[wombat] October 23, 2017 16:00

I found a shop that creates a nice space where even one can drop in casually.

 

tou.jpg Shop (4.) jpg

 

A new prayer (Tou) opened in the summer of 2017, a 1-minute walk from Ningyocho Station.

It is a shop where you can enjoy both Edomae sushi using traditional techniques by sushi chefs who have refined their skills at famous restaurants for many years at Tsukiji Market, as well as creative sushi full of surprises that have always been in mind.

     

 

 I'll pick you up and tell you what you've explored.

Above: First of all, I had a first with the wine.

  There are also seasonal matsutake mushrooms! I'm full with this alone.

Below: The right side of the plate on the left is the cheese.

  Even if it is soaked, it goes well with wine~~~~

We use our experience to provide good and reliable materials at any time, taking advantage of our personal connections in the Tsukiji market.

In addition, I am glad that the price is kept as low as possible by taking advantage of the goodness of personal management.

 

16 seats in total, counter and table 

While having fun talking with sushi chefs in a quiet space, you can forget the passage of time.

Sugimori Shrine Bettara City 2017 Lottery

[Silver] October 23, 2017 14:00

Sugimori Shrine has been in Fukutoku since the Edo period. It has been worshiped as the god of business. Every year in October, the Ebisu Shrine Festival is held grandly.

The shrine is home to shrine office, Kagura Hall, basin and torii gate, and is registered in Tangible Cultural Property, Chuo-ku.

 Next to the torii gate, the names of the shrine's pupils are listed, and you can see that famous Nihonbashi companies such as Mitsukoshi are worshiped.

 In Kagura Hall, there was a musical accompaniment celebrating the festival. I'd like you to pass it on to future generations.

 Sugimori Shrine is also famous as a place for the lottery performances that became popular during the Edo period, and the "Tomizuka Monument" tells the prosperity of the time on the premises.

That's why we distributed a golden "rich lottery" embroidered with "rich".

 I wish you all the best.

 

 

◆Local Tenmonkan special exhibition "Ayumi in Chuo-ku, commemorating the 70th anniversary of the enforcement of the ward system-Postwar development and changes in towns" is being held!

[Akira Makibuchi / Sharakusai] October 23, 2017 09:00

At the Chuo Ward Folk Tenmonkan (Time Dome Akashi), special exhibition "Ayumi in Chuo-ku, commemorating the 70th anniversary of the enforcement of the ward system-development and changes in towns-" began on October 21 (Saturday). This year marks the 70th anniversary of the birth of Chuo-ku, and it features Ayumi of the development of Chuo-ku from post-war reconstruction to today. The exhibition period is closed on Monday until Sunday, December 10 and admission is free. Click here.>>

  

0913_674_171021kusei70ayumi.jpgChuo-ku was born on March 15, 1947 (1947). At that time, under the occupation of the Allied Forces, the main buildings in the ward were seized, and the general public lived a tough life after the end of the war. Under such circumstances, measures aimed at post-war reconstruction are on display. It is such as organizing the Ginza open-air street and reclamation of rivers. In 1952, the restoration of Japan's sovereignty led to the path to economic development.

    

At the Tokyo Olympics held in 1964 (1964), infrastructure development for urban renovation was mainly carried out, and construction of the Metropolitan Expressway was a representative measure. At the same time, transportation, such as the opening of the subway, was also a turning point from conventional shipping to land transportation. Urban development in the coastal area east of Tsukishima is also progressing. The construction of Harumi Wharf and the opening of an international trade fair venue can be seen, indicating the departure from industrialization.

    

The exhibition features the growth and changes of the Kabuto-cho financial district and the prosperity of the department stores as the bustling city of Chuo-ku as a commercial district. I look at the city that has been reborn as a result of active redevelopment from then to recent years.

   

The special exhibition exhibition featured some of the postwar development of Chuo-ku, which seemed to focus more on infrastructure and hardware. The major change after the end of the war was the creation of a free society. Culture and education policies have changed dramatically. There were many movie companies, movie theaters, and popular entertainment facilities in Chuo-ku. In addition, it is a place where media relations such as newspapers and television-related gather as information dissemination bases. We must not forget such a point of view. @ Akira Makibuchi

 

 

"Discover! Tekuteku Ticket Journey is being held until November 5th

[Silver] October 22, 2017 18:00

 At Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi, two lions are wearing a tie and fashionable, so I went inside the store for a while.

