Do you know "Goe" (Enju)? "Goes" is a deciduous deciduous Takagi of the legume family, native to China, with yellow-white butterfly-shaped flowers in summer, and later produces a pearl-shaped pod. Buds are raw materials for Chinese herbal medicine [Kojien). It seems that the street trees on Ginza Sotobori-dori St. (Nishi Ginza Street) were previously planted with this Enju.

This time, I would like to introduce a leaf pie with the leaves of this Enju.

"Kaze and Sochi" was founded in 2009 and has its main store in Nishi-Ginza-dori. That's why I made a pie based on Enju, which was originally planted. It is nearly twice as thick as normal leaf pie. According to the shop, "We folded the simple dough of domestic flour and 100% Hokkaido butter and sprinkled organic white sesame as an accent." Many people know that "sweets are in the climate" have recently become popular due to their commitment to materials, and their exposure on TV and magazines is noticeable.

 

There was a map of Ginza street and street trees in the leaf pie box. "When the brick street was completed, pine, maple, cherry blossoms, etc. were planted on the street trees, but soon died, so we planted willows instead, which took root. It disappeared several times due to road renovation and fire, and the current willow is the fourth generation, and most guidebooks found in most guidebooks, so the image of "Ginza street tree = willow" was somehow fixed. In addition to willows, there are many things like dogwood, maple and Magnolia kobus. While walking around Ginza on a daily basis, I didn't care about the street trees only during the cherry blossom season (reflection). It should be warmer every day (?) In the coming season, how about a new way to enjoy "Silver Bra", which takes a walk while looking at the street trees? Even so, I would be glad if you put the name of "Street Tree" next to the name of the street on the map at the information in the city. (Although there are some streets such as Marronnier Street and Yanagi-dori St..) In addition, "Enju" seems to be partly left on Miyuki Street and Sotobori-dori St.

"I'm crying and soaking in the white sand of the shore of Kojima in Tokai,"

"The day when the first love falls away from the sand of the sand mountains,"

Takuboku Ishikawa, a poet and poet from the Meiji era, was born on February 20, 1886 as the eldest son of Soto sect head priest in Mito Village, Iwate Prefecture (now Mito, Tamayama-ku, Morioka City).
Related events such as the "International Takuboku Society" have started last year, but this year, 100 years after his death, it seems that there are many plans again in Hakodate and Kushiro, the neighboring areas.

"Life full of love and turbulence" is also well known, but if you look a little over, you will find it.

― He moved to Tokyo in 1902. With the knowledge of Tetsumi Yosano, he presented a poem to Venus. At the age of 20, he published a collection of virgin poems "A longing". He was attracted attention as a "genius poet", but since then he has traveled all over Hokkaido in search of a job. He moved to Tokyo again in 1941 and worked as a proofreader for the Tokyo Asahi Shimbun in 1942. Published a handful of sand in 1943. A collection of poems written in three lines, rooted in real life, along with "sad toys" published after his death, has immortal life in the history of modern tanka poetry. 45 years old - (from Shincho Japanese Dictionary)

It is well known that Ichikyosuke Kaneda, a linguist who is famous for his hometown research in Ainu language, did not spare financial assistance until he disposed of his collections and household goods, but Takuboku who came to mindless money at the beginning and end seems to be a famous story. He borrowed money and lived a life of indemnity, and it seemed to be like a "plague god" from the surroundings, but after he got a job at the Asahi Shimbun, he became a stable life (even though he was borrowing) However, he was praised for his talent in singing and said to the director of society at the time, "I will give you as much service as possible, so think about ways to do self-development." Speaking of which, in the last year's "Rokude no Takuboku", Takuboku was drawn as a lovable person, even as a living person.

A stone monument created during the Asahi Shimbun era, "Isagashi Fish in Takiyamamachi, Kyobashi" (first appearance Tokyo Asahi Shimbun May 5, 1910 issue) stands on the site of the Asahi Shimbun. . Why don't you think about the short turbulence life of a poet who has been praised for "100 years after death"? By the way, the theme of last year's "International Takuboku Society" was "New Tomorrow, New Takuboku".

poetry monument is Ginza 6-6-7.
In front of the Asahi Building (the San Motoyama is included)
It's on the street.

 

 

The February Daikabuki, which was unveiled by Kantaro Nakamura, the sixth generation Kankuro Nakamura, opened on February 2 yesterday. I went to theater on the second night of the opening day. People, people, people, and people are in front of the entrance to theater because they were crowded and late in the afternoon. The theater staff wearing Nakamuraya's happi is also a big child to organize. I went to the theater while looking at the recommended barrels of piles. It seems that there are 160 favorite "Decorative Ema" on the wall from the front of the lobby entrance. There is a celebration curtain in the theater. It's still the second day, so customers in kimonos are conspicuous and the inside of the hall is gorgeous.

