Living National Treasure "Suzuki Kura Exhibition-Developed, but Become In Nature" begins-Takashimaya Nihonbashi Store

1. April 13, 2018 16:00

100_2718.JPG

The above exhibition started on April 11 as part of the 110th anniversary of the Takashimaya Art Department's founding, and immediately came to the museum on the first day.

 

As you all know, Mr. Kura Suzuki is a ceramic artist representing Hyundai Shino, who was certified as an important intangible cultural property holder (living national treasure) of Shino in 1994. The exhibition at Takashimaya has been a new exhibition for the first time in nine years since 2009, not only Shino, but also Seto black, vases, and books. This time, the subtitle "Shigahi, Become Nature" is a word in Basho's "Oi no Kobun", and it seems that "easy flow", which is said to be the characteristic of Basho haikai, was born.

 

There are many works with different tendencies from the past, and when you slowly look at "If you can buy it, this is good", the person in charge said, "Please pick it up", and the words are sweet and powerful When you put a large bowl on your hand, there is no weight that you can imagine from the size of the appearance, and "The green looks like it looks like it looks like it looks like it." How delicious it will be with this," he sighed. I was able to talk a little with my teacher, and it was a happy day. If you don't have the luck of the lottery, you can't buy it, but I'd like to see it again just by looking at it.

Replanting street trees on Ginza Chuo-dori

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] April 13, 2018 09:00

A new street tree seedlings are planted on the west sidewalk of Ginza Chuo-dori.

katura201801.JPG

Seedlings were planted on the sidewalks of 1-chome, 2-chome, and 3-chome across the Ginza 2-chome intersection where my commuting route, Ginza Marronnier Street and Chuo-dori, intersect.

katura201802.JPG

This new street tree is said to be a wig tree.

katura201803.JPG

Wig is a tree commonly found as a park or street tree, and is a deciduous tree that leaves yellow in autumn.

The trunk is straight, fast growing, and seems to be about 20m high.

katura201804.JPG

The heart-shaped circular leaves are cute, aren't they?

katura201805.JPG

By the way, the current street tree on Chuo-dori is yew.

Yew is an evergreen coniferous tree with a beautiful trunk extending straight and a beautiful conical shape.

In the past, the theory that yew was used to make a shak used by high-ranking people using yew wood, and that yew wood was much reder (= scarlet) than other wood, There is a theory that "the best scarlet" changed from "scarlet" to "one scarlet".

katura201806.JPG

In the future, the west side of 1-8 chome and the east side of 4, 5, and 6 chome are all turned into wig street trees.

I'm looking forward to seeing the streets of Ginza become a pleasant street with lots of greenery for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Fuji is blooming in such a place

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] April 12, 2018 12:00

There are many things you don't notice at all, even in places where you usually walk.

fujisyu201800.jpg

At present, Fuji is in full bloom inside the fence of the Metropolitan Expressway Toshin Beltway, near the congratulatory bridge from the middle of the congratulatory bridge and Mannen Bridge on the map above, near the congratulatory bridge.

There was a wisteria tree in such a place

fujisyu201802.JPG

Fuji is a vine deciduous tree of the legume family, and generally blooms from late April to early May with a long ear-like inflorescence hanging down.

fujisyu201801.jpg

When it comes to where this wisteria grows, it looks like it grows through the fence from the outside of the fence, as shown in the photo above.

fujisyu201803.JPG

Fuji seems to be a favorable plant that prefers places where direct sunlight shines, and this place faces southeast, why did it bloom a little earlier than other Fuji?

fujisyu201804.jpg

By the way, the view from the Konwavir side is the best.
