[Dimini ☆ Cricket] Nov. 30, 2018 09:00

Lantana, which is planted in the planting space on the settlement Chuo-dori, the street between Catholic Tsukiji Church and Akashi Elementary School, has been blooming beautifully and for a long time this year.

Lantana is originally a tropical plant, and its origin is tropical United States, Brazil, and Uruguay.

Various horticultural varieties are produced based on this ancestor.

Horticultural varieties are characterized by relatively enduring the cold and having a long flowering period.

If you look closely, while the flowers are blooming, the same plant has already been fruited, and you can feel the length of the flowering season.

This is the first solo exhibition by Sakiko Kiyono, who lives in Chuo-ku and holds a solo exhibition in Chuo-ku.

sonati201803.JPG

Mr. Kiyono said that he was able to enter from the so-called "knitting" sweater, and expanded the range of his work to wire races.

sonati201804.JPG

You have a lot of certified instructor qualifications for knitting, wire laces and accessories.

sonati201805.JPG

This time, I learned for the first time that the wire is also described as "knitting".

sonati201807.JPG

All of the works on display were delicate, beautiful, and the fine details of the nerves were meticulous.

sonati201806.JPG

No, it's just something that makes me think it would be fun to make such a variety of works alone.

sonati201808.JPG

At the venue, a race jewelry and accessory kit by Mr. Kiyono is also sold, so that you can make your own work and enjoy it.

sonati201810.JPG

It is an exhibition that can be enjoyed just by looking at it.

Please drop in.

sonati201809.JPG

The period is from Tuesday, November 27 to December 3 (Monday).

Please note that the time is from 11:00 to 19:00 and the last day is until 17:30.

Regarding the photography in the gallery, Mr. Kiyono himself gave a kind and polite explanation of the production method of the work.

Thank you very much

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] Nov. 28, 2018 14:00

It is a dog run under () Irifune Bridge, which used to span the Tsukiji River.

This dog run "Wanwan Square" was introduced on this blog last year along with the multi-purpose open space at the adjacent Tsukiji River Park.

drun201803.JPG

This time, we will introduce two dogs from my home and based on the experience.

drun201802.JPG

When we used it, there was one dog in the small dog area and two dogs in the free area.

drun201804.JPG

This service is available from 7:00 to 20:00.

It's nice to have a dog run that is OK until 20 o'clock.

drun201805.JPG

The location is 10-2 Akashicho, the area is 458 square meters for free areas and 189 square meters for small dog areas.

My house was allowed to play in the free area, but it's quite large enough to run around.

drun201806.JPG

Despite the heavy traffic of Shin-ohashi-dori St., I didn't care about the noise of the car at all.

dogwood autumn leaves on Matsuya Street

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] Nov. 25, 2018 09:00

The autumn leaves of dogwood planted along Matsuya Street are shining brightly in the morning sun.

koyom201801.JPG

As for this street dogwood, I just introduced red fruits this month, but now the autumn leaves are more eye-catching.

koyom201802.JPG

Some of the dogwood on other streets in Chuo-ku have fallen leaves without autumn leaves, and dogwood on this street is beautifully colored.

koyom201803.JPG

When this autumn leaves are over, dogwood drops leaves during the winter and prepares for spring.

koyom201804.jpg

An illumination light bulb is wrapped around the trunk of dogwood on Matsuya Street, and I was ready to color the night of Ginza during the Christmas season.

madamada201801.JPG

Even in late November, the roses at Tsukiji River Shukubashi Park are still fine.

madamada201805.JPG

It seems that the number of flowers has increased even more than the autumn rose season.

madamada201803.JPG

In particular, if I thought that salmon pink roses closer to a large one rather than a medium ring were fine, I introduced this rose that bloomed in the park last year on December 27 (). Was

madamada201804.JPG

Indeed, as the title at that time, "Fuyusobi" is "Winter Rose".

madamada201806.JPG

Also, dark red (close to black) medium-ring roses were about to bloom.

madamada201807.JPG

On the other hand, the vine roses had a lot of rose hips.
