"Saruya" is an interesting store name. It seems that there are two theories about this origin.

 

①The monkey had a toothpick sign or two small monkeys because his teeth were white, and sold the toothpick.

 

 "Saruya" is the only toothpick specialty store in Japan that has been around for about 300 years.

 

He is also a member of the "Japan Long-established Hundred Stores Association". The toothpicks that have been used for a long time are Yang Yang Yang Yang Yang Yang Yang Yang Yang Yang Yang Yang Yong.

 

It seems that there are black letters, Ugi, etc. "Saruya" uses fragrant black letters when folded.

 

It is used and handmade one by one.

 

 In addition, a black toothpick is placed in a paulownia box and handwritten as "Kinsen Ryo" one by one is Japan.

 

He was awarded the Silver Prize at the packaging exhibition.

 

Japan can be said to be a symbol of "smart" and "practice" that can be proud of in the world.

Postcard tree-Nihonbashi Post Office-

 There was a "postcard tree" in front of Nihonbashi Post Office. What is the sharpness of this leaf?

 

It means that if you write something, it will remain clear.  "Tarayo Postcard Tree"

 

It's rare, isn't it?  It seems that this is the origin of the "postcard".

 

It was in front of the statue of "Maejima Mitsuru". Nihonbashi Post Office was April 20, 1871 (Meiji 4)

 

Along with the establishment of the modern post office system in Japan, the current Nihonbashi Post Office area was established with Ekiji and Yokkaichi.

 

Post Office (later Tokyo Central Post Office) has been set up.

2013.4.17-5.6 At Matsuya Ginza 8F Event Square

"Snoopy x Japanese Artisan Exhibition" is being held.


This is the first exhibition in which "Snoopy" and "Japanese Takumi" collaborate.


Kutani porcelain, Wajima Nuri, Arita porcelain, pearls, glyph art, Yuzen dyeing, Japanese paper, folding screens, etc.

All of them are so wonderful that they can be surprised. I looked at each work to see if it would be like this.


There is also a sale of original goods, and it is quite crowded and it can be seen as popular.

It was an exhibition of my eyes. Why don't you take a look at it?

When you exit the central ticket gate of Higashiginza Station on the Hibiya Line, you will see the atmosphere of Kabukiza. Lunch box

There are also souvenirs, restaurants, and convenience stores. Of course, ticket sales

There's also a place. If you go up to the 5th floor by the elevator in the back, you will find a rooftop garden and see clay roof tile.

Yes, sir. On the 4th floor, a model of the Kabukiza Theater from the 1st to 4th period is displayed.

Finally to the theater. In the lobby and corridor, there are actors who have entered masterpieces and demons

There were also five kinds of curtains. Also at the reception desk, Mr. Kikugoro and Mr. Koshiro

My wife, too. I saw three parts on this day (the first and second parts will be later)

But after all, it's a show off. A collection of popular boiling actors

There's a lot of people in the book. Nagauta, shamisen, and Narumono are also amazing.

I'm a member. Satocho, Saburo Sakaetsu, Denzaemon Tanaka and Denjiro brothers

He was a luxurious member of the group. It's like this.

You're stuck. I'm so happy.

Are you worried? Cherry blossoms at Shinkawa Park

[Orii Mai] March 17, 2013 10:49

013.JPG 014.jpg

Today, the Japan Meteorological Agency announced cherry blossom information. In Tokyo, 3/17 flowering 3/25 is in full bloom.

I did it. In recent years, there are many days when the daily temperature difference is large and more than 10 degrees. The wind is also at this time.

So it's so strong! It seems that many people have heard the word smoke fog for the first time.

By the way, what about cherry blossoms in Shinkawa Park? The cherry blossoms on the right bank of Eitai Bridge, always the first ride.

It's on the photo. It's in full bloom. Please see the photo below for the Shinkawa Park embankment. 3/14 14:00 Photo

That's right. It seems that the buds are still a little hard. But it's going to be warm from tomorrow, so how about 3/17?

Is it? I'm looking forward to it. How about this year's cherry blossom viewing at Shinkawa Park?
