"Tetsuko's Room" started broadcasting in 1976. This exhibition commemorates 10,000 times () in the 40th year () of the program.

At the venue, the names and photographs of Showa and Heisei actors, singers, talents, and athletes who appeared in the "Tetsuko's Room" lined up, and many people were watching old days.

By the way, this picture (pictured) is made of a very small photo of Tetsuko Kuroyanagi (a spot where you can take photos)

"Tetsuko's Room" was certified by Guinness in 2011 as a record of the number of broadcasts of programs by the same moderator.

In the 8th floor hall of the venue, Nihonbashi Takashimaya, costumes and accessories actually used in the program were exhibited, and studio sets and backstage were reproduced.

The venue was large, and there was also a room where you could sit and watch the images of old performers.

Also, when the visitors stood in front of the mirror, there was also a photo shoot spot where Kuroyanagi's trademark "Onion Hair" was on his head and wearing costumes worn by Kuroyanagi, so I enjoyed it.

There is a feeling that the heat has passed the pass, but in the summer of a hot and humid city, after work, beer in Ginza.

"BEER & WINE GRILL Ginza Lion Ginza 7-chome Store", which faces the intersection of Ginza Chuo-dori and Kojunsha-dori, is a grill restaurant on the second floor of "Beer Hall Lion Ginza 7-chome Store" founded in 1934 ().

The yellow sign is familiar and eye-catching.

The "Bear Hall Lion" on the first floor is the oldest existing beer hall in Japan.

The grill restaurant on the second floor also has a private room where you can enjoy beer and wine calmly while looking at the street corner of Ginza.

Orders include royal road "Visblest Grill", "Choriso Grill", "burdock fly", "Calpaccio of Atlantic salmon", "Cheese assortment", "Smoke of Kinka Saba", "Smoke of Moul shellfish", etc.

Of course, beer

"Reproduce on paper! GINZA 1964 "(Ginza Mitsukoshi)

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] August 15, 2015 09:00

A diorama made of paper is open to the public at Ginza Terrace / Event Space on the 9th floor of Ginza Mitsukoshi.

geomit11.JPG

This is a diorama that reproduces Ginza 50 years ago, and members of the paper diorama club at Tokyo Metropolitan Osaki High School (only the only school in Japan has a paper diorama club) visited a long-established store in Ginza and collected materials. It is made by collecting materials.

geomit12.JPG

Around the Ginza 4-chome intersection, buildings such as "Wako", "Mitsukoshi", and "San-Ai" that do not seem to have been made of paper are lined up, and the Toden, which was still running at that time, and the appearance of people coming and going are precisely reproduced.

geomit13.JPG

1964 is the year when the Olympic Games were held in Tokyo.

It is a special diorama that conveys the emotion that "Ginza at that time was like this" and the energy that current high school students needed to reproduce Ginza 50 years ago.

geomit14.JPG

When I went on the day, there were members of the paper diorama club and advisor teachers, as well as paper diorama writers who are advisors of the department, and the production method and detailed ideas that can not be understood just by looking at (Diorama Mitsukoshi windows are covered with glass).)

In addition, on the same floor, a railway diorama was exhibited by the paper diorama club and a paper craft class by the same members were also held.

geomit15.JPG

By the way, this "Recreated with paper! GINZA 1964 is a stamp, and on July 21 of last month, at the Ginza-dori Post Office (formerly this paper diorama was exhibited), "Reproduced with paper! GINZA1964 "Frame Stamp Sales Commemorative Ceremony" was held.

Here's the stamp sheet.

The exhibition period at Ginza Mitsukoshi is from August 12th (Wed) to 18th (Tue).

This time, new works are also on display.

At the venue, Shoko Kanazawa's calligraphy scenery was played on a video, and the appearance of writing "Maka Hanwaka" and "Katori Fugetsu" with a thick brush was projected, and many visitors were watching.

kanamegu14.JPG 

The work on display seemed to be even more powerful than I saw last time, and I felt that I was able to get power just by looking at it.

kanamegu15.JPG 

In the hot summer, it would be nice to appreciate the works of art expressed in white and black and forget the heat for a moment.
