Tsukushi is the name of the spores stem of horsetail. In kanji, the word "tsuko" is applied from its origin, and the word "tsukushi" is applied from the appearance.

In the past (), in the spring, you could see as many as you like on the banks of the river, but recently, if you find it actually grows, you will be a little excited.

tukus201807.JPG

The Tsukushi appeared in the planting area of Tsukiji River Kamei Bridge Park, a park built beside Kamei Bridge.

Under the bridge and park, there is the Metropolitan Expressway Toshin Beltway.

In this area, the horsetail always stretches green leaves during this season, but I never saw Tsukushi.

In the photo below, horsetail buds are sprouting around Tsukushi.

tukus201804.JPG

According to books, both Tsukushi and Sugina are connected by underground stem, and there are many cases where Tsukushi does not come out and only Sugina grows.

What was the great swarm of Tsukushi, a spring tradition that I saw as a matter of course in the past?

In any case, it's spring performance.

<What is beauty amino acid (D-amino acid)?>

D-amino acids have been considered not to exist in the human body for a long time and have not been studied.

Shiseido believes that D-amino acids may be useful for living organisms, and in collaboration with Kyushu University, we established a unique analysis method.

As a result of repeated research, we found that D-amino acids are present in the skin (stratum corneum) and work better than the L-Amino acids previously known.

Since most D-amino acids are said to be derived from ingredients, they searched for ingredients rich in beauty amino acids (D-amino acids), and arrived at the aged brown rice black vinegar in Kagoshima Prefecture.

Beauty Princess Premium contains aged black vinegar from Kagoshima Prefecture.

Ginza Family Mahjong Class

[The Crown and the Rabbit] April 3, 2018 16:00

In Higashiginza, a gentleman and gentleman

There's a hot place that goes down every day.

 

That's the "Ginza Family Mahjong Class"!

Unlike a mahjong shop like in the street, it's different from a mahjong shop.

A shop specializing in mahjong classes.

There are 10 mahjong tables.

In other words, every day, with the previous engagement 40 people

Clean, beautiful, correct, harmonious

There is a great deal.

 

What I heard about this time?

Mr. Masahiro Hayashi, in charge of operation.

ck1216_20180402 (2). JPG 

 

I used to be a mahjong shop.

By the time the bubble economy burst

There was also a relocation of Dentsu, which was a great deal.

In 1995, it was said that the management policy was changed from a mahjong shop to a mahjong classroom.

 

Then,

Removes dark image that tends to stick to mahjong.

Betting is strictly prohibited and smoking cessation!

 

Through mahjong

Our mission is to pursue “richness of the heart”, “smile” and “improvement of personality”.

In a homey atmosphere, 23 years of trust and achievements.

We operate a clear and happy classroom.

 

When asked, "Do you have any difficulties in operating?"

"It's about creating a four-person group considering the level and personality."

I see. My father, mother, and three brothers are family management.

It is true that three of them are always on standby.

 

While being the son (the eldest son) of a mahjong shop

Professor Masahiro started playing mahjong with his friends when he was a student.

It seems that he has not received any guidance from his father or mother.

In the past, I saw an acquaintance that he had not been able to escape at night due to gambling.

I was shocked.

There may have been something like a conflict.

 

Still, when I was a college student, I started to help my family business during the daytime.

He said he had decided to get a job, but he did.

"As a result of the family meeting, this is the case," he said.

Sweet. (^∇^)

 

That's why I hate being disturbed.

So that harmony is always maintained

It is supported by careful consideration.

 

Well, in fact, I'm also making my OL debut in the middle of the bubble.

His bosses at that time have been taught all kinds of play, and mahjong is one of them. 。 。

Also, it has been 20 years to play game consoles on the way to work or in the toilet.

It is often said that continuation is power.

At first, even though level 1 was lost to game consoles.

Even at level MAX, I was usually overwhelmed by game consoles.

 

Then, when it comes to it, you really want to play against a raw person at the mahjong table.

So, five years ago, I opened the door of the Ginza Family Mahjong Classroom for the first time.

 

Currently, in the classroom

Including those who were interested in seeing Mr. Masahiro's blog

A young person who is inspired by the popular manga "Saki" (a live-action drama, film adaptation)

It seems that there are some Chinese people who are authentic.

Although there are some differences in local rules

If you know the basic rules

It is also the attraction of mahjong that a new encounter is born immediately around the mahjong table.

 

And again, because this is a classroom

Even a completely beginner can teach you politely from the first step.

You can also bring food and drink!

 

If so far, "the world you don't know."

If not,

It's a place where you can feel free, energetic, and comfortable.

If there is something that touches the koto line

By all means, please knock on a new door!!

Hana peach flowering, the best time to see it is now

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] April 3, 2018 14:00

hanam201801.JPG

On the Tsukiji River site, Tsukiji 2-chome side between Tsukijibashi and Irifunebashi, Hana Momo began to bloom colorfully this year.

It is the pink part of the map below.

hanam201800.jpg

Three colors, darker and clearer pink than Yoshino cherry tree, and white and red, shine in the sun.

hanam201802.JPG

The flower peach around here is broom-standing, and many flowers bloom on branches extending toward the sky.

hanam201803.JPG

Hana peaches in front of "Weird Hotel Tokyo Ginza", which just opened in February this year, and "Ginza Capital Hotel Main Building" seem to be blooming particularly quickly.

hanam201804.JPG

It is the same as Yoshino cherry tree that blooms before the leaves are put out, but the appearance of blooming so tightly that it covers the branches is wonderful.

hanam201805.JPG

As of March 30, it is not in full bloom yet, so you can enjoy Hana Momo for a while.

When you come to Tsukiji 2-chome or Shintomi 2-chome, please stop by and take a look.

Hie-jinja Shrine Nihonbashi auxiliary shrine is located at Hie-jinja Shrine in Akasaka.

resting place of portable shrines. As "Sanno-san" in Nihonbashikayabacho

It's popular with people.

The Tokyo Stock Exchange and other nearby cities are also located in central Tokyo.

When you enter the precincts, it is a quiet space that is released from the hustle and bustle.

It's a stone carving art.

You can accept it.
