GINZA SIX CHRISTMAS 2018 "Fantastic Gift" Let's go to see huge art

[Silver] Nov. 13, 2018 18:00

The central part of Ginza SIX is named sixième. 

I heard that this sixième (pronunciation is sigem) means the sixth in French, representing Ginza SIX.

 There, the central part was a stairwell up to the 4th floor, and when the store opened, Yayoi Kusama's "LOVE FOREVER" was exhibited. This time, I'm doing the third remodeling. It's a very dreamy work.

It is said that a Christmas promotion will be held entitled "GINZA SIX CHRISTMAS 2018" Fantastic Gift "-The Story of" Winter Kingdom "and" Summer Kingdom "".

 

For this year's Christmas art, French artist Nicolas Buffe (Nichola Buffe) was appointed. Focusing on the huge art exhibited in the symbolic central atrium space of GINZA SIX, it will be developed in various areas inside the museum, such as the front entrance facing Ginza Chuo-dori and the B2F show window, and will also carry out hands-on production utilizing cutting-edge AR technology.

 That huge art is an elephant swimming in the air.

Look from the side. I think you will be very pleased if you go to a meal & shopping with your child and grandchild.

The Hamarikyu Garden, which walks through Harumi Ohashi, Toyosu Ohashi, and Tsukiji Ohashi, is right in front of you.

[Silver] Nov. 10, 2018 09:00

 On November 5, from Harumi Triton Square, we toured the "Furusato Harumi Archives Exhibition Hall" at the side of Harumi Ohashi from outside, and saw a fine mikoshi on display.

He then crossed Harumi Ohashi for the first time in several years.

 Cross the Toyosu Ohashi Bridge, which became accessible on November 4.

 On the left hand, look at the Harumi Passenger Ship Terminal and the construction site of the tremendous development condominium complex.

Look at the signboard of "Athlete Village Construction Site" near Plaza Harumi.

Tokyo Olympics. I felt that the Paralympic Games will be held in 2020.

 We passed through an intersection with condominiums such as Tokyo Towers, located on the south side of Kachidoki Station, and headed to Tsukiji Ohashi.

At Tsukiji Ohashi, I met several pairs of parents and children walking from apartments around Tokyo Towers. One set goes to the Kabukiza Theater. The other group was walking to Ginza 8-chome. It was tentatively opened for the bypass of Route 2, but traffic became very convenient, Chuo-ku was double geographically doubled and artificially doubled, making it a great development I had a feeling. And at the exit of the bypass of Route 2, Hamarikyu Onshi Garden, a water bus was about to leave.

 It was my first time to see a water bus so much that I could get it, and the greenery of Hamarikyu made me forget that I was in a big city of Tokyo. Silver

 

 

The 20th Navel Exhibition To build the era of Chuo-ku Industrial Culture Exhibition and open up the next generation

[Silver] Nov. 8, 2018 12:00

 "The 20th Navel Exhibition Chuo-ku Industrial Culture Exhibition" was held for three days on November 4, 5, and 6, 2018.

This is a cultural exhibition entitled "Chuo-ku's industry and culture, which builds the times and warms up the next generation and learns new things." Also, it's the last navel exhibition in the Heisei era.

At the Grand Lobby of Harumi Island Triton Square, a large number of customers, especially children from nearby elementary schools, visited the social studies tour. The booth of the Chuo-ku Tourist Information Center was at the entrance, and Kumihimo and "Senshafu Furoshiki" in Chuo-ku were exhibited and sold. I think this Senshafuroshiki is good for bandanas that cover the head. If you put it in a bag, I think it will be a substitute for a muffler that covers the neck when the wind blows.

 When I entered the venue, my eyes were nailed to the kimono of the Origami Kaikan Tokyo Orimono Inventory Association. It is a costume worn by the Emperor and Empress during the Imperial Family Festival. In addition, kimonos such as Junihitoe were on display.

 In a quiz that is popular among elementary school children, a quiz is held.

A booklet called "Tokyo Chamber of Commerce and Industry Understanding with Manga" was distributed to all correct answerers, commentary by Detective Conan. I gave it to me too.

We received a collection of 100 views of Nihonbashi, published by Taisei Printing Co., Ltd. (Nihonbashi Marching Committee).

DSCN2034 (400x300). jpg

 "I would like you to express familiar scenery and cityscapes, such as everyday scenes, memories schools, bridges, historical buildings, and delicious shops, with watercolors full of taste, and enjoy the changing city." Greetings are written.

