At the large hall of the Film Center of the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo in Kyobashi 3-chome, a retrospective feature of film director Kenji Misumi is featured.

The period is until March 13 (Sun).

Director Misumi directed many works, mainly at the Daiei Kyoto Studio, but died suddenly at the age of 54 in 1975.

This project is a special feature of "History's largest" retrospective featuring 51 of the 67 films released by Misumi directed by Misumi and 19 films in charge of production of the TV drama "Mustic" series.

I watched "Lending a wolf with a child and lending arm" from 13:00 on the 13th (Sat)

This work is the first movie of a popular drama movie, and the story of a public servant, Tosaburo Wakayama, who became an assassin from the conspiracy of the Yagyu clan and went on a wandering journey with a young child, Daigoro .

It's been a long time to watch the so-called entertainment period drama, but it seems that Misumi's features appear in the screen composition and detailed frame layout that emphasize light and shadow, and I also enjoyed the overexpression with a focus on drama.

On the first basement floor of Tokyo Square Garden, which is directly connected to Kyobashi Station on the Tokyo Metro Ginza Line, there is "Tsuruhashi Kichin" of Osaka Okonomiyaki.

You can enjoy the traditional Osaka okonomiyaki and teppanyaki menu even at lunch.

Lunch menu includes okonomiyaki set for salad or white rice, weekly set meal, domestic beef steak bowl and domestic beef hamburger set meal.

I ordered the okonomiyaki set "pork ball set"

It's definitely delicious.

We also have dinner and party menu.

There is an unfamiliar advertisement on the wall of the Ginza Sony Square building.

What is a "traveling tea stand"?

Since last fall, "Travel Tea Stand" has traveled to five cities nationwide (Roppongi, Yokohama, Nagoya, Kyoto, Kobe), and Ginza is the sixth last city.

The location will be the Ginza Sony Square Outdoor Event Space, where you can enjoy Sir Thomas Ripton's 125th anniversary special tea leaves, "Sir Thomas Ripton Travel Tea Stand" will open.

In addition to the free tasting of Sir Thomas Lipton Quiolitaba, a new product of royal milk tea powder will be distributed free of charge.

In addition, if you post your impressions and photos of your experience at the "Travel Tea Stand" on SNS, you will receive a lottery gift for Sir Thomas Ripton original mug.

It seems that the time is from 11:00 to 18:00 for two days, February 13 (Sat) and 14 (Sun).

Currently, at Gallery Ginza 2-chome, a solo exhibition by Masato Sakuma, "The Cat at My Neighbor Station" is being held.

The period is from Monday, February 8 to February 14 (Sun), and the opening hours are from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm

The last day is until 5:00 p.m.

"Illustrator Masato Sakuma, an illustrator that anyone who loves cats knows," and the illustration of Sakuma, "If you like cats, you have ever had a cat architect" I didn't know well.

I'm just ashamed of my unknown

If you appreciate your work at the gallery, you will be drawn into "Sakuma World".

Rather than "cats", "retro modern scenery with cats" is wonderful.

With calm colors, you can feel comfortable with a nostalgic atmosphere.

Not only cat lovers but also retro lovers, please drop in.

In addition, we received special consent from the person who prohibited photography in the gallery.

Thank you for your cooperation.

According to the calendar, cold days continue even after the spring.
