In the light rain, the green rooftop greening on the 9th floor of Ginza Mitsukoshi on the west side of Ginza Terrace is vivid.

From here in the photo below, you can see Wako's clock tower at this angle.

It is a lawn open space above the Ginza 4-chome intersection.

In a corner of "Terrace Garden", which consists of a lawn open space and a planting space, there are Ginza Susei guardian of children and travelers and Sankai Shrine Ginza auxiliary shrine.

Ginza Succession guardian of children and travelers is a guardian of children and travelers that is said to have been dug out from Sanjumabori at the beginning of the Meiji era.

It was relocated to our office when Ginza Mitsukoshi was newly built in 1968.

Miguri Shrine is said to be the guardian angel of the Mitsui family (the predecessor of Mitsukoshi).

It is said that Kobo Daishi was built, and the soul of Ukayuki is enshrined.

The fact that the white fox went around sacred object of worship three times came to be called "Miguri"

The color leaves of Hugh Kera and geranium in the planting space are also beautiful.

The other day, there was an announcement that the Sony Building facing the Sukiyabashi intersection will be renewed on a large scale, and as mentioned in this blog, an event introducing this project is currently being held on the 8th floor of the Sony Building. I am.

The "Ginza Sony Park Project" is a project to carry out a large-scale renovation of the Sony Building over seven years from this year, the 70th anniversary of Sony's founding () and the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Sony Building.

On the wall of the Sony Building, the word "Sony creates a vacant lot in Ginza" is written.

The concept is "a facility open to the city", and between 2018 and 2020, the ground part will be opened as "Ginza Sony Park" as an open and flat space, and the New Sony Building scheduled to be completed in 2022 It is said that the aim is to complete urban and highly public facilities by inheriting the concept of park.

At the project exhibition, while looking back on the 50-year history of the opening of the Sony Building with materials, photographs, models, etc. at that time, image models of "Ginza Sony Park" and design drawings and models of the new Sony Building are exhibited.

On the 6th floor of the Chuo-ku Public Health Center Complex, opposite the road on the south side of Akashicho and St. Luke International Hospital, there is Time Dome Akashi (Chuo Ward Local Tenmonkan) on the 6th floor of the Chuo-ku Public Health Center complex.

This facility combines the permanent gallery space, the planetarium, and the inhabitant gallery of local materials, and is currently being held at the Chuo-ku Modern Building Panel Exhibition.

In this exhibition, some of the buildings selected for the "100 Modern Building Surveys" were introduced on panels.

In Chuo-ku, for three years from 2011, he conducted a survey on modern buildings existing in Chuo-ku, and based on the results, selected "100 Modern Building Surveys".

Some of the buildings introduced on the large panel knew, while others saw them for the first time this time.

Indeed, it is the buildings that color Chuo-ku and the buildings that tell the history of Chuo-ku.

The glossary booklet prepared at the venue was detailed and I learned a lot about Machiya architecture and signboard architecture.

There is also a map where you can meet these modern buildings, and I thought it would be fun to walk in Chuo-ku with this in hand.

The event will be held until July 3rd (Sun). Monday is closed.

In addition, we received special consent for photography at the venue. Thank you very much

rose of sharon is in full bloom

rose of sharon is a deciduous tree of the family Aoiaceae, and is widely planted as garden trees.

The photo shows the planting area in front of a convenience store and the planting area in Shin-ohashi-dori St. under the Tsukiji side of Irifune Bridge.

Flowers are short-lived and are a one-day flower that squeezes in the evening of that day if they bloom in the morning, but they constantly bloom new flowers one after another from summer to autumn.

From here, proverbs such as "Gunka's One Day" and "Gunka's One Dynasty Dream" can be made, and may have been used to mean "a little prosper of just a day."

It is a flower that suits both Tsuyudoki and midsummer, and Mokichi Saito is in "Aratama".

"It's raining and I'm so happy that I can see from the window."

It's written.

It's the autumn season in Haiku.

Matsuo Basho is "Nozarashi Journey,"

"Mokuge of the Road is a horse."

It's written.

Also, the hot summer is coming.

Until now, I thought it was a flowerbed even if I passed sideways, and I never noticed it.

Immediately after crossing Tsukijibashi from the Chuo-ku government office side, facing Heisei-dori, there was a monument to the memorial of the arrival of the rescue army.

It's opposite the Kyobashi Tax Office (map below, red).

The Salvation Army (The Salvation Army) is an independent group of Christianity Protestant founded in 1878 in U.K.

Known for conducting evangelism and social business under a unique military organization, at the end of the year, it is remembered that men and women wearing military uniforms blowing trumpets and collecting donations to "social pots" .

Rather than saying, "I'm reminded," should I say that it is more emphasized as a year-end feature in TV dramas and is memorable?

In Japan, Colonel Wright came to Japan in 1895 (Meiji 28) to establish the Japan Salvation Army.

It seems that Colonel Wright and his colleagues set up Japan's first headquarters in this area and started rescue operations.

This monument was set up in 1995 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Salvation Army in Japan.
