[Silver] May 7, 2018 12:00

 Every year, it is decided that "May 5 is a day to go to see the Ginza willow Festival". It was the twelfth time as soon as possible.

This year's opening ceremony was attended by Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike as a guest.

 There was also a haven art performance.

In the place of Kodomo Airada-Ginza, children were crazy about making their works.

At the "Welcome Ginza" corner, lively songs and dances of "Sakuragawa-ryu Sakuragawa Chiyosukesha Nakaedo Geisha (Ginza Ondo)" related to Ginza and "Gujo Odori" by Gujo-Hachiman were performed. I've got a lot of energy.

There was a willow present from Ginza, and I also received one. There was also a quiz about willow trees, and I twisted my head a little. I would like to report on the history of willow in Ginza in detail on another blog.

The fun Ginza Yanagi Festival ended in no time, but I would like to express my deepest respect to the executive committee members who have been carefully prepared for a long time and those who have been dispatched in volunteeria. Thank you very much.
