It is a long and narrow municipal park along the Sumida River on the southeast side of St. Luke Garden.

During the lunch break, it is a place to relax for those who take lunch here or drink the tea they bring and rest.

You can see high-rise apartments lined up on the Riverside and water buses that come and go.

It feels hot during the daytime in summer, but the leaves of the trees that are planted are creating a moderate shade during this season.

Trees such as cherry blossoms, rose of sharon, dogwood, zelkova and Hana peach are planted in the park.

The night view is beautiful at night, and the river breeze from the Sumida River is also a recommended walking course.

 

 

The Hamarikyu Garden in mid-July is full of greenery.

Green on the lawn, the green of the "300 Years of Pine", and the green of a large tree that is unlikely to have been reclaimed and planted in the past.

In such a green, it is blooming in the hot season.

The Hamarikyu Onshi Garden, which is full of green and summer flowers, is hot, but it is pleasant to stroll around the sea breeze.

 

 

During this season, stroll through the Hamarikyu Gardens and you can meet various summer creatures.

The white butterfly was also found in Kibana cosmos and dandelions, and the yellow flowers and the white monshiro butterfly was beautiful.

Aosji Ageha is also coming to rose of sharon, but it's too fast to take a good picture.

Hakusekirei (male)

He was on a small path in the shade of a tree and let me take pictures nearby.

The Hamarikyu Onshi Garden is a style that draws in seawater and changes the taste of the pond due to the ebb and flow of the tide, so you can meet seaside creatures.

I'm in Yokobori, I don't move at all, and I think it's a figurine

grey heron

By the way, the names of Hakusekirei and grey heron were taught by the same correspondent, Usako Tsukuda.

There is an introduction to fish in the tide pond.

There is a lot of crucian carpet at the sluice gate (Yokobori sluice gate).

At this sluice gate, a lot of goby friends were gathered

Kurodai is resting at the bridge (Oden Bridge). There were a number of them

When I came last year, there were mullets and seigos, but I didn't see them on this day.

There were still few cicadas, and on this day only kaempfer cicada's cry.

If hot days continue from now on, minminminminzemi and abrazemi will also be added and will begin to cry.

There were still few dragonflies (Akane).

"Li Keiko Exhibition Vol.6" is currently being held at REIJINSHA GALLERY, located on the first basement floor of the Mitsuwa Building, Ginza 6-chome.

The first floor of the Mitsuwa Building is Mr. Miwa, a jewelry store.

This is the 6th exhibition of Keiko Lee at this gallery.

When you step into the gallery, colorless glassware, vases, and objects are displayed in a white venue.

Lighting creates very beautiful shadows on tableware, vases, and objects hanging from the ceiling.

This is a wonderful exhibition unique to this gallery.

The period is from Friday, July 14 to 28 (Fri).

The opening hours are from 12:00 to 19:00, and the closing days are Monday.

The last day is until 17:00.

The gallery on the first basement floor is so quiet that you can enjoy the work slowly in a quiet and calm atmosphere that you can not imagine just entering one from the main street in Ginza.

The space where you can forget the summer heat and spend a pleasant and fulfilling time is wonderful.

Please come by all means

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

Thank you very much

At St. Luke's First Gallery in front of the restaurant on the 1st floor of the main building of St. Luke's Main Building, 9-1 Akashicho, "Shonoro Yamanaka's Works Exhibition-Nyan One, Familiar Animals Drawed by Pastel-" is being held.

When I visited, I was able to hear directly from Mr. Yamanaka who came to the gallery.

Yamanaka has been holding an exhibition at this gallery since the first exhibition in 2001, and this is the 30th time ().

It seems that all the works are pastel paintings, but while there are works that draw in detail one by one of the hairs of cats and dogs, there are also humorous works with completely different touches, so I can not imagine it as the work of the same writer, I am surprised

Yamanaka's work is wonderful not only because it is drawn in detail, but also the casual expressions and gestures of cats and dogs are captured.

Goods such as cards and one-stroke notes are also on sale.

The event will be held from Monday, July 17 to 22 (Sat), and the time is from 9 am to 5 pm

The last day is from 10am to 4pm.

Mr. Yamanaka says that if he gives him a picture, he will draw portraits of his cat and dog, and I think he will draw his dog at home.

Mr. Yamanaka's consent was given to the photography at the gallery, and Mr. Yamanaka gave us a kind and polite explanation. Thank you very much
