Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

On the first weekend after the rainy season was announced all at once from Shikoku to Kanto Koshin, we took a walk in Hamacho Park in good weather.

Here Hamacho Park is a park in Chuo Ward located in 2-chome, Nihonbashi-Hamacho, and is the largest park in Chuo-ku.

Because the park is large, you can find a variety of things that make you feel the changing seasons when you take a walk.

Kinshibai, Japanese willow and bigleaf hydrangea, which I introduced on this blog the other day, are also in bloom.

There was an explanation board in the park called "Small friends of Hamacho Park", and I was glad that there were so many birds and butterflies.

Originally there was the Shimoyashiki of the Kumamoto feudal lord Hosokawa family during the Edo period, and in the park there is Kiyomasa Koji Temple, which enshrines the Kato Kiyomasa, built by Kumamoto feudal lord Narimori Hosokawa.

There is the Chuo Ward Sports Center in the park, and on August 20, the annual "Tug of War Festival" and "Summer Festival 2017" will be held.

Well, Shashasha chan, Shashasha chan, Shashasha chan, Shasha chan.

When a single tightening is performed according to the clap of the head.

Pean and tension wrap around.

It's finally a great lion.

　

The Tsukiji Lion Festival, the summer festival of Tsukiji Nami Inari Shrine.

The lion's head imperial procession took place on Sunday, June 11.

The lion head descending under the torii gate against the backdrop of the lush weeping ginkgo is the heroic itself.

You can also see the flowers.

The banner of "Dynasty with the plague" also flutters high.

　

The head is Takahari lantern from Motomiya.

At the Momotaro Doll's Hayashi stand with dogs, monkeys, and pheasant curtains on three sides, the Tsukiji Hayashi is played.

Benzaiten's tooth black lion is a woman.

Sore Sore Sore Sore. Let's go according to your clapping.

A girl dressed in Tenugui headbands, happi coat, underground tabi and a bearer fashion is jumping.

10 years later, she will surely clung to the head of the carrying stick and jump.

　

And it is the progress of the great lion.

Oissa, Yoisa, Oissa, Yoisa.

With the momentum of the flute and clapping, the weight of nearly 2 tons moves, including the carrying stick.

The weight can be felt on the shoulders of the spectators.

The large lion, who always sits in the lion hall on the right hand toward the shrine's worship hall, sways the street on the swells of men in a matching festival half-wear.

When you shake back and forth, left and right, up and down, the cheers will boil up.

　

Chuo-ku is located in the middle of Tokyo.

Surprisingly, many festivals and annual events are transmitted seasonally.

Above all, the Tsukiji Lion Festival is one of the events that the residents of the city are proud of and look forward to the event.

Let me give you some reasons.

Being a festival of Tsukiji and Namiki Shrines enshrined in the city.

The virtues of disaster relief, business prosperity, construction safety, etc. are renewed.

The lion festival is an event that has continued since the Edo period.

Carry a huge lion head and travel around the Tsukiji area.

Combined with the enthusiasm of local Tsukiji and other bearers, the lion's dignity will be further increased, and it will be transmitted to the spectators and the mood will be uplifted.

　

During the festival, the portable shrine warehouse on the grounds of the shrine was opened, and we could see the Sennuki portable shrine, the highest peak of Edo portable shrine.

Foreign tourists who were shopping and eating outside Tsukiji were also enjoying foreign festivals with their cameras turned their cameras at the end.

There were a number of foreigners, even the bearers.

It was a sight full of momentum that pierced the rain clouds in Tokyo that entered the rainy season and brought in sunlight.

 

 

　Ginza Marronnier Gate

In 1980, Daiei Inc. entered Japan as a partnership with a French department store plantan to expand into the department store business. On August 17, 1983, the operating company, Plantan Ginza Co., Ltd., was established as a subsidiary of Daiei Co., Ltd., and opened on April 27, 1984 as Planttan No. 4 (Plantan Ginza) in the Daiei Group. At the end of December 2016, Plantan Ginza closed, followed by Ginza Marronniergate 2 and Annex 3.

