 Today, I visited "Ando Shihoten" near the corner of Ginza 5-chome.

There were spring-like cherry blossoms, my favorite Cattleya flower pattern, designs such as "Owl", and cloisonne products depicting famous peak Fuji.

This time, I especially liked the cloisonne product designed by "Aka Fuji", loop tie.

The city walk in Ginza will be more and more fun in the future.

 They were carefully packaged, and in the box, there was a piece of paper indicating the artist's name and a brilliant award. 

With this casual attention, I became more and more fond of "Ando Shihoten".

 *We received a leaflet describing the production process of Cloisonne.

The technique of the cloisonne was invented by Tsuneyoshi Kaji of Owari Kaifu-gun during the Tenpo era, and the history of the development from the invention of the cloisonne is described.

"Unemebashi" is a bridge where Miyuki-dori, which runs on the border between Ginza 5-chome and 6-chome, crosses the Metropolitan Expressway between Tsukiji 4-chome.

In Nishizume of this bridge, there is "Tsukiji River Saijobashi Park" (map below, pink). It is Shimbashi Enbujo, which is adjacent to each other.

If you look at Samebashi Park from the opposite bank of the Saimebashi Bridge over the Metropolitan Expressway, you can see a huge white flower tree (pictured below, red arrow) in full bloom at this time (March 19).

The flowering season was earlier than Yoshino cherry tree, and I was wondering what that tree was, not cherry like cherry blossoms.

I wanted to know the name, so I visited the "Water and Green Section" in the Chuo-ku government office and contacted the person in charge directly.

Then, I was kindly examined and taught me clearly.

It was a spider

Smomo is native to China, and in China, it has been loved since ancient times as a representative flower of spring along with peach. It is said that he came to Japan during the Nara period.

The book says, "Before the development of the leaves, white five-petaled flowers are attached, and the flowering period is just before" Ume "is over and" Sakura "is about to bloom." was exactly the same.

Oh, the haze was refreshed.

The white plum flowers of the plums at Tsukiji River Saijobashi Park are very beautiful.

Photographed in front of Ginza Mitsukoshi at around 6:30 am on March 13.


I heard from a worker that it blooms on the weekend. !


It is said that it was made by crossing Amagi Yoshino and Kanhizakura. A variety that is resistant to cold and heat. It seems that the best time to see it is too long.

In 2015, actor Takashi Sasano became a movie of the story of the birth of sunlight cherry blossoms. Why don't you take a look at it while shopping in Ginza?

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] March 21, 2018 16:00

It's been springing

kobus201801.JPG

Benikobushi blooms on the north side of the street from Saijo Bridge to Ichiba Bridge Intersection (Ichiba Bridge Street), on the north side of Kyobashi Tsukiji Elementary School, and on both sides from the celebration bridge to Shin-ohashi-dori St. (map below, pink part).

kobus201800.jpg

Benikobushi (Red Magnolia kobus) is said to have been altered by the genus Mokuren, also known as Himeshi Dekobushi (Princess Four Tesui), whose petals are white.

kobus201802.JPG

The name comes from a friend of Magnolia kobus, because the flower color is light red.

kobus201805.JPG

Benikobushi on Ichiba Bridge Street is a wonderful view like Tsukiji, with tarley (blue vehicle in the photo above) being parked and blooming.

kobus201806.JPG

By the way, Turret Truck is an abbreviation for Turret Truck, a general term for transport vehicles used for cargo in factories, warehouses, railway stations, etc., but it is a familiar car in the Tsukiji market.

kobus201808.JPG

The pale pink petals, rather than light red, are elongated and wavy, and have a different impression than the original white Magnolia kobus.
