[Dimini ☆ Cricket] February 3, 2019 12:00

On Friday, February 1, I went to "Fugen Sha Rakuken" Yanagiya Yanagiya Yanagiya Rakugo Night, which started at 7:00 p.m.

It seems to be the 20th time.

In commemoration of the 20th, Yanagi's banner was renewed.

The venue is Tsukiji 1-chome, the second floor of the Tsukiji Garden Building, Communication Gallery Fugen.

It's the red spot on the map below.

The performer is Yanagiya Yanagiya of "Sankyo Ichimon".

It was 2 hours in a flash after the start of 7 o'clock with two seats across the middle.

The performances are "Teacher's Story" and "House Cat", plenty of pillows, Yanagi-san, a great performance.

The proximity of the distance to the performer is completely different from other vaudevilles.

Rakugo listening to Hanakin (old) night while drinking coffee with one drink was the best!

One week's fatigue can be blown away by Yanagi's story, and the weekend can be greeted comfortably.

By the way, at the venue, a photo exhibition of monochrome owned by Fugen is currently being held entitled "The World of Monochrome-Fugen-sha Collection Exhibition".

The period is until Saturday, February 16.

Beautiful Japanese paper product first part-Washi paper shop Haibara

[rosemary sea] February 3, 2019 09:00

The rosemary sea is an accord to cover "gifts and enjoy yourself."

 

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

Since I visited in October of last year, the article has been the first time in one year and three months.

 

Mr. Haibara has been in business for more than 200 years since 1806 (3 years of culture).

We handle a wide range of paper products from Japanese paper and Japanese paper accessories to stationery and letter sets.

From the Imperial Family to successive ministers, British rockstars and Queen's Freddie Mercury, we have responded to the needs of everyone.

 

I have a lot of friends in the production.

Yumeji Takehisa, Kyosai Kawanabe (Kyosai Kawanabe), Hoitsu Sakai (Itsuho), Shibata Zeshin, etc.

 

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.

IMG_20190107_130039 (2)a.jpg

540 yen per patterned pouch bag 3 pieces.

This is a new release that I introduced in December.

Based on the design of "Ise Katagami" transmitted to Mr. Haibara, it is tailored to a peti bag.

Spelling box serpentine letter paper letter set (Shiyo)

                (Colored Glass)  1,080 yen each

Ten envelopes with 90 patterns of stationery

Snakeside stationery is a product born from the traditional idea of "winding paper".

The gentle ground texture is made of thick and high-quality paper, and you can enjoy a clean feeling of writing.

It's a set of envelopes and stationery. They are stored in Haibara's original Chiyogami pattern sentence box.

There is a perforation for each fold of the stationery, and you can cut it out after writing.

It can be used for short writing notes and long letters. You can use it according to the length of your letter.

In addition, the hem pattern with the same pattern as the stationery is also drawn on the envelope.

Store it as a sentence box with a pen or stamp, and let us know whenever you come up with it.

Would you like to put it at hand as a tool box for your own time?

 

IMG_20190107_130332 (2)a.jpg

Letter set 756 yen 3 types

The horizontal serpentine letter paper is the horizontal type of serpentine letter paper.

It is a letter set containing 60 horizontal serpentine letter paper and 6 horizontal envelopes.

Since it uses a slightly thicker paper than ordinary belly stationery, it can also be used as a card.

 

IMG_20190107_130355 (2)a.jpg

Small bellow letter paper 540 yen 5 kinds

In the past five species, new patterns of "birds on the waves", "arrow grass", "hemp leaves", "Yamamichi", "matsu and wisteria", and "Rokuhana" have appeared.

"Yamamichi" reminiscent of a beautiful mountain scenery, "Pine and wisteria" snuggle up with each other.

These two patterns are made of natural appearance.

"Slightly Snake Belly Sticker" is palm size version. It can also be used instead of a small message card.

60 serpentine notes. It is also included in a match box-like case with 5 pet bags. You can also put it in a bag.

I wonder if it's perfect for a petit gift.

