An exhibition of the "Mitsui Family's Hina-sama," which tells the coming of spring, is being held at the Mitsui Memorial Museum in Nihonbashi until April 2.

　

According to the literature, "Hina play" is said to have existed since around the Shohei period (about 1070 years ago). Hina doll
When it was done, it was simply made of paper of men and women, and it was not necessarily a play only for women.
The fact that boys also played is in the "Goods and Classes". (From the catalog of Nara Prefectural Crafts Association)

　

According to the dictionary, "Hinamatsuri" is a celebration of the growth of the family's girls at the Hina doll festival on March 3rd.
With the hope that the children will be elegant and beautiful like the Heian nobles.
It is said that dolls representing the Emperor, Empress, and those who serve the court, dressed in beautiful Heian period costumes are displayed.

　

If you take a step into the museum, you will find a variety of tea bowls from the period, and if you like tea, you may be a coveted dish.
And there are many of the chicks of Meiji period, and I am surprised by the delicate skill of his work.

　

In particular, the chick decorations in Photo 2 are 3 meters wide and 5 steps high, and it is said that they are calm in gorgeousness.
I thought it was such a thing.
Hina doll in Photo 4 is a master craftsman at Nihonbashi Jukenten, and 5,6 dolls are works by master craftsman from Kyoto.
Photo 8 shows the heart of Wabi, a villa run by the Kita Mitsui family in the Koiso district of Oiso, Kanagawa Prefecture from the middle of the Meiji era to the early Showa era.

Last fall, a product hit at stamp rally Antenna Shop in Chuo-ku, and challenged the Nihonbashi version with "Dream again." I came here right away. It starts at 13 o'clock. First of all, go to Toyama-kan at the base of Nihonbashi.

　

I purchased 750 yen of zodiac rooster made of Gokayama Japanese paper, 300 yen of mini hina hare, and 343 yen of trendy amazake. Next, we headed to Nara Mahoroba-kan.

　

Here is Kinako Cream Daifuku 226 yen x 2, okara 160 yen.

　

The third one that bothered me was the Nihonbashi Shimanekan.

　

In front of "Mie Terrace", a sister called "Today February 22 is Ninninja, Ninja Day" was invited by a sister called "Iga Hojicha" and tasted it delicious, so this is also 300 yen.

　

　

I decided to have a late lunch at the next restaurant. I've always wanted to look into it once, but it's the first time I don't have a chance. Seasonal local oyster gratin, risotto, and raw oysters are attractive. I got lost and decided to make it "Matsusaka Italian". This is a set of "meat sauce using Matsuzaka beef" and is 1800 yen with soup, salad and small bowl.

　

Because it faces Chuo-dori, people passing through the menu and the inside of the store. The table, which had been two sets, was almost full. From 14:30, there was "Ise Udon" at Cafe Time in addition to "Dolce and Drinks". It's nice for those who missed lunch.

　

After a break, go to Nihonbashi Fukushimakan. "San Fuji of 500 yen with 6 pieces" was attractive, but I gave up because it was bulky and heavy. I'm sorry to receive only the stamp.

　

The last is Nihonbashi Nagasakikan.

　

"There is a reason Maruburo" 378 yen and get it right away. Nagasakikan is the first anniversary of opening in March, and there is an event every day from March 1 to 10. Please take a look. 15 o'clock. Oh, I forgot my coffee!

There are many shops with restaurants, so it is recommended to take a walk + lunch to see Nihonbashi Burari.

　

In the Nihonbashi area, antenna shops continued to open, making it the second largest number of shops after the Ginza area.

If you collect stamps from 6 stores and apply, you will win luxurious prizes.　

1st prize 6 prefecture specialty product set 6 people equivalent to 12,000 yen

2nd prize 6 prefecture special product set 12 people equivalent to 6,000 yen

That's right. The application deadline is February 28. Please hurry.

　

 

 

　

　Early blooming Okanzakura (Okanzakura), which is planted on the south side of Eitai Bridge Nishizume, is gradually beginning to bloom.

It is an impression of blooming much earlier than usual.

It can also be seen on both sides of the east filling.

Okanzakura is a hybrid of Kanhizakura and oshima cherry, and is a large tree with a height of about 10m.

I hear that the tree shape often spreads greatly.

The light red petals are round and large, and can be seen in fine cuts at the tip.

Japanese white-eye is coming to suck the nectar.

 

 

On February 18 (Saturday), we participated in a lecture on "Working Experience Archeology" held at Nara Mahorobakan, an antenna shop in Nara Prefecture at 1-chome Nihonbashi Muromachi.

This is a joint lecture of "Special Display" Yamato Warriors-Kofun period's Weapons and Armours-" & "Working Experience Archeology" currently being held at a museum in Nara Prefecture.

The venue was on the second floor of the Nara Mahorobakan, and the lecturer was Toshiyuki Kitai, the chief curator of the Nara Prefectural Kashihara Archaeological Research Institute Museum.

This is a special display "Working and Experience Archeology!" Held at the Nara Prefectural Kashihara Archeology Institute Museum In conjunction with "Yamato Warrior - Kofun period's Weapons and Armours", a panel exhibition introducing this exhibition is also being held at the Nara Mahoroba Hall, where Mr. Kitai, who was in charge of planning this special display, will explain the highlights of this exhibition and talk about behind-the-scenes stories from planning to holding the exhibition.

It took about an hour and a half, but various things, such as the difficulties and ingenuity of conducting an exhibition where replicas of the exhibits and the exhibits, and the impressions of the blind who experienced the "Saru Exhibition" I was impressed to hear the story.

For healthy people, I thought the opportunity to be exhibited at the museum was valuable and a wonderful attempt.

By the way, on the first floor of the Nara Mahorobakan, a panel display of "Yamato Jizo Jufuku Sacred Ground Tour" is being held.

"Yamato Jizo Jufuku" means that Fukutoku is awarded by visiting the guardian of children and travelers of Jukaji Temple, where the attractive Jizo Bodhisattva in Nara Prefecture is enshrined.

This panel exhibition will be held until February 28 (Tuesday).

Saturday, February 18th, at Marriott Tobu Ginza Hotel

The 9th Chuo-ku Tourism Association Tourism Certification Test was held.

　　

A lot of people went to the test site with a sense of tension.

　

I couldn't sleep well the day before, and I went to the test site.

When you head to the entrance

The smiles of the tourist association staff were very nice.

Surrounded by a smile, he relaxed my tension.

　

Stay calm and go upstairs and take a break.

　Will it be displayed at the wedding reception?

　I thought that the customers who receive this candy would be able to immerse themselves in a very happy feeling.

　　　　

 

 

　Go up Tsukishima Station on the Metro Yurakucho Line and Toei Oedo Line, and there is a store called "Meat Takasago" in the direction of Aioi Bridge on Kiyosumi-dori, making it a famous meat shop known to those who know it.

　

　The photo was taken on New Year's Eve last year, but I was a little surprised that the procession was running from the store to Aioi Bridge.

　

　They include grilled pork, Yamagata Japanese black beef, Kakuni, roast beef, beef motsu stew, beef sushi curry, and Japanese black beef beef tongue.
