The ladder of Hamarikyu's hawk and relay race support

[saru] January 6, 2019 12:00

On the 3rd, following last year's New Year's Day, we went to see a demonstration of hawk art at Hamarikyu Onshi Garden. This is held every year on the New Year because Hamarikyu was the shogun's falconry ground.

Some of the customers who wanted to do it challenged and flew to their arms properly.

Demonstration of sudden descending from the adjacent building to the prey. Last year, a lot of flying birds and crows flew around and threatened, so I fell down the tree on the way.

This year, the hawk descended in a straight line toward the prey.

There is also a store in the park, and we received "Shogun Zoni" from the Kabukiza store. He seems to reproduce the zoni eaten by the general, and his body warmed.

After preparing the stomach for the time being, go to support the Ekiden.

It seemed to pass Chuo-dori from Kyobashi to Eitai-dori St. at about 13 o'clock, so I walked to the intersection of Yaesu Street. When we arrive, there are quite a lot of supporters and brass bands from run university coming along the roadside and it is exciting. After a while, the leading runner came and cheered a lot.

It's like the last spurt, probably because the goal of Otemachi is near.

It was a day when I could enjoy the realism of life, different from watching on TV.
