We also recommend a salon lunchtime concert in the afternoon of the 140th anniversary of Ginza Jujiya.

"Ginza Jujiya afternoon salon"-a wonderful story and music in Ginza-

 

"Izutsu dancing in the twenty-five-string koto-Japanese music collaboration"

I went there. Oh! Ginzo, Noh, and koto are not linked

Yes, the person who thinks is the right answer.

 Actually, I applied for a gift of Jujiya's e-mail magazine and won the prize.

Be aware of the wrong place, and take a terrifying seat.

An easy-to-understand explanation of the Noh performance "Izutsu" by Kanta Nakamori (Kanze-style Shitekata, holder of Intangible Cultural Property).

Explanation and performance by Tomoya Nakai (Koto, Sangen "Ikuta-ryu" 25-string koto performer and composer).

In particular, I forgot the passage of time with the explanation and performance of the twenty-five-string koto, and fell in love with it.

"Yumeukibashi," which was based on The Tale of Genji, was a woman who suffered from a swaying sad love, and "Flame of Red Lotus" expressed her fierce feelings.

 It was a fun time to experience traditional Japanese music about Noh. 

 The photo shows Tomoya Nakai, who plays the twenty-five-string koto.

 

The lunchtime concert starts every Wednesday at 12:30.

This is also recommended. http://www.ginzajujiya.com/

 In addition, from April this year to March next year, a performance commemorating the 140th anniversary of the founding will be held throughout the year.

Click here for the event calendar for the future. I'm looking forward to it.
 
 

 

St. Luke's Health Nabis Pot Rukanabi Lunch Time Mini Lecture & Mini Concert Sr. Sancho Pansa

[Silver] January 24, 2014 09:00

 The “Lunchtime Mini Lecture & Concert” in January this year was held.

Rukabi Yoko Setoyama's "Is that health information okay?" What is health literacy? It was a mini-lecture.

There is a lot of information available in newspapers, magazines, the Internet, etc.

 

"I wonder if the information is correct, or simply convey it.

The recipient of the information correctly determines whether the information is biased.

It's important to use information smartly! "It was a very useful and kind story.

The usage is not too much, and if you have trouble making a decision, consult someone.

See you.

 1.Beware of the word "work"!

 2.It's not too much!

 3.If you are unsure, consult with someone who can consult!

 If you have trouble deciding on a medicine or usage, or if you are lost, go to Rakanabi! "

It was a story with fun humor that I would never forget about PR. We recommend that you join us next time.

 By the way, it was a rakugo by Shinji Yamagami, a member of Sanchotei Hanpo (pronouce Sancho Panza).

Today's performance is "Odoya Avenge".

The three people who stayed in the inn (three from the beginning) tried to stay on the floor after the fuss.

It was a slapstick-like drama woven by the samurai who stayed with the house and the owner of the inn who heard the loud chatter.

20140119 007.JPG

I thought it was a story that made it light and stylish and attracted people, and this was called a story art.

The audience was so enthusiastic about the story in front of the audience with too much enthusiasm.

The details of the story seem to violate intellectual property rights, so I will omit it, but it was an interesting and fun story anyway.

 I heard it for the first time, but I became a fan.

In addition, the stage name (the last name part is called the Teigo) is said to be called Sancho Pansa.

He named himself after the name of Sancho Panza in valet of Don Quijote, and he was a humorous man.

Shinji Yamagami seems to draw pictures, and he is also exhibiting at St. Luke's Gallery.

The next exhibition of the picture will be exhibited for about a week from June 9th. Don't miss it!

International exchange You can start from a familiar place, for 2020!

[Silver] January 10, 2014 09:00

 In December, the event of the Chuo-ku Cultural and International Exchange Promotion Association was held at Tsukiji Social Education Center.

This time, we wanted to promote international exchange through sports and spread it.

 I also sweated soft volleyball and ping-pong with young people.

Volleyball is the first time in 16 years and ping-pong is the first time in 30 years.

 When I receive a ball in volleyball, I don't know what to call out.

Me, you were connecting the ball, but as the play continued, it felt like teamwork was sprouting.

 I felt strongly that I would like to participate in these activities in the future.

 The next day, when I was walking around Tsukiji 6-chome, a foreigner seemed to be looking for something with a smartphone.

When I asked May I help you? He said he was looking for a sushi restaurant in Tsukiji 5-chome.

