A special exhibition commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Mitsui Bunko and the 10th anniversary of the Mitsui Memorial Museum.
As the second installment in spring, it will be held at the Mitsui Memorial Museum in Nihonbashi until the end of January next year.

 

During the Edo period, as a Matsuzaka merchant in Ise, he set up a store in Nihonbashi (Otemmacho → Surugacho) and a kimono shop.
And as a money exchanger, through the turbulent period of late Tokugawa shogunate and Meiji, today
It can be said that the traditional heirlooms collected up to the point gathered together.

"2015 Gathering of International Exchange in Chuo-ku"

[Marsha Horiuchi of Edo] Nov. 25, 2015 14:00

The event was held at Tsukiji Social Education Center on Saturday afternoon, November 21.

I have participated in the "Gathering of International Exchange".

 

It was full of people who were interested in Chuo-ku and people from various countries.
Kendama, quoits, Karuta, flower tags, lucky laughter, Soroku, Hajiki, Hagoita, spinning top, ink painting (pictured is my work), furoshiki wrapping,
(Cizumi, Oden, Sri Lankan tea break corner), I enjoyed the shamisen experience corner while getting used to it.

 
In addition, Japanese culture is easily introduced, such as tea ceremony, kimono try-on, dance, ikebana, etc.
I think it was a fun time for foreigners. Maybe you want to learn Japanese casually.
It was a day when I felt that I needed more and more to deal with inbound.

"Namishi Inari Shrine outside Tsukiji" (City Tour 10)

[Marsha Horiuchi of Edo] Nov. 9, 2015 16:00

We took a walk a little in front of the whole Chuo-ku Museum on November 1 and the bus guide in the afternoon.

 

1) At Fukutoku Shrine in COREDO Muromachi, rent a Chuo-ku community cycle (bicycle) and go around the shrine.
It may be perfect for running on flat ground with an electric bicycle, and return PORT is also available in Nihonbashi, Kyobashi, and
There are a few in Ginza and Tsukishima, and it looks like a settlement with PASMO, etc., and it looks like a new city.
→From Chuo-dori to Ginza via Nihonbashi and Kyobashi, the event "Ginza Hatcho Tour" will be held until November 3rd.
1-chome Ko Inari Shrine, Ginza Inari Shrine (Rooftop of the building), Ryuko fudoson (Rooftop of the building), Asahi Inari Shrine
I went around half. Next year, I'll take some time to go around everything.

 

2) It is "Tsukiji Namishi Inari Shrine" located in the back of Tsukiji Temple, also serving as lunch. Since the opening of Edo, reclaimed land
While many had to be made, here at Tsukiji Sea surface, no matter how much dike was built, it was the hardest place to be exposed to the waves.
One day, when I picked up glowing objects floating in the sea, it was the god of Inari Oga.
When shrine hall was built and visited, the wind stopped and the landfill was completed in 1659.
A pair of lion heads that appear at the Tsukiji Lion Festival in June every year are located on the precincts and are a masterpiece.
