The other day, I got two books published by Chuo-ku, so I will introduce them.

１．"Bridge of Chuo-ku, Hashizume Plaza-Chuo-ku Modern Bridge Survey-"

(Edited and issued by the Chuo-ku Board of Education in 1998 / ¥1,900 (at the time of issuance))

I've written on this blog before, but I, May Rain George likes an unrivaled bridge. The spiritual man says that my ancestors were bridge craftsmen (surveying and design).

※A previous bridge-related article
/archive/2017/07/post-4453.html (Street of Bridge)

/archive/2017/05/-2322270.html (about the bridge and its name)

"Chuo-ku Bridge / Hashizume Plaza-Chuo-ku Modern Bridge Survey-" was shown by the owner of a long-established restaurant acquaintance in Ningyocho. When I contacted the ward office, it was already out of print. I really wanted it, so I found it online. Somethings in a very good condition were available cheaply.

▲At the time of publication, it was introduced in the Asahi Shimbun.

As described in the "Chuo-ku Cultural Properties Survey Report Vol. 5", this report investigates all bridges in Chuo-ku from a professional standpoint of modern bridges built from the Meiji era to the early Showa era. It is.
The contents are broadly divided into <Part 1 length / analysis> <Part 2 ledger> and <Part 3 material>. In the first part, we analyze bridges in Chuo-ku from various perspectives, such as time-specific, bridge design characteristics, earthquake disaster and reconstruction. The second part summarizes the history, characteristics, and design of all bridges across each river, along with photographs and drawings. Part 3 summarizes the date of groundbreaking and completion, length, width, format, construction cost, etc. in a list.
This report on about 360 pages, including A4 size and color pages, contains photographs of the bridge that are currently reclaimed by the river and only the name of the bridge remains, and photographs of the bridge before it was newly rebuilt and its surroundings. I think that it has increased its presence as a valuable historical material.

２．"Walking in Chuo Ward---Visit Historic Sites and History-" 9 books

(Edited and published by the Public Relations Office, Chuo-ku Planning Department)

The second book is "Walking in Chuo Ward--Visit Historic Sites and History-". This is a new book version of the "Walking in the Ward", which was serialized in the public relations paper of Chuo-ku from 1985 to 2010, which has been further enhanced. After the first volume was published in 1988, it was published in the world every few years, two and three volumes, and completed in 2013 by the publication of the ninth volume (final volume).

It is "Chuo Mayor" that writes "First" at the beginning of each book, but I also respect that Mr. Hidehide Yada has been serving as mayor by himself for the past 25 years of publication of these nine books. I want to show it.

▲"Walking in Chuo Ward"

Shonoro Yamanaka's exhibition "Various White Time" is being held at St. Luke's First Gallery at the restaurant entrance on the first floor of the main building of St. Luke's International Hospital in Akashicho.

This is an annual exhibition by pastel painters.

Yamanaka's exhibition has been introduced several times in this blog.

The casual gestures of cats, humorous poses, lovely expressions, beautiful eyes, etc. are beautifully expressed in pastel paintings and rubbing brush paintings.

This time, I thought there were many new works that captured the moments of dynamic movement.

The period is until 16:00 on February 9th (Sat).

At the venue, postcards and one-stroke notes are also sold.

It's a big season to go outside, but works that make you feel warm are waiting for you.

Please drop in

In addition, this time, we received the consent of the person who was in the Hiari corridor about the photography in the gallery, and we were able to hear stories about the schedule of the next exhibition.

Thank you very much

Sunday, February 3 I went to the Setsubun Festival at Suitengu Shrine in Nihonbashikakigaracho. The main purpose is bean-throwing ceremony, a special guest. At around 13:30, the first and second parts consisted of two parts, lined up in the corridor on the first floor of Suitengu. Wait about an hour, and the entrance starts around 14:30. For bean-throwing ceremony, the worshipers who had entered before were sent out and replaced. The general moderator on the stage is Shinichi Ishihara, a singer, voice actor, and actor who is active in anison such as "Masked Rider AGITO". At around 14:50, the festival attendees bean-throwing ceremony began. At the end of that, a special guest will finally appear, this time, Chieko Mizutani (Tomochika) and Kotaro Yachi, who will be performing at "Tonchini Shogun Ikyu Nee-san" from February 22 to March 4 at Meijiza It was. After a light talk with Mr. Ishihara, the moderator, bean-throwing ceremony started. In a loud cheer, bean-throwing ceremony was smiling. Next guests were Yosuke Taikawa and Kumiko Fujiyoshi. I was bean-throwing ceremony with my acquaintance with the priest of Suitengu Shrine. At around 15:30, the first part is over, and the second part is left for replacement.

