This is the rosemary sea, which covers "gifts and enjoy yourself" as a command.

　　

　

This time, Mr. Uchimura, Marketing Promotion Department, Pentel Co., Ltd., approved the publication of the article and provided images.

　

Pentel Co., Ltd., a major stationery manufacturer.

Its roots were that wholesalers of brushes, ink, and inkstones were run in Asakusa.

In 1946, he moved to the current location of Nihonbashikoamicho and established Dai Nippon stationery Co., Ltd.

In 1971, the company name was changed to Pentel Co., Ltd.

　

What is the origin of the company name Pentel?

A coined word that combines painting (drawing with paint, etc.) and pastel (solid drawing material).

It is also said to include the meaning of pen (pen), a general term for writing instruments, and the meaning of Teru (telling) in "communication / expression".

It is such a naming that expresses the establishment of a painting material manufacturer well and symbolizes the product and business content.

　

Next, Mr. Pentel's growth was the catalyst for his growth.

※　The story from here was heard by a lecturer during the “Fat Transport Guide Training” (training for boat guides) that I attended last November.

　

In 1963, Pentel autograph pen was released.

As you all know, it's still a popular product.

(Even at Rosmari's office, the red and black autograph pens are always from Pentel.)

　

However, after eight years of research, this portable aqueous mechanical pen was not sold at all in Japan at first.

　

However, the following year, this will lead to unexpected and surprising episodes.

　

One of the autograph pens distributed at trade fairs in the United States was then US President: To Lindon Johnson's hand.

President Johnson, I was impressed by the writing and decided to use this autograph pen.

The president ordered 24 dozens (288) at a time.

When this is conveyed in a magazine, orders are flooded ...

Pentel's autom Pentel became popular in the United States.

It will be very popular in Japan after this.

　

This is also a story in the United States as a pen.

　

Ink drops down to the tip of the pen due to gravity.

Therefore, ballpoint pens cannot be used in space.

NASA (Aeronautics and Space Administration) was in trouble.

There is a limelight on the autograph pen.

The pen has a structure that absorbs ink without relying on gravity.

Focusing on this, NASA has designated a mechanical pen as an official space pen that can be used even in gravity-free spaces. The pen will board the manned space flight "Jemini" from 1965 to 1966 as a writing instrument used by astronauts.

　

Presently, the autograph pen is recognized worldwide and sold all over the world.

It has been a long-selling hit product for more than 50 years since the launch of the Pentel autograph pen.

The rosemary sea is a close-up of "gifts and I enjoy myself".

　　

　

Kuroeya, a long-established lacquerware company, was founded in Genroku 2 (1689), as I explained last time.

This time, I would like to talk about Mr. Kuroeya's history.

Mr. Tanaka, Managing Director of Kuroeya Co., Ltd., for permission to publish it.

　

The photo above shows Kuroeya's shop before the Great Kanto Earthquake.

　

Kuroeya's "Kuroe" is derived from Kuroe-mura, Nagusa-gun, Kii (currently Kainan City, Wakayama Prefecture). Hainan City is a warm hilly area belonging to the Setouchi climate adjacent to Wakayama City, Arida City, Kinokawa City, etc.

In the first year of Shoo during the Kamakura period (1288), Buddhist monk and others who were chased from Mt. Koya-san moved to Naga-gun, Kii Province, upstream of the Kino River and built Negoro-ji Temple.

And time passed during the Warring States period, Negoro-ji rebelled against Nobunaga Oda. Nobunaga was angry and ordered Hideyoshi to burn it down Negoro-ji Temple.

Negoro, which was famous as a production area of lacquerware, and the Buddhist monk who made Negoro paint there flowed to various places, and one group went to Kuroe Village downstream. It is said that this led to the spread of lacquerware making in Kuroe Village.

　

There is a person who came from Kuroe Village to Osaka first and from there to Edo.

My first and last name is unknown, but I opened a lacquerware shop in Nihonbashi Honmachi.

This is the roots of Kuroeya.

　

Mr. Kuroeya, the management right will be transferred in 1774.

M&A I'm talking about now. The new manager is Mr. Kashiwaya, the Kashiwabara family, which has continued to date.

He did a wide range of business, mainly in kimono booth wholesalers.

In 1856, the store was moved from Honmachi to its current location, and it continues to this day.

It is also derived from the Kashiwabara family that Kuroeya's trademark is "Kashiwa".

