[Silver] December 30, 2010 13:16

 Today we go shopping through Tsukiji River Park. 

With the canvas in the blue sky in winter in the background, the "metasequoia" called "living fossil" is called "living fossil".

It glows and towers in a bronze color.

 Now, let's talk about why "metasequoia" was called "living fossils."

Shigeru Miki, who was born in Miki-cho, Kida-gun, Kagawa Prefecture in 1901, graduated from Kida Agriculture and Forestry School.

Although it was a trace of a farmer, he persuaded his father and entered Morioka High School of Agriculture and Forestry. Vegetation during the third year

We also conducted surveys and studied the strata of the mountains. Also, in order to study plant classification, Kyoto Imperial University

Department of Botanical Science, Faculty of Science. ---the story flew all the timeairplane, 1939

 Fossils that had previously been identified as the genus Numasgi and Sequoia in Europe, the United States and Japan have been extinct.

It was named the genus Methasequoia. In 1941, he published a paper on fossils as evidence.

By the way, "meta" (Meta-) is a prefix attached to the Sequoia genus "later ...").

 In 1945, an unknown plant discovered in Hubei Province, China was found to be the same as the genus Metasequoia discovered by Dr. Miki in fossils. This is introduced in the book below.

It was on sale at a bookstore on the first floor of Inax Gallery. Please confirm by telephone 03-5250-6571.

 "Mikasa Kaikan" is located about 50m after entering Namiki-dori St. from Harumi-dori St.

This has a history, so seniors at the company often heard stories.

That's why I wondered if the threshold was high, but at all!

ALTER INN in Ginza 7-chome, repair shop

[Silver] December 20, 2010 08:45

 A shop immediately after entering the intersection of Ginza 7-chome toward Tsukiji. I was surprised at the dress of the bride costume.

It's not a ryokan, even though it's Arter Inn. It is a shop where you can fix kimonos and other items.

CIMG7113.jpg

 A kimono that was reborn as a dress. Now, if you go to Pertai, it's a lot of attention.

It seems that you can also process the tops into bags. I learned to use my memories carefully.

CIMG7117.jpg

 The fixation of jeans, skirts, jackets, etc., and the size matching are also low and conscientious.

CIMG7116.jpg

 The address is on the 1st floor of Ginza 7-9-10 Gin Shichi Building.
