 On the afternoon of the 25th (Saturday), a fun gathering presentation was held in the audiovisual classroom.

(I couldn't see the audiovisual classroom on the 24th (Fri)).

I was a tour from the middle, but chorus, hula dance, Ginyukai, reading party Kappare dance party, etc.

It was a fun time for the people who performed and the visitors to work together.

 

He listened to Edelweiss' chorus "Barabigami" and others.

Amerbyre people

In addition to chorus, he listened to Japanese songs in solo, Italian songs and duet.

I was fascinated by the wonderful long skirt and blouse.

　　　

I'm from Ginyukai. (Takeda-bushi Mount Fuji bound for Hainan), I checked the others.

I heard that the two in the middle of the front row were 96 and 92 years old, but still incredibly fine.

I was happy with the words of envy.

After hearing your age, everyone at the venue applauded. 

　　

　　Everyone of the "Kappare Dance Party" (Nusan, Fukagawa Kappore)

　　The movement was fast, Chaki and Chaki, and it was pleasant. 　　　

 Everyone at the reading party read a group of "Okorijizo" (Yuko Yamaguchi).

　　　　　 　　　　

Chorus group "Issuna grass"

　　　

 　　The faces of everyone who danced hula seemed to be very fun.

　　　　　 　　  The average age is 70.

　There are also 80-year-olds... Was it my ear that I heard? ？ ・・・

 

 

 I wanted to participate in the lecture of "Eiko Ochiai" published in the Chuo Ward Newsletter, so I applied for a round-trip postcard to the Women's Center "Bouquet 21".

I am sorry for "lottery luck", but I received "news of winning" and decided to visit the women's center "Bouquet 21".　Friday, June 24

Women's Center "Bouquet 21", 1-1-1 Minato, Chuo-ku

The "Bouquet Festival" was held in March 2001.

Users want to communicate the necessity and activities of the center! ・It seems that it was a meeting that started with the power and wisdom of women.

"Cherry" was sold and various handmade items were sold.

This year, 33 organizations participated in the event.

The activities of the group will be announced in "Part 2", "Part 3" and "Part 4".

　　　　　　　

 Eko Ochiai's story is easy to understand about the importance of "Hug & Reed" from your wide range of experience ...

He talked about the importance of "hugging" and "reading aloud" with laughter and tears.

In the midst of a great success, the organizer finally gave a bouquet of roses to Keiko Ochiai with appreciation, but it seems that there will be a lecture in the afternoon, and three participants over the age of 80 Please take it home. "

It was a very nice bouquet with pink, cream color and light blue.

 　　　　　　　　　　

 I received a wonderful souvenir from "Bouquet 21".

It was a small folded bag and a convenient double cup containing 480cc.

　　　　　　　 　　　　　　　

 

 

 

 

A wonderful park ... I found Sakuragawa Park.　　　Irifune, 1-1-13, Chuo-ku.

In the Edo period, it was excavated as a ferry moat that flows from the downstream of the Kyobashi River to the Sumida River.

It was called Hatchobori (Meiji period was renamed Sakuragawa).

This park was built on the landfill of Sakuragawa.

It is adjacent to the JR and Metro Hibiya Line Hatchobori Station.

　　　　 As you may know, various stones are embedded in concrete, and walking barefoot on this seems to be good for health.

It's been more than 10 years ago, but when I lived in Taipei, such a stone path was built longer behind the grounds of the National Father Memorial Hall.

When I walked, my soles hurt very much at first, but when I walked with patience the pain, it stopped painful.

It was explained that various parts of the internal organs were stimulated with the intention of massage on the soles, and since I was free, I walked well alone.

For me, I found this little path that reminded me of Taipei and was full of nostalgia　　　　

 　　　

  I don't know what this monument means, but I'd like to look into it and look at it.

 

There was such a cute playground equipment.

A young mother had a good time with a boy about 2 years old.

I took a picture with permission.

When my grandson in the United States came, I thought I would bring it here and play ...

The leaves of Nem are open during the day, but close the leaves at night and sleep ... I was inputted in my head when I was small, but gentle pink flowers bloom.

