This is a rosemary sea, which covers the motif of "gifts and enjoy yourself."
Today, we visited Yuma Nihonbashi, a Japanese miscellaneous goods and handmade workshop on Ningyocho Amazake Street.
spinning top is the most important item of Keigo Higashino's novel "Newcomer" (which was made into a TV drama and famous for Hiroshi Abe's leading role). It is known as a model for the folk art store, Hozukiya, which handles this spinning top. It seems that filming was also performed in the store. Including that area, today we interviewed President Oda of Yuma Kogei Co., Ltd., a manufacturer of Japanese miscellaneous goods that is integrated with the shop. Mr. Oda is in front of the store. By the way, the shop is lined up by the wife of President Oda.
"Our shop is mainly made of original cloth. Our company is particular about Edo Komon and Edo Komon. Edo Komon is a play of words. It is said that the old people were playing in the back, even though they were frugal when they were frugal. Among them, only the auspicious pattern is selected and stylized. The company wholesales nationwide, but the shop displays and sells originals made by the company. It became independent about 30 years ago, and the shop has been operating here for about 25 years. The company has been certified for management innovation in Tokyo. The Tokyo Olympics in 2020 were just decided, and the emblem became a Ichimatsu pattern, so I applied for the idea that the demand for Japanese miscellaneous goods would increase. Questions are boiling about what Edo Komon is. Thank you very much."

↑ It's a small crest. It contains okame / hyottoko, "Kamawanu", and checkered patterns.
⇒ A bag of sake bags. A cloth bag. It has a color and shape that reproduces the oxidized sake bag.
"Is it a filming location for 'Newcomer'? To tell the truth, the drama setting up Ueuchi's top (pictured below) must be turned well. This is because the string and spinning top match well. At the time of the test, Hiroshi Abe couldn't turn his tops well. So I was practicing to turn it alone for about 30 minutes in front of the store. The actual performance is OK. It's also at the position where the camera is fixed! ・・ ・ ・ We, who was hiding behind the scenes for when we couldn't turn, was impressed. I'm applauding around me. I thought Abe-san was amazing, an actor ... "
"The props used for shooting "The hand dog that calls safe delivery and happiness" (pictured above) did not exist yet. In the novel, it was a dog strap, but it was said that it would not be a picture, but the dog version of the beckoning cat, that is, the one with the cat as a dog and raised his hand immediately, the creator and his wife (upper right below) I consulted with Mr. Abe in the photo). Since it is made by a single craftsman, you can only make 6 pieces in a day. Still, it sold about 10,000 units in four months. It's still selling. (And just when you said, the last one on hand sold was sold.) It was a product raised by a drama. Thank you very much."
"When filming the movie of" Kirin Tsubasa ", the glasses case of Komon (pictured at the lower right above) was actually used as a belonging to Takaichi Nakai. Actually, this was not the original design. The director changed it to the original because it was the same pattern as the one that was already used in the scene where Mamoru Yonezawa (Hexagon Seji), a forensic of "Aibo", who puts out the wallet of the pattern of the era small pattern (pictured at the lower left above). Was. "
"I'm grateful to Mr. Higashino. He came to the store without calling himself, and actually interviewed his wife using an IC recorder. The wife seems to remember talking, but she doesn't seem to remember her face. ・・ ・ Two sisters of Higashino came during the airing and thanked him. ・・ ・ ・ I didn't think one book would be so exciting. After that, a lot of amazing people came to "Kirin's Wings". There was a line before the store opened." ・・・
・・・ Recently, "Newcomers" have been broadcast in Taiwan. During the interview, two female tourists from Taiwan came to the store.
← A popular pouch. Beckoning cat pattern.
I'm a fan of Keigo Higashino. I read almost all of the works. On top of that, let me add a little bit.
Yuma's spinning top and strings are the most important items among the newcomers, but the spinning top strings themselves made here are not "the weapon." If you don't know or forget it, please check it out in the original! Chapter 8, "Customers of Folk Art Shops".
