The ability of the city where the song falls

[Koedo Itabashi] September 30, 2015 14:00

What is this sense of unity?

Everyone who listens is shaking with the rhythm they want.

Screams fly, and clapping is born.

I'm enjoying the sound.

 

"Kanazawa Jazz Street 2015" was held during Silver Week.

In recent years, there have been many music events such as jazz in the city.

The atmosphere is different from anywhere in those cities.

I felt like I was grumbled by the denseness of the density.

Oh, here's Kanazawa.

More than 100 bands on 18 stages in the city.

From combo composed of several people to big bands and orchestras

From clubs for elementary and junior high school students to professional and professional stages

What is still different is the diversity of the venue?

In addition to indoor, street corner plaza stage, open park large stage,

When you see the Omicho Market, Kanazawa Higashibetsuin, and Oyama-jinja Shrine precincts turned into a venue, you can see that the venue was changed.

There was a laugh as if I could do it so far.

The stained glass embedded in the gate of Oyama-jinja Shrine receives the remnants of summer.

When you start to shine, your heart that is solid in your life will match your jazz swing.

I felt like I was getting loosened little by little.

 

A city where Kaga Hosho-ryu songs are said to fall from the sky.

The accumulation of history that has built up a rich culture.

The eyes were washed by the trees on the approach to Hakusan Hiji Shrine.

See people who enjoy space inside and outside the 21st Century Museum of Art, which blends into the city.

The sound of jazz street.

I felt a pleasant enviable in the city of Kanazawa.

 

There is an antenna shop in Ishikawa Prefecture in Chuo Ward.

"Ishikawa Hyakumangoku Monogatari * Edo Main Store"

For the 10 days from October 3rd to 12th, the first anniversary fair of the shop opening will be held.

Demonstration sales, locally brewed sake tasting party, traditional craft experience event, daily life

The sweets of Kaga and Noto are also shown.

2-2-18, Ginza, Chuo-ku

Exit 4 of Ginza 1-chome Station on the Metro Yurakucho Line.

On each floor from the first basement floor to the second floor, there are a lot of works that relax your mind and make you feel better.

The children's "E7 series Hocrixinkansen" brought Kanazawa closer.

 

 

 

Let's enjoy it in the vicinity of Tokyo Station!

[Koedo Itabashi] August 29, 2015 09:00

In the meantime, the beer has changed so much.

I've never drunk a beer with a citrus scent.

I wonder if this is a craft beer.

It's certainly interesting.

Kraft. Oh! What about art?

"A variety of beer made by craftsmen in small brewery"

In honor of the beer raised by the brewer on hand salt, it was named "Craft".

 

For drinks that can be handled in a variety of ways, depending on the season, cuisine, region, and scene.

Beer is only the first drink.

There is an invaluable form of beer belly, and it's not a natural enemy of gout.

The "local beer", which was so fuss, was also expensive, and it was a taste that I wanted to shout "what this?"

There was no desire to pick it up again.

That thought was overturned.

 

"In the vicinity of Tokyo Station ..." is a catchphrase that invites you to compare drinking craft beer.

Until August 31, shops in the Yaesu, Marunouchi, and Nihonbashi neighborhoods around Tokyo Station sponsorship.

There is an event where you can easily enjoy craft beer.

The type of craft beer is over 100 pastests.

It seems that you can enjoy a variety of flavors according to the scene.

Each store serves a recommended tidbits that goes well with beer.

In a TV commercial of a major beer company, there was a proposal for how to drink different glasses.

It is said that only the shape changes the foaming and the spread of fragrance.

It is also easy to drink outside that you can choose a glass that has a shape depending on the store.

Hosted by the Tokyo Station City Management Council.

 

I think alcohol is the ultimate luxury item.

So, I think what I like is "Oh, I think it's good."

When asked, your favorite dish is "COEDO Ruri" from Kawagoe City.

 

 

 

Hagi City trip the day before World Heritage registration

[Koedo Itabashi] July 26, 2015 14:00

"Wow, it's like a Cambodian archeological site."

As it continues to rain, we went up the stairs at the entrance, turned to the right and looked down, and a tall brick building.

The two-legged chimney is a reinforced trace, or is bricks of different colors.

Its height is 10.5 meters.

It looked like a stupa built in a dense forest in the rain, as the two people walking in front of them raised their voices.

Hagi reverberatory furnace.

late Tokugawa shogunate, a metal melting furnace that is indispensable for casting iron cannons to strengthen the defense.

It is one of the World Heritage groups of Hagi.

I visited Hagi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture on the day I was supposed to be registered with World Heritage.

I imagined that the flag of "Holiday, Meiji Japan's Industrial Revolution Heritage Group, World Heritage Registration" flutters.

"Well, you've been postponed for a day."

The volunteer guide's uncle, too, looked sorry.

It felt a little distracted, but on the other hand, there weren't many visitors, so I took a commemorative photo firmly.

The Sanin Main Line tracks are surprisingly close to the left in front of the reverberatory furnace.

If the Diesel locomotive runs with white smoke, the atmosphere of Cambodia will become even more and more.

 

The ruins of Emisugahana Shipyard.

Unless you imagine your imagination until Ansei 3 (1856), you will not be able to float.

I wonder if the area where the stonework remained was the venue for the launch ceremony at that time.

Taking advantage of the registration of World Heritage, there will be a sudden improvement in the area where the explanation board is only available.

 

Matsushitamura Juku.

One of my alumni is from Nagato, and "Mr. Matsukage. Mr. Matsukage has a habit.

Though I thought he was a troublesome guy, for some reason, I went to drink well.

Somehow, I have been visiting Shoin Shrine for the last three years.

 

The streets of Hagi Castle

There are a lot of places where you want to press the shutter.

