I went to "Ginza Gallery Tour".

Mr. Yoko Noro, Vice President of Yanagi Gallery, guided us.　After gathering at Yanagi Gallery before 12:00, paying 3,000 yen worth the lunch fee, listening to the chat and explanation for a while.

 

While having a delicious lunch at the Spanish food "Senol Masa", we headed for the gallery while talking about art and talking about small things.

　

 

At the Whitestone Gallery next to Yasuaki Elementary School, the Yayoi Kusama exhibition will be held until February 27. The explanation of Yayoi Kusama alone is impressive.

A collection of works that continue to run at the forefront of art as a unique existence that expresses the eternity that should be called the microcosmic by repeatedly drawing nets and polka dots, as well as the mystery of love and life, is exhibited. You can purchase it.

　

 

In "Galley Tamenaga", I was able to appreciate the paintings quietly. http://www.tamenaga.com/

 

At Shingendo, the president explained Chinese, Korean porcelain, Kakiemon, etc. in hand. I enjoyed studying art.　Of course, you can purchase what you like in the gallery.

 

At Akika-dong, he showed a treasured ukiyo-e and a picture of a three-piece set of drama-like around 1877 with a careful explanation.　This is the good thing about visiting the gallery, isn't it? http://www.aojc.co.jp/corp/

　The long-awaited rain in Tokyo, where the dry warning continued, and snow fell from the night of the 23rd to the morning of the 24th.

The campus of St. Luke's College of Nursing is It looks like a White Christmas.

 

You can see Kachidokibashi from Hatoba Park at Tsukiji 6-chome. The dog posed me.

 

Can you see Mount Fuji shining in the distance at the Tokyo Central Wholesale Market?

It's annoying snow for commuting, going to school, and work, but it's exciting. Well, let's go!

 

 

 

The Tokyo Marathon will be held on February 26 this year.

I think that the hard work of the runners running on the day and the volunteers who support it behind the scenes is also difficult.

There's a free guide to walk along this course in a fun way.　

Why don't you have a fun guide to Chuo-ku?　Ginzo also participates.

On January 4th, I decided to visit Seven Lucky Gods from Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi, and this was the first time I actually visited New Year.　

By the way, the first thing I would like to visit is that at the Muromachiguchi of Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store, line up at the reception.

I'll get a map of "Seven Lucky Gods Tour" and a form to get proof of worship.

<I got a seal at Sugimori Shrine and got a souvenir on the rooftop of Yamamoto-noriten and Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi>

 

Why don't you know the way?　Mitsukoshi and other staff will stand on the course and will guide you kindly.

First of all, I visited Koami Shrine, which enshrines the god of protection against misfortune. Fukurokuju and Benzaiten are enshrined.

Then, in order of course, I visited Chanogi Shrine, Suitengu Shrine, Matsushima Shrine, Suehiro Shrine, Kasama Inari Shrine, Sugimori Shrine, and Takarada Ebisu Shrine.

 

At Suitengu, we also visited the main shrine and prayed for the safe delivery of our granddaughter.　And present!

Thank you to Mr. Mitsukoshi, Mr. Yamamoto-noriten, and the staff of the guide.

I wish you all the best of all our readers.　Ginzo, Koto, Masahiro Futagawa
