[Silver] March 15, 2018 16:00

"Chuo-ku Machikado Exhibition Hall" currently has 22 exhibition halls, and it is a very meaningful and study exhibition hall that introduces the area and its long-established stores. At present, the exhibition hall stamp rally is being held, and I am with the Shochiku Otani Library in Higashiginza.

I went to Tsutaya Shoten in Tsukiji's "Noren / Japanese lantern / Drawing Exhibition Hall" in the photo below.

 At Tsutaya in Tsukiji, he told us that the cut bags sold by the store were written on a drawstring bag made by Takatora in Nihonbashihamacho.

What will happen to business if you don't have a scale in Edo period?

[Shubo's Ten Hands] March 15, 2018 09:00

Zhubo's ten hands 3.jpgDSCN1035.JPGThe ruins of Edo Libraza

Libra is a business establishment created by Edo shogunate to unify the standards for scales.

 

It continued from 1653 (1653) to 1875 (1875). Edo was manufactured, distributed and repaired by the guardian family, Kyoto was manufactured, distributed and repaired by the Shinto family, and the guardian was in charge of 33 eastern countries.

 

In the eastern country, they couldn't use, manufacture, or give their surnames other than the guardian. It was so protected by the Shogunate.

 

The Great Fire of the Meiryaku era (1657) occurred and as many as 100,000 people died, and the central keep of Edo Castle was burned down. The guardian Libra Factory was also burned down, and the wood of the material was burned down. There must have been a lot of orders that could not be handled among them. The guardian said that the wood of the material (a tree that is sufficiently dried and not distorted or deformed) was stockpiled in the suburbs of Edo in preparation for a fire. If you are prepared, you don't have to worry about it.

It's right next to Nihonbashi Takashimaya. Please come along with your purchase.

 

 

For the first time in 41 years, “Takatama Combi”, “Osomehisamatsu Color Reading Sales Osome Hisama Tsuukina no Yomiuri”-March Daikabuki-Kabukiza Theater

1. March 14, 2018 14:00

"Takatama Combi" (Nizaemon's Takao era), which caused a major Kabuki boom in the 1950s, but recently, if there were few co-stars and I was sorry that "it became a legendary stage", I was very excited when this month's performance was announced following last month's "7th Dan" because of the voice of the fan. "Osomekumatsu color reading" is known to be replaced by seven actors who play dyeing as "the Seven Roles of Osome", but this time only "Poroya no Ba" and "Aburaya no Ba". Gyozaburo's bank sixth, Nizaemon's Kibei couple of unlucky direction came up with a corpse that hit the puffer fish, but the corpse revived and the two who failed to make a strong contract carry a palanquin and pull the flower path . According to Shochiku's announcement, the performance in this combination was the first time in 41 years since 1977. The next "Kanda Festival" is also a two Tobito and a geisha, and it has been a long time. A young friend from Nara who came from Nara was deeply moved by the revival of the beautiful famous combination. I was sighing that I would like to perform consecutive performances of the North and South things that were revived at that time. The last is "Taki no Shiraito" written by Kyoka Izumi. It is a performance that is often performed in the new school, but it seems to be the first in Kabukiza since 1981. Ichitaro and Matsuya will play the Shiraito of the waterfall and Kinya Murakoshi for the first time in the direction of Tamasaburo. In the water arts scene, I don't know where water really comes out, so I applauded. Let me hear Kinya's line in the court.

 

In the afternoon, Ainosuke plays Wa Tonai. Shiseijakuemon 7th anniversary memorial service "Gender Dojo-ji Temple" is a "Shibahama leather wallet" that turns Shiban's rakugo Shibahama into Kabuki.

 

For inquiries on the 27th, please contact Ticket Hon Shochiku 0570-000-489.

Shiraki Lotus telling the coming of spring

[Sam] March 13, 2018 18:00

DSC02036ELS'.jpgRS'G.jpg Hakumokuren in Akatsuki Park (Tsukiji 7) is blooming.

Hakumokuren is a deciduous shrub of the genus Mokuren native to China and has been introduced to Japan for a long time. It is also known as Mokuren, but originally "Mokuren" refers to "Shi (purple) Mokuren" that blooms red-purple flowers.

In early spring, prior to the leaves, it blooms in an egg-shaped, thick, upward, closed and closed flowers.

The 3 calyx and 6 petals are the same color and look like 9 petals in total.

The white neat beauty of Hakumokuren is exceptional.

It is wonderful to bathe in the soft sunlight and add pure white flowers to the branches, and the wind carries an elegant scent, creating a sense of the early spring season.
