Nara Mahoroba-kan, an antenna shop in Nara Prefecture, is across Chuo-dori and opposite the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi New Building. In Chuo-ku, there are many antenna shops in each prefecture, but in terms of the number of events and lectures, isn't this Nara Mahoroba building top class?

Currently, on the second floor, a photo exhibition "The folklore of Yamato caught by me" is being held. This is a competition exhibition by 10 photographers. This is a photo exhibition where the lifestyles of the people of Yamato are cut out through festivals, events and prayers, and for some reason you feel nostalgic. The period is until June 1.

In addition, in cooperation with this photo exhibition, a lecture entitled "Yamato Festival and Prayer" was held on May 24, and I went to listen. . The lecture is Hiroko Yokoyama, Chief Curator of the Nara Prefectural Folk Museum. Mr. Yokoyama's one-and-a-half hour lecture was very interesting and enjoyable, with the story of the people living in Yamato and the annual events firmly rooted in the rhythm of living.

In this season, on Ginza Marronnier Street, not only Marronnier but also trees that entertain us with flowers are entering the flowering season.

The photo shows near the intersection of Marronnier Ginza 2-chome, which is blooming.

Fuji's Hanabusa hangs from the rooftop, in Ginza 3-chome, a building containing Nonohanaji, a specialty store for wildflowers and tea flowers.

In Ginza 2-chome, the building behind dogwood's flowering is Winds Ginza (Japan Racing Association (JRA) Out-of-site Katsuma Vote Ticket Release Office (WINS)).

This dogwood is blooming to cover the roof of a public health facility near the former Toyotama Bridge.

Every flower seems to be fun for a while
