The Mitsukoshi Nihonbashi Main Store was opened as an Echigo-ya, a kimono dealer in the Edo period, but in 1904, it became the first department store in Japan to declare the Department Store.

The current building incorporating Renaissance architecture was completed in 1935 (1935).

In 1999 (1999), it was selected by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government as a "Tokyo Metropolitan Historic Building".

It is also famous for the Lion Pipe Organ Mitsukoshi Theater, but I was always concerned about the "Tenjo Statue" in the central hall.

Here are some pillars containing ammonite fossils.

                   

                                

Statue of Godo

                This is an image that symbolically expresses the basic philosophy of our customers, true heart.

　　　　　　　It is a masterpiece completed by master craftsman Gengen Sato over about 10 years.

　　　　　　　It was erected in 1960 in the central hall on the first floor of the main store to commemorate the 50th anniversary of its founding.

　　　　　　　It is the moment when a heavenly woman wrapped in Zuiun descends on the flower core.　　

　　　　　　　The whole picture was thought to you well, and only the center of the statue was large.　　　         

 

                

Ammonite

　　　The interior, which uses a lot of marble, contains many fossils of various sizes from the dinosaur era.

　　　It is called Ann Mogai and Kikuishi that are trapped inside.

　　　It can be found here and there, such as pillars and walls in the Mitsukoshi Main Store.

　　　                       

 

 

 

 It was a pleasant season.

In Hamarikyu, while the greenery of many trees spreads, many flowers are in full bloom in beautiful Aya, and rare butterflies and dragonflies are playing along with the singing of birds.

It's also fun to walk alone in the place where the general's garden used to be.

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

"Aiguro no Matsu" ... It is a pine made by naturally crossing Kuromatsu and Akamatsu.

After the rain, this color becomes clearer and beautiful.

Until I lived near the fire department, I wasn't conscious of this kind of thing, but always let us know.

I am once again grateful that I have been active in protecting and protecting various disasters and accidents.

Every March, the fire department is opened to residents of the city, and it is said that it will create a day for interested people to visit.

I would like to take advantage of such opportunities to deepen my understanding.

　　"Miyakodori" and "Sumida" who raised the fountain high and expressed their welcome when entering the port at Harumi Wharf.　　　　　　　　　　　　I remembered that.
