It's a long rain in autumn. I went to Tsukishima in the middle of the clouds.

Tsukuda Island and Tsukishima are located in the city center and are not miraculously affected by war.
That's why I'm leaving the houses in the early Showa era.
It is an old town surrounded by skyscrapers forested on the adjacent land.
　

　The name of Tsukishima is "Tsuki no Cape" located in Tokyo Bay.

　It is said that it was named after a famous moon viewing spot.

　I couldn't see the moon this time because the conditions were not met.

　There will be a view of the moon viewing that has not changed.


　
"In a world where everything is changing

　　　　　　　　　　　　I wonder if it's the moon to sit in the same shade."

Instead, like Tsukishima, look like the moon? I looked for it.

When you look at the sky, you can feel that the sky is getting higher.

　Now, in ancient China's Yin-Yang theory, odd numbers are the number of auspicious suns.
"9" is the largest number, and it overlaps.
September 9th was a very happy day.

　The festival of Shigeyo is also called the festival of chrysanthemums, and in the past, chrysanthemums are used for sake.
It seems that he was drinking and wishing for a long life.

　Kyoka of the Edo period.

　"If you live in your generation and drink chrysanthemums, you will be rare and happy."

You've got drunk and the sun.

　There seem to be many ways to make chrysanthemum sake, but with water soaked in chrysanthemum petals.
It seems that the starting point is to prepare.
The famous one is "Kaga no Kikushu".

I went to Nihonbashi to find sake from this time.

Chrysanthemum, the leading role, wants to be loved in the new calendar.

　Chrysanthemum flower has the effect of restoring eyes to dryness, pain, and fatigue.
It's said. Smartphones and personal computers tend to overuse their eyes
It can be said to be an essential item of modern times.
