[Dimini ☆ Cricket] September 29, 2016 12:00

From September 26 (Monday), an exhibition of color fish reclamation has been held at Gallery Ginza 2-chome, a little southeast from Showa-dori toward Kamei Bridge.

This is the 37th Color Fish Takusaikai Exhibition.

The period is until October 2 (Sun).

Normally, fish reclamation is displayed on the wall of a fishing enthusiast's house, the wall of a fishing tool shop, and the ceiling, a black copy of the fish caught with ink, so to speak, a `` record of caught '' I think the image of what is left is strong.

The "color fish reclamation" on display in this exhibition is completely different from that.

gyota004.JPG

It's a work of art.

It is beautiful and delicate in Yumi, and it makes me want to appreciate it closely.

This method is said to be an indirect method, so paste a cloth (Hadouble) on the fish body with light glue, and after drying, use a special oily paint (ink) to 5 to 6 colors, with a unique dandelion, It seems to wear Aya carefully.

I think that the beauty and three-dimensional effect of this color is best to actually see the work. Please come and visit the venue.

Opening hours are from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. The last Sunday is until 4 p.m.

Wild flora and fauna panel exhibition [Nara Mahorobakan]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] September 27, 2016 12:00

On the second floor of Nara Prefecture's antenna shop "Nara Mahoroba-kan" in 1-chome Nihonbashi Muromachi, a panel exhibition of endangered wild flora and fauna living in Nara Prefecture was held.

redd01.JPG

It seems that the current status of these flora and fauna Nara Prefecture Red Data Book for Wild Animals and Plants in Nara Prefecture has been published.

redd02.JPG

The period is from Tuesday, September 13 to 22 (Thursday), and I think that the panel exhibition is over by the time this blog is posted, but Nara Prefecture alone is such an endangered wild flora and fauna I was surprised that there were (some)

redd03.JPG

It seems that Red Data Books are made in each prefecture, but with this book, I thought that it would be better to deepen our understanding of protecting animals and plants and nature, and link them to some specific action.

redd04.JPG

It seems that these are all endangered animals and plants, such as Nipponbaratanago, Oyamarenge, Shirabiso, Himetaikochi, Gifcho, Komadori, Nagoya Dalma frog, Kasumi Salamander, etc.

redd05.JPG

There are many historical shrines and temples in Nara, and there are many natural and human heritages that should be preserved for future generations.

Chuo-ku Tourism Test again

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] September 26, 2016 14:00

I've forgotten it completely

The bulletin board in Chuo-ku reminded me.

This year was a year when I, a Chuo-ku sightseeing correspondent, wanted to continue to be a correspondent next year, I had to retake the Chuo-ku sightseeing certification.

kenntei001.JPG

This time, it was the 9th time.

In retrospect, I took the third time for the first time, and the sixth time I re-examined was a heavy snowfall day, which was certainly considered to delay the start time of the exam.

kenntei002.JPG

And the third exam was the ninth exam.

The test date is February 18, 2017 (Saturday).

The ninth theme is the "Kyobashi area", and it seems that about 10 out of 100 questions will be asked about 10 questions related to the area around Kyobashi and Yaesu in Chuo-ku.

The text is also timely, and the partially revised Chuo-ku Tourism Test Text "Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia" will be released on October 1 (Saturday), the same day as the application start date. I will buy and study.

In addition to the assignment works, many works were exhibited, and I had a good time to be impressed by the different ways of thinking for each author and laugh with too many deformations.

The period is from Monday, September 19 to 25 (Sun).
