Ginza 100-point No. 700 Watanabe woodblock print shop

[Ginzo] March 5, 2013 08:30

The March 2013 issue of "Ginza Hundred Points" is a booklet that introduces wonderful dresses, bags, accessories and gourmet with wonderful information, is No. 700.birthday Celebrities such as Jakucho Setouchi, Keiichi Ito, Yue Hiraiwa, Kazuko Yoshiyuki and others have contributed a special celebration essay. I don't think there is any other culmination of such writings about Ginza.  Among them, the commentary on "Ginza spelled with prints" by Shoichiro Watanabe of Watanabe woodblock print shop and 10 color photographs of woodblock prints are very wonderful.shine Please get it at your favorite shop. 

By the way, I was inspired by the article and visited the Watanabe woodblock print shop. There were works by his favorite Hasui Kawase and Hisao Someya, as well as Ukiyo-e from the Edo period.

Ginza Tsuda family Hina doll

[Ginzo] 12:00 on March 1, 2013

 My granddaughter virgois cute and I'm thinking of buying Hina doll, but I gave up buying Hina doll because there seems to be a custom that my wife's parents buy. The couple's residence is small, so they want to wait a few years to buy Hina doll. 

While I was walking along Ginza Street, I found it in the Tsuda family window.