　

At that time, he served various daimyo, Ooku, etc., and since the Meiji era, he has also served the Imperial Household Ministry. It is also listed in the 1890 edition of the famous merchant family collection "Tokyo Shopping Guide".

Previously, the first floor was a high-quality lacquerware from all over the country, and the second and third floors were a sales floor for wedding furniture and furniture.

　

The ancestor of the Kashiwabara family was retainer, the Duke of Kato Kiyomasa, and opened a kimono and booth wholesale store in Kyoto during the Kanei era (1624-1643).

In addition, as an Edo store, we decided to have a wholesaler in Honmachi, such as booth items and cotton belonging to Edo Jugumi wholesalers.

There is a mansion about 300 years ago in Gojo, Kyoto, which now originated as a Kyosho person with an Edo store. In addition, the contents of the storehouse are displayed twice a year under the name of Rakuto Shihokan. At the Museum of Kyoto in Sanjo Takakura, Kyoto, a 1/20 model of Machiya from the Edo period is displayed.

　

This is about "Street Sanken" in Nihonbashi.

From the time of Edo Genroku, there were three lacquerware shops lined up along the streets of Nihonbashi in the Meiji, Taisho era, and Showa eras.

All are large shops (Odana), "Kiya", "Kinto", and "Kuroeya". It was commonly called "Sorisanken" by fellow traders and was popular until before the war.

"Kiya" is a lacquerware shop of a branch of Kiya, just like that "Kiya no Kiya".

Unfortunately, it went out of business after the war.

"Kinto" was named "Kondo" in a combination of the name of Oomiya and Fujiemon, but was later changed to "Kinto" because it was mistaken for "Kinto".

This lacquerware shop has also been transferred and closed immediately after the war.

Kuroeya continues to adhere to the precision of lacquer crafts and tradition at the base of Nihonbashi.

The current president of Kuroeya Kashiwabara Co., Ltd. is the 12th generation company.

The lacquerware sales business, the paper sales business dealing with board paper (Itagami), and the real estate leasing business are the three pillars of the current Kashiwabara family business.

This is a rosemary sea, whose mission is to cover "gifts and enjoy yourself."

　

Pentel Co., Ltd., headquartered in Nihonbashikoamicho.

During this graduation season, a campaign is being held within the "MY DESIGN" service.

Mr. Kodaira, Business Development Department, Domestic Sales Division, Pentel Co., Ltd. approved the publication of the article and provided images.

　

First of all, from the explanation of the MY DESIGN service.

What is MY DESIGN?

Pentel has a customized ballpoint pen product called i+ (Iplus).

Based on the concept of "enhancing your personality", a new form that allows you to choose not only the body and refill (replacement ink) as before, but also attach a commercially available earphone jack accessory to the pen top.

"MY DESIGN" is a service that allows users to easily specify the color and pattern of this i+ axis with a smartphone app and share and order.

・　You can order from 10 bottles, delivered in about 2 weeks.

・　This applies to i+3 bodys or 5 bodys.

・　You can choose about 140 different design materials, and of course you can take your favorite photos.

・　Download and create the application "MY DESIGN" for smartphones and tablets.

・・It looks very fun from the point of deciding the original design.

　

For example,...

・　In commemoration of graduation, everyone in the class

・　My friends, memories of the team

・　With original illustration

・　As a bridal gift

・　For a child's celebration

・・It can be used in various scenes depending on the idea.

　

Congratulations on your graduation from MY DESIGN! Introduction of Campaign.

Campaign period From January 20 (Fri) to March 31 (Fri), 2017, all those who ordered with MY DESIGN during this period will receive a "Brush Touch Signpoint Pen 5 Color Set" and "Exclusive Gift Box" that can be used as a graduation gift scene.

This is a rosemary sea, which covers "gifts and enjoy yourself" as an interface.

　

This time again, apart from the original "gift", I write with the belief that "sorting smile" is also a gift in a sense.

　

This is the fourth introduction to Senbikiya Sohonten as a rosmary, but it has not been introduced as it is.

　

Mr. Yamaguchi, Assistant Manager, Sales Division, Senbikiya Sohonten Co., Ltd., cooperated.

The sales headquarters is located on the opposite side of the shop. The first floor is the Mie Terrace of the antenna shop. (Photo on the right)

　

In the "Chuo-ku First Story Map" published by the Chuo-ku Tourism Association, Senbikiya is "Japan's first fruit specialty store".