When I asked the guide lady, it was said that he was doing JAZZ WEEK, but there is a station information board next to the reception!

1508494867555.jpg

I got a flyer with a yellow cover. In the design of the cover, surrounded by the tracks of the Yamanote Line.

"Discover! Tekuteku Ticket Journey Kyobashi-Marunouchi-Tokyo Station-Yaesu-Let's collect Nihonbashi Memorial Replica Tickets (hard tickets) and tour the city! "

 It seems interesting, and immediately I visited five spots in the Nihonbashi area and got a hard ticket.

Walking through the streets that appear in rakugo

[Dharma] October 22, 2017 14:00

Ryukanbashi 2.jpgRyukanbashi, which connects Ryuka-cho (currently Uchikanda) and the former Hon-Shiroganemachi (currently Honishi-cho), is a very rare bridge of Japan's first reinforced concrete traft bridge built in 1923. It is said that it is derived from the fact that there was a house of the former Shogunate monk "Ryukan Inoue".

 

Rakugo "Straw Doll" The daughter Okuma of Nukaya in Kanda Ryuka-cho, sold herself to a giroya in trouble eating, but tricked her money from a monk named Sainen who wanted to contract. The grudged Sainen boiled the straw dolls in oil and cursed the bear. "If you have a straw doll, you have to nail." "No, Okuma is the daughter of Nukaya."...It's one of the stories.

 

 

Now, when you go to Edo-dori St. from Tokiwa Bridge, which is the restoration work, it is a diagonal angle, Muromachi 3-chome "Honishicho Juken Store Ruins". Currently, the construction of a super-high-rise office building is underway, and at the exit No. 4 of Shin-Nihonbashi Station at the intersection, there is an explanation board of "Nagasakiya Ruins".

 

Takaramachi 21.jpgThe story of the rakugo "Nagasaki no Akahan" begins when the father of the neighboring land "Kanafukicho" (currently Honishi-cho) Kanataya accounts for his son. The mother's affection for her son, married to a large store in Nagasaki with the care of her uncle, and her father returned home with red paper and married a daughter of Hatchobori, and the bride of Nagasaki hides herself in a beggar and arrives safely in Edo, giving back the sin of the checkpoint....Set in the middle of Edo, it is a feature-length story of a humanistic story with fantasy and reality.

 

 

From Juken Store, walk from Ukiyo-e Koji, Choledo Muromachi, Takarada Ebisu Shrine, Sugimori Shrine, Sanko Shindo in Nihonbashi Horidome in about 15 minutes.

New Ukiyokoji 1.jpgTadashi Sanko Inari. JPG


It is a seat on the Hyakkawa stage, a kaiseki restaurant located in Nihonbashi Ukiyokoji until the early Meiji era.

 

Rakugo "Hyakukawa" I came to visit Hyakubei from the countryside and introduced Chizuka-ya in Kayamachi. The new Hyakubei is on the second floor with a nail, saying that it is a rough riverbank. Hyakubei, who has a terrible accent, is Chimpunkanpun for customers. Hyakubei, who was sent by a customer for messenger, brought "Surgeon Kamoike (Kameji) Genbayashi-sensei" by mistake for "Jobanzu's poet character (Kamemoji)". Both professors lived near the path of Sanko Inari. You're out of work, "How much is it?" If everyone pulls out, Ochi can laugh with a local accent, saying, "It's a turtle, a seagull, a tant, only one character." It's a story created for the promotion of Hyakukawa.

 

 

200 years with Japanese paper-washi Haibara ~

[rosemary sea] October 22, 2017 09:00

This is a rosemary sea, covering "gifts and I enjoy myself" with systematics.

 

This time, I would like to introduce a long-established Japanese paper shop in Nihonbashi, Haibara.

We handle a wide range of paper products from Japanese paper and Japanese paper accessories to stationery and letter sets.

1505_016-21b.jpg

 

Mr. Haibara has been in business for more than 200 years since 1806 (3rd year of culture), but the shop is a new store constructed in 2015 (Heisei 27).

An eye-catching building where you can feel the tradition and innovation of a long-established store.

Both the interior and exterior were awarded the Good Design Award in 2016.

 

As I mentioned earlier from the appearance, of course, my main business is shining more.

There are also a variety of customers.

