Chibagin "Himawari Gallery"

[Marsha Horiuchi of Edo] February 26, 2016 12:00

I stopped by Chiba Bank's "Himawari Gallery" on the 4th floor of COREDO Muromachi 3.

That's because I saw a manga called "Image of the Phantom of Nihonbashi Monogatari" (Hiroyuki Mitsuo Exhibition).

Set around the Nihonbashi Kirin statue, youkai slid and fell with humans.
Is this a place where the wind is blowing, to me of the Gegege no Kitaro generation?
It was a very hot art.

In a stressful society, I feel that the time to immerse yourself in such a different world is very fun.

 

After having lunch in the neighborhood of Nihonbashi Muromachi, we took a break and went to an art space in different worlds.
Why don't you go out, these youkai are waiting until 3/21.
(Free admission, closed on Monday, and exhibitions seem to be replaced every month, mainly by artists living in Chiba.)

The store name has an impact, making it ideal for meeting places.

The spicy taste is perfect for me.

"Chomoranma" is the name of Tibet in Everest, the world's highest mountain in the Himalayas.

By the way, the large dumpling set meal for lunch is a set of 6 large dumplings (), rice, and egg soup, which is full of volume.

The stairs are spacious like elementary school stairs.

If you go to the third floor, you will find a stylish round window.

In a passage with no traffic, the clock is ticking time. 

I'm always busy, the wholesale company is quiet today.

From the top of the parking lot building, you will see the city.

The buildings of St. Luke Hospital Kachidoki Tsukishima Tsukuda are beautiful.

There was also a portrait of a star drawn only with a horizontal line (freehand) (Mr. Handa original), I was overwhelmed by the variety of techniques and expression methods, and I felt the passion of the author for a caricature that did not deform.

Kafu Nagai "Japanese clogs"

[CAM] February 25, 2016 12:00

 The other day, he appeared on "Chuo FM" and "I love Chuo-ku" and talked a little about "Hyowa clogs" and "Shokutei Nijo" in Kafu. So, I thought about what time I posted on this blog before, and when I checked it, it was on November 30, 2015.

 

 Then, for about three months, if you stroll around Chuo-ku on the right of the wind "Hyori Geta" or "Shokutei Nijo", you will become quite familiar with the old place names that have disappeared now. Become.

 

 I would like to record the previous sentence again.

 

 "I don't have any obligation or responsibility to do this, so it's just like retirement. As I sent that day, one of the results of devising various ways to spend money without going out to the world, do not need someone, do not need someone, and swallow yourself alone, was a wandering around the city. " (13-301) 

 

 And "Sunday clogs" is a walking note that spells what the wind felt in the daily "hanging walk".
 

 In the "Introduction", "I'm about a year old at the beginning of the summer of 1914, serialized in the magazine Mita Literature every month," says, "When I'm ready to go out to the world, I'm going to be a scenic view of the city, and there's no trace that has already been destroyed. " That's why he says, "Let's tell the story of the dream world that will be the tide of yesterday, and this small book, fortunately, will it be a seed of the later day or grass."

 

 Indeed, after that, the Great Kanto Earthquake of 1923 (1923), the U.S. military raid in 1945, and the Tokyo Olympics in 1964, it has been a long time since "the time when this paperboard is formed and it will appear in the world." Now, "I have been able to read this 9th anniversary, and I have already been destroyed.

 

 The scenery in Chuo-ku does not appear so much, but I would like to pick up some of them.

 

 "Edo famous places do not have landscapes or architecture that must be proud of for a long time. ・・ ・ Tsukuda Island, which relocated Sumiyoshi, did not endure the history of Sobashi on a few Kishi Himematsu's shore ... The corner was the only masterpiece of Edo famous places that was only sunny Fuji. . " (300)

 

"A row of trees is the most effective in downtown areas. Ginza Komagata Ningyocho Dori's willow tree shades and summer night stalls are worthy of a large industrial factory under the Fukidori star without a blowing winder. " (315)

 

`` Shirakawa Rakuo, a gunshot, is one of the Edo Meien, along with Koishikawa's Korakuen, is one of the Edo Meien, but nowadays the Navy's military members gather and drink. It's a thing of a club that drinks sake. " (320)

 

"Every time I walked along Nihonbashi Odori and looked at Mitsui Mitsukoshi and other high American-style shops that compete in this area, I knew what a businessman in Tokyo truly called Nihonbashi and Surugacho, if I had a legendary interest in this, I would have even thought of preserving the distant view of Mount Fuji from a busy city. (327)

 

"In discussing the waters of Tokyo, the first is the sea bay of Shinagawa, the second is the natural river such as the Sumida River Nakagawa Rokugo River, the third is the Edogawa River of Koishikawa, the Kanda River of Kanda, and the Otonashi River of Oji, the fourth is the Shitaya Shinsho Nihonbashi Kyobashi Shitaya, the fourth is the beauty of Shinindigo dyeing. (332)

 

 Walking and walking are now walking in the wind, would it be walking? Kafu still says that he should use money because he has money, but in my case, he said that he has no genuine money, and said, `` As I send that day, I will not go to the public and I will continue to walk around Chuo-ku in the future as a method of swallowing myself without requiring me. "
