  The Chuo-ku Tourism Association has been conducting since July, "Chuo-ku New Discovery! Do you know the "town walk tour"?
 
On August 28, I applied for an industrial course to visit long-established stores, shops and famous places.
We visited 　three long-established stores founded in the Edo period, a long-established Japanese confectionery shop "Eitaro Sohonho", a lacquerware specialty store "Kuroeya", and a laver shop "Yamamoto-noriten", which developed seasoned seaweed.
At the first visit, "Eitarou Sohonho" was held.

I heard about the invention of Amana sugar and Kintsuba.

In addition, we heard stories such as "Sado's red cobblestone at the villa of the Koza Goto family" at the entrance.

I bought Kintsuba as a souvenir.　
On this website, you can see the story of Eitaro candy and gold brim. http://www.eitaro.com/
 
The show window at Kuroeya's storefront where I visited was decorated with giboshi in Nihonbashi, which was used during the Edo period.

Here, from high-quality lacquerware, our original chopsticks, Nihonbashi, is sold.

I purchased a business card holder with red Fuji, the thirty-six views of Mount Fuji in Katsushika Hokusai. http://www.kuroeya.com/
 
At the last visit, "Yamamoto-noriten", seaweed is collected when the plum blossoms bloom, so the circle was used as a ume company emblem, or the wall of the design of the laver spores.

Since the company's history and Yoko Yamamoto's TV commercials have been long-term, the Guinness Book of Records has been certified.

We heard a very interesting story about the ceiling expressing the frame of a boat that collects seaweed in the store's construction.

It was a seaweed tasting, and we tasted the canned seaweeds designed by our granddaughter Kitty-chan, but it is a seasoning that adults can also enjoy. I bought two cans.

　The "Town Walking Tour" seems to be still being accepted. I recommend a fun walk around the town.

 This spring, when I traveled to Kanmon Straits, Kintai-kyo Bridge and Hiroshima Prefecture in Yamaguchi Prefecture, I got tourist information and maps at an antenna shop in Chuo-ku, and enjoyed a fun trip.
In Kanmon Straits, "Kanmon TOPPA! It is a commemorative certificate that obtained the "Commemorative Certificate" and passed the age of 60 safely.

In Hiroshima, we visited Itsukushima-jinja Shrine in World Heritage, Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and the museum.

And this time I will visit Urabandai and Ouchi-juku in Fukushima Prefecture.
We obtained tourist information and maps at the Yaesu Tourist Exchange Center in Fukushima 2-6-21 Yaesu on Sotobori Street.
I was told a lot about Yae no Sakura before, but recently NHK's Taiga drama series ended, so I haven't been there for a while.

　From September 1st to 6th, "Shadowbox Miss Yabuki Works Exhibition" was held at St. Luke's First Gallery.

It's the first time I hear the word "shadow box". I saw the work with great interest. First of all, I was deeply moved by the words of the greeting.

    　　　　 Greetings

Thank you very much for visiting Shadow Box Mrs. Yabuki Akie's work exhibition.

When I was holding my first solo exhibition this time, I was quite wondering which works I would like to exhibit.

Each work has its own memories, and I once again recall the 33 years since I started the shadow box.

Thank you very much for being able to present in this way.

We hope you will have a memorable time for everyone.

Please take a look at it.

And welcome board at the entrance

In the work, many pieces of the same picture are cut and pasted up and down to give a three-dimensional effect, and it has a very solid feeling.

I saw some of the works from the front.

When I saw the work diagonally, I saw it

It was only a wonderful work, and also a very elegant and gentle teacher, I wanted to learn.
