FLOWERS by NAKED 2017

[Mido] February 9, 2017 14:00

 "FLOWERS by NAKED 2017 - Ritsuharu-" is Nihonbashi Mitsui Hall (COREDO Muromachi 1)

 That's the beginning. You can experience "the earliest cherry blossom viewing in Japan" in Nihonbashi.

  This event is for digital technologies such as projection mapping and CG.

 Therefore, it creates a fantastic space where you can play with flowers.

 As we stepped into the venue, the extraordinary world expands, beautiful and vivid.

  You can get drunk in the world of beautiful flowers.

  

 There is an event reception on the 4th floor of COREDO Muromachi 1, and when you purchase a ticket and go up to the 5th floor.

 It smells good from around here. When you enter the venue, you will first get a projection mapi

 I am surprised at the beauty of the video.

  After this, white artificial flowers shine, and it is full of dynamism that cannot be said.

  If you go further, it will be a corner where you can introduce various flowers with CG, but this is also a video

 I'm impressed by the beauty of it.

 I think some people don't like the beauty of fresh flowers, but virtual flowers are also available.

 In this way, there is something wonderful.

  

 And there is a bar counter, a beer with original cocktails and osmanthus.

 We can have dessert. This is exactly "hanami" (laughs).

 In addition, there is a shopping area where you can find a variety of goods with flower motifs.

 A lot of things were on sale. There were some places where it was somewhat crowded, but there were some places where it was somewhat crowded.

 The venue itself is spacious and has a peaceful atmosphere. Surrounded by the scent of flowers

 I took a leisurely stroll through the virtual flower world while watching images and flowers.

 Do you feel it? I think it's also recommended for a date.

On the first floor of Gallery Ginza in Ginza 2-chome, Masato Sakuma's solo exhibition "Dream of Cats in That Town" is currently being held.

The solo exhibition, which began in 1998, seems to be the 20th year this year.

Last year's solo exhibition was also introduced on this blog.

Among the works exhibited at the venue, the landscape painting with cats was a retro and nostalgic atmosphere, and it was exactly Sakuma World.

The characteristic colors and the sense of silence with the disappearance of the sign of the person spreads in the picture.

On the other hand, original drawings with new illustrations of books were also exhibited, and the atmosphere was different from "landscapes with cats" and it was fresh.

Mr. Sakuma was born in 1973 and is a painter and illustrator from Aichi Prefecture.

He has worked on many books and magazines, illustrations, CD jackets, advertising illustrations, etc., and is active in various fields.

The shop is open until noon, and at night it is open in another name and business style. 

Even in winter, on sunny days, the sun is pleasant and you can enjoy the resort feeling. 

At the time of the Olympics, athletes may come to the store.

 

The restaurant opens from morning to lunch hours and the name and the operation changes during night hours. 

Even during winter, you can bask and feel like you are in a beach resort on a sunny day.

Maybe at the time of 2020 Olympics, curious atheletes might visit the place.

Chuo-ku Tourist Information Center @ Kyobashi Edgran

[Marsha Horiuchi of Edo] February 7, 2017 16:00

I walked Chuo-dori for about 15 minutes from Nihonbashi and visited the Chuo-ku Tourist Information Center.

Located on the left side of Meijiya, many office workers visited this building to enjoy lunch.

A lot of sightseeing materials are lined up at the Chuo-ku Tourist Information Center on the first basement floor, and it seems that foreigners such as Chinese customers visiting Japan during this spring festival are also visiting.

Please take a picture of the center (sample sushi is well made).

Onari's famous store

[Asunaro] February 7, 2017 09:00

The first noon of this year is February 12.

From the tradition of Kyoto Fushimi Inari Taisha Shrine, Inari Shrines around Japan are located in various parts of Japan.

Fried oil, which is considered to be a favorite of foxes.

Dedicate something packed with sushi in fried oil.
 
For this reason, fried oil and inari sushi are also served at the dining table.

It seems that it has become slunk.

"Shinoda" is the name of a shop that sells Inari sushi.

A waka written by a legendary fox, Kuzunoha, to his son

 

If you miss it, ask and see it.
            The leaves of Uramikuzu in the forest of Shida

 

It is said to be because of Shida.

Shinota in Ningyocho. Founded in 1877.

It's a famous restaurant for Inari sushi.

Very well-balanced seasoning. Because it's not shy.

You don't have to worry about the juice going out even if you carry it around.

How about a souvenir of Ningyocho, a gift, or a companion to a trip?

◆Local Tenmonkan special exhibition "Edo's dress and excavated relics" is being held!

[Akira Makibuchi / Sharakusai] February 6, 2017 16:00

At the Chuo Ward Folk Tenmonkan (Time Dome Akashi), a special exhibition "Edo's Attendance and Excavated Relics" began on February 4 (Saturday). The Edo period bran, smoke tube goose, clogs, etc. excavated from archeological sites in various places in Chuo-ku are displayed along with Nishiki-e. The exhibition period is closed on Monday until March 20 (Mon./holiday) and admission is free. Click here.>>

  

0913_672_170204edoyosooi.jpgExcavation sites so far have spanned various places such as Nihonbashi 2-chome, Ningyocho, Hatchobori, and Akashicho. By displaying artifacts from various parts of the ward in artifact, it is possible to compare similar forms.

  

The theme is "Ituition." Regardless of gender, tools, decorations, luxury items, and footwear from the head to the feet are on display. Mirrors and hairpins are made of copper or glass, and some are decorated with fine decorations.

  

There are many kinds of red dishes, large and small, and tooth black supplies. It seems that cosmetics were put in a two- or three-tiered Seto container called Danju.

  

artifact, an umbrella framework, is also on display. It looks like bamboo, the pattern and bone are left in shape. There is an elaborate decoration on the handle of the sword called Kozuka, and it is unknown in detail whether it was used like a paper knife.

  

A large number of smoke tubes and mouths are also on display. During the Edo period, the smoking rate seemed to be high, indicating that most were made of brass and were of various sizes. It is said that a small accessory case made of copper with a width of 4 cm and a height of 3 cm is also rare. I don't know the purpose, but it is a miniature size with a choban lid.

  

A lot of clogs are on display at the feet. In addition to those for men and women and children, differences in form can also be seen. From these exhibits, it is a special exhibition where you can mainly feel the lifestyle and appearance of Edo townspeople. @ Akira Makibuchi
