Visit to Tokyo Art Antique Ginza Gallery

[Ginzo] May 4, 2012 08:30

"Tokyo Art Antique" was held for three days from April 27 to April 30.

On the evening of April 28, I visited art galleries, art and antique shops and enjoyed it.

At the gallery, in addition to the A3 size manual and a map showing the location of the shop, we obtained a map and an ART MAP explaining the characteristics of the shop. This is a necessity for visiting art galleries throughout the year.

At the first visit to Etsuko Shibata Gallery in Ginza 1-chome, the president welcomed me warmly and smilingly.

Mr. Konishi Nakacho gave a polite and easy-to-understand explanation of the works of art.

[Ginzo] May 3, 2012 08:30

Tokyo Art Antique was held from April 27 to April 29. On the 29th (Sun), we started Kyobashi at 10:30 in the morning and enjoyed a tour of the gallery to Nihonbashi. Have a fun report.

Enter between the Police Museum and LIXXIL. Suinami Gallery, 3-6-12 Kyobashi. You're dealing with works such as Picasso, Chagall, and Utrillo in a soft atmosphere. I liked the work of James Rizzi, born in Brooklyn,NY. Postcards are also sold for souvenirs.

 The president of Hayashida Gallery talks about when he came to the Christmas Art Festa, and shows the works exhibited at the shop and exhibits on the theme of animals across genres, entitled "KYOBASHI art safari". I was taught. In addition, Sokyudo Urakami told me that he was a collector of Hokusai Manga.

  I enjoyed a lot of paintings and works of art, but there are people who should not forget about antique street.

Hiroshige Utagawa, known for his works such as the 53rd Tokaido and the Hundred Views of Edo, lived.

I usually enjoyed shopping at department stores and was not interested in the shops around me, but for the first time I learned that there is a fine art gallery. This is Mr. Tsubonakai. It's opposite Takashimaya across Sakura-dori St. He seemed to be good at antique art, and fine pots and paintings were displayed, but on the price tag of many works, a red circle indicating that it had already been sold zerowas attached.

In Nihonbashi, we visited Ebiya Art Shop, Shuzando Gallery, and Sankei-dong, famous for the signboards of the large Ichikawa Ezo (Sharaku), and saw their proud exhibits.

After seeing him, he said, "Thank you," and at every store, he politely answered, "Thank you." It was a Tokyo art antique that was relaxed and blissful.

Reference: 62 galleries, Nihonbashi Takashimaya, Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi, and Maruzen Nihonbashi 3F Gallery participated in this event. We made a visit that matched the characteristics of each store listed on the ART MAP and their tastes. If you do not calculate how long it will take, it will take 65 stores X10 minutes = 650 minutes = 11 hours, travel time 1 hour, meal time etc. will take 13 hours. If you can, please divide it into two days and enjoy it slowly. For your next reference. Also, eating at a famous restaurant on the way is one of the pleasures. Make a plan for where and what to eat. It will be a more enjoyable day.

Discovered Hamarikyu Onshi Garden A

[Ginzo] 08:30 on May 1, 2012

It was warm and the water was getting wet. 

On the shore of the seawall between the Yokobori sluice gate and the "Shogun's Rising Area" outside the "Shio-filled Pond" which attracted seawater.

I was able to photograph Ah swimming. In the middle of the photo.

CIMG0334.jpgA group of rays, five tails appeared at once, but the scene could not be filmed. 。


With global warming, I realized that fish and shellfish living in the Nankai are moving northward.


I discovered it on the Sumida River Terrace between Kachidokibashi, Nichirei and Sumitomo Life, about two years ago, but I couldn't shoot it at that time.

I'm happy with this report, but it's complicated to worry about global warming. In Shioiri Pond in Hamarikyu Onshi Garden, fry of bora jumped.
