"Minatoya Painting Paper Shop"－－It's a name I've heard somewhere.
Yes, it's the name of the store that Yumeji Takehisa opened in Nihonbashi Gofukumachi (now Yaesu 1-chome) in 1914.
At present, a monument stands on the premises of Mizuho Trust Bank head office in Yaesu 1-chome-The upper left side is a poster of "Minatoya" drawn by Yumeji as a ceramic plate, and the right side is "Yoimachikusa". Lyrics are engraved. In the lower row, the origin of the monument is explained.
On the other side of Kiyosubashi-dori in front of the temporary palace of Suitengu opposite Meijiza, there is a shop called "Minatoya Ezoku Paper Shop". The frontage is about one-way shop, but inside, there are lots of Japanese miscellaneous goods such as prints and postcards drawn by Yumeji Takehisa, fans with the signature of Yumeji, letter sets, etc.
In this shop, "GALLERY Minatoya", which specializes in Yumeji Takehisa's works, has been selling Japanese miscellaneous goods as a "Minatoya Ezoku Paper Store" for more than 20 years with the consent of Yumeji Takehisa's bereaved family.
When a woman enters, there are various miscellaneous goods and it is likely to be noticeable, and it is cute and I can't help but buy something. Please take a look when you come to Meijiza or Suitengu Shrine.
