Currently, at the gallery on the 7th floor of the main building of the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store, "Yutaka Take Exhibition: 30 Years Walked with Nama-" is being held.

This is an exhibition that approaches the brilliant trajectory and Taketoyo's real face to commemorate Yutaka Take, who has made numerous records since his debut and has led the Japanese horse racing world, to commemorate his 30th anniversary of his debut.

At the venue, photo panels that capture famous race scenes in Japan and abroad, championship cups, favorite harnesses, horse riding clothes, etc. are displayed, and 200 items such as race scenes and off-shot photos are released.

This is an exhibition where you can re-recognize the greatness of the records set by Yutaka Take.

It was my first day, but it was a great crowd.

At the goods corner attached to the venue, photo books, DVDs, Yutaka Take original goods, etc. are also sold.

I was able to see photos and videos of riding on famous horses such as Oguri Cap, Deep Impact, Kizuna, etc.

The event period is from May 3 (Tuesday / holiday) to May 9 (Mon).

The other day, in the introduction of May dolls, "Darth Bayder warrior dolls produced by "Daiko Yoshinori" (Headquarters: 1-9-14 Asakusabashi, Taito-ku) collaborated with "Star Wars" were too popular and sold out. There was a TV report.

Speaking of "Yoshinori Daiko", it is the oldest long-established doll in Edo, famous for "Dolls have a face."

When I opened Yoshinori's website unintentionally due to the magnitude of the impact, it was explained that Yoshinori had a regular store at Nihonbashi Juken in the late Edo period, and I was happy and reported here It is up to you.

The following description is an excerpt from Yoshinori's website.

This illustration is a diagram of "Jikkenda Hinaichi" from "Edo Famous Zoukai" Makinoichi during the Tenpo era.

Painter Yukidan Hasegawa depicts the bustle of Hina City at the famous Nihonbashi Jukenten. At the top, there is a phrase of Basho's "Emperor of Uchiura Hina Doll Emperor Gou". The Yoshinori (Yamada family) family crest and Sankumatsu (Sangamatsu) are hidden in the curtain stretching over the eaves, so this figure is here from the late Edo period to the Meiji era, You can see that it was the storefront of Yoshinori.

The vermilion seal stamp of "Hina doll Handy Wholesaler Yoshinoya Tokubei" has been handed down to Yoshinori for several generations. In the Edo period, toys were called hand play.

But not only Sir Bader, but also the helmet decoration of Stom Truper, is wonderful

By the way, I feel like I saw an article in the past that Darth Bader's helmet was based on Masamune Date's helmet, so if that is the fact, suddenly there will be no discomfort, and this warrior doll will become more and more attractive.

"Showa Stars and Idol Exhibition" is being held at the 7th floor gallery of the new building of Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store.

At the venue, a single-record jacket of a popular song is displayed on the wall.

In addition, posters, photographs, pamphlets, music scores, magazines, costumes, etc. of the time were displayed, and memories of those days were revived.

I remembered Hibari Misora, Candies, Yuzo Kayama and Misanke (also the Shinsanke), Showa stars and idols, and I felt good to remember my life at that time.

The old Showa Kayo songs also flowed to the venue with images, and were immersed in the world of Showa.

CDs, DVDs, goods, etc. are also sold, and concerts and events are also held.

Like the "Yutaka Take Exhibition" being held in the main building, this was also a great crowd.

The period is from May 3 (Tuesday / holiday) to May 9 (Mon).

On April 30 (Saturday), I participated in a lecture on "Take Cultural Properties-Buddhas I Meet with Photos-" held at Nara Prefecture's antenna shop "Nara Mahorobakan" in 1-chome, Nihonbashi Muromachi.

I was a one-hour course from 13:00 in Part 1.

In this course, an active museum photographer will tell you the relationship between cultural properties and photography, the specific shooting methods of Buddha statues, and their commitments in an easy-to-understand manner.

Lecturer was Kasuke Sasaki, a member of the Nara National Museum Archives (photographic engineer).

The story began with the history of photography, and was very interesting to hear from the thoughts of the Buddha statue "shape" and "shape" and "shape" as a photographer.

The Nara National Museum celebrated its 120th anniversary last year, and on April 29, this year, the Nara Buddha statue hall, which was renovated over about two years, was reopened.

At the Nara Mahorobakan, an exhibition event is also held from Tuesday, April 26 to May 10 (Tuesday), entitled "~ Nara Buddha statue hall renewal opening commemorative-Nara Buddha statue hall Buddha statue hall Buddha statue hall" .

The course was wonderful, but the photos of the Buddha statue displayed at this event (photographed by Mr. Sasaki) are wonderful, and I would like you to stop by during the GW.