Remote Island Department Store in Nihonbashi & Remote Island Kitchen Nihonbashi Store

[Silver] February 2, 2019 12:00

 In YUITO Nihonbashi Muromachi Nomura Building B1, there is a remote island department store and a remote island kitchen inside the store.

As I passed through Chuo-dori, I suddenly saw the basement of the YUITO Building, and I was worried about it before, so I went and saw it.

1548799200249.jpg

 Remote Island Department Stores: Special products from remote islands in Japan are on sale.

 

The design of the shopping bag of "ruddy kingfisher" is very nice. 

1548799263485.jpg

  The warm atmosphere of Amami reminiscent of Isson Tanaka's work is transmitted.

 

 I received a booklet explaining about the remote island kitchen. 

According to the report, the remote island kitchen is operated by a tourist association in Kaido-cho, Shimane Prefecture. We offer ingredients and dishes not only from our own islands, but also from other islands. By doing so, I dream that islands across the country can hold hands and share connections that cross the boundaries of prefectures with people and customers all over the country. I am.

 

 The interior decoration of the restaurant also creates the atmosphere of a remote island.

Goto Islands's ballamon kite and Eve-green.

1548799280308.jpg

The word "Delicious Foods & Drinks from Japanese isolated islands" is imprinted on business cards.

 

In the daily lunch, the “Island Fly Set Meal” on this day included Muroaji Menchikatsu in Hachijojima Island, Tokyo, oyster fries in Kurahashijima, Hiroshima Prefecture, fried dumplings of lemon pork in Iwaki Island, Ehime Prefecture, Kibinago in Koshikijima, Kagoshima Prefecture, and Anno potatoes on Yakushima Island. The thirst was moistened by using craft beer, stir-fried potatoes using rock seaweed from Mikurajima Island, and miso peanuts from Tokunoshima, Kagoshima Prefecture.

1548799294992.jpg

 It is a shop that can be used for a short break.

The sidewalk in Chuo-ku is interesting! 24 [Retro Things]

[Minato kid] February 2, 2019 09:00

Hello, this is Minato kid.

There are a variety of public things on the sidewalk. Not only town information boards and monuments, but also if you look up a little, signs, traffic lights, curve mirrors, etc. that protect the safety of pedestrians, and if you look at your feet, you will be drawn on manhole patterns and pavement tiles The pictures will catch our eyes and delight us.

Today, even in such a situation, I collected illustrations with nostalgic touches and retro ones with rare modeling.

♪ Various information boards

ret01m.jpg

This is a tourist information board found on the sidewalk of Tsukuda Nakadori. Handwritten pictures and letters will be fun just by looking at them! Under the title of "Tsukuda / Tsukishima Walking Map", here we introduce Tsukuda Island is the birthplace of Tsukudani, River City 21, Ishikawajima Lighthouse Ruins, etc., and Monja Street, Tsukishima Kannon, a little further We stretch and guide Kachidokibashi.

ret02m.jpg

This is the Sumida River Terrace. This panel is installed on the wall on the sidewalk at Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge. Introducing creatures gathering on the terrace, such as fish and wild birds, and how the water quality deteriorated in the 1930s improved using graphs. The graph part is open and closed.

♪ Flower bed on the sidewalk

ret03m.jpg

A green plate with the word "flower azalea of the ward" stands on the flower bed on the sidewalk. It looks like it was installed in the city. It's a plate that you don't see much now, so it may be a long time ago. It is the same type, and the right is the "tree of the ward".

♪ This and so on

ret05m.JPG

This mark was found on Namiki-dori St. in Ginza, which is prohibited from poisting. This is embedded in the pavement of the sidewalk. Currently, the design is different from the mark seen on the sidewalk in Chuo-ku, so it may be a long time ago.

ret20m.jpg

It is a plate that calls for dog manners, often installed on pillars on the sidewalk and concrete walls. It states, "Please connect when walking" and "Let's bring back dog droppings properly."

ret07m.JPG
It's a bit hard to see, but this is a sharp picture touch, saying, "Let's keep your dog connected" and "don't forget registration and vaccination."

ret04m.jpg

It is a signboard that prohibits ball play, installed in Tsukuda Park. I like an illustration with a nostalgic feeling!

ret19m.jpg

This is a precautionary note installed on the Sumida River Terrace and the protective fence. Requests to terrace users include the precautions for walking dogs, not entering the planting, and not throwing away garbage. The illustration of the dog is cute.

