mss201803.JPG

The time is from 11:00 to 18:00, but the last day is until 16:00.

mss201804.JPG

Mr. Matsuda is a calligraphy artist.

mss201805.JPG

A work that combines the so-called “Western Japanese calligraphycalligraphy with beautiful watercolor painting is on display.Art

mss201806.JPG

The calligraphy characters are so elaborate that they can't seem to be handwritten, and there is warmth because they are handwritten.

My photographic techniques can't convey this splendor, so I recommend that you check it with your own naked eye.

mss201807.JPG

The watercolor painting, drawn by transparent watercolor paint, seems to capture the air feel of the fresh season of Europe.

The picture above, the work of Reese, was very matched in this season, near Christmas.

In addition, regarding photography at the gallery, we received your consent, and the person explained the method of producing the work.

Thank you very much

Lantana of Akashicho

[The Minnie Cricket] 09:00 on November 30, 2018

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

akasiran201801.JPG

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

akasiran201802.JPG

Based on this ancestor, various horticultural varieties are produced.

akasiran201803.jpg

Gardening varieties are characterized by relatively enduring cold weather and having a long flowering period.

akasiran201804.jpg

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

[The Minnie Cricket] 09:00 on November 29, 2018

This is an introduction of the exhibition being held on the second floor of "Gallery Ginza", an art gallery in Ginza 2-chome

sonati201801.JPG

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

sonati201802.JPG

It is entitled "Weave, Weave, Spinning."

sonati201803.JPG

Mr. Kiyono came in from the so-called "knitting" sweater, hand spinning "thread" sweater, and expanded the range of his work to wire races.

sonati201804.JPG

We have a lot of certified instructor qualifications for knitting, wire racing and accessories

sonati201805.JPG

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

sonati201807.JPG

All the works on display were delicate, beautiful, and I felt the fineness of the nerves that were meticulous in detail.

sonati201806.JPG

Oh, it's just something that makes me think that it would be fun to make such various works alone.

sonati201808.JPG

At the venue, Mr. Kiyono's lace jewelry and accessory kits are also sold, so you can make and enjoy the work yourself.

sonati201810.JPG

This is an exhibition where you can enjoy just looking at it.

Please drop in.

sonati201809.JPG

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

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

Irifune Hashimoto's Dog Run [Tsukiji River Park]

[The Minnie Cricket] 14:00 on November 28, 2018

This is a dog run under the Irifune Bridge that used to be over the Tsukiji River.

Irifune Bridge is a bridge located on Shin-ohashi-dori St.

drun201801.JPG

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

drun201803.JPG

This time, I will introduce you based on my experience with two dogs from my home.

drun201802.JPG

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

drun201804.JPG

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

Thank you for having a good dog run until 20 o'clock.

drun201805.JPG

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

Our house was allowed to play in the free area, but it is quite large enough to run around.

drun201806.JPG

Despite the heavy traffic Shin-ohashi-dori St., the noise of the car was not bothered at all.

drun201807.JPG

Here is a blog post that introduced Wanwan Square last year. ⇒
