News from Mr. Indian spot-billed duck Summer 2016

[The Rabbit of Tsukuda] August 30, 2016 18:00

The Indian spot-billed duck and others seen on the Sumida River Terrace in Ishikawajima Park have a total of 5 birds, 2 pairs and singles. It is not clear whether everyone has a bed on the floating island at the base of Aioi Bridge. That's because Mr. Indian spot-billed duck is dead. Today, we will deliver the daily lives of Indian spot-billed duck with the summer of Ishikawajima Park.

 

The red color of common sage, the flower bed in Ishikawajima Park, shines as blue on the river surface.

When the clover in Paris became white all over, Mrs. Indian spot-billed duck often took a walk if he liked it.

If you are tired after taking a walk, take a break in the shade of cherry blossoms.

After all, Mr. Indian spot-billed duck also likes the bright scenery.

With a good position as the runner in the morning passes, Mr. Indian spot-billed duck has nothing to spare.

Eastern buzzard appears above Tsukuda

[The Rabbit of Tsukuda] August 23, 2016 16:00

At 6 o'clock in the morning in Tsukuda, Chuo-ku, there is a lively time for birds singing.

The water surface of the Sumida River reflected in the windows of the building shines as usual in the morning sun.

Today, only the sound of cars coming and going is low.

The bird appeared in front of me when the air that made me think something was different.

Eastern buzzard.

Eastern buzzard of the hawk family is a kind of raptor.

raptor catches prey that feeds with its excellent flying power and sharp beaks and claws.

Falconry is a method of taming with using that ability.

It has been held all over the world since ancient times.

Takahayabusa is the representative of that.

Looking at the connection between Shoguns in the Edo period and falconry, I found that

The first Ieyasu Tokugawa saw it as a curing method that trains the body beyond the area of hawk lovers.

The third generation Iemitsu set up "Takabo" to keep hawks in Edo Castle.

He said he had falconry hundreds of times during his tenure.

The current Hamarikyu Onshi Park was a place for shoguns to hunt for falconry during the eleventh Ieyoshi and the twelveth Ieyoshi.

However, Eastern buzzard, a hawk family, is an useless hawk that cannot be used for hunting.

"Magusotaka" and "Kisotobi" were called with a very sorry name.

Because Eastern buzzard's food is not small wild birds, but mainly rats and snakes.

The fearless face, strong feet, and the appearance of stopping the roof of a 10-story building.

It seems that there is even pride that was free without being tamed with by humans at all times.

It's over Tsukuda at 6 o'clock in the morning where you can see such a gliding of Eastern buzzard.

 

 

One Hu Hagido in Tsukishima

[The Rabbit of Tsukuda] August 14, 2016 09:00

Immediately after exiting Exit 7 of Tsukishima Station Subway, it is located on the second street of Monja Street Tsukishima Nishinaka Shopping Street.

Mr. Hu Hagido. It is a rice cracker shop with my favorite "Neko Senbei".

Hu Hagido Neko Senbei. jpgToday, we talked about the shops that the landlady was concerned about everyday and the situation of Tsukishima Nishinaka Shopping Street a little old.

I asked you.

Hu Hagido store. jpgHu Hagido, a beautiful sound shop name, is because the predecessor father who named it has already died.

I'm afraid I don't know right now.

When you enter the shop, the most noticeable thing is the wide mouth bottle.

Its presence symbolizes the Japanese rice cracker shop, but what kind of bottle is it?

Hu Hagido Hiroguchi Ve. jpgThe curve of the wide rounded cut is the warmth unique to handmade glass.

An excellent item that makes things inside look even more beautiful due to the reflection of light.

It seems that he was buying it in Asakusabashi, but now there are no handmade craftsmen and it can not be replenished even if it is broken.

The rest is only 14 pieces in the store, it's a dish that you don't want to lose.

In the shopping street around 30,40 years old, the jumpers who returned to Tsukiji for lunch (working at Tsukiji Market).

At 4 o'clock in the evening, mothers who had aprons came to shop.

There were 3 toy shops, 2 Itoyas, and 2 tofu shops.

At that time, when stockings, which were still expensive at that time, were transmitted to Itoya, they were asked to fix them one by one.

It seems that he was rushing.

Mr. Hu Hagido. jpgAfter that, when Tsukishima Station on the Yurakucho Line was built in 1988, there was nothing for TV stations to cover.

It was advertised that Monjayaki was also featured, and the current Tsukishima = Monjayaki

I have an image.

It seems that the population has temporarily decreased due to the rise in Heisei, but now there is a tower apartment in Kachidoki.

He told me that the number of children is increasing.

Tsukishima was reclaimed and was born in 1892. Since then, it has become the driving force of the country in the Meiji, Taisho era, and Showa eras.

A shopping street where the lives of the people who support the heavy industrial area live.

Tower condominiums stood in the surrounding area in the Heisei era, and still reflect the cutting edge of people's lives.

Shopping street. In this unique Tsukishima shopping street, we seek "Tsukishima's Past and Present"

In the future, I would like to visit the shops and listen to them.