♪ A lot of water

ret10m.jpg

It is a water supply installed in a park in the Minato area. The shape of the stump is fairy tale. The table on which children ride when drinking water is also a small stump. The iron fence part has a wooden pattern and is quite elaborate. This worried design doesn't fade over time.

ret11m.jpg

It's the water supply of Tsukuda moat. The iron fence is shaped like a pigeon.

ret12m.JPG

It is a water supply installed in a park in the Tsukuda area. It looks like a potted plant. There is a plate called "Please cooperate with water saving Chuo-ku". The season is coming.

♪ Astringent

ret13m.JPG

It is a well found along the Shin-ohashi-dori St. The manufacturer could not be identified, but various wells can be found in various parts of Chuo-ku. Wells have trademarks and numbers, but there are so many types, so it's interesting to compare them.

ret14m.JPG

This is a bulletin board on the sidewalk found in the Tsukishima area. The notice part is green board and the eaves are also wooden. Nowadays, there are not many wooden bulletin boards left. It's very valuable.

ret15m.jpg

This is a public telephone installed in a park in the Minato area. The round roof is illuminated, and the door is attached to the table where the telephone is installed. Recently, the number of public telephones has decreased. The appearance feels nostalgic, but the phone inside is relatively new.

ret16m.png

It is a stone fire prevention water tub found in each area of Chuo-ku. Fire tubs are often placed in front of the entrance of the house. A long time ago, we stored water here in case of emergency.

"When the sparks flew in the air raid, I drained water from the tub and went home so that it would not cause a fire," said a local person.

※ The fire prevention water tub I met this time contained the personal name, so I will introduce it with illustrations. Thank you for your understanding.


ret17m.jpg♪ Stylish object

It is a clock tower located on a terrace in the Nihonbashi Hakozaki area.

There's a cute object on the top. There's a small child on the helicopter.

This is a clock tower built in commemoration of the expansion and maintenance of the Sumida River Terrace when the construction of the Eidan Hanzomon Line was carried out in 2001.


ret21m.jpg

♪ Flowers of local people

As an old landscape of Chuo-ku, you can see many potted plants lined up at the eaves.

In areas where private houses are dense and there is little green, it seems that it was customary to put potted plants in order to feel the flowers as close as possible. In addition to such potted plants, you can also see flower beds grown in the town council.

When you see the flowers blooming beautifully, you feel like there is a smile of people there, and we walking naturally feel fun. The sidewalk in Chuo-ku is interesting!

sappos201901.JPG

It's Saposen Tudiaki, a delicious Italian restaurant that is close to the company and is often used for lunch.

I've introduced it in this blog before.

sappos201902.JPG

The place is a little bit from Tsukiji 1-chome, Heisei-dori. It's right next to Chuo-ku government office.

It's the place in red on the map below.

sappos201900.jpg

Today, we order "bacon and kaponata risotto" from the lunch menu.

sappos201903.JPG

First of all, appetizer plate

The sour oil dressing on the salad enhances your appetite.

It also comes with kish and soft chicken.

sappos201904.JPG

It's the main risotto

Capenata is one of Italian dishes, which is fried eggplant in olive oil, fried vegetables such as zucchini, celery, and tomato, and lightly boiled with wine vinegar, sugar, spices, etc.

Rich taste, risotto full of vegetables is delicious.

"Saposen Tudiaki" is based in regional cuisine, Sardinia, Italy, and enjoys Italian at a reasonable price.

The shop was open at 11:30, and when I went around 12:00 on the day, it was almost full.

We recommend that you enter the store early.
