Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

　From March 1st, "Senshafuda stamp rally walking around Chuo-ku" has begun.　The period is until March 31st (Sat).

To participate, first obtain the stamp rally mount, G Info in the Ginza area, the General Information Center Plat Tsukiji area, Nihonbashi Tourist Information Center in the Nihonbashi area, Ningyocho area in front of the Ningyocho Shopping Street Cooperative Office (Great Kannon Terashita), Tsukishima Monja Promotion Association, Chuobashi area in the Tsukishima area.

　The location of the stamp seal is the same as the location of the above-mentioned mount.　And, if you answer the questionnaire with the participation prize `` Sensha Bill Seal written by Edo Character Craftsman '' that you can always get, the place where you can receive prizes in the area that you may be able to get by lottery is the Chuo-ku Tourist Information Center in the Kyobashi area, The first start should be started from a place other than Kyobashi.

　As it was getting warmer, on March 3rd, G Info took a walk from the Tsukiji Outer Market General Information Center Plat Tsukiji and the Tsukishima Monja Promotion Association Cooperative in the Tsukishima area.　I thought it was a bit far to walk to Ningyocho and Nihonbashi, so I came up with a good thing.　

And we used "Edo Bus", the foot of Chuo Ward residents. I got a transfer ticket to the North Loop and went from Tsukishima to Nihonbashi for 100 yen. (Because it was Saturday, the stamp place in Ningyocho was closed.)

　The Edo bus driver was very kind to issue a transfer ticket and also told me where to transfer.

The Nihonbashi Tourist Information Center sells not only stamps but also long-established products in Nihonbashi, so we decided on the items and purchased "Arihei Sugar vanilla Milk Candy" from Eitarou Sohonpo.

I think this will also be popular in the return of White Day. (I'm self-consumption)

At the Chuo-ku Tourist Information Center on the first basement floor of Kyobashi Edgran, I showed a mount and received a participation prize, "Sensha Bill Sticker written by Edo Character Craftsman," which I could always get.

　

I answered the questionnaire and tried the lottery, but I still don't seem to have a lottery.

I enjoyed a little late lunch at a shop in the basement of Kyobashi Edgran, and rewarded myself.

　Well, why don't you take a walk and join the Senshafuda stamp rally?　It's really fun.

※　The participation prize "Sensha Bill Sticker written by Edo Character Craftsman" is a wonderful Edo character drawn by Tsutaya Shoten in Tsukiji. Tsutaya Shoten participates in the "Chuo-ku Machikado Museum".

The Tokyo Marathon, which is worthy of being called the Marathon Festival, has been successfully completed.

(The newspaper advertisement after the Tokyo Marathon is aimed at runners with the motif of Packman. Tourist correspondents cannot overlook "Nihonbashi" shining in the middle. )

I myself ran for the first time this time, but the course layout running in the middle of Tokyo, support for the roadside, luxurious invited players, the scale of the Expo, the hospitality of volunteers, the clarity of water supply ... It was a wonderful tournament that was unparalleled by any other.

I think it is also very good to take new measures such as collecting clothes that runners wore to keep them warm in boxes along the road and turning them into recycling.

In that wonderful tournament, my own run is ...

　

This time, I ran for the 2-hour range (less than 3 hours in a full marathon is called a sub-three). This will continue to run at a speed of 14.1 km / h, 4 minutes / 13 seconds.

　

It's going down for a while from the first gun. Theory says, "If you fly too much here, you will come to your feet later, so keep your eyes suppressed," but even if you fly, nothing is crowded and it is difficult to proceed. Perhaps the position of the line was too behind, the pace around me was slow, and even if I pulled it out considerably, it took about 1 km 4 minutes 50 seconds. "... it's hard to rewind this delay." A weak sound looks as soon as possible.

　

I returned to about 1 km 4 minutes 14 seconds from the middle, but I can't get back the first delay if it is. However, considering the second half, it is dangerous to fly any more. The legs continue to be heavy. I want to respond to the support of the roadside, but I don't have much time to do it.

　

From the time it exceeds 30 km, more and more runners are clearly slower. I pull it out little by little, but I myself begin to cram my left calf and my left toe. Driving while searching for a position to see how your feet do not cramp.
In the last Marunouchi, the back of the thighs was cramped and stopped. A little embarrassing condition in the most gorgeous place ... (sweat).