　

Daijiro Oshima, the third generation, started a fruit specialty store by improving the quality of domestic fruits and importing foreign fruits and seeds. ・・ ・ This story was mentioned in the first introduction of Senbikiya in January.

It seems that there are many anecdotes in the historic Senbikiya. This time, too.

I'll explain it from a little far away. Please follow me well.

　

NHK Taiga drama series's 57th work in 2018 is "Saigo Don". Takamori Saigo, this is the second close-up following "Shobuga Nyorai" in 1990.

Original: Mariko Hayashi, Screenplay: Miho Nakazono, the leading role is Ryohei Suzuki. This is what has been announced now. It is scheduled to be cranked in July.

I'm worried about what kind of actors will solidify their sides from now on. I'm looking forward to it.

　

I think you know Mr. Saigo, who is familiar with Chuo-ku.

Mr. Saigo was appointed as a member of the Diet in 1871 and moved to Tokyo. There is a daimyo residence in the neighborhood of Chichibashi, where the ruins of Nakayashiki in the former Sakai Gagaku head were set up here.

There is an explanation board on the left side of the front entrance of Nihonbashi Elementary School, 1-1-17 Nihonbashi. (Photo on the left)

Fifteen students, seven young men, and several hunting dogs. Of course, let's walk around Nihonbashi.

Mr. Saigo was a favorite of Senbikiya, and had great trust in Mura, the wife of the second generation Bunzo Oshima.

On a hot summer day, a loud voice may resonate at the store saying, "Okay, bring a strange watermelon."

In 1873, he lost to the theory of conquering Korea and returned to Saigo and Kagoshima, but when he pulled out the mansion, he asked Mura, "Would you like to give this mansion?" A joke that is not serious.

Mura declined to say, "The mansion is too large." Actually, the area is 2,633 tsubo.

It is said that Mura-san felt that this exchange had a glimpse of the emptyness in Saigo's chest.

It's rosemary sea, which brushes up "gifts and I enjoy myself".

　

Kuroeya, a long-established lacquerware manufacturer, was founded in Genroku 2 (1689).

　

For 300 years with goodwill at the base of Nihonbashi, we have continued to preserve the precision of lacquer crafts from ancient Japan.

This time, before the admission, admission, and employment season, we will introduce each celebration-related item here with Kuroeya's product.

We spoke with Mr. Tanaka, Managing Director of Kuroeya Co., Ltd.

　

Ume Children's soup bowl, chopsticks, and spoon set.

The left is for boys and red Tamenai, and the right is for girls and Souzu.

I wonder if it's the best way to celebrate the entrance. The bowl is hand-painted with lacquer, and the chopsticks and spoons are also lacquer.

It's a very quaint item. Both are 4,000 yen + tax.

　

A ballpoint pen with maki-e. 4,000 yen each + tax.

It seems that this price range is easy to come out for celebration.

It seems that it costs 20,000 to 40,000 yen for Wajima lacquerware.

For men, we recommend the third red Fuji pattern from the right, and for women, the second cherry blossom pattern from the left.

　

The decorative dish depicted by Echizen Nuri and Mount Fuji. 32,000 yen + tax.

There are many things to decorate like this rather than practical use.

　

This is also a decorative dish of Echizen Nuri, and the pattern is cherry blossoms. 32,000 yen + tax.

It's a very gorgeous dish. I'll be pleased if you give it.

It seems that it is often used to celebrate the promotion of company relations along with Mount Fuji's decorations.

　

Red Fuji in the folding screen clock, 4,000 yen + tax.

It seems that the clock is also popular as a celebration. The price is also reasonable.

The pattern of red Fuji, the pattern of cherry blossoms, and various products have this pattern.

　

Japanese chopsticks. Red and black pair set, wooden lacquered 2,400 yen + tax.

This is a standard product.

Japan is a representative of the Kuroeya brand, traced to Nihonbashi.

　

On the left side of the entrance of the store is the famous giboshi.

It was located in Nihonbashi, which was owned by Kuroeya-san, giboshi in Nihonbashi, and at the foot of the bridge.

"September 1658 Bo Dog Year (1658) lucky day Nihonbashi Carpenter Shiina Hyogo" is engraved.

It seems that the carpenter's man is the shogunate's servant.

　

A part of Nihonbashi during the Edo period has been restored to the Edo Tokyo Museum, but the giboshi here is a reprint of Kuroeya's one. Mr. Kuroeya's one is genuine.

I would like to introduce the history of Kuroeya in detail next time.
