Ritsuharu has passed, and in Sankan 4 temperature ... Various flowers bloom in Hamarikyu.

The long-awaited red plum blossoms bloomed right next to the canola flower field.

It seems that this year is more than two weeks later than usual.

But I was happy to see the red buds and flowers.   

Even though it is spring, the plum blossoms that bloom in the coldest time ...

Please remember that a cup of seaweed was taken in Tokyo in the past during this cold season.

　　　 　　「 Standing in front of Matsu no Ochiya, you will be wrapped in a very good scent on the wind.

　　　　　Japanese daffodils are in bloom.

　　　　　And the raw wax plum (soshin rowby) is in bloom.

　　　　　The horticultural species of wax plum is the core wax plum, but it begins to bloom a little later than wax plum and blooms until late. 

　　　　　The fragrance is stronger than ancestor's wax plum, so you will always want to stand by the flower.

"The 29th National Urban Greeningfur" has been held in Tokyo for the first time in a long time, and Hamarikyu is included in the six venues.

・・・ ・ ・ ・ Continued green tomorrow ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ It is 30 days to collect "green power".

September 29 (Sat)-October 28 (Sun), 2012

※　The 118m "Otari Bridge" is made of all cypresses, but for replacement work.

Traffic will be prohibited from March 21 to the end of June.

Therefore, "Nakajima no Ochiya" will not be open.

Please ask Hamarikyu when the plum blossoms and canola flower are blooming and the "Oden Bridge" crosses.

I'm doing TV exercises starting at 6:25 in the morning. Beginning with gentle wrist movements, doing gymnastics in each part of the body for 10 minutes to rhythmic piano songs, and the body sleeping with it will wake up smoothly.

Until this time, the outside of the window was completely dark.

Recently, it has become a little brighter by the end of gymnastics. This morning there was a beautiful full moon floating on the upper left of Tokyo Tower shining with orange lights in the dim west sky.

The camera at this time has good sensitivity, so even if the area was dark, it could be taken brightly like this, but in fact the contrast was a little stronger and the moon seemed to shine clearly white.  

　　　　　  （6:38）

Eventually, as soon as the sun came out to earth, the reddish light rays began to illuminate everything around him. 。

A sharp reflection began from the high glass window facing the east side of the skyscrapers. 

　　　　　 （6:39）

As the sun rose, the reflection from the building spread to the bottom and the shadows of other buildings on the east side began to appear on the wall.

 　　　　　（6:42）

The skyscrapers are competing for height while showing their own reflections one after another. However, the forest of the Hamarikyu Garden still sleeps in black and quietly.  While the buildings were brighter, the moon was thin and low and inconspicuous.　　　

　　　　　（6:44） 

If you look closely, the moon, which became quiet and pale, hung on the edge of a distant mountain.　It's on the verge of sinking.

It hides with a baton touch in the sun.　The sky is blue and bright, and it will be good weather today.

It's getting brighter.　

A great day will be waiting for everyone who reads this blog.　　

                    　　　  （6:47） 

 It snowed once or twice a year. I entered the garden at the same time as the opening of the park at 9.

In the same way, there were many people who came to the garden with a camera.　My thoughts are the same.

The pine trees on the right are dotted at the site of Yan Liaokan.

The road on the left is Omote Baba.

During the Edo period, customers turned right at the pine tree of 300 years, passed this Omote Baba, descended from horses and mikoshi at the Garden Office, left the sword at the Garden Office, and saw the garden only with Wakizashi.　　　　  　　　

It's "Ochiyaya of Nakajima."

It is paired with "Matsu no Ochiyaya".

"Niwaya Ichiyo" Tayoku Ichinoyo ...

As these words imply, buildings and gardens are gardens built with a sense of unity.

Because it is built to match the garden, sitting in the pine Ochiyaya is considered to be height so that you feel like sitting in the garden.

　It's "Koshindo Kamoba".

　The customers from autumn to winter were for falconry.

There is a trace of "Hawk's Ochiya" near here, but after falconry, the soil is large enough to put it in the dirt as it is on the foot.

And he had a fireplace.

　　If you look closely, the snow is attached to the branch, but it shines in the blue sky and looks like a flower.

 It's "Oteiyama".

Although it is a small mountain, a lot of azaleas are planted in the spring, and it is written that "the mountain was beautiful as if the fire was blowing."

It's a Japanese camellia with snow.

It blooms across the road in front of Bairin.

　Petals scatter like mountain chabana without falling in the shape of a flower like a camellia.　　It is called Haruyama tea flowers that fall to the ground in the form of flowers like camellia without scattering Harahara and petals even in Yamachahana.

Haruyama tea flowers are located in Higashi-Oen.　　　　　　　

"Nihonbashi Karuta" is a "local karuta" born from Nihonbashi.

The Nihonbashi Regional Renaissance 100-Year Planning Committee was created in 2009 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of its establishment in order to make more people aware of the culture and history of Nihonbashi.

Reading phrases on the theme of "history", "famous places / historic sites", "culture / cultural people", etc. were collected from all over the country by open call for participants.

Out of a total of 4114 phrases, 47 phrases were selected by the Selection Committee and adopted for "Nihonbashi Karuta".

The beautiful design of the picture card is written by up-and-coming ukiyo-e artist, the sixth generation, and Kunigami Utagawa.

Production supervision is the long-established "Okuno Karuta Store" founded in 1921.　¥3150. - (tax included) 　　

If you collect 5 "meguri tags" with the Edo atmosphere while walking around the Nihonbashi area and bring them to the choledo Muromachi Information "Nihonbashi Information Center", you can draw a lottery once and have a fun present.　　

"Nihonbashi Karuta" is a "local karuta" born from Nihonbashi.

Let's follow the map and collect "meguri tags".

The "Meguri Card" is "Nihonbashi Karuta" mentioned above.

For example, I came with my grandmother and now I'm going to Mitsukoshi with grandchildren.

　　　　　　　　Take the Oomi Edo Balance to Takashimaya

　　　　　　　　The bell of Kokumachi makes the night of Edo. 

　　　　　　　　To Meijiza, amazake Yokocho Koi no Michi

　　　　　　　　Susoroku goes to Kyoto from Nihonbashi　　　　　　And so on.

I received the Tenugui Japan, the 100th anniversary of the bridge "Nihonbashi" in the photo below.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　(Is there an empty lottery?)

I got the fifth card at Hotel Kazusaya, but I learned for the first time that Hotel Kazusaya's street was once called Tsunega-dori.

(4-7-15, Nihonbashi-Honmachi, Chuo-ku) 03-3241-1045

I remembered that I dropped the shutter I raised once when I was looking for a ukiyo-e of the shutter by Mr. Kazusaya Hotel for blog post before, to take a picture.

Thank you very much.

The 26-year-old Shoko Kanazawa's powerful brushstrokes and dynamism characters were fine.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　 　Ryu (Kenryu) Ryu (Kanryu) Dance Ryu (Yakuryu)

　Heiryu (Hiryu)　　

There was also a pamphlet explaining the meaning of the characters in the forehead, and it was a fun time to look back on my life and understand the meaning.　

　　　　　 Kaichikujo　

This time, Tokai Tokyo Securities provided a wonderful place for the exhibition, and a teacher from Sogetsu-ryu displayed the venue.

At the same time, Shoko wrote "Hanashi Takejo".　

A heavy cloud mine

This is a work when Shoko was 25 years old.

It seems to have taken the four letters of the many Kanzan poems.　　

It's horizontal writing, but it's written from the right.　　

　　　　　　 On the screen placed at the back of the venue, many characters of Shoko Kanazawa in the DVD are projected on the DVD.
