1st Gallery of St. Luke's International Hospital "Healing Stone Exhibition" March 7-12

[Silver] March 6, 2016 09:00

 Do you know "Healing Stone"?

Usually, expensive crystals and bracelets are sold, such as the power of stones. These are called stone power.

The nice lamp processed with healing stones warmly welcomes you. It seems that you can spend the healing time calmly.

 In the exhibition sales held in December 2015, I found a part that looks like a natural flower or landscape, with a cross-sectional pattern of a natural stone, and processed it into pendants and loop tires. Is what you are doing.

These stones contain groves, flower fields, aquatic plants, etc., for example, agates with inclusions.

 And some of the photos of the work are available.

I see, it looks like a flower that blooms in the garden.

I think it is a wonderful work of art that is processed from patterns woven by nature.

 The blue-colored stone has a pattern like a landscape outside Paris.

I bought a loop tie made of tiger stone.

This time, I received a postcard that it will be held at the Daiichi Gallery from March 7 (Mon) to 12 (Sat), 2016, so if you take a walk, how about just looking at everyone?

From 12:00 on the first day only until 16:00 on the last day. Other days are from 9 to 17 o'clock.

 

 

 

TOKYO MARATHON 2016

[Marsha Horiuchi of Edo] March 5, 2016 16:00

February 28 was the world-class "Tokyo Marathon", with about 37,000 runners participating for the 10th time since it started in 2007.
It can be said that this event is made up of consistent cooperation from all over Japan. This year, we were blessed with good weather and out of about 10,000 volunteers.
As the number of foreign runners has increased, multilingual volunteers have been set up to enhance hospitality.
It was truly fun to interact with each player, Switzerland, the United States, Taiwan, U.K., Italy, China, Indonesia, etc.
I thought Sweden, Canada, Malaysia, and the Japanese were all lively and vital to each other.
Many foreigners have the word well-organized, and I think that the word "tired" suits many people.

 

The competition includes a full marathon, 10 km, wheelchair, and its course includes many tourist attractions.

 

Shinjuku Metropolitan Government Office → Iidabashi (5 km) → Perimeter of the Imperial Palace → Takebashi, Hibiya Park (10 km) → Zojoji, Shinagawa (15 km, turning point)
→Ginza → Nihonbashi, Kayabacho (25 km) → Senso-ji Temple → Hamacho Park → Tsukiji (35 km) → Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge, Harumi Bridge
→Toyosu → Ariake → It is Tokyo Big Sight (goal).

 

Thank you for the first day of spring.

Tokyo Marathon 2016 Support

[Silver] March 5, 2016 12:00

 We report support scenery of Tokyo marathon 2016 held on February 28.

In front of "Rigale Nihonbashi Ningyocho" near Suitengu Shrine.

A brave dance waving a big flag

The cute children also danced hard and cheered.

Oops, before that, "Chanogi Shrine" had delicious tea.

Under the expressway near Sakamoto Elementary School

"Edo Gei Kappore" had a high touch with the runner in between and encouraged them by dancing.

The runners seemed to be somewhat lighter and faster.

And it's going to be an economic activity again.

In front of "ADK Shochiku Square" in Higashiginza, we cheered the runners with Okinawa folk song with dance, and we also enjoyed the sights.

Even in a place near Irifune Bridge, cheering with drums has ended. I couldn't see it this year because my arrival was delayed.

I thought it was really wonderful to support people around the world with traditional Japanese performing arts.

Thank you very much for all of you who supported us.

Audrey Hepburn was called the "Eternal Fairy" and attracted many movie fans, and appeared in works that still remain in our memory, including "Roman Holidays".

She is still a very popular actress.

In this photo exhibition, about 30 monochrome works, mainly one scene and portrait works of her masterpieces such as "My Fair Lady", are exhibited and sold.

It seems that the items on display here are just as actual items because they cannot be baked.

roma06.JPG 

The location is on the 5th floor of the Ginza 4-11-3 Wind Ginza Building.

When I look at the photos, I remember the story of a movie I saw in the past for each piece, and it's hard to move on to the next one.

roma05.JPG

Opening hours are from 10:30 to 20:00.

The last day is until 17:00.

Thank you for your understanding of the photography in the gallery.

"Wappa" is a container made by bending a thin cedar board. It is "Wappa rice" in regional cuisine, Fukushima Prefecture.

"Wappa rice" of "Fukushimakan" was full of ingredients.

The rice is said to be "Koshi Hikari" from Fukushima purchased from contract farmers.

Delicious

Tokyo Marathon Course Walking 2016

[Silver] March 3, 2016 18:00

 Since the Tokyo Marathon started, I enjoy walking, shopping, eating, etc. on this course every year.

Walking from Ginza to Kyobashi, Nihonbashi, Ningyocho, Higashinihombashi to Asakusa on February 20, we enjoyed walking in the rain while chatting with Waiyagayaya.

In Ningyocho, there were many people who bought luxury rice crackers, Ningyo-yaki, Ningyo-cho Imahan sukiyaki croquettes, and those who enjoyed amazake in Futaba.

Unfortunately, it was raining on the day, so I couldn't take a beautiful picture.

 

On February 27, the course from Ginza to Tsukiji, Akashicho, and Tsukishima to Big Sight was held.

You can buy Shihose buns in Shiose or buy them.

In Tsukishima, they ate Monjayaki and ate delicious Western food at a Western restaurant Piasola.

The coffee after 850 meals is 200 yen. It was a delicious coffee.

Enjoy walking for health and beauty.