Local Tsukishima Industrial Association, Tokyo Fire Department Rinko Fire Station, Chuo-ku Kazuo Confectionery Association, Tokyo Stock Exchange, etc. were also exhibited.

There were also food counters such as eel climbing, Tsukiji Tama Sushi, and Uokyu.

DSCN2038 (400x300). jpg

The booths of Ozu Washi and Edoya were also crowded with many people.

 I enjoyed the quiz rally that I received immediately after entering.

In the Tosho 140th Anniversary X quiz, "?" How many years did the navel exhibition be held for the first time?" Or, (the answer is 1980)

DSCN2052 (400x300). jpg

It was a quiz about the industry that was made for the first time in Chuo-ku and the food made for the first time.

 After the quiz, get prizes, arrange today's results, and expand your purchased lunch. 

In addition, we received a paper balloon from the Tsukishima Industrial Association, stationery for the navel exhibition, and a booklet on Chuo-ku "Transition of Town Name".

 The eel lunch at Totei, which I haven't eaten for a while, was plump and really delicious. 

The "Super absorbent microfiber umbrella cover", which was given as a quiz prize, is not only convenient for carrying wet umbrellas, but also effective in keeping plastic bottles warm and easy to use. Thank you very much. We look forward to seeing you in the next generation.

We went to "Fankel Ginza Square" on the 10th floor of Fankel Ginza Square for consecutive days on November 5th and 6th. The event will be held from November 2 to 9.

Under the theme of "delicious rose garden", roses with a delicious name were shown.

Many of the visitors were still women, and they enjoyed viewing roses gracefully and happily.

A rose with the name, was competing for a wonderfully delicious one.

 This time, I saw the article published in the November issue of Ginza Hundred Points, and I was able to view it during the period.

In Ginza 100 points, there is a "Building with a famous mural in Ginza".

On the 2nd floor of FANCL Ginza Square, the flagship store of FANCL, you can see the "Mural of Goddess" by Noriko Tamura, who is active on the world stage.

The largest mural in Ginza, 4m long and 11m wide, is truly a masterpiece and free drinks, so please spend your time in front of the mural. There is an introduction article. (A photo of a mural looking up from the 1st floor below) And as a privilege to visit the Rose Garden, the first 100 people will receive a clear file of "Mural of Goddess" by artist Noriko Tamura. (It is necessary to bring the November issue of Ginza 100 points.) I was lucky enough to get a wonderful clear file. It's nice to be fashionable to carry the documents.

Asahi Inari Shrine, located on the roof of the Ohiro Asahi Building, can visit vermilion seal stamp on the street after worshiping through a transmission pipe. Kabuki Inari Shrine, which is enshrined in front of Kabukiza, hoped that the tradition of Japan will be connected. Azuma Inari Shrine was awarded Takara money again this year with the service of local shops.

 After 16 o'clock it was time for vermilion seal stamp to be stamped, so it was a rush. Two women with me ran, too. A woman from Sagamihara, whom I met on the way, also ran along.

Oami Shrine Manfukubune Noriten Festival Mamoruri is a new tone

[Silver] Nov. 2, 2018 14:00

 Koami Shrine's "Manfukufune Nori Benzaiten Festival" was held on October 29.

DSCN2385 (400x300). jpg

According to HP,

"The Benzaiten of this shrine (Ichikishima Hiyorijin) is the Benzaiten that was enshrined at Manfuku Kotobuki-ji Temple, which is said to be the origin of Sozu Eshin, which was located on the same grounds. In the first year of the Meiji era, after the enforcement of the Shinto and Buddha separation order, the shrine and temple were separated, but since then the temple was completely abolished, so it was transferred to this shrine in 1869 (AD 1869). In connection with the temple, the statue is boarded on a boat, so it is called Manfuku Boat Nori Benzaiten.
  Every year on October 28, the Manfuku Boat Nori Benzaiten Festival is held, and it is full of many worshipers. On the day of the event, the company president awarded lottery tickets to offering, etc. (If October 28 is Saturday, it will move to 27th and Sunday to 29th). This year, it was held on October 29th.

 The Koami Shrine Tokyo Zen Arai Benzaiten Festival is sponsored by local companies, and as a result of lottery, you can get products from that company. I had a red mark on the tip of the bamboo skewer, and received products from a food company. I was pleased by my wife because it was the best thing for cooking.

 Finally, I was able to visit you, and fortunate protection against misfortune's talismans were given new things. With this, I will be able to stay well next year.