　Even now, it looks like a department store specializing in women.　The flower shop beside the store reminds me of the street corner of Paris.

Nevertheless, Ginzo went while feeling "embarrassment as if he was lost in a women-only car." I wanted to go all the time.　You can see Marronnier Street, MIKIMOTO Ginza 2, etc. It's a superb view!

　

And we went to the second basement floor of Ginza Marronnier Gate 2.

There are several shops and eat-in corners.

I was told that a shop called "Vigo's store" delivered baguettes to the French Embassy in Japan.

Also, the Italian gelato (ice cream) specialty store "Lucian Novio Ginza" was very popular. Thank you very much for the coming hot season.　The background (Ikisatsu) written in this photo was hot.

Marronnier Gate 2. They also sold salads using healthy organic vegetables. From now on, we will go straight to B2 from the beginning.

 

 

On June 8, 2017, I visited the Soy Sauce Hall in Nihonbashikoamicho, but after seeing soy sauce from all over the country being displayed in plastic bottles, I left here, and 1-35-7 Nihonbashi Kakigaracho in front of the Royal Park Hotel. Yosanko Hamaguchi, the 10th generation third son of Yamasa soy sauce and a copperplate painter, at the Mizutengu HS Building. It's a soy sauce connection.

　

It is a museum with a hideaway atmosphere because it has been renovated from a space that served as a warehouse for Yamasa soy sauce. The first floor and the basement are the exhibition halls. Was it a soy sauce barrel in the past? Now it's a stylish interior, and the 1st and 2nd floors are connected by spiral stairs. Metropolitan Expressway Route 6 runs nearby, but you can enjoy it in a quiet atmosphere without hearing any noise at all.

　

Address:　1-35-7, Nihonbashikakigaracho, Chuo-ku, Tokyo　

(Currently, under the title of "111 billion light-year tunnel", copperplate prints of Yozo Hamaguchi and works of young artists (Yozo Hamaguchi, Tsunao Okumura, Nerhol, Nanae Mitobe) are on display. It will be held until August 6, 2017.

Yozo Hamaguchi was born on April 5, 1909 (Meiji 42) in Hiromura, Arita-gun, Wakayama Prefecture. The Hamaguchi family has been the founder of Yamasa soy sauce that claims to be "Gibei" for generations, and Yozo is the third son of the 10th generation Gibei Hamaguchi. At Tokyo Bijutsu School (currently Tokyo University of the Arts), he enrolled in the Sculpture Department, but dropped out of school in two years and traveled to Paris, and from around 1937 (Showa 12) during his stay in Paris, he tried to create a copperplate print technique that draws a pattern directly on a copper plate with a needle, and started writing a step towards a printmaker. Hamaguchi is internationally known as a revivalr of mesotint techniques in the 20th century. Mezotint is one of the copperplate engraving techniques, also known as "Maniel Noir (black technique)" and uses a tool called "Belso" on the surface of the copper plate to make fine points on the whole surface and express subtle black shades. The black land made in this way is carved using tools called "scrapers" and "vanishers" to represent patterns and subtle shades. This technique has been cut off for a long time with the development of photography, but Hamaguchi is known for his revival of this technique and the development of the technique of "color mesotint" in which color plates are repeatedly printed. The photo on the left side below shows the tools used by Hamaguchi, and the right is the press machine used when printing after the plate is completed.

　　

After staying abroad for a long time, I returned to Japan in 1996, and spent several years in Japan until I died in December 2000. The Muse Hamaguchi and Yamasa collections were opened in 1998.

　

Hamaguchi used a lot of small fruits such as grapes, cherries, walnuts, and small animals such as shells and butterflies as motifs for his work, and prefers to use a technique that makes small objects stand out in a screen structure that takes a wide space.