From the Imperial Family to successive ministers, British rockstars and Queen's Freddie Mercury, we have responded to the needs of everyone.

 

I have a lot of business relationships.

Yumeji Takehisa, Kyosai Kawanabe, Shinsui Ito, Shibatazeshin, etc.

Yumeji Takehisa ... correspondents, you learned in the text.

Kyosai Kawanabe ・ ・ ・ Please see the article "Eitarou Sohonho" by Rosmari.

Shinsui Ito ・ ・ ・ ・ Please see the article of "Bivilizationdo Tokyo" by Rosmari.

 

When I start talking about Mr. Haibara's history, I can't see the end.

I would like to talk a little more about history in a later article.

DSC02992a.jpg

The current president, Tatsuo Nakamura, is the seventh generation.

We spoke with Yoko Nakamura, a spokeswoman for Haibara Corporation.

This is the president's sister.

 

Let's introduce the product.

1511_00109a Gander paper. jpg

・・・ Ganposhi paper

1505_062a.jpg"Ganshin paper Haibara" written on Haibara's noren.

As shown here, since the Edo period, "Gange Paper" has been a signboard product representing Mr. Haibara.

 

What is a geese paper?

Paper made of deciduous shrub of the ginkgo family called geese.

The fibers are short and thin, so the surface is fine and glossy.

Therefore, it is soft around the brush and ideal for writing letters.

In addition, since its strong and closeness and strong resistance to pests, it has been used in emakimono, documents, Buddhist scripture and books since the Heian period.

On the other hand, geese is difficult to grow and takes time to manufacture, so the production volume is very small at present.

 

During the Edo period, when Taihei continued, the hobbies of townspeople were also mature, and high-quality and beautiful paper became required.

Mr. Haibara, who provided high-quality geese paper, made the foundation to the present.

It seems that they have high-quality Japanese paper from various places, including geese paper.

・・・ Snakeside letter paper

"I was awarded the Good Design Award in 2012.

I want to create a letter paper that can be cut out after writing by reminding me of the idea from the wrapping paper, so new and easier-to-use stationery is added by adding modern technology to accurately folding or cutting paper along the perforation. Was made.

1708_0090 Snakeside stationery horizontally. jpgSince it was based on the wrapping paper, there was only vertical writing for a long time, but this time, "horizontal writing bellow letter paper" has been made.

It's a new product.

There were a lot of requests from customers.

Since we use hard paper, you can use one or two sheets like a card, or you can connect as much as you like.

The design uses the old Chiyogami, so it is a product that can be enjoyed by overseas people. "

It's true that if you write horizontally, you can handle English characters.

・・'-Goshuin Book

"We use Haibara's original Chiyogami and were designed and designed during the Meiji and Taisho eras.

Based on that, the cover is a slightly changed color or altered in a form that is in line with the present age.

Goshuin book is a boom now, so there are many people who buy it.

There are Fukutoku Shrine and Seven Lucky Gods around Nihonbashi, so it's a good place to go around vermilion seal stamp.

There are many people who are looking for it and leave for a tour of vermilion seal stamp."

It's a red stamp book on the cover that is loved by women.

"I also use Haibara's original Chiyogami.

・・・ Kaishi (Kaishi) ・

It is a paper used in the tea ceremony.

Various kinds of products are available, such as white plain, color edges, and so on.

 

 

・・・ Finally, you introduced an episode about Japanese shop curtain.

Haibara's Japanese shop curtain "Gangfu Paper Haibara" is still used in the same typeface in the early Meiji era by a disciple of Shishin Shibata, Yushin Ayaoka.

Mr. Haibara, from the Meiji era to the Taisho era, he asked Mr. Ayaoka for a new Japanese shop curtain every year and was renewed.

On December 28, 1889, Dr. Ayaoka wrote it and waited for the ink to dry, but his wife's domestic cat took it over it. A good footprint.

The disciples advised to remove dirt. Then, a gentle teacher, usually extorted, "Do you think you'll be fooled?"

He talked to Echigo-ya (now the predecessor of Mitsukoshi) who sewed the noren and asked him.

Mr. Echigoya responded kindly, sewed up all night, and Japanese shop curtain was in time for New Year's Eve.

 

Thank you very much, Mr. Nakamura.

There are many other items that I would like to introduce.

Please come and visit us.

And I'd like to buy it.