 While talking while walking, he said that he came from Santa Catalina, Brazil for sightseeing.

I wondered if international exchange begins with a familiar word. I took a picture in my memory,

 It was a very nice couple.

 The Tokyo Olympic Games 2020 has been decided. You can easily speak foreign languages with NHK language programs.

There is an environment where you can learn. Now, why don't you prepare for hospitality for 2020?

The curtain opened with the Edo Fire Fighting Woodwork

[Silver] January 9, 2014 14:00

 At 10:30 on January 4th, when I tried to cross Nihonbashi to enjoy the Nihonbashi Shichifukujin pilgrimage, a fire extinguishing ladder was set up in front of Eitarou Sohonho's shop, and the wonderful skill of ladder riding was demonstrated. Was being done.

I rushed to rush and took some pictures. It is called "Edo Fire Fighting".

That's! Even though I thought it was an illusion of my eyes, I was distracted by the brilliant technique and the subsequent woodwork.

20140104 059.JPG

 

 At the storefront, the owner of Eitaro Sohonho, who received a wonderful greeting, and the reception of the shop, also entered the hall, and I felt "the best of Edo".

20140104 061.JPG

 

While he was busy, he asked, "Is that people a fire brigade?", He told me, "Is it an Edo fire department."

 Well? While thinking, when I searched on the Internet, my activities were introduced on the website.

Regarding activities, the Nihonbashi area was described in this way.

 

"It is a New Year's annual event, but on January 4th, Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi and Takashimaya are performing woodworking, maki, and ladder riding as New Year's greetings in line with the first sale to celebrate the New Year. ・・・・」

 

Oh, the depths of Nihonbashi are deep. I thought I had to study hard.

Click here for more information about the Edo Fire Department. The official name is the Edo Fire Memorial Association.

Splendid activities such as preserving the tradition of Tobi fire extinguishing that has continued since the Edo period and passing on the woodwork of traditional performing arts are introduced along with history. I admired you.

Hamarikyu Garden A hawk dances in the New Year's sky! Suwa-style hawk

[Silver] January 8, 2014 09:00

    

  On the morning of January 2, at the Hamarikyu Garden, the annual Suwa style hawk was performed. I hear that this is the 20th time this year.

 First of all, we will deliver the greetings of the practitioners who perform the art and the sight of the practitioner who manipulates the hawk that hides the nails.

20140104 020.JPG 20140104 025.JPG

 According to the materials we received, "What is Suwa-style hawk art?

There were two groups of falconers belonging to the Edo period Shogun family, calling themselves "Yoshida-ryu" and "Suwa-ryu".

"The etymology of Suwa style was held at Shinshu Suwa Taisha Shrine.

 It is derived from Shinto ritual, which offers the birds caught by the hawk to God."

That's right. The details of the demonstration are:

①"Setting up" ... To stop the hawk stably on a horizontal fist.

②"Transfer": Jump the hawk from the falconer's fist to another falconer's fist and get used to others.

③"Watering": Call the hawk on the tree back to the fist.

④"Replacement" ... To stop the hawk by a fist of a person other than a hawk.

 

  

  This year, three of the many tourists and spectators who wished to experience (one of whom is from Osaka) were challenged.

20140104 029.JPG 20140104 030.JPG

By the way, it is a scene where the hawk released from the Dentsu Building, which has finally been waiting for, descends directly aiming for the hawk master's "spring pigeon" waiting in the garden.

On the roof of the Dentsu Building, the wind is strong, and there are six or eight dragonflies flying in the garden, making it very difficult to demonstrate.

After about 20 minutes, the hawk was released, but flew high with the hostile dragonfly.

I was thrilled just to enjoy the New Year's mood. This year, I felt that the number of foreign customers and bus tour customers in nearby prefectures is increasing.

 When I read "Hawk Swallowing in Heaven-The World of Hawkers" in the flyer I received, I found it

"Nukumedori" means that on a cold winter night, a hawk catches and grabs a small bird, and a hawk warms his feet all night.

The next morning the hawk releases the little bird.

But the hawk says he will never go hunting that day in the direction where the bird flew away. ・・・

 In the world of animals, there is a story that feels good. Yeah,

A documentary film introducing the world of falconers will be screened at the Hibiya Convention Hall on April 10th. For more information, click here.
