The Chuo Ward Environmental Information Center is located on the 6th floor of Tokyo Square Garden in Kyobashi 3-chome.

Here, "Exhibition to Look at the Earth" was being held.

"It was being held" because I visited on the last day of the 26th (Tuesday).

This month is said to be the Global Warming Prevention Month, and photos and videos of regions and creatures around the world, which are said to be affected by global warming, were introduced.

As we live on the earth, we were faced with the fact that global warming has progressed, affecting the natural phenomena of the earth and creatures on the earth.

It was an exhibition that made me think about what each of us could do.

At the Environmental Information Center, lectures and lectures to expand interest in environmental issues and the circle of environmental activities, hands-on workshops where you can learn about the environment while having fun, as well as planned exhibitions and activities by registered environmental activities. Various events such as presentations are held.

The center is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., so you can stop by on your way home.

In addition, we received your consent regarding photography in the exhibition space.

Thank you very much

Tsukiji River Shukubashi Park has many kinds of roses planted so that it can be called a rose garden, and when it comes to flowering, colorful flowers bloom and I introduced it on this blog in May of this year I was allowed to do it.

On December 27, despite remontant flowering, roses are blooming well in this cold weather.

I learned that roses blooming in winter are called "Fuyusobi" (winter seasonal language) and "Winter rose" was written at the end of the first song of "Gunsei" written and composed by Shinji Tanimura. I remember that it was when this word came out.

Indeed, "Gunsei" was the theme song of the movie called "Union Fleet".

In the play, I remember that this "Gunsei" was used very effectively

Light purple scatters when broken

A single flower that blooms in Nobe

Is ephemeral like flowers the life of a person?

At least scattered in the sea

At least the winter rose that blooms in the sea and has a hearty winter rose.

(Lyrics and composed by Shinji Tanimura "Gunsei")

By the way, on the day, the temperature around Chuo-ku was about 5 degrees lower than the previous day.

It's the New Year in a few days.

On the first basement floor of Tokyo Square Garden in Kyobashi 3-chome, there is a delicious okonomiyaki and teppanyaki shop.

This is "Kichin Tsuruhashi" which I introduced in this blog before.

Today, I ordered a mixed ball set meal for lunch.

It will be crowded at 12 o'clock, so I recommend you go early.

The shop is open at 11:30.

It's a fluffy okonomiyaki with a mix of pork, shrimp and squid.

You can choose salad, side dish or white rice, but I always have salad.

I would like to have iron plate for lunch this season.

In addition to the various okonomiyaki lunch set meals, there are also teppan steak bowls and set meals, which are also delicious.

Last month, when a new chicken was added to my home and two, I went through the procedure for changing the name of their pedigree.

The name will be changed from Mr. breeder.

My dog is a dog breed called Shetland Seapdog, and has a pedigree issued by the Japan Collie Club (6-1-10 Tsukiji US Building 5F), so I asked the club to do so.

This is a procedure in which you give a transfer certificate and lineage certificate from the breeder and have the name of the new owner (I) listed on the back of the lineage card. I took it directly, but it is also possible to send it by mail.

The Japan Collie Club (map above, red spot) located right next to Tsukiji Honganji 6-chome, Tsukiji Honganji, was introduced in this blog before.

Founded in 1953, the Japan Colli Club is a nationwide organization where people who love Colli dog breeds (Rafcory, Smooth Cory, Shetland Seapdog, Border Cory) gather, and maintain, improve, breed, disseminate, and promote the correct lineage of Colli dog breeds, and issue various pedigree certificates and hold exhibitions (business shows) and hold exhibitions (business events from club events and training programs for the same event shows) for the purpose of the purpose of fellowship among members.

By the way, next year is the year of the dog, but it seems that there are plans for some special events because the Japan Collie Club will also celebrate its 65th anniversary ().

This time, the staff of the Japan Colli Club taught me various procedures.

Thank you very much

Seven years after becoming a correspondent of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association, I received the Chuo-ku Tourism Certification three times, and even if I intend to know about the historical monuments of Chuo-ku, I realize that there are things that I overlook.

At Tsukiji 6-chome, along Harumi-dori St., which is crowded with shoppers at the end of the year, there was a monument to Hachikoichiu.

The Odawara Bridge Building on the Tsukiji Fish Bank can be said to be a side place facing Harumi-dori St. (map below, red)

I must have passed in front of you many times...

In the first place, it seems that Hakkoichi is to make the world and the whole world a single house, and "Chronicles of Japan" covers the entire world. It seems that he interpreted the whole world as a single house.

It was pointed out that this was used as a slogan to justify Japan's invasion of China and Southeast Asia during World War II, and it was a word that I rarely hear in postwar Japan.

This area around Tsukiji is also the "birthplace of the Navy" and an area closely related to the "Great Japanese Empire Navy" so that you can visit the naval historic sites, and this monument may have been set up here in connection.

By the way, Chuo-ku sightseeing certification was finally one month later (Saturday, January 27, 2018)

This monument is not listed in the official text "Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia", so it is unlikely that you will enter the Chuo-ku Tourism Test at the end of next month (it should be)

Akatsuki Park at Tsukiji 7-chome is also a walking course, and the trees planted there show various expressions in each season, and it is fresh whenever you come, but Speaking of Akatsuki Park, it is still Metasequoia The impression of the giant tree is strong.

Metasequoia leaves reddish brown and leaves fall, but I feel like the fallen leaves were early this year.

Looking at the situation in the same period of the past, it is cold to be standing this year (see blog posts from last year and two years ago below).

On the other hand, camellia sasanqua is in full bloom and I feel like it's even better with flowers this year.

The buds of white magnolia seem to be wrapped in velvet during this season.

This park feels tight as it has this Siebold statue.

The statue of Siebold, a German doctor and naturalist, was set up here because this area was the birthplace of Edo Dutch studies, and he was said to have contributed to its development. It is said that Siebold's daughter, "Ine," opened a maternity hospital in Tsukiji.

Even during this season, if the weather is nice, you can see a company employee who is spreading lunch in this park at lunchtime.
