"Hanazono Hane Soraki" is read as "Hanazono abelia spathulata". It's the Japanese name of Aberia.

It is a plant belonging to the genus Asteraceae.

Aberia and Hanazono abelia spathulata have not penetrated so much that they know, but they are planted along parks and roads, so they are familiar flowers and trees that you know if you look at them.

This aberia is currently blooming at the planting space opposite Ginza Blossom under Miyoshi Bridge (red circle on the map).

Aberia continues to bloom except when the flowering season is long and the growth of branches in midsummer and midwinter stops.

It is also an honor student of a horticultural variety that is semi-evergreen but resistant to cold.

"Tsukubane" is a feather with a feather, but it is said that the five sepals spread like a propeller look like a feather with a feather.

On the other hand, it is said that playing with wings began when playing with the fruit of "Tsukubane" by hand.

The rainy season continues, but even when the rainy season is over and the hot summer comes, Hanazono abelia spathulata continues to bloom.

You can pray for the linked strips in grand shrine, Tokyo.

G.Itoya, a new main store in Itoya, Ginza 2-chome, which was reopened in June.

The 11th floor of the 12-story building was "FARM (Farm)" and I wondered what it was, and when I went up by elevator, vegetables were exactly grown.

Safe vegetables are grown indoors by hydroponic cultivation that does not use soil.

You can see the growth of vegetables from the window using the window frame of Itoya's former stainless steel building.

The fresh vegetables harvested every day here are served at the restaurant on the 12th floor.

Indeed, local consumption products tasted in Ginza

There is an antenna shop "Marugoto Kochi" in Kochi Prefecture facing Ginza 1-chome, Sotobori-dori St.

Marugoto Kochi uses three floors of a tenant building, with the first basement floor being the locally brewed sake Crafts Sales Office Tosazo Tourist Information Center, Tosaichi, food sales on the first floor, and TOSA DINING Okokukuku.

By the way, the logo mark of "Marugoto Kochi" is the work of calligrapher Shifune.

Kochi Prefecture has the highest harvest of ginger in Japan, and many of the products sold in Tosa City are ginger pressed products.

"Niyodo River truffle"

The Niyodo River is a first-class river that flows through Ehime and Kochi prefectures and pours into Tosa Bay, but there is sake named after this river. The special brewing undiluted sake "Niyodo River" is a famous sake of Kochi Sake Brewery Co., Ltd., which strives to make sake in Ino Town, Kochi Prefecture.

The truffle "Niyodo River truffle" made by undiluted sake is a secret ingredient of Kochi ginger, and it is a special dish unique to Tosa, a famous sake brewery for adults.

Certainly, chocolate, sake and ginger do not kill each other, but their respective goodness (flavor) lives.

From June 15th, at "Gallery Ginza" in Ginza 2-chome, "The Color of Wind Light, Painting with Cut and Paste", Hiroho Tanabe Cutting Art Exhibition" is being held.

First of all, when I saw the works exhibited at the venue, I felt the clear beauty of the colors used, the soft texture of paper, and the wonderfulness of cutting.

Deeply convinced by the description of "cutting and pasting a new sensation"

Cutting art is a painting in which a drawing is first created, the image is painted on a white paper, the color is selected, cut, and pasted, and the finish is a little three-dimensional. It seems that it is characterized by the appearance (3D sense).

All of the works make you feel the natural light, and each work has a sense of air, and it makes you feel relieved to see it. The three-dimensional effect that is pasted gives depth to the work, the plants sway in the wind, and waves rush on the beach, and the world of the work is drawn into the world of the work.

By the way, it was named "cutting art" by Dr. Tanabe, and it is also registered as a trademark.

The teacher also teaches "cutting art" with lectures in Nagano, Yokohama, Tama Plaza, etc.

The cutting art exhibition will be held from 11:00 to 19:00. The last day is the 21st (Sun) and the last day is until 17:00.

In fact, if you see the work at the venue, you will be able to feel the wonderfulness.

In addition, with your consent, we took a picture of the venue. Thank you very much for your cooperation.