That's why I finished in 3 hours and 9 minutes.

　

I was about 10 minutes behind my goal, but when I was given a medal to a volunteer at the goal, "Congratulations!", I was somewhat moved and tears came out. Because there is this, it may be that I will enter again. (Thank you very much to all the volunteers.)

　

Well, the Tokyo Marathon is also a great place to appeal for tourism. Some of the brochures we received are full of highlights. Just following the contents of these brochures may take about a year.

　

(When it comes to running, it's a bit difficult.
The Sumida River brochure is available.
We show you the best course around Chuo-ku.

In other words, this course layout looks exactly like the first blog course I took up.
That's a wonderful course.

 

 

Did you know that there is a first gallery in the space in front of the restaurant on the first floor of the main building of St. Luke's International Hospital? "Eiko's knitting clothing exhibition" will be held from March 12 (Mon) to March 17 (Sat) from 10:00 to 17:00. ※It will be held until 14:00 on the 17th.

Using authentic Amami Oshima Tsumugi woven silk thread and Amami muddy silk thread, we hand-knit original works in the image of Amami's nature. I would be happy if you could feel the gentle comfort of 100% silk thread hats, shawls, boleros, gloves, accessories, etc.

In addition to St. Luke's Gallery, Eiko Mori has held solo exhibitions in New York and other places in addition to Ginza, Asakusa, Kawagoe, Kagurazaka, and Amami Oshima Island in Japan, and overseas in New York, due to a relationship living in New York.

Aiko is from Kasari-cho, Amami City, Kagoshima Prefecture. On September 16, 2017, at Amami Park on Amami Oshima Island, he held "Eiko's knitting and fashion show" in his hometown, which had been a dream for many years. A friend who came from Tokyo and a friend from Amami Oshima Island took on the model on the day, and it was very exciting with the collaboration of Shima-uta.

I would like to introduce the work of Aiko.

For the lady, the wedding dress was made for 100% silk in time for the wedding. Next to the right is the dress of her mother, Aiko. It seems that the dream was to wear Aiko's handmade clothes with them.

2016 The 24th Yuzawaya Creative Grand Prize Exhibition Hand-knitting Category Bronze Award in 2016, and the 23rd Yuzawaya Creative Grand Prize Exhibition Knit Category Grand Prize in 2014.

Aiko's parents' house was the origin of Oshima Tsumugi in Kasari-cho. I grew up watching the process of weaving Oshima Tsumugi from an early age. I lived abroad with Venezuela New York on my husband's transfer.

After returning to Japan, I awakened to my identity, worked on silk threads by dyeing threads with muddy dyeing Amami Oshima Tsumugi, started with thread making, and knitted by hand. It is said that you feel the happiest when you are knitting. If you like the work, you seem to have a desire to wear it every day without regret, rather than taking care of it.

It's 100% silk and one item. I don't have the same product. Since several threads of different colors are twisted to make a single thread, you can enjoy it just by seeing the work in various colors.

A haori that goes well with Western clothing　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Speaking of Amami Oshima Island, NHK Taiga drama series's "Saigo Don" is aired, but Tatsugochou, who had been living under the name of Gengo Kikuchi for 2 years, is located next to Kasaricho (1858, 1858, 1858, 31, 1859, 12 January 12, 1859, 1859000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

It is a place where Saigo Takamori wanted to build a new house for Aikana and Kikujiro, designed by himself and walked around places where typhoons could not hit. It is Designated Cultural Property of the prefecture, but since it is privately owned, I made a reservation in advance. I was sorry that Mr. Shoichiro Ryu, the owner, welcomed me and told me carefully.

Blessed with Aikana and two children (Kikujiro and Kikukusa) in Tatsugo-cho, I thought that I could have had the happiest time in my life, while slowly watching the items related to Saigo Takamori. I was there.

The second wife Aikana and the statue of Takamori Saigo were displayed on the forehead.

If you look closely at the fine stone monument on the way back, the inscription erected in 1898 Meiji 31 by the efforts of Oshima Shimaji and Gisuke Sasamori was based on the calligraphy of Kaishu Katsu.