Kantaro, who is named the sixth generation Kankuro this time, is the eldest son of Kansaburo in the 18th generation, and the first stage of "Two Momotaro" in 1987 (1987), is still visible. I feel shy.

I think it will be considerable pressure because his father Kansaburo has grown so much in his first generation and 46 years. By the way, it's a good idea. There was a great applause before the curtain opened. Warm words from the large executives lined up in a row, and Kansaburo, who is humorous and laughing in the name of other actors, is unusually clogged with words like a father. Was.

Mr. Kankuro Shin works as "Shunko Kagami Lion" in the evening section. His great-grandfather Kikugoro Rokusei, his father's grandfather's predecessor, Kanzaburo, his mother's grandfather's grandfather's seventh-generation Shiban, and his father's current Kansaburo (you are a great member again), and as soon as he appeared, he was applauded with the role of the elders, Nakamura, who should be applauded by the third daughter. And his younger brother, Shichinosuke, is the guardian. Usually, the guardian who works for his disciples is handed over props and sweated, and I feel again that he is a really good brother. Beautiful!

It was just Setsubun, so bean-throwing ceremony and Tenugui were scattered, and we were happy to have both GETs. Tenugui was obtained by the new Kankuro-san! !

 

There are a lot of GOODS related to attack names in the shop. Today, I don't have enough time to buy only the commemorative chocolate. When I come to see the daytime section, I would like to slow down the selection of other products. There was a person who bought all kinds of towel handkerchiefs.

In March next month, Heisei Nakamuraza, September Shochikuza, October Gozonoza, December Minamiza will be followed by the attack performance. I hope that he will show you a new Kankuro, which is different from the new Kankuro, who inherits the famous DNA of the Kabuki world, and his father Kankuro. Great applause.

The evening part is "Suzugamori" and "Pisan Grandma", and the daytime part is "Narujin" and "Tsuchigu" (what is a big treat of Kanzaburo, Nizaemon and Yoshiemon! !) "Mt. Kawachi,"

I went to Hiroshi Azuma on a snowy day afternoon, when the exhibition period was approaching, despite the news that it was 30 minutes waiting to enter and 210 minutes in front of "Kiyomei Kamikawazu".
When I saw "0 minutes waiting for admission", I was laughing at the reading, but still waited 180 minutes before "Kiyomei Kamikawazu".
Lane next to the line of "Kiyomei Kamikawa Figure"? Let's look at it and feel only the atmosphere. Even so, this way of mixing is abnormal. "How much did Hiroshi Azuma pay for the rental fee?"

As you can see, the "Kiyomei Kamikawa Figure" is a picture scroll depicting the prosperity of the capital of the opening of the 12C (population: 1.5 million) by Emperor Hui Mune of Kita Soong. 777 people are drawn on a 24cm and 5m picture scroll, and people are about 5mm. I wonder if there was a continuation because it was a sudden end. I think it's said.

Speaking of which, I remembered "Kyodai Shoran". As you may know, this is a reproduction of the underground concourse wall of Mitsukoshimae Subway Station for about 17 meters.
This is a bird's-eye view of Nihonbashi and Imagawa Bridge from the east at the time of the 2nd year of culture (1805), and a clear picture of the townspeople's culture. The original picture is 43.7cm long, 1232.2cm long, and the subway concourse is made 1.4 times more than this. It was produced in 2009 by the Meibashi Nihonbashi Preservation Society and the Nihonbashi Regional Renaissance 100-year Planning Committee.

The original painting is held at the National Museum of Asian Art, Berlin. In 1995, a collector from Berlin deposited it at the museum, and in 1999, a curator confirmed it as a Japanese work. The history of passing to the collector is unknown. According to the materials, it is known that the title is calligrapher Toshu Sano, but it is common to say that the painter is currently unknown and Kyoden Santo, who was also active as a painter under the name of Masanobu Kitao.

"Kyodai Shoran" is thought to be "produced for the purpose of preserving the prosperity of Edo at that time in future generations" in the sense of the scenery that will be the winner of the Kiyo (Kagaya). .

Then, a part of the picture scroll.

There are 1671 people in the picture (Who counted?)
Of these, 200 women, 20 wild dogs, 13 horses, 4 cows, 1 monkey, and 2 hawks. Shoppers, chore selling, Tsujizo, Yomiuri, Buddhist monk, etc. are drawn vividly.
According to the explanation, sushi is sold in the middle of this picture that has a stack of painted steaming baskets.
It's a detailed description so you won't get tired of looking at it.

Unlike the museum, there is no congestion, so you can see it slowly. In addition, there is no admission fee. Why don't you go back in time to the town of Edo, where Edo culture was the most mature, and play for a while?

Location: In the underground concourse of Mitsukoshimae Station
