Tour report of the 18th Chuo-ku Industrial Culture Exhibition (Navel Exhibition)

[Silver] Nov. 10, 2014 16:00

 The 18th Chuo-ku Industrial Culture Exhibition (navel exhibition) was held for four days from November 2 to 5.

(Navel Exhibition) I wonder what it means, and when I look at the leaflet in the guide, I think

 This year, "Gathering, interacting, and creating." Chuo-ku. Under the theme of ~ Chuo-ku 'Hatsu' Industry and Culture, we will introduce representative industries in the city, such as the printing and bookbinding industry, metal industry, and textile industry, together. (Omitted)

In other words, Chuo-ku, which has long developed as the center of Japanese culture, commerce and information, and in the center of Tokyo's 23 wards, in terms of human body, the center was named "navel". I thought it was.

 Immediately after entering, there were Sukeroku and Agemaki costumes worn in Kabuki.

 Ozu Washi, a trading company specializing in Japanese paper in the first year of the Shoo era (1653 AD), has experienced paper making at a shop in Nihonbashi. I hope that the registration of Washi with World Cultural Heritage will proceed.

Edoya, a long-established brushstroke company founded in 1718 (1718 AD), decided to purchase two of his favorite pig hair toothbrushes and buy hat brushes at the shop. I had an eco bag as a souvenir.

One of the most popular was the furoshiki corner.

My sisters taught me how to use furoshiki.

You can put it on the bottom of your bag and use it in case of emergency, and it is a furoshiki for carrying important shopping and wrapping and carrying broken objects. Also, there is a Japanese atmosphere. I wanted the children to remember it.

At the booths of the Tokyo Printing Industry Association Kyobashi and Nihonbashi branches, we were able to purchase postcards of Historic buildings and landscapes in Nihonbashi and Kyobashi.

This is what I thought was a great technology. Tsukishima Machinery's sewage sludge fuel conversion technology of Tsukishima Industrial Association. It's an environmentally friendly technology.

It is a super-large floating roof tank of Ishii Iron Works, which is used to store fuel for airplanes. The roof can move up and down according to the amount of fuel stock, preventing fuel from vaporizing or exploding.

 The NPO Tokyo Chuo Net and the Tokyo Fire Department Rinko Fire Station were also exhibited for firefighting and rescue activities.

"A hospital? Ambulance? If you get lost, it's # 7119.

 In May this year, the cool dispatch scene of the Tokyo Fire Department Seaside Fire Station, which was shown at the Tokyo Minato Festival at Harumi Wharf, came to my eyes.

Thank you very much

 There were many other companies on display. (Please forgive me for being omitted.)

And the quiz rally was popular among children.

I wrote quizzes about Chuo-ku in four places on the answer sheet, and if I answered correctly, I got a prize.

We had lunch box this year. It's useful.

 Well, it was time for lunch.

At the lunch and souvenir corner, famous stores in Chuo-ku, Meijiza, Ginza Wakamatsu, Tsukiji Tama Sushi, Uokyu, Kazuo Chuo-ku Confectionery Industry Cooperative, and Hatoya Nori Store were opened.

 

The "navel exhibition" is fun and study. Since it is held every other year, why don't you watch the "Navel Exhibition" again next year?

Whole Museum 2014 Haven Artist at Akashicho Disaster Prevention Pier

[Silver] Nov. 8, 2014 18:00

 Heaven artists who perform fun performances every time.

This year, Pika (face man) and Kirarin (Shota Yume Magic) sister performed at the Akashicho Disaster Prevention Pier.

Pika manipulated face masks made of drawing paper upside down and down to make the children watching the play laugh.

At the end of the show, he was a very kind little father who played with the children and gave the lost children a chance again.

Mr. Kirarin is magic. The pantomime was also very good.

A large card becomes smaller or smaller

When you put a shredded tissue paper in a bowl with the children, it becomes a udon or something.

Even if the juices of red, blue, and yellow are put together in a paper bag, the juice of the same color was taken out in a glass.

He took out several boxes from empty paper bags and taught me the wonders and fun of magic. The children were delighted.

In addition, I told you that you can see Kirarin on the website called Shotamu Magic.