　

　

Did you know that Saigo-don lived in Nihonbashi Ningyocho for two years from 1871 to 6? 1871 1871 Joined the Meiji Government at the age of 44. Abandoned clan is established. 1872 In 1872, he was appointed as a 45-year-old member of the House of Councillors, General of the Army, and Governor of Konoe. 1873 Submitted his resignation from the conflict over dispatch to Korea in 1873 and returned to Kagoshima.

　

It seems that the residence of Gagaku Mamoru Sakai, which has Nihonbashi Elementary School, Kindergarten, Nihonbashi Library, and Uokyu, was made into mansion, but he purchased 2,633 tsubo for 1,586 yen. However, Saigo-don used only the tenement house in the mansion. I understand the character of Saigo Don well.

　

　"Kappo cuisine Toyoda" is a shop that was integrated in 1863 with the stalls "Tengu Sushi" and "Toyoda" from two shops into the present "Kappo cuisine Toyoda". We spoke with Mr. Takashi Hashimoto, the fourth generation. I heard a story from the second generation old woman. It seems that Saigo Don came to eat "Akaberoberoshobazushi (tuna pickled)". It seems that there is also a project to reproduce the supervision of Yoshino sushi "Akaberobero Shoppashi".

"Senbikiya Sohonten" Founded in 1834 in 1834, it is said that it was located near Ningyocho 3-chome in Oyabashi, right next to the mansion where Saigo Don lived. On a hot summer day, I ordered the second generation Mura Ouchi, saying, "Oh, a strange watermelon, please bring me." The loud voice was heard in the store. I asked Senbikiya that Saigo Don was a favorite of Switzerland.

When asked about his future success, Aiko is scheduled to hold a solo exhibition at Keio Plaza Hotel from December 1 (Sun) to 12 (Wed), 2018.

It would be nice to be able to transform this Japanese brand into knitting using silk in the age of kimono separation, and even today, wearing the softness and lightness of silk to the touch of silk, and transmitting this Japanese brand to the world. I think the hosting of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics is an opportunity to attract more attention from people around the world. I would like to keep in mind "hospitality" that expresses the heart of Japan from now on.

(Mr. Eiko Mori, Mr. Ryu of Saigo Nanshu, Mr. Ryu, Mr. Kappo cuisine Toyoda, and Mr. Senbikiya Sohonten received the interview and consent of the description in the photo.)

 

 

Meiji Their Majesties The Emperor and Empress
On April 4, 1875, at the time of cherry blossom viewing at the lower house of the Mito Domain (currently Mukaijima Sumida Park), we ate Anpan as a tea voucher.
I hear you like it very much.

I made the arrangements.
This is Tesshu Yamaoka, a master of swords and calligraphy.

The name of the restaurant in the photo on the left was written.

Unfortunately, the original was burned down during the Great Kanto Earthquake.

Why don't you take a look at it often during the silver bra? It's a wonderful and wonderful character.

 

 

Facing the Irifunebashi intersection at Irifune 3-chome, the monument of the birthplace of the shoe industry is built surrounded by planting.

In the inscription, it is written like this.

On March 15, 1870 (1870), Katsuzo Nishimura founded Ise Katsu / Soshokujo was the former site of 5-1 Tsukiji Irifunecho. Katsuzo grew up in the culture of the opening of the Sakura clan, and with the recommendation of Daisuke Hyobu Masujiro Omura at the time, and the support of Masanori Hottafeudal lord and Eiichi Shibusawa, he created and succeeded in creating a shoe industry. In this way, this land is the starting point of the shoe industry in Japan, so the monument remains are written here.

Japan Shoes Federation

The title is written by Masahisa Hotta.

Masahisa Hotta is a descendant of the former Sakura feudal lord Hotta family, and has served as mayor of Sakura for four terms and 16 years.

According to the inscription, on March 15, 1870, Katsuzo Nishimura, who was a Sakura clansman, opened a factory to manufacture leather shoes.

Masujiro Omura, the founder of the Army, said "recommendation" was based on the needs of military shoes (leather shoes) suitable for Japanese people, and at that time, the Akashicho area in Tsukiji was designated as a foreign settlement, and many foreigners would have demand for shoes.

March fifteenth is "Shoes Anniversary".
