Comedy, actor, film director, and multi-talented "Beat Takeshi" took a quick look at it because this time it was "challenge art". The words at the entrance of the venue of President Mori of the office, "The act of drawing" is the only expression "is not work" are impressive.

What you can see when you enter the venue is that there are many men among the visitors. It's rare. There are no titles in the 100 pieces that were exhibited even paintings, prints, and collage works. It is a number of works that make you feel very enjoyable, whether it is innocent or "pure viewpoint like a child", that makes you laugh without thinking just looking at it. Please take a look at the first solo exhibition of "Takeshi Genius".

Tokyo Marathon 2016 Runner Edition

[Ginzo] 12:00 on March 2, 2016

 A day when Tokyo becomes one. This is the 10th Tokyo Marathon this year.

As a global marathon course, we will organize the world's top races starting from 2013 (February 24, 2013).

Joined the Abbott World Marathon Majors (AbbotWMM), along with Boston, London, Berlin, Chicago and New York.

The Tokyo Marathon has gained even more global recognition and attention, and is now the world's top race both in name and reality.
 

 The Tokyo Marathon, which has become a major marathon event in the world, is reported to have runners from 82 countries around the world this year. The number of participants is 36,500.

This year, on February 28 (Sun), we started supporting runners at the intersection of Suitengu.

Two of the first runners run through Mizutengu, which is about to be completed, to the right eye.

The next runner couldn't wait and came to the Kayabacho intersection.

This year, someone I know will attend, so I was waiting now or now.

For a moment, I was able to catch the camera.

From the Nihonbashi intersection, on Yaesu-dori, Kirin encourages Kirin to say, "The goal will always come!"

At Kyobashi, I had a beer drink, moved to Ginza, and looked for an acquaintance, but I couldn't find the other two.

In front of Tsukiji Honganji, where the fatigue of runners peaks, via Irifune Bridge,

There's a long line.

On the Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge at 36 km point, they also photographed themselves with Chuo-ohashi Bridge in the background.

That's right. Keep your breath and aim for the goal.

It was a day blessed with very good weather in Japan. As soon as possible, I am looking forward to the Tokyo Marathon 2017.

 grand Torii gate stands on the banks of the Sumida River at the entrance of Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine Shosando.

It was once removed due to aging in October last year, but on February 26, a brand new grand Torii gate was erected.

Previously, it was a green-blue color (upper right), but this time it is a bright red-painted wooden (upper left).

It's a new dress.

When I got on the water bus and approached Tsukuda Island, grand Torii gate entered the view against the backdrop of the high-rise apartments of Okawabata River City 21, and it was a landmark of Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine, but after the removal I couldn't deny the feeling of loneliness, but now I feel calm.

At present, white, peach, and red plums are best seen in the precincts.

Ryujinja Shrine is the largest of the Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine precinct shrines and is known as Ryujin-sama and Benten-sama.

Ryujin is a white snake, and since Benten's angel is also a snake, Reisai Festival is held every Sunday near the Snake Day from late March to early April every year, and the cherry blossoms are on the precincts.

This year, Sunday, April 3 "Ryujinsha Reisai Festival" (11:00-Daisai ceremony) "Sakura Festival" will be held on April 2nd and 3rd.

 

 

 

Tokyo Buck

[Coropockle] 18:00 on March 1, 2016

Today is a guide to Tokyo Buck, who I use for accommodation every time I travel.

The location is a good location just on the left right after crossing Kachidokibashi toward Harumi from Ginza, and a 2-minute walk from Kachidoki Station on the Oedo Line.

 

The exterior looks like an apartment.

The interior is a condominium-type building with an outer corridor.

The room is spacious and spacious, and you can take off your shoes so you can spend a comfortable time.

Despite the cheap price, it may not be difficult in Tokyo to have such a large room.

 

In fact, the location here is very convenient.

There are not only supermarkets and two convenience stores nearby, but also many dining places.

You can enjoy Tsukiji for a morning walk and Tsukishima at night.

In addition, a few minutes on foot from the hotel, there is a tomb of Jippensha-Ikku, which is familiar to the Chuo-ku sightseeing test examiners.

In addition, buses bound for Tokyo Station and "Edo Bus" stop at the stop in front of the hotel. It's a perfect environment.

 

At the time of the Tokyo Olympics, there is no doubt that it will be a very popular place because it has excellent access to the competition venue.

We look forward to further development.

 

 

 

Sasaki Tsuyafukin

[Oldrose] 18:00 on March 1, 2016

I went to Sasaki Shoten, which was introduced on TV last year.

 

I'm going to pass by and overlook it,

I didn't know until I read the "Ginza History Walk Map".

 

Ryusei Kishida is in "Shinko Hosoku Ginza-dori"

"Tsuyabukin no Sasaki is old, of course, there is a Dai-Kagura in this store every year.

It was used to come to see, and I went to Sasaki every year on the night of seven herbs. "

 

I also bought a “fuck”.

It feels like a yellow towel, but it is good to use it to polish wood products such as pipes from the Meiji era.

There are now orders from all over the country.

 

Sasaki Shoten is a long-established smoking equipment company founded in 1868.

It is said that there is no one who does not know if it is a pipe enthusiast.