This year, the statue of Genzui Kusaka in Central Park was built.

It is said that the unveiling ceremony was held on January 24 as the "Advanced statue of Genzui Kusaka" at the break of 150 years after the change of the gate (this means 150 years after the death of Genzui).

The ceremony was held grandly with actor Masahiro Hidashide attending.

My bride thinks that the model of the statue with his right hand held forward is Higashiide-kun.

 

Hagi Museum.

It is located in the area of the former senior samurai area, and I always just passed through the entrance, but this time I have been taking a closer look.

The curator speaks very easily, so stand up and talk long.

I wanted to have a little more time for a gentle personality, but I left the museum with only time to eat "summer orange soft".

 

For a review of the trip, go to "Oidema Yamaguchikan" on the first floor of Nihonbashi Plaza Building, 2-3-4 Nihonbashi, Chuo-ku.

As an antenna shop in Yamaguchi Prefecture, a number of specialty products and various pamphlets are collected.

I will tell you in detail the highlights of the trip.

Dried pufferfish overnight and kamaboko are recommended items.

 

 

 

The power of regeneration, "Chinowa's going through." To the summer!

[Koedo Itabashi] June 25, 2015 16:00

"Come here, come here, and turn this way."

With his father's hand, the boy walks through the "Chinowa" on the approach to the shrine.

I really liked the tattata and the movement around the figure 8.

Make bamboo and hang a ring that bundles chigaya.

A circle set like an entrance to a different world and a ∞ character that shows infinity.

I feel that the power is drawn out, which cannot be expressed in words.

 

There is a song about the effect of Chinowa.

"The person who exorcises Natsukoshi in Minazuki is going to extend the life of Chitose."

It is a prayer for longevity.

There is also a practice of passing through the circle while singing this waka.

 

In the bulletin board of the Neighborhood Association, there was a sentence of the reception of Katashiro.

On the eve of June, he transfers his injuries to a paper doll, flows it to the river, and cleans it.

Is it a ritual of regeneration?

 

This yeny Chinowa. Actually, there is a theory that it is the prototype of the New Year's "Shinto straw festoon".

If you loosen the ring, it will be a single rope.

A rope that shows a clean place.

The figure that turns round, turns into a line, and is illusionless, is a blue general due to its thickness and color.

It is a relatively familiar "Nebi-kun" that lives widely in wilderness in Japan.

It is not uncommon for Japanese gods to borrow snakes.

The guardian angel of rivers and swamps, the Lord, the rain, the thirst, and the rich fruit.

It seems to be compatible with oval and treasure ball.

After all, the appearance of regenerating and growing while molting is very mysterious.

I feel the power that can't be measured.

The power to cross the field, cross the river, move over the rough seas, and repeat regeneration.

Old people have repeated "women's emotions" like "Anchin Kiyohime".

 

It's a rainy season.

On a sunny day, choose a new power at the nearby shrine, Chinowa Gourmet.

Let's come.

Are you on my way?

It's Tsukiji's Namishi Inari Shrine!

 

 

The lights of Tokyo, the lights of Chuo-ku

[Koedo Itabashi] May 29, 2015 14:00

"The plane came over Boso peninsula."

The captain's crisp announcement will reach your ears.

It was so fast.

I returned to reality from a nap and looked down at the night view of Tokyo Bay.

A clear night sky after a long time. A seat by the right window. We've got a good condition.

The gate bridge with a white light line shows up.

What is the direction of Chuo-ku?

If you use the Sky Tree as a landmark, you can see the outline of the Sumida River.

The Chuo-ku floating in the light from the sky is also remembered.

 

This time it was the way back to thank you to Izumo Taisha Shrine.

Taking advantage of the 1300th anniversary of Kojiki, compiled in 712, a trip to San-in, Izumo Taisha Shrine

I continue to worship.

Last year, the marriage ceremony of Kunimaro Senke and Noriko provided a lively topic.

The story of marriage by a guide with the mark of Yuru-chara "Shimanekko" is

There was a lot of trivia that I wanted to talk right away.

 

I took the inn to Matsue, but the TV news of that day and the local newspaper "Nihonkai Shimbun"

An article on "Matsue Castle Tower, National Treasure" was dancing on one side.

A celebration banner is posted on the ruins of the armor tower.

It was the first ride after the report to be designated as a national treasure.

There are 12 castle towers nationwide, among which it is the fifth national treasure.

The castle was built in Keicho 16 (1611).

The statue of Yoshiharu Horio, who is said to have laid the foundation for the present Matsue City, is in charge of the castle construction.

It was built in Otemae Square two years ago.

 

Before the trip, I visited the Nihonbashi Shimanekan.

Information on Izumo and Iwami is packed at an antenna shop in Shimane Prefecture.

1-5-3, Nihonbashimuromachi, Chuo-ku

From the A4 exit of Mitsukoshimae Station on the Tokyo Metro (Ginza Line, Hanzomon Line) to the ground, you can see it in front of you.

That's right.

Oh, do you want to pick up cherry blossoms on your blog at this time?

At the famous places in the city, cherry blossom blizzards rise in the strong winds of the weekend, and the scenery full of frames.

The area of the sky has expanded.

Indeed, the full bloom front of the Yoshino cherry tree shifted to the northern Kanto and southeastern regions.

You can still enjoy the cherry blossoms.

The petals laid on the surface of ponds and rivers are blown by the wind like a kaleidoscope.

It's also quite a bit of a taste.

Several pieces that flew down the path of the garden and were blown up in the passage of a high-rise apartment, commuting in the morning

It brings peace of time.

It is also a season when the cherry blossoms inflate the color of green and turn into cherry blossom young leaves.

The height of the flowers will now move to weeping cherry trees and Yae-zakura.

A luxurious seasonal gift in Tokyo.
