It is said that the rainy season has begun in the Okinawa region, with the top of the whole country on the 22nd of this month, but this has not yet dawned, and the rainy season continues.

In such a sunny weather, the Agapanthus of Tsukiji River Kameibashi Park is beginning to bloom again this year.

There is a white and light purple Agapanthus at the Pele Near Garden (perennial plant's flower bed) in the park and at the entrance of the park.

Two years ago, when I introduced it on this blog on July 10, it was almost in full bloom, but this year it is still about to bloom.

Agapanthus is a flower with beautiful standing appearance and refreshing feeling even if it blooms in midsummer.

If you come near you, please drop in.

At the "Megumi Ogita Gallery", a gallery on the first basement floor of the Ginza Otsuka Building in Ginza 2-chome, a new solo exhibition by Ayumu Fushiguro, "The Shape of Flying" is being held.

This is the sixth solo exhibition by Mr. Fushiguro at the gallery.

The first impression is "mysterious, non-flying bird" still life painting ""

You can see that the object being drawn is a bird, but its body is like a figurine, just above the neck (especially the eyes) and seems to be appealing for something, and you will stare at it It has such power.

It seems that acrylic paints, sprays, and watercolor paints are used, but their colors, dents, and blur are different for each work and are interesting.

When I asked the gallery, Mr. Fushiguro's work "evolving" every time he held a solo exhibition at this gallery. It was said that there was a period of "three-dimensional painting" () that treated clay in the same way as paint and created it, and has it been changed to a more abstract expression from there?

This time, a new exhibition of ceramic works is also being held.

In my understanding and expressiveness, it is difficult to convey at all, and this is a new solo exhibition by a writer with mysterious charm and power that makes you want to confirm it with your own eyes.

Even if I don't have enough understanding, I think the title "I can't fly" is very appropriate.

The event will be held from Friday, June 9 to July 1 (Sat).

Opening hours are from 11:00 to 19:00, and are closed on Sundays, moons and public holidays.

In addition, this time, we received your consent for photography and coverage in the gallery.

Thank you very much

The Noevia Ginza Gallery is located on the first floor of the Noevia Ginza headquarters building facing Ginza 7-chome, Namiki-dori St.

Currently, there is a photo and paper cut exhibition "Insects in Paradise" by Mitsuhiko Imamori.

It seems that Mr. Imamori's exhibition will be held at this gallery for the fifth time.

Mr. Imamori is from Shiga Prefecture, and his photography technology was learned by himself. As a freelance photographer, he set up an atelier in the countryside overlooking Lake Biwa, pursues the relationship between nature and people with the concept of "satoyama", while visiting countries around the world to pursue the ecology of living things and wide-ranging the world It seems that he is covered.

Using two different methods, two-dimensional photography and three-dimensional paper cutting, the same artist expresses "insects of paradise".

Mr. Imamori's paper cut exhibition held here last year was a so-called "cut-out picture", which was expressed in a two-dimensional manner in a wide range of fields from mammals to reptile and insects, and this time, in addition to vivid color photographs, insects were expressed three-dimensionally using colored paper and translucent clear files, and I was surprised that the atmosphere was different from rats.

The color picture is beautiful.

And the beetles that are about to fly off by spreading the front and rear wings, the grasshoppers that are jumping, and the dragonfly's "paper craft" works that seem to stop at the tip of the branch are realistic and wonderful.

The event will be held from Monday, June 12 to September 1 (Fri).

The event is held from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm, and on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays it is until 5:00 pm

It is also held during the summer vacation season in August, so if you come to Ginza or take a stroll around Namiki-dori St., please stop by.

In addition, photography in the gallery was prohibited, and we received special consent and photographed. Thank you very much

This year, screw bana (twisted flower) is blooming pink flowers in a park in Chuo-ku.

It is a small plant belonging to the genus Negibana () Negibana, also known as Mojizuli (perennial perennial)

As you can see, the " twisted inflorescence" in which flowers bloom in a spiral shape around the flower stem is the origin of the Japanese name.

It seems that it is sometimes called "negilebana", "negilibana", "negiri grass".

The scientific name Spiranthes is also derived from the Greek word "speira (spiral) + anthos (flower)".

It seems that there are both right and left rolls.

It seems that the flower color is not only pink but also white.

On the afternoon of June 10 (Saturday), we watched the "19th Classical Performing Arts Appreciation Party" organized and produced by the Chuo-ku Cultural and International Exchange Promotion Association sponsored by the Chuo-ku Classical Performing Arts Association.

The venue was the Nihonbashi Theater at Nihonbashi Kakigaracho 1-chome (Nihonbashi Public Hall Hall in Nihonbashi Kumin Center).

Applicants apply in advance by postcard, and the target audience was those who live or work in Chuo-ku and those who wish to appreciate it.

The contents are:

（１） The lecture was given by Shigero Ito, entitled "Chuo-ku and Chushingura-Oishi built-in assistant in Nihonbashi and Nanji Akaho buried in Honganji-".

Mr. Ito was a 20-minute lecture by Edo late Tokugawa shogunate researcher living in Shintomi-cho, but there were plenty of unknown and unexpected stories.

（２） The performance of Nagauta "Chitose of the Island", a small drum of Kisaku Katada, an honorary resident of Chuo-ku and a living national treasure (), and a shamisen of Norimitsu Kiya, also an honorary resident of Chuo-ku and a living national treasure (). People were

（３） In Nagauta "Urashima", Kikutou Tatekata Onoue performed, and the performance was now performed by Jiro Fujimi.

（４） Rakugo was "puzzling sparrow" by Mr. Kanaharatei Mao.

There was a lot of voice saying "Kibikicho" to the appearance of a master of Masei from Ginza.

（５） In Nagauta "Uguisukujuku Ume", the dances were Tsuru Hanayanagi, Toshihiko Hanayanagi, Kura Sumi Hanayagi, and the performances were from Jiro Fujimi Shrine.

This was a fun work like a fairy tale-like fairy tale with Kyogen.

The music was performed by people from Shinjuro Katada, and the moderator was Riseki Tobaya.

With the careful introduction before the performance started, I was able to enjoy all the performances.

The capacity was 382 people, but in fact the venue was full.

I thought that it would be unique to Chuo-ku, which has been the center of culture and art since the Edo period, that such appreciation events were held continuously and counted 19 times.
