May 05, 2016 Teppozu Inari Shrine Reitaisai festival Performance
Date and time: May 5 (Thursday / holiday) 1:30 pm (open at 1:00 pm)
Location: Akashi Elementary School Gymnasium　

※It will be performed at Akashi Elementary School Gymnasium for the renovation of the shrine. Please bring your shoes and shoes bag. 

   As mentioned above, it seems to be held at Akashi Elementary School on May 5th. Last fall, I saw a performance at Yasuaki Elementary School as an "Autumn Ginza" event, but it was quite good.　At first, I thought it was a school festival, but why was it quite a full-fledged one that made me think that I was an elementary school student in Chuo-ku, Tokyo.

　Last fall performance

　The cherry blossom season is over again this year, and we strolled around Tsukuda Park, which is entering early summer. The photo doesn't look different, but for the elderly, if you think about how many times you can see the cherry blossoms later, you can feel the taste of peanuts. (Hereinafter, photos are taken on April 13, 15:30-16:30).

　In Ishikawajima Park, a "birth memorial tree" that can be handed by Chuo-ku is planted. Anjiro Ozu's work is set in the Kansai area called "Autumn of the Kobayakawa Family", but in this last scene, while watching the smoke coming out of the brick chimney of the crematorium, Chishu Ryu and Yuko Mochizuki, Even if a person dies, a new expression will be born later, saying, "I'm deeply moved." For an old man like me, looking at such a "birth memorial tree" reminds me of this expression "senguri, senguri".

　In Tsukuda Park, cherry blossoms are almost turned into cherry blossoms.

　Below, we look at the part that describes the front and back of the cherry blossom season in Kafu's "Shokutei Nijo".

April 4, 1918 (1918), "Han Yin Hanharu. I'm going to open it to the cherry blossoms."

　　April 16 "Half cherry blossoms at Yasukuni Shrine fall."

March 25, 1919, "Sakura blossoms in all parts of the city have already opened."

　　March 28 "... Walk the Sumizumi embankment. Cherry blossoms have already opened as dots."

　　March 30 "Look at the cherry blossoms at Tsukiji Honganji Temple. If this temple is new to Dou and has few trees on the precincts and the most scenic spots among the temples in the city, it will be extra.

　　　　　Despite coming and living in the streets, he never pulled his cane. The cherry blossoms are blooming on this day, and the sight of the precincts is compared to weekdays.

I can add 　　　　　a little sense of painting."

　　April 14 "... Watch the cherry blossoms at the night of the head of Kudansha."

　　April 17 "Walking in the afternoon. Walk through Shibakoen after Shaincho Street. The cherry blossoms are full of fresh green drops in the mountains. On the way home in front of Kabukiza Kido

　　　　　In the past, the color of the flower curtain faded, and the cherry blossoms became young shoots. The spring of the Tokyo gate is not already exhausted."

April 7, 1921 (Taisho 10 (1921) "Wind blowing crazy and rain starts in the evening." Cherry blossoms, the weather is not suitable for holiday every day. 1913 "Okubo Tayori"

　　　　　When I write, the flowers open and there are many windy days, but I don't remember anything. "

April 13, like the flowers falling and trees, the grass is like the smoke of the tree.

　According to De Niro's information, Mr. Kno, Mr. Mura, Mr. Nno, etc. also participated in the off-party the other day.

　You can feel the motivation of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association from the new fiscal year.

　I'm a Jijii correspondent, but I tried to further suppress the modest attitude on a daily basis, be careful not to disturb young people, and I wanted to participate ...

　However, on that day, I was unfortunately absent because I guided the foreign unit to Tsukiji Market.

　By the way, according to Mr. Suisei's information (according to the Wild Bird Society of Japan), "It was a gathering of about 20 people, of which 7 were from Kansai." If so, the ratio of Kansai people among the correspondents was quite high.

　Jijii also became a second-year correspondent, retired quietly, and thought that he would return his interest in Kansai again, but this year he renewed his determination to do his best in Chuo-ku, Tokyo. .

　In addition, it was the first time that I used it with the license of an interpreter guide, but I think that the Olympics are near, I would like to whip on old bones, and pay attention to this again .

　Diversity theory of correspondent "Scarlettei Suisei"? I will read (April 12), hurry up, and post.

　Certainly, I remember as if I had been with you at the last off-party. Unfortunately, this time there was a previous engagement (as an alibi not an excuse /archive/author/201511/), and I was rude. If I attended, I was able to raise the ratio of Kansai people further (laughs) ...

　I grew up in Chuo-ku, Osaka (formerly Minami-ku) until I entered university and came to Tokyo. Therefore, the sound of "Tokyo" has a sense of resistance, and the disgust of Kanto dialect still remains. I really sympathized with Taeko Tomioka's statement of "the suffering that cannot be understood" in Tokyo. Twenty-three days ago, Shinya Yamanaka told me on a TV program that others said, "Even if I speak in English, Kansai dialect."

　I think there are types of Kansai people who completely erase their traces in words and other things (for example, Masataka Hemi, I recently saw on TV programs) and types like me that do not make such "effort" at least conscious and consciously.

　I didn't have the intention of taking the "Nanzo" sightseeing test "Chuo-ku, Tokyo" sightseeing test "Nanzo", but it's strange that I took the test for the first time last year and served as a "tourist association correspondent". I think it is.　However, thanks to the fact that I was able to learn the history of Chuo-ku, literally the center of Tokyo, "Shinsei Edo" was a great harvest. Since becoming a correspondent of the Tourism Association, he has been interested in the history of Chuo-ku, Tokyo, especially the former Nihonbashi-ku, through books by genuine Tokyo people such as Junichirou Tanizaki and Yasaburo Ikeda.

As Mr. Suio said, "I'm interested in the correspondent of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association, but I'm not from Chuo-ku or living ..." If there is no relationship, please join us. "

However, just as internationalization should not mean "statelessness," universalization should not become "Tokyo" even in Japan (at least culturally). In the first place, as Junichirou Tanizaki says, Tokyo is not the center of Japan (especially cultural) but rather the "gateway to Tohoku."

More Theory of diversity by Mr. "Scarlet Tei Suisei"? About it

　Today (April 9), a total of nine students, eight U.S. university students and one attendant instructor, were invited to the Tsukiji Market in response to an acquaintance.

　On Saturday, Tsukiji Market was noticeable by visitors, especially foreigners. Chinese people don't know from their appearance, so the ratio of foreigners seems to be quite high.

　I will focus on photos where the face is difficult to identify as much as possible.

　In addition, I have obtained a license (English) of an interpreter guide, but according to today's Yomiuri Shimbun, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism has revised the law (deregulation) so that even non-qualified employees can be guided for a fee. It seems to be in the direction. It seems to be a measure to further promote the inbound business and to welcome the Olympics smoothly.

There were quite a lot of people outside the venue

Although the cherry blossoms have already begun to fall, we walked along the banks of the Sumida River to Tsukuda while watching the cherry blossoms.

The newly renovated red torii gate of Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine is still noticeable.

A sushi making class by veteran craftsmen in a guest room of a certain apartment in Tsukuda.

　Everyone, we made one serving more dexterously than expected and had lunch. I was quite good at using chopsticks.

　It's a photo that doesn't look different, but it's a record of the old man's diary. (Photos were taken on April 6 from 15:30 to 17:00)

　I'm sad when I wonder how many more times I can see the cherry blossoms, but last night I saw a talk between Toko Shinoda and Shigeaki Hinohara on TV, and Shinoda's words left an impression.
