Gallery Night Party held May 26, 2017 (Fri)

[Silver] May 14, 2017 16:00

In the "Night Party of the Gallery", the gallery from Ginza 5-chome to 8-chome will release a confident work at once. The first event was held in 2004 and has been held every year since then. This year will be held on May 26 (Friday).

Speaking of "art gallery night party", I have talked to people who came from Kansai in the distance. Now it's a famous event nationwide. And no matter what you say,

①You can easily enter the gallery, 2 admission fee free. ③You can see wonderful works for free.

④You can enjoy it with wine, etc. This is also free. ⑤Art talk with the artist. That's too.

 In addition to the introduction of the gallery and the work, the booklet you received contains "manners for viewing the gallery".

1.Make sure that your baggage, such as backpacks, does not hit your work. (Rucks are the basis before, aren't they?)

2.Avoid coughing or sneezing in front of the work.

3.Let's not monopolize the writer for a long time.

4.Take care of your surroundings when eating and drinking. Up to two glasses of wine, and a moderate meal.

Ginza Passage, rooftop, Ginza Passage, not only wonderful exterior

[Silver] May 13, 2017 12:00

 I went to Ginzasix during times when it was not yet crowded in Taira Japan and North Korea. At 9:30 in the morning, FENDI on Ginza Street used the North Elevator to the rooftop garden. From the rooftop garden, I could see Tokyo Tower and Tokyo Sky Tree. And we enjoyed the wonderful planting. Most plants are accompanied by a card with a name and are kind.

 

 What is wonderful is that, considering the garden culture of Edo, the concept of planting is to adopt tree species that allow you to feel the changing seasons, such as cherry blossoms and maple, and convey the culture of garden and gardening that are familiar to the lives of the common people of Edo. You can enjoy the transition of the four seasons in Kiki, which is rich in variety.

 

In addition, based on the concept of "open space culture in Western Europe", the central square was made up of two types, a lawn on the right and a water tray on the left. If you are a small child, you can enjoy it barefoot. It is a measure to increase the temperature by installing rooftop greening and a basin. Rather, I would like to express my deep respect to the corporate stance of setting up such a splendid rooftop garden with observance of profit.

 

 Then, once I went down to the first floor, I used an escalator called "Ginza Passage", which leads from Ginza Street to Mihara Street. I thought it was not only for customers who came to shop, but also for the local residents, leaving the alley that was used in the building. "I think it's great!"

 

 I thought that the installation of a "horizontal passage" that penetrates north and south on the first floor above the ground in the center of the building was also designed for local residents as described above. I was impressed by the company's attitude that gave such careful consideration even when building a huge building.

 

 

GINZA MUSIC BAR at TORIBA

TORIBA COFFEE at Ginza 7-chome sells delicious coffee and coffee-related fixtures, but it is rather famous for its "tasteting". On the 4th floor of the same building, there is a shop called "GINZA MUSIC BAR". A wonderful music is flowing from the record board, and the hand drip coffee is 800 yen, so you can sit comfortably and enjoy it. We also have a lot of whiskey and liqueur bottles.

Ginza Yanagi Festival 2017 I saw a lot of smiles.

[Silver] May 8, 2017 18:00

 The Ginza Yanagi Festival 2017 was held on May 5 on Children's Day holiday.

Unfortunately, I was going to Ningyocho on the day, so unfortunately I could not see the opening ceremony.

I am participating in an antenna shop in Chuo-ku.

①Iwate Ginga Plaza, 2 Delicious Yamagata Plaza, 3 Yaesu Tourism Exchange Center in Fukushima Prefecture, 4 Gunma-chan House, 5 Ibaraki Marche, 6 Ishikawa Hyakumangoku Monogatari Edo Main Store, 7 Ginza NAGANO, 8 Kyoto Building, 9 Ginza Kumamoto Building .

 

 Following the line, I got a quiz rally voting ticket in order. And when I saw a difficult question being asked, I went to the road. Once again, I checked the contents of the quiz and received a novelty voucher for the sightseeing quiz rally.

In this novelty, I received a "measure with Gunma-chan's character drawn", and when I did it to my granddaughter, I was very pleased.

 By the way, this year was also the season of "East Odori".

The beauty of Shimbashi geisha danced and attracted me.

 "East Odori" at Shimbashi Enbujo will be held from Thursday, May 25 to 28 (Sun). Don't miss it.

Although it is called "Haven Archist", the super beauty technique like a circus with chairs was watched with a strong spit.

 I saw a lot of rickshaw riding experience and fun scenes for parents and children.

This day is Children's Day. "Kids Road Art Project", which is represented by tape on the street with parents and children. The collaborative work felt smiling.

 It was a holiday where everyone who participated in the Ginza Yanagi Festival was healthy and fun. The smile of the child holding his dad's hand on the way home was shining very much.

Thank you very much to all the staff who held this event.

Surely, the amount you sell is not half, but a large scale.

 Let's go this. I'm looking forward to it.

 Tsukiji Honganji Temple is visited by most visitors to Tsukiji Temple. The official name is "Kyoto Nishi Honganji Temple Tsukiji Betsuin".

After the collapse of the Great Kanto Earthquake, the main hall was rebuilt in 1934 as an ancient Indian-style stone building designed by Dr. Chuta Ito. Currently, the precincts are under construction. Maintenance is scheduled to be completed at the end of October 2017.
