Jujiya lunchtime concert and Jujiya afternoon salon

[Yurikamome] August 30, 2010 10:30

Although it overlaps slightly with Ginzo's blog, a Jujiya lunchtime concert is held every week on the 8th floor of Jujiya Building.

After shopping in Ginza, you can relax in a calm and quiet venue, and the best time to switch to the afternoon in your schedule.  That's right.

I participated last Wednesday, but there was a free service of coffee and cold water in one corner of the venue, and it was like an important "time" for the participants.

With permission, I erased the flash and took a picture.

Even those who could not see the fireworks on this day, once a year "Tokyo Bay Fireworks Festival" ...
It's a very big festival of sound and fire.
Imagine the atmosphere.

Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine Reisai Festival 

[Yurikamome] August 9, 2010 20:21

 This year, on August 6, 7 and 8, Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine Reisai Festival was held.

Last year we interviewed Kagura's dedication, but this year we covered the octagonal portable shrine's palace and the palace.

Today's octagonal portable shrine has been repaired repeatedly over the 170 years of history.

This year's festival was the last, with portable shrine going around Nishinaka-dori and the streets of Tsukuda.

We are currently making a new portable shrine, and next year's main festival will be imperial procession by a new Miya portable shrine that faithfully reproduces the shape of the octagonal portable shrine built during the Tenpo era.

 

The photo below shows the young people prepared to carry portable shrine.

I'm wearing matching clothes (yukata).

Young people: navy blue young people on white background ... light light blue and dark blue caretaker ... green on white background 

The color of the uniform is different depending on age and experience.

I felt the neighborhood and family relationship of the good old days in the conversation of the caretaker before portable shrine and Miyade.

Young people ... those who want to carry portable shrine, those who are young and energetic. The first begins with a young man.

Great young people ... Those who have experienced young people.

Caretakers ... older people who have experienced young people and large young people who have been supporting this Reisai Festival for a long time.

I carried portable shrine in the precincts. 

 I felt that this movement was beautiful, with young people united and raised portable shrine up.

Before portable shrine dive the torii gate, big young people and caretakers are watching later.

You can see a tall building on the other side in the old streets.

The upper and lower two photos are the same, but the angle is slightly different and both are favorite photos.

The green was back because portable shrine turned to the left of the torii gate.

I'm out of town. There is water on the way to portable shrine.

The first few people were leading the way in the woodwork.

      Woodworking: Sings when pulling floats for festivals and celebrations.

The one who put a lump of ice in a plastic bag put ice in each of the young people's mouths.

I'm the octagon portable shrine who came back around the streets.

We are waiting for the spirit festival from 8:00 pm (the spirit will be transferred to the shrine main shrine).

The young people who played a major role in the portable shrine were relaxing outside with drinks and meals.

The Reisai Festival takes place on August 6-7 every year.

Next year's main festival will be held for four days, including Saturdays and Sundays.

At the main festival, six banners are set up, and the large banner and daki are preserved in the water shown below.

There is also a building over there on the surface of the water.

A local person said, "In the past, I could see a large banner of Tsukuda Island from Edo Castle ..."

・・I told you ...

Three photos taken at will

[Yurikamome] August 9, 2010 19:35

Since I ordered a correspondent in Chuo-ku, I have come to carry a digital camera that I was not interested in before.
I would like to introduce three of my favorites recently.


May 8
It is Takeshiba Pier shining in the morning sun seen from Chuo-ku.

June 19: Tokyo Tower on the day of the soccer match with the Netherlands.
I couldn't take the picture clearly because the lights of the later building got in the way.

August 8th, the day after the fall.
It is a houseboat I found while walking along the Sumida River Terrace toward Chuo-ohashi Bridge.
The speed was relatively fast and I could only take one shot. It is the day after the fall (August 7).

Everything is more beautiful than the picture.
