This is the rosemary sea, which covers "gifts and enjoy yourself" as an active vision.
I visited the kite museum today.
This is probably the only museum of kites in the world.
It was opened in 1977 (Showa 52) by Shingo Modegi, the first generation of Taimeiken, a super famous Western restaurant in Nihonbashi.
The first generation also launched a Japanese kite party.
Currently, the second generation, Masaaki (Masaaki) is the director.
Koji, the third generation, who has many appearances on TV, is also involved.
Approximately 3,000 items, from Edo kites to kites from all over the world, are on display only in a narrow space.
The Edo kite is a work by Teizo Hashimoto, a great Edo kite craftsman from the Taisho era and Showa eras, called the "last Edo kite master".
We talked to Kite Museum Akihiro Kawaguchi (Kite Museum).
Here's an introduction to the kites on display.

・・・ Edo kite
"Edokaku" is right? This is "Yoshitsune's eight boats jump."

"It's called" Koikin ", but it's" Koi and Kintaro ". It's fried in a boy's festival, and it's called " brave." "

・・'-Dharma kite
"When fried, it's very eye-catching.
In addition, I paint wax on the eyes of this Dharma painting.
When I lift it, my eyes shine brightly."

・・・ Large kite
"At the request of the shop, I want you to make a large kite with a zodiac sign." I made it because there was a need for it."

・・・ Blue cloud
"This is one of the series kites fried on the TV commercial of Nippon Kodo's incense stick" Seiun ".
This was fried by the caretaker of the Japanese kite society.
In TV commercials, Mount Fuji on the back is a composite image, but the picture on the calendar displayed below the kite is from the kite flying competition at Fujikawa riverbed in Shizuoka Prefecture. The real Fuji is the back.
This is a series of about 100 kites."

・・・Kite of the first generation Shingo-san
In 1965 (Showa 40), a Japanese kite was first raised in the sky of Paris in front of the Eiffel Tower.
The first fried was Shingo Shigeki, the first one.
The kites fried in Paris are on the top. The image on the right is the first picture.
"It was when I went to France to practice cooking. This has become a hot topic.
This is a hexagonal kite, so if you remove the vertical bone, it will become cylindrical.
Hexagonal kites are the easiest to carry."

・・Satomi Ishihara.
"It's Tokyo Metro's commercial" Kayabacho edition "taken about 5 months ago.
It was shot just by standing beside this Tsugaru kite.
It's the nearest place to Kayabacho Station in the guide of Kayabacho, but this is Nihonbashi and Nihombashi Station is closer.
It is "Kayabacho Edition" for the convenience of Tokyo Metro. "
・・・ This is the case for space reasons.
I'll continue next time.
※ The image of the kite was photographed with permission.
