issue of the magazine "Tokyojin" (Urban Publishing) features a special feature titled "Walking the boundaries of" Tokyo's 35 wards ". Among them, a person named "Ishihara Takibi" wrote an article entitled "The formation of the 23 wards of Tokyo starting with the town layout of Edo." I would like to introduce this content because it is summarized in a brief manner.

 

　Ieyasu Tokugawa, who was ordered to develop the Kanto region by Hideyoshi Toyotomi, entered Edo Castle in 1590 (Tensho 18). When he won the whole country in the battle of Sekigahara in 1600 (Keicho 5), Edo, which was only a local cold village, rapidly developed as the location of the Shogunate.

 

　The scope of Edo was not clearly determined, but the official view of the Shogunate was presented in 1818 (Bunsei Gen). This mainly refers to the jurisdiction of the shrine magistrate, and was called "Zuhiki" because it was surrounded by a vermilion line on the map. In addition, the area under the jurisdiction of the town magistrate is surrounded by a black line inside it, and this is called "Sumibiki".

 

　Almost all areas of Chiyoda-ku, Chuo-ku, Shinjuku-ku, Bunkyo-ku, Taito-ku, Sumida-ku, Koto-ku, Shibuya-ku, Toshima-ku, Arakawa-ku, and Shinagawa-ku, Meguro-ku, Kita-ku, Itabashi-ku. It is about twice the area of the Yamanote Line area.

 

　In 1878 (Meiji 11), the “County Municipal System” was enforced. The 15 wards of Tokyo have been established. The breakdown is Kojimachi-ku, Kyobashi-ku, Shiba-ku, Azabu-ku, Akasaka-ku, Yotsuya-ku, Ushigome-ku, Koishikawa-ku, Hongo-ku, Shitaya-ku, Asakusa-ku, Honjo-ku, and Fukagawa-ku. .

 

　Eventually, in the Showa era, the city of Tokyo entered the 35th ward era. In 1932 (Showa 7), the surrounding five counties and 82 towns and villages (Ebara-gun, Okutama-gun, Kita Toshima-gun, Minami-Adachi-gun, and Minami-Katsushika-gun) were incorporated, and 20 new wards were established. Together with the previous 15 wards, it became 35 wards. Furthermore, in 1936 (Showa 11), Chitose-mura and Kinuta-mura in Kitatama-gun were transferred to Setagaya-ku, one of the new city areas. This area is almost equivalent to the current 23 wards of Tokyo.

 

　Then, in March 1947 (Showa 22), the 35 wards were consolidated into 22 wards during the reconstruction of the war, and in August of the same year, Nerima-ku separated from Itabashi-ku to 23 wards. .

 

 

I got a MAP of "Ginza (small) souvenir walk".

I heard that this MAP was created as a collaboration (Itoya-sama, Yamazakura, Post Office) during Autumn Ginza 2015. 

 

After having fun shopping at a long-established store in Ginza, heavy bulky luggage is hard.　

  

In such a case, if you send it at the Ginza Namiki-dori Post Office, Ginza 4 Post Office, or Ginza-dori Post Office, you can send it by pushing the landscape staff at the post office window until 17:00 on weekdays.　You can enjoy different designs for each station.

  

It has been confirmed that the landscape seal can be stamped at the post office window. Isn't it nice to put what you bought in Ginza in a box with the postmark of the post office in Ginza and send a present?

Ginza Namiki-dori Post Office is a Ginza-like landscape sign with the scenery of Namiki-dori.

The Ginza 4 Post Office is a landscape mark depicting the symbols of Hatoido, Wako, Ginza Line, and 4-chome.

The scenery mark of the Ginza-dori Post Office is reminiscent of willows, gas lanterns, and good old Ginza-dori.

    

First of all, "Ginza small souvenir walks Why don't you enjoy shopping and send them from these post offices?

 Here's the landscape mark I got.

The left is the scenery mark of Ginza-dori Post Office. It is a scenery where swallows dance on Ginza Street. The design with the willow in Ginza and the monument of the birthplace of Ginza is excellent. Right:

It is the postmark of Tokyo Ginza San of "Ginza Tori Post Office", which designed Benkei Musashibo in the Kanjin Book and the cityscape of Ginza. I think your sincerity and the elegance of Ginza will be conveyed to the gift.

 

 

 

At the show window of the Mikimoto Ginza 2-chome main store, located in the corner where "Namiki-dori St." and "Marronnier Street" intersect, you can enjoy the display "Precious Moments" that combines delicate paper craft and projection mapping technology.

 

It is said to be by an artist who is highly regarded worldwide, and a romantic story of two couples by projection mapping is set on a paper craft cut out one by one and elaborately made, about 5 minutes It unfolds over

At the show window on the Namiki-dori St. side, you can see everything from encounters to proposals, and on the Marronnier Street side, you can see the wedding.

This work "Precious Moments" is an original work made for Mikimoto.

This is a production planned as an alternative to the exhibition of the "Jumbo Christmas Tree", which has been held as an annual winter event at the "Mikimoto Honten" in Ginza 4-chome until last year.

The display production period is from Friday, November 13 to February 14, 2016 (Sun).
