Edo's design Tsubame, Oedo Komon's long-established Chikusen

[The Rabbit of Tsukuda] July 5, 2016 09:00

The other day, I visited Chikusen, a long-established Edo Komon store in Nihonbashikobunacho, at a course of a long-established tour of Chuo Kumin College.

Correspondent blog Tjikusen July 1.jpg


I've explained it

This is Fumio Ogawa, the fifth generation head of the company.


Zhusen was founded in 1842 (Tenpo 13) when Kabuki Edo Sanza moved to Asakusa Saruwaka-cho. For 174 years, it has been spelled "model dyeing", which is hand-dyed every time with hand-carved patterns.

 

The dyeing was also featured in Tokyo's specialty in 1901, and was famous from yukata to Edo Komon.

After the war, it was relocated to Nihonbashi in response to voices from famous department stores and luxury kimono stores.

Chikusen's commitment is based on the belief of "Edo", inheriting the technology and color from the first generation, and conveying the taste of Edo today.

"But there is a pattern. No matter what happens, try to protect the pattern first."

It is said that he escaped the difficulties of the Great Kanto Earthquake and the Great Tokyo Air Raid.

I showed you a two-way yukata.

The heart pattern that the people of Edo enjoyed them abundantly in their daily lives while loving nature is revived vividly.

Thusen July 3.jpgThusen July 4 Swallows jpgA boldly expressed bird design that the Edo people liked.

I'm going to fly around the sky of the 21st century.

As the number of times we introduce wild birds that we meet in Chuo-ku on our correspondent blog from April increases, we will continue to introduce them.

I began to think that wild birds could not change beyond space and time from Edo.

How do you feel about it?

Thusen July 5.jpgAmong the types inherited from generation to generation, other wild birds are "crane, sparrow, stag, hawk".

We also want to have time to love the nature of Heisei.

According to Mr. Ogawa's assumption, the ogu's cloth suits those in their 40s and the swallow's cloth suits those in their 60s.

Hanada Art Understanding Children's Art Education

[Silver] July 4, 2016 18:00

This time, I will be accompanied by a junior high school student sketching party.

I received it from Art Hanada, who visited at the gallery's night party in May.

When I talked about wanting to refer to a collection of paintings called Yoshitaka Kuroiwa Painting Exhibition-Aiding for Landscapes-, I was pleased to agree and received a wonderful collection.

I feel that the works, such as "Summer Day Good Wind" and "Kisuge Morning", will also carry the refreshing Oze wind.  On July 2nd, I saw you again today.

Please see here for the "Night Party of the Gallery" in May.

"Kirin City Yaesu Underground Shopping Center" is a beer restaurant located in Yaesu Underground Shopping Center Minami No. 1, 2-1 Yaesu Underground Shopping Center.

kirinc02.JPG

As the name suggests, there are plenty of drink menus, mainly Kirin Beer, such as Ichiban-squeezed frozen <raw> (), beer cocktails, wine, non-alcoholic cocktails, etc.

kirinc03.JPG

Tarubu beer is provided in a special pouring method called "3 pouring".

The fineness of the foam and how it is raised are amazing.

Foams confine the taste of beer.

The food is also delicious, and beer goes on.

Wish on strips (Tanabata decoration of Tokyo Metro)

[Sunflower Rabbit] July 4, 2016 12:00

July 7 was Tanabata festival

A total of 11 stations on the Tokyo Metro are decorated with Tanabata bamboo decorations.

There are three stations in Chuo-ku: Nihombashi Station, Ginza Station, and Hatchobori Station.

Each station has strips and pens.

Anyone can easily participate in commuting or going to school along with outings.

Why don't you write a wish?

 

■Nihombashi Station (next to Exit B0 ... There is also the entrance of Takashimaya nearby)

■Ginza Station (Exit B9: the entrance of Sony Building)

Families, friends, couples, alone ...

A lot of people were writing their wishes.

(Of course, I also wrote it.)

Birthday dinner at Loojie in Ginza

[Mapo ★] July 4, 2016 09:00

To "Loojie" in Ginza, which I longed for this birthday.

 

losier8.JPGlosier6.JPGlosier3.JPGlosier4.JPGlosier5.JPGlosier2.JPG

 

At the restaurant, all photos are prohibited.
I handed the camera to the staff and had everything taken.
I'm really good!

 

This time, I was able to enjoy the meal without worrying about the photos.

 

All the dishes are artistic, beautiful and delicious.♪
Chef Olivier Shenyon came around.
I thought I would speak it in French.
I'm very good at Japanese, so I don't speak much (laughs).
He seems to be from the Loire.

 

Another great thing about Loojie's service is that
You can drink a lot of wine in a glass.

 

If the master doesn't drink much, he would give him a quarter of the glass;
I also had 1/2 and drank 8 kinds according to the dishes.
It was great to enjoy various mariages of food and wine.★

 

losier12.JPGlosier13.jpglosier10.JPGlosier7.JPGlosier9.JPGlosier1b.JPG

 

And even though the staff's service is perfect, there is no gap.
Everyone was very friendly and not stiff.

 

It seems that birthday cake is also made from a sponge.

It was very delicious to eat the next day!

There were so many kinds of cheese, so I could enjoy wine with cheese alone.★

I was able to have a very good birthday.

 

By the way, Prime Minister Abe's mother is near my birthday with me.
It was written somewhere that this year I had a birthday in Loojiie.