In order to enter the second part, you have to line up at the end. The first part of the second part is a mini-live. The performers were Shinichi Ishihara, the general moderator, Satoko Yamano of Doraemon's song, and Isao Bito of Joe tomorrow. Shinichi Ishihara's powerful `` Anison Medley '', Satoko Yamano's transparent nursery rhyme and Doraemon's song, and nostalgic Isao Bito's `` Tango of red demon and blue demon '' and `` Joe of tomorrow '' I was intoxicated by the wonderfulness of each singer. Next is bean-throwing ceremony, a general participant. Participation fee is 5,000 yen for adults and 2,000 yen for children. Many people were participating. After that, it was a special guest, bean-throwing ceremony. In addition, Satoko Yamano's "Satoko Sister and Hand Play Pokapoka Children's Stage" was held after 5:00, but I am sorry that I could not see it due to priority to children.

“clothing clothes”, “kisararai”, “seisararai”, etc.
There are various theories about the etymology of Kisaragi.

Among them, the theory that "the moon where grass shoots protrude" turned.
I want to win a vote in a sense. 。 。

In February of the new calendar, the cold is still severe, and the plums at Kiyomasa Koji Temple are plums.
It has the beauty of winter trees.

　

On the calendar, spring begins.

"Plum" is the coldest season of the year when it blooms.
But it's the spring season.

I feel the coming of spring. This sensibility is wonderful.

It's almost time to release Kiyoka after cold bitterness.

This is a rosemary sea, which decides on a genre for "gifts and enjoys myself".

　

I visited a long-established Japanese paper shop in Nihonbashi, Haibara.

This is a continuation of the previous edition, which I introduced.

　

Then I would like to introduce the product.

※　We have obtained the consent of Haibara Public Relations Co., Ltd. regarding the posting, image shooting, and posting of articles.

　

Hexagonal brush tube 972 yen

This is a folding brush tube using Mr. Haibara's original Chiyogami, which was introduced in December.

It can be used to organize small items such as brushes and pens, glasses and remote controls.

It will be sold in a state where it is folded flat.

Therefore, it is not easy to carry, but it is also appreciated as a souvenir overseas.

　

864 yen

This is a hand mirror made from Haibara's original Chiyogami. Comes with a plastic case.

It is gorgeously tailored based on the Kichijo pattern that has been handed down since the Meiji and Taisho eras. It fits the kimono well.

It is light and easy to carry, so you can put it in a pouch or bag and use it for everyday use.

I wonder if it would be a petit gift for women.

　

Chiyogami small box 864 yen

This item is smaller than the Chiyogami sentence box I introduced last time.

It can be used for small items and business card holders.

　

Japanese paper "Stripe to Cherry Blossoms"

　　　　"Choyo"

　　　　"Rokka" 756 yen each

Haibara's three patterns of Chiyogami are highlighted on high-quality handmade Japanese paper.

Unlike normal embossed processing, the back side is not dented.

It can be used for a variety of purposes.

　

Colored glass left: Pink right: 432 yen each in white

Haibara's pattern, "Colored Glass" pattern.

　

Middle: Haibara Note

This was also introduced in December.

This is a notebook with Haibara's traditional Chiyogami on the cover. A size that is easy to fit in your hand.

It's also convenient to carry.

On the middle paper, Mr. Haibara's ruled decoration of the Meiji era (Kei: one line, ruled line written on stationery that assists writing together) is reprinted and finished with thread binding.

　

Chiyogami Photo Frame (Shiyo, Color Glass, etc.) ¥2,916

It is made into a photo frame using Haibara's traditional Chiyogami.

Please use it with a photo of your memories. The modern Japanese pattern blends with the atmosphere of the room, regardless of Japanese or Western.

Also, if you cut a little postcard and put it in a frame, it will be a very nice interior.

At the same time, I wonder if it can be used as a souvenir for overseas use.

Japanese-style memo 540 yen

A note with perforated perforation that is easy to tear is spelled with a string.

The cover is Chiyogami pattern, and the inside is 50 sheets of plain white paper.
