At the beginning of June, Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine received a guide with "Katashiro". "It's already a time of exorcism over summer," and I'm surprised at the speed of time.

June 30 is a milestone day of six months. This day and New Year's Eve have been regarded as an abomination day for a new day, and an event called "great exorcism" has been held to remove the sins and filth that had been committed without knowing.

Chinowa is displayed in front of main hall. As you may know, there is a legend that "Thank you for the future of Sumin, saved from the plague by the Chinowa given by Susanoo-no-Mikoto," and it is believed that such a tradition was spread to the private sector and became the basis of today's Chinowa. (Explanation of Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine)

This is my first time since I have never been able to attend the great exorcism over the summer. I'm a little excited. It is said that if you write your name in "Katashiro", breathe in and transfer your sins and filth to this "doll", you will be purified if you bring it to the shrine on the day of great exorcism and have it purify it. Nearly 50 to 60 people gathered before 2 o'clock before the start of "great exorcism", and all men were in suits, so I came in light clothing, so I was a little ... a participant was given a white envelope, Some of them were finely cut dolls (I thought it was like a blizzard on the stage). When I asked the neighbor who seemed to know, "After a congratulatory word, purify my body." I'll go through Chinowa, visit, and line up. After "great exorcism's congratulatory words," he put the distributed dolls on his body and purify them. Finally, Mr. chief priest broke the white cloth into eight, and this purified the filth of this year half. After that, I was told that I had a direct meeting, so everyone went to shrine office, and I was invited by the locals and stepped into shrine office for the first time.

After Mr. chief priest's greeting, I had sacred wine and tasted the hors d'oeuvres. When you are rude, please get to "Nihonbashi Benmatsu's red rice lunch box"! ! (I'm sorry for my Tamagushi fee.) ・・・

What will happen to the price you paid? I asked you. It is said that after purifying the Ujiko together, it will flow to the nearby Tsukuda River.

It's my first experience, but I feel refreshed in my body and mind. If you have time, please come to a shrine near you. A new day of six months begins. Let's do our best.

　On July 1st, if the people around you suddenly suddenly think about something as "Zawazawa" during work, please

A large number of houseboats descending the Sumida River.

A large fleet that goes under Kachidokibashi. It seems that twenty ships have passed by.　On the other hand, I kept pressing the shutter on my mobile camera, thinking what the event was.

During the lunch break, if I was expecting the houseboat I went out to return, a group of about 40 people took a walk on the Sumida River Terrace.

If you ask, it is a tour organized by Tokyo.

It's fun to take a walk along the riverside.　

But be careful about heat stroke.　We recommend that you avoid walking during the day and take a walk in the cool evening.

We recommend taking a walk from Higashinihombashi to Kachidokibashi, or on the other hand, at the arrival point.

In the case, the houseboat event was the event of Torigoe Shrine.　If you are interested, please click here.

"LAST Summer The Bergen" will be held at Plantan Ginza from July 1st to 8th.

・

After finishing the business under the name of "Plantan Ginza", the store name will change from January 2005, so it will be the last bargain as "Plantan Ginza".

・

I'm sorry.

"To my sister," Jinko Ohashi.

In the TV drama, "Living Notebook" is about to be launched.

There was a publisher building that she and Yasuharu Hanamori started in Ginza Nishi 8-chome.

It seems that Mr. Hanamori had a strong will to have a publisher in Ginza.

Beginning with "Style Book", it is the current "Living Notebook".

Now the famous product test is gone, but it's gone.

For me, Mr. Hanamori's "Ichisen Gorin Flag"

Yoshiko Ishii's "The smell of omelets under the sky of Paris flows."

In addition, the excitement I read when I was young, such as "Arabama Monogatari", "To the Beautiful You", and "Osoi Twelve Months", is still clear.

The shoe store that Mr. Ohashi liked was the Washington Shoe Store.

It is said that the founder named it "Washington Shoe Store" because it ran a grocery store on Washington Street in Portland, Oregon.

In the past, there were many large shoe shops along the Chuo-dori in Ginza, such as "Washington Shoe Shop", "Kanematsu", and "Diana".

Mr. Ohashi, too, wasn't he?

According to Kojien, Yukata [Yukata] stands for "Yukatabira". A single cotton garment (Hitoe) worn in summer, mainly in white background dyed in blue. Summer season language. Yes, it is.

The "Yukata Museum" is located near Ningyocho Station. Through the tour, I felt that the feelings of the old people (wearers, creators, sellers) about yukata were transmitted again.

Keisaburo Shimizu, director of the Yukata Museum, explained the exhibition in the museum on the 2nd floor of "ZOME" opposite "Yukataya Sankatsu", and the third son of Kotaro Shimizu, a living national treasure. When Mr. Shimizu joined the company, "Sankatsu dyeing" was synonymous with a high-grade yukata, and I heard that if he gave out elaborate and elaborate patterns, customers recognized the value and paid for it. . Kotaro Shimizu is a craftsman of longitamoto dyeing, and his skill was designated as an important Intangible Cultural Property.

It is said that Sankatsu of the company name was the company name of the company, but in connection with the name of the first founder, Hanshi Amano, the main character of Kabuki "Tsuyoyome Mai Kinu" (Hata Onnamaiginu) We also heard about the story of "Hanan Shichi and Sankatsu".

The area where the company building is located is Sakaimachi and Fukiya-cho during the Edo period, and it was an area that existed for about 200 years until Nakamura-za and Ichimura-za were relocated to Asakusa Saruwaka-cho due to the reform of Tempo. On the west side of Ningyocho-dori is an explanation board of the ruins of the play town in Sakaimachi and Fukiya-cho, and on the east side is a Genji store that became a model of the Kabuki "Yonasuke Ukina Yokogushi". There is a monument and an explanatory version of Genyadana. It is also famous for Hachiro Kasuga's "Otomi-san".

July 7th is "Yukata Day" every year.
In the "Summary column" of the "Chuo-ku Machikado Exhibition Hall List", there is a description of the works of the living national treasure Kotaro Shimizu, the dyeing process of Yukata, dyeing tools, sumo yukata, etc. You need to make a reservation by phone for the tour.

While having a good meal at Nakatoro-don breakfast at "Nakaya", the inside of the hall is not like this, but the stomach is filled and the restaurant in the hall market walk while having a ambition for lunch is not like this.

Then I found two egg-yaki shops facing each other.

Sushitama Aoki (left) and Daisada (middle)

Is it rare to worry about which one to choose because my stomach was filled? Choose Aoki's Edomaki

It's similar to Datemaki and very delicious!

I'm going to buy Osada's fried egg.

It's juicy and very delicious!

There are many egg-yaki shops outside the venue, but be sure to go to Dai Aoki Sada before moving! ! ！

In addition, my stomach was filled and I took a walk to Hamarikyu to have the best lunch (continue to the 3rd session).
