At the Noevia Ginza Gallery (Ginza 7-6-15 Noevia Ginza Headquarters Building 1F) facing Namiki-dori St., from January 12 (Tuesday), "Dedicated to Ken Domon-Kazuyoshi Miyoshi Photo Exhibition" Murouji Twelve Gods "is being held.

Miyoshi seems to have longed for Ken Domon since he was a junior high school student and aspired to become a photographer, and this time, Miyoshi challenged to shoot Muro-ji Temple, which Domon loved.

By the way, this gallery has also held a photo exhibition by Mr. Domon.

Muro-ji Temple is a temple of the Omotoyama of the Shingon sect Muro-ji school in Uda City, northeastern Nara Prefecture, and is also known as "Women Takano" because women were allowed to visit Kongo-buji Temple, which was forbidden for women.

In this exhibition, from Mr. Miyoshi's work on the theme of Muro-ji Temple, the 12 samurai gods "Twelve Gods", who protect Yakushi Nyorai, are exhibited.

The appearance of all 12 photos is impressive, and each expression is very realistic.

The exhibition period is until March 25 (Fri), and the opening time is from 10 am to 6 pm

Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays are until 5:00 p.m.

Thank you for your understanding of the photography at the gallery.

At Canon Digital House Ginza, a personal showroom in Canon located on the first floor of the Torrance Ginza Building in Ginza 3-chome, a service that takes profile pictures is currently being offered.

The period is from Friday, January 15 to February 29 (Mon), and during the opening period, you can take pictures at any time without reservation.

The showroom staff will use Canon's telephoto zoom lens to shoot your "one of the miracles" for free.

It seems that shooting is one pattern at a time, and the shooting time is about 10 minutes.

However, it is said that those who have a smartphone can take it, and the profile photos taken will be transferred to their smartphone via Wi-Fi.

(It is necessary to download and install (free) the smartphone-only application "Camera Connect" in advance.)

I haven't been there yet, but I'd like to find time and take a picture.

If you come to Ginza, it would be interesting to stop by.

This museum is open from Monday to Saturday, from 10:30 to 18:30.

Sunday, public holidays, and the company's holidays are closed.

A 1-minute walk from Exit 2 of JR Shin-Nihonbashi Station, we had "Tenei Soba" at Nihonbashi Fukushimakan MIDETTE, an antenna shop in Fukushima Prefecture.

It's "Wariko soba." The scent of soba was very good.

The tempura "Yakon" was also delicious.

Yacon is a perennial plant of the Asteraceae family, which looks like sweet potatoes, but the texture is crisp and looks like yamaimo.

Originally it was not a Japanese vegetable, it was made in the mountains of Andes.

It seems to be made in Tenei Village, Fukushima Prefecture.

The address of Nihonbashi Fukushimakan MIDETTE is on the 1st floor of Yanagiya Taiyo Building 4-3-16 Nihonbashi Muromachi.