Whole Museum 2014 Lili Ray's original French chanson concert

[Silver] Nov. 8, 2014 14:00

 I wanted to listen to Rili Ray's chanson and wanted to listen to it, so I applied over the phone many times in the past, but at the whole museum event in the past, the number of people limited to about 30 people, probably because of the stage I remembered that there was a limit. This year, when I gave up, it was held at the audiovisual hall on the 5th floor of the Education Center in Akashicho, and the number of viewers was the first 120 people, so if you do not delay the time, you will be able to watch it, I arrived bravely .

 

According to the official event guide of the entire museum on the day of the event.

"Lili Ray sings the French original chanson in Paris and Japan. The disciples of Tokyo Chanson Academy® also learn and sing chanson in beautiful French that can be used in Paris. Please enjoy "Chanson in Paris in Ginza" such as the familiar chanson "Sanka of Love", "Dering Leaves", "Rose Life", etc. that Japanese love. .

 

At the start, Lili explained the name and characteristics of the performer's song. 

With this, I was thrilled to see Chanson for the first time in a long time to deepen my understanding and enjoy it.

His disciples' songs include Italy's Cantuone's famous song "Volare", happiness blue "Blue Java", "Fruit Salada Song", sing with rock rhythm, German and Germans, Lili Marleen's name comes out many times, "Dalmargne", "Nostalgic lover's song", "When comes back to dead leaves", "I'm coming back".

 

And it's the long-awaited stage of Rili Ray. (For more information, please visit her website.)

 

"Kareha", which started with a sweet and sad singing voice, the famous song "Hanka of Love" sung by Fubuki Koshiji.

Finally, it was "splendid thousand beats" singing in early words from a slow singing voice. This song, which was sung in very fluent French and quickly spoken language, was a very tasteful and interesting song. The audience was overjoyed.

 

Finally; Mr. Lili, who gave a wonderful singing voice, was informed about his schedule in Chuo-ku.

For reservations and inquiries at Yamaha Ginza Studio on January 31, 2015 (Saturday), 090-9834-3550 Tokyo Chanson Academy®.

Whole Museum 2014 Akashicho Disaster Prevention Pierboard Report

[Silver] Nov. 7, 2014 14:00

 "Akashicho Disaster Prevention Pier" on the Sumida River Terrace near St. Luke's Tower, which was operated as one of the means of transportation at Museum 2014 and is used as a disaster prevention dock in case of emergency. Using this as a base for departure and arrival, we enjoyed visiting the Akashicho waterside line tour route. It's finally about to start. (The picture shows the same ship that left earlier.)

The route descends the Sumida River from the Akashicho Disaster Prevention Pier, and crosses Kachidokibashi, under the Tsukiji Ohashi Bridge, which was bridged in May this year, and was named by the general public offering.

Pass under Harumi Bridge and Aioi Bridge, pass through Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge and look directly above the messenger statue of Chuo-ohashi Bridge in front of Echinakajima Pier, Paris Square, and pass through the Akashicho Disaster Prevention Pier near St. Luke's Tower. Was returning to

DSC05979 (300x169). jpg

It was different from the rain the day before, blessed with good weather, and it was a very enjoyable boarding. Chuo-ku became more and more loved by knowing that there was a disaster prevention dock in the course of 30 minutes, knowing the sea, and changing the viewpoint and looking at the land. . Also, I thought it would be nice if this course could be a sightseeing course.

 

 

Whole Museum 2014 The 10th Ginza Aozora DE Art

[Silver] Nov. 6, 2014 18:00

 "Ginza Aozora DE Art" is an exhibition in which a gallery based in Ginza introduces attractive young artists who continue to be announced every year.

Utilizing the location of Ginza, where galleries are gathered, we are planning exhibitions and workshops of various works so that many people can enjoy art more closely with ease of outdoor exhibitions.

More than 100 artists were exhibiting their own works by renting a historic Yasuaki Elementary School schoolyard since 2005.

DSC06058 (300x169). jpg

Entering the schoolyard, I found Noriko Maki, an acquaintance, on display of jewelry!

The works were only wonderful works, such as "Miku no Hoshi", which designed the school badge of Yasuaki Elementary School.

DSC06065 (300x169). jpgDSC06062 (300x169). jpg

There were many wonderful paintings, such as the works of active university students and the work of Shoko Sumi, a writer who had moved to Mexico at the age of 10, "Look at the Moon."

DSC06066 (300x169). jpgDSC06067 (300x169). jpg

Under the blue sky, there was music performance in the open schoolyard, and it was very fun.

 It was a happy moment that made me feel like "Let's come again next year!"
