Kite Museum, here is the last article published.

・・・ I will continue to introduce the kites on display.

　

・・・ Malaysian kite

"This is also the mark on the tail of the plane of Malaysian Airlines. (right)

Then a similar kite is drawn on the back of the Malaysian currency, 1 Lingid banknote.

Some of them have very fine cutouts attached.

Kite flying is also popular in Malaysia, and it is fried at the kite flying competition in Malaysia, but what is interesting is that kites flying directly above and kites measuring 90 degrees with a large divider are excellent.

Even in Japan, Ishigaki-jima Island kites are said to be 90 degrees better when measuring with a large divider.

In Japan, it is fried at about 45 degrees.

The reason is that I want to show a picture of a kite.

When it reaches 90 degrees, it is laughed by saying "Tenjodako".

It's a difference in the culture and way of thinking of flying kites."

　

・・・ Kite (Chinese kite)

"This is a kind of" Mukade kite ", but this (left image) is a miniature dragon, this (right image) is a big one.

This alone will not lift it. It's a light one.

There is a lot of discs behind, and when it receives the wind and lifts it up, it looks like a dragon is swimming."

　

・・・ Signboard of a kite shop

"It's a sign of a kite shop in the Edo period. I made a sign in fashion."

　

・・'.

"Everyone of the kites is such a nail clipper.

I think it's easy to dye.

Because he is the lowermost and lower work of the samurai class, he can't create a complicated pattern.

From here, "cutting the ingredients" in this form is "cutting it to the guy", and "cold guy" seems to be the name of what was cut out by tofu in a square. "

　

・・'I don't have a thread on gold.'

"This is the thread of this kite. It's the whole thread.

You can't control or control the kite without threading.

This is a miniature of a large kite of 100 tatami mats.

The real thing is 15m long and 11m wide. Attach 150 to 160 threads.

It is a word from a kite that uses money inexhaustably and unlimitedly."

"There are many things in Edo characters.

The vaudeville characters (Tachibana-ryu) and the play characters (Kantei-ryu) are written tightly so that customers can enter a lot without gaps.

If you write them on a kite and fly them in the sky, it will not be noticeable, and you don't know what is written.

The kite is written in the thousand-sha characters (cage characters) of the thousand-sha bills with gaps so that it stands out. "

　

・・Mr. Kawaguchi, thank you very much for your valuable stories.

※　The image of the kite was photographed with permission.

　The Nihon Keizai Shimbun's regional economic aspect (Tokyo) on October 11, 2017 reported the establishment of "Nihonbashi Information" (Tourist Information Center) as an example of the establishment of a system for accepting foreign tourists in Chuo-ku. . In addition, Chuo-ku plans to increase the attractiveness of Tokyo's leading sightseeing spots, such as adding information signs in foreign languages so that you can enjoy walking around the city with peace of mind, and enhancing the Internet environment. It has been stated. According to the article, 48% of visitors to Tokyo visit Ginza and 37% visit Nihonbashi (including around Tokyo Station and Marunouchi) (Tokyo 2016 survey).

　

　It means "addition of information signs in foreign languages", but in the case of foreign language notation, I think that it is necessary to have an English part that shows the contents, not just Romanization of Japanese. At present, there are signs that are limited to Romanization only. For example, you should not only display "Amazakeyokocho", but also add "Alley", "Street", etc. Foreigners who cannot understand Japanese simply by Romanization of place names do not understand the "contents" at all.

　

　This English notation of the place name is important, and when I moved alone in Russia and other Russian areas, I couldn't even pronounce the street display of the city, so I was lost and could send it to the promised time Even if I could not contact my current location, and I had a problem (at that time, I was not in a situation where I could use my mobile phone overseas). It was my experience in Moscow, but I was dropped off on the way by a taxi I picked up in the city, I could hardly speak English in the city, and with the help of a young man who caught me, he told me that you were a brave man. It was about 10 years after the collapse of the Soviet Union, and I was reminded that general taxis in Moscow were notorious, and even a little expensive, they were told that they should not ride anything other than the taxi they applied for at the hotel.

　

　Also, during the preliminary survey of the "October 8 Welcome Central Inbound Tour", when I walked around Ningyocho, I was dissatisfied that a considerable number of explanation versions in the city did not include English explanations only in Japanese explanations . I think that I was able to confirm only the English explanation of two Karakuri dolls, except for the signboards set up by the ward's Board of Education.

The "Soft Vinyl Monster Exhibition" is being held at the gallery "Megumi Ogita Gallery (MEGUMI OGITA GALLERY)" on the first basement floor of the Ginza Otsuka Building, Ginza 2-chome.

The first floor of the building is "Natural Lawson".

This exhibition is an exhibition by soft vinyl monster writer "HxS".

The period is from Saturday, October 7 to 14 (Sat), and the opening time is from 11:00 to 19:00.

I feel nostalgia with this soft vinyl material itself.

However, this exhibition is a special exhibition that makes you feel not only old but also new.

HxS takes advantage of the soft vinyl molding technology inherited from his father, and performs everything from design, prototype, molding and coloring alone.

The process of soft vinyl molding seems to remain almost unchanged from the early Showa era to the present, but Mr. HxS seems to have been trying various moldings in his own way and making efforts to create better products .

HxS's work is very popular overseas, and I visited this gallery on the fourth day, but the number of visitors on the first day (October 7) was amazing, including those who came to see this exhibition from overseas.

At this exhibition, about 50 original monsters are displayed in various color variations, as well as original drawings and two new monsters are displayed.

Anyway, in addition to the uniqueness and precision of molding, you will be surprised by the vividness, beauty, and diversity of colors.

In addition, the works of the giant King gorilla beast (a twin-head monster similar to gorilla) are also exhibited at the venue, which is overwhelming.

Experience the good old-fashioned toys, old and new soft vinyl monster exhibition

In addition, this time, we received your consent and photographed and interviewed in the gallery.

Thank you very much

The osmanthus that blooms small orange flowers.

You realize that the flowers have bloomed due to the fragrance.

　

　The scientific name Osmanthus is osme/fragrance and anthus (anthos)

It is derived from flowers.

　In the book charts compiled in the Edo period, "Kurika" is "Kurika".

There is also another name, both of which show the appearance of flowers.

　

　Sweet scent with a presence is somewhat nostalgic.

It makes you feel clear and feels like autumn has come.

I found a small autumn in the precincts.

　

The osmanthus is often found in parks, street trees, etc.

The flowering time varies depending on the environment.

It's mid-September to mid-October.

At this time, while being wrapped in a gentle scent

Why don't you take a walk?
