This is a lively exhibition suitable for the coming Christmas, the end of the year, and the beginning of the year.

In addition, in the gallery, when you look at the floor, the spotlight that reminds you of rose flowers shines, enlivening the atmosphere of the venue.

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] Nov. 9, 2018 18:00

Currently, Takeshi Mizukoshi's photo exhibition "MY SENSE OF WONDER" is being held at "Communication Gallery Fugensha" on the second floor of Tsukiji Garden Building, Tsukiji 1-chome.

mizuko201801.jpg

The hours are from Tuesday to Friday from 12:00 to 19:00 and Saturday from 12:00 to 17:00, and Sunday and Monday are closed.

It seems that it will be open on November 23 (holiday) without a break.

mizuko201802.JPG

This is a photo exhibition by Takeshi Mizukoshi, an international natural photographer.

mizuko201803.JPG

At Fugen, it is said that it will be Mr. Mizukoshi's solo exhibition for the first time in three years since "Tenjo Monochrome"

mizuko201804.JPG

This time, a total of 40 colored landscape photographs taken throughout Japan from the 1970s to the 2010s will be exhibited in the first and second half of the year.

mizuko201805.JPG

The sound of water in the previous fiscal year: November 6 (Tuesday) - 17 (Sat)

Late "Sound of Light": November 20 (Tuesday)-December 1 (Sat)

mizuko201806.JPG

In the first half, photographs taken in the human sphere of life entitled "Sound of Water" will be displayed, and in the second half, photographs taken in a world isolated from the human world will be displayed under the title "Sound of Light".

mizuko201811.JPG

In nature, especially in the previous term, the surprise modeling created by "water" has been cut out brilliantly by a medium of photography, and it is only impressive that you can feel various "water sounds" in the same gallery .

mizuko201810.JPG

I would like to pay tribute to the obsession and concentration of the photographers who spent shooting one on display here.

The excitement that the photographer tried to convey is just a work that really conveys.

mizuko201807.JPG

During the same period, a photo exhibition covering Mizukoshi's life in Lake Kussharo is being held at Digital Lab Papyrus on the third floor. Please take a look at this as well.

mizuko201809.JPG

In this digital lab Papyrus, Photoshop workshops are also held.

In addition, we received special consent for photography in the gallery.

Michael Sowa's New Painting Exhibition [Megumi Ogita Gallery]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] Nov. 8, 2018 09:00

The "Michael Sowa New Painting Exhibition" is currently being held at Megumi Ogita Gallery on the basement floor of the Ginza Otsuka Building, Ginza 2-16-12.

sowa201800.jpg

The period is from Tuesday, November 6 to November 24 (Saturday).

The time is from 11:00 to 19:00 and closed on Sundays, Mondays and holidays.

sowa201801.jpg

Michael Sowa's new painting exhibition will be held for the second time in three years at the gallery.

sowa201802.JPG

The animals drawn in the work are fairy tale, allegory, symbolizing something, satirical, and look long.

sowa201803.JPG

Also, the expression of water (wave) and the expression of light are wonderful.

sowa201804.JPG

Mr. Zover says that the original picture is rarely sold because of the picture that seems to have been completed or the production method that continues to be modified even if it is an original picture announced in the past.

sowa201805.JPG

In addition, since works are sold only to familiar collectors for exhibitions at museums, etc., this time it seems that it is a very valuable exhibition that miraculously obtained the opportunity to exhibit and sell it.

sowa201806.JPG

In the gallery, the doll works of Stephanie Glitz-Zover, Mrs. Zover's wife, are also on display.

The expression of the humorous doll is impressive

Moreover, BGM as if the doll is singing is being played () at the direction of the author.

sowa201807.JPG

In addition, this time, we received special consent about the photography in the gallery, and explained the work and the author.

Thank you very much

Benibana Tokiwamansaku, blooms in autumn.

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] Nov. 6, 2018 14:00

mansak201800.jpg

Benibana Tokiwamansaku is blooming red flowers in the planting space at the base of Tsukiji side of Irifune Bridge.

It's the red on the map above.

mansak201801.JPG

At first, I thought it was a different flower.

I thought that the so-called Japanese witch hazel flowers would bloom from April to May as a spring-telling flower.

mansak201802.JPG

However, according to books, some of them seemed to bloom in autumn, and I was convinced that this characteristic flower was only Japanese witch hazel.

mansak201803.jpg

Tokiwamansaku is an evergreen Odaka tree of the family Tokiwamansaku.

mansak201804.JPG

The color of the flower is very light yellow in the basic species, but the red species, Benivana Tokiwamansaku, is also often cultivated.

mansak201805.jpg

Flowers have four petals like a thin ribbon.

 

 

Red fruit of dogwood on Matsuya Street

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] Nov. 4, 2018 09:00

dogwood, planted along Matsuya Street, has grown a lot of small red fruits this year.

anamiz201801.JPG

dogwood (Hanamizu tree) is a deciduous Takagi of the genus Japanese dogwood subgenus.

anamiz201802.jpg

Among the street trees managed by Chuo-ku, dogwood is said to have 434 trees (as of June 12, 2017), and it is quite common in the Ginza area, including along Matsuya Street.

anamiz201803.JPG

In dogwood, during the pleasant season from April to May, the season when white and pink flowers (actually the bracts that look like petals) bloom, the leaves begin to turn red and red fruits are also good.

anamiz201804.JPG

During the season when there are few flowers, the bright red fruits on the Kimata body are shiny and stand out even if they are small.

anamiz201805.jpg

In dogwood, this red fruit is beautiful, but the leaves are also beautiful.

anamiz201806.jpg
