After the middle of May, the number of days of sweating increased. It's also a time to get lost in what to wear, "Is it okay to wear a single coat today?" It's almost time to change clothes. I found a stain in order to clear the line. I usually ask a kimono shop, but this time I decided to visit the "Everyoneya" I found during the walk. I'm going to have a little bit.

At present, June 1 and October 1 are generally designated as "clothing change", but it was originally a custom that began with the Imperial Palace event called "changing" in the Heian period. At that time, the days of April and October were changed from winter costumes to summer costumes (the opposite in October) as the day of changing clothes. This event was limited to the palace, but in the Edo period, the spread of cotton diversified due to the spread of cotton, and the Shogunate set a day for changing clothes four times a year for samurai, and this custom later penetrated among the common people It is said that spring and autumn are lined up, summer mailers, and winter cotton (from "Japanese calendar and annual events").

The word "Shikkai" (Shikkai) gives the impression of "Shikkai Seibutsu" from the character side, but "Everyoneya" is, as the name implies, "Shikkai" (everything) related to kimono (staining, washing, dyeing, etc.). It is listed in the late Edo period folk magazine "Keihan's style in Edo" in "Keiden's style".

"Ogiya" I visited this time is a long-established store that was founded in Yotsuya in 1898 and moved to Tsukuda in 1936 and has been operating for more than 100 years. Staining, washing, dyeing, re tailoring, and anything related to kimono is OK. The price list is also posted on the website, and you can ask for an estimate by e-mail, so it is safe for the first time. A "staining classroom" is also held, and it seems that simple staining can be done at home.

If the size or color of the kimono or obi you receive is "a little", why not consult us? I'm looking forward to reviving the "Kimono" sleeping in the chest.

The evening of theater in May is "Tsubaki theory Yumiharitsuki" after a long time.

As you know, Yukio Mishima wrote a Kabuki script for the original work of Makoto, and at the premiere at the National Theater in 1969, it became a hot topic by directing himself. In Mishima's last Kabuki script, Tamasaburo was also selected as Shirasuhime at this time, and became famous at once. After that, it was performed only twice, and last time at the Kabukiza Theater in 2002, at this time, Sarunosuke fell ill one year later. This time, the role played by Somegoro, his grandfather's white parrot, and his father's Koshiro. Shichinosuke, who plays Shirasuhime, and two are a great struggle with the daytime part of Heisei Nakamuraza and a hanging appearance this month.

It is a play of less than 4 hours through the volume of Kaminakashita, but large spectacles, crow tengu, wild boars, Hakuba, half-naked Mutota are blamed by the women at the order of Hakuseihime. I don't get tired of the feeling of Mishima preference anyway, such as the cruel scenes where huge boats and monster fish appear. Last time, Danjiro, who was on sale to Tamasaburo's white sewing princess, was thrilled to flow blood from the body where he was drunk (I don't have much taste). I remembered it just in case. You can't do an actor with extravagance. The firewood car this time seemed to be training quite a bit and there was no extravagant (envy!) 。 The "Wavemaku", which is very active in the ocean scene, was clearly seen in the front seat where the blood tide fluttered in the scene where Taro Takama committed suicide. It's amazing. "Oh!" with my neighbor.

The daytime section is "Saigo and Porkhime", "Autumn Leaves Hunting" and "Women's Armed Hell" and "Chiraku Aki on the 25th. Please take a look at the stage of the young Hanagata actor's great success following April.

"Do you like rakugo?" I'm a new fan of 3 years ago. My favorite storyteller was also created, and I gradually understood the fun. Would you like to go to the shop or the place where the characters appeared in the story after listening several times? The perfect course for such people is "The World of Edo Tokyo Enjoying Masterpiece Rakugo" (Chuo Kumin College Waseda Collaborative Course). The first one is May 11, "Wealth of the inn and Ningyocho". After the lecturer explained about Bakurocho, where the inn was the stage of the story, Sugimori Shrine where the lottery was held, and the lottery performance, DVD of "Yukuya no Tomi" (recorded in 1994) played by Shincho. Watch. While listening to the morning with a good tempo, one-third is in a dream because of the synergistic effect of darkening the room and the time difference that does not yet come out is attacked by a fierce sleeper! (Lecturer, I'm sorry Mr. Shin Asa) "Sukuya no Tomi" is a well-known story in rakugo, but according to the explanation, "Originally above, Kosan moved to Tokyo with a story such as" Takatsu no Tomi ". Therefore, the place is also from Takatsu Shrine to Sugimori Shrine. "I'm performing at Yushima Tenjin in the morning." Let's go to the stage right away.

There are a lot of flags on the way to Sugimori Shrine. It was Reitaisai festival's day.

I met portable shrine. Sugimori Shrine is said to have been founded during the Heian period, and in the Edo period it was counted as one of Edo Mimori along with Kasumori and Yanagimori, and attracted the religion of people. It is also famous as a place for lottery performances that became popular in the Edo period, and often appears in period novels. Edo's lottery is the market price each minute and usually 100 first-class cars. It is said that it was often purchased jointly because it was expensive for the common people (100,000 yen per car is 25,000 yen). A monument of "Tomizuka" is built at Sugimori Shrine.
