When I entered the gallery, I thought it was an old-colored poster, and instead, the untouched poster was displayed beautifully.

Unfortunately, I have never watched these masterpieces, but the theme songs of those films are still being sung.
For example, "French Kankan" is "heaven and hell" played at the athletic meet, is it like this?

"The third man" has seen it aired on TV. Melo Day is like LaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLa!

There is also an exhibition and spot sale of the Western Painting Road Shop Program.

I purchased "Anna Karenina of Vivien Leigh", "The Third Man", "French Kankan", and "The Seine under the Sky of Bari flows" with posters.

The unit price is only 100 yen (tax included). It's very nice if you decorate it in your room.

 At the panel exhibition, we saw Kozui Otani (Kamijojin), Takeko Kujo, and Dr. Chuta Ito, who designed Honganji Temple.

In particular, the explanation of the Buddhist research and exploration journey to India was very interesting. I was once again convinced that the explanation of the encounter between the expedition and Dr. Chuta Ito.

Next, we participated in the "Honganji Tour" where you can guide you through Tsukiji Honganji Temple.

The contents include the recorded video owned by Tsukiji Honganji Temple, edited by the Chuo-ku Board of Education, such as the `` Ochikei Hoho / Great Kanto Earthquake '', and not only the situation at the time of the disaster, but also the activity at the time of the earthquake The hardships of Tsukiji Honganji were well understood. I wanted to express my deep respect.

Recommended tour of Tokyo Stock Exchange Arrows

[Silver] March 2, 2015 09:00

I went to Tokyo Stock Exchange Arrows for a tour.

This is only available on weekdays, but it is a great place to study the history of the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

I got off at Kayabacho Station and strolled around the area.

The Mizuho Bank Kabuto-cho Branch, located in the vicinity, is "the birthplace of banks that were predecessors of Daiichi National Bank."

 

We entered the building of the Tokyo Stock Exchange, completed the reception, and entered the Securities Archives Hall.

I saw a lot of photos and objects such as bells used for meetings.

I also saw the photos of the Minister of Finance at that time, and felt very nostalgic. These people have led Japan to a high economy.

DSC06894 (300x169). jpg

 

In the quiz, I was able to learn how to communicate information at that time. It's interesting, isn't it?

DSC06896 (300x169). jpgDSC06897 (300x169). jpg

 

Next, on the 2nd floor, there was a photo of Ms. Charlotte Kate Fox, the role of Elly, who was familiar with NHK's morning drama "Massan", visited the Tokyo Stock Exchange.

Oh, it's really neat and wonderful person with a smile. 

Unfortunately, photography was prohibited here, so please check with your own eyes.

 

On the 2nd floor, we proceeded through the tour corridor.

In the market center covered with glass cylinders with a diameter of 17 meters, large rings showing the stock prices of each company were spinning around.

Souvenir T-Shirts, umbrellas, mobile straps, etc. for the Tokyo Stock Exchange were also sold.

 

After the tour, we visited Kabuto Shrine, a symbol of the promotion of exchange officials, visited Nihonbashi Post Office, Nomura Securities, etc., and enjoyed delicious tea in Nihonbashi.