It blooms in Hamarikyu, but the flowers of Sakuragawa Park are very beautiful now.

Coming pleasure ... This character also feels soft and fun as everyone enjoys together.

　　　　　　　　

 

 

 I walked a lot in search of the ukiyo-e picture drawn on the shutters of the Nihonbashi district.

Walking along a road that you didn't know about, watching beautifully blooming flowers ... finding a small park ... I had a good time.

I would like to end with this "Part 4", but only the tofu shop "Futaba" was unable to take pictures because Japanese shop curtain was on the picture at any time.

Today is an ukiyo-e that I couldn't see even if I visited the Kyobashi area.

When I talked to the person who was cleaning the shutter that had been up once in the table of "Hotel Kazusaya", he dropped the shutter again.　

Thank you ... thank you ...

 

The creator, Akiko Fukunaga, was a young person and worked hard in front of the shutter.

I was impressed that it was a wonderful thing, and her feelings were conveyed.

I think that many young people besides Akiko Fukunaga were involved in the production of shutters in Chuo-ku.

I strongly felt the support of young people who protect the history and culture of Edo.

The front entrance of Nihonbashi Takashimaya is decorated with Sendai's Tanabata decorations "Flow streamers".

This is genuine and borrowed from Sendai.

It will be displayed at the front entrance of Takashimaya until July 7, but will be returned to Sendai and displayed at Tanabata festival in Sendai from Saturday, August 6 to 8 (Mon).

　　　　　　　　　　　The Sendai Seven Evening Festival began in the days of Sendai feudal lord and Masamune Date.　

With the Meiji Restoration, "Tanabata festival" declined nationwide due to changes, the adoption of new calendars, and the recession after World War I, but in 1927, volunteers from merchants gathered and revived the Tanabata decorations.

The Sendai Seven Evening Festival is supported by the tradition of 400 years.

The seven venerable decorations, such as "Flow stream", "Orizuru", "Striple", "Disposal Net", "Paper Cloth", "Paper Cloth", have long been filled with wishes.

"Flowing sink" symbolizes Orihime's weaving thread and aims to improve weaving and handicrafts.

A gorgeous ball is displayed at the top. 

 It can be seen in various places in the "Rose-chan Doll" store, which is the mascot of Takashimaya, but on the left side from the customer's point of view, always has the "Hinomaru flag" and the right side calls on "reflection of the times" as a topic I am.

"Let's support reconstruction actions for Japan for the affected areas" ...

 

 

 

It's raining and stopping ...

The first thing in hydrangea in Hamarikyu is the blue mountain hydrangea in ancestor.

It is blooming near the dock.

 Baikasugi (Plum blossom tree)

　　　　　It seems that the neat four petals resemble plum blossoms, so it was named "Plum Flower Sky Tree".

　　　　　It has a faint scent.

　　　　　※　The plum blossoms are five petals.

　　 　　　We are competing for beauty with the blooming mountain hydrangea near the dock. 　Cherry blossoms

　If you pay attention to the under the cherry tree, you can find such a beautiful "cherry blossoms" in the garden.　　　

　The "cherry blossoms" receiving the sun under the shade of the leaves looked like a jewel.

　Himetaizanboku (Himetaisangi) bud

　I found this bud, and when I thought it would bloom soon, I was thrilled and took a picture.　

 It is native to North America and has become a flower of Louisiana and Mississippi.

　When Mr. Grant, the 18th president of the United States, left public affairs and traveled around the world with his family.

There is a record of staying at Yan Liao Hall in Hamarikyu for two months and meeting Emperor Meiji.

The Yasuyama tree planted by his wife at that time still exists in Ueno Park and a monument is being built.　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

 Flower of Himetaizanboku (Himetaisangi)

 It's white when it blooms, but it looks a little creamy because it's been a few days.

It has a very good aroma and when you approach it, "Is it another world?" ？ ？ ・It's enough to think.

Since this is a horticultural species in Hanakien, the diameter of the flower is about 10 cm, but the real flower blooms a large flower of 15 cm to 25 cm.
