The cherry blossoms at the base of Nihonbashi bloom in seven minutes at their best, and it is a unique scenery of this season that you can see digital cameras and authentic tripods here and there. At the Mitsukoshi Nihonbashi Main Store, the annual "Spring House Exhibition" has begun on the 25th.

This exhibition, which began in 1945, has already been held 70 times. This is a large exhibition of 340 works, including 306 selected works and 34 works by doujin teachers. Although I enter with the thought of "watching only the works of the teachers", my feet still stop in front of a work that says "first selection". The captions of the works of the fellow teachers are reprinted.

"I found it. It's a seasonal treasure "(Yuji Tezuka's "Rei Aki") and it's fun to read it as you can hear the live voice of the writer. There are exhibits such as "rock paints" and "brushes" in the venue, and it is interesting to compare the natural ones of "rock paints" and artificial ones written as "new rock" side by side. I've done it. At the last 3rd venue, a cover picture of the work catalog from the 35th exhibition is displayed. I saw the name of the late writer and looked at it nostalgically and interestingly.

I was lying on the 4th floor.

To Miyakoshiya Coffee Shop. Sapporo is the main store, but it is completely rooted in Nihonbashi. The photo shows today's cake set. One of the pleasures is to recall "this was good" while looking at the list of works exhibited in one hand of coffee. Please take a look at "Japanese painting's Now" as a cherry blossom viewing in Nihonbashi.

"Spring-in Exhibition" will be held at Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store until April 6th. Main Building and New Building 7F Gallery

Entrance fee General 800 yen 10:00 to 18:30 (until 17:00 on the last day)

On the third day of the exhibition, Mr. It was during the daytime on Weekday Day, so I went out assuming it wasn't too crowded, but it was off. It is lined up near the entrance. It's a complicated feeling that it's nice to be popular and it's too crowded.

Tasha Tuder (1915-2008), a picture book writer who enjoyed gardening in the mountains of Vermont, the United States and continued his creative activities until his death at the age of 92. What became well known in Japan

After all, it was introduced on NHK's program. After raising children, a self-sufficient simple lifestyle that handmade most of everyday life in the countryside surrounded by vast nature has a `` longing '' for modern people who tend to lose comfort in their daily lives I think it was held. Especially for middle-aged and older women who love gardening, there are many enthusiastic fans and the venue is full of such women.

The venue used tableware and furniture, gardening goods, original drawings of dresses and picture books, doll houses and dolls, etc. I found a bottle of champagne and Bobkurico about 5 cm in the cupboard of the doll house, and raised my voice unintentionally. It's just like the real thing.

"The modern people are too busy. Sit on the locking chair in the evening porch and listen to dusky thrush's clear voice while drinking chamomile Tay. Everyday life will be more fun." (Tasha's words)    "I'm longing." This time. It's one day.

The restaurant "My" chain, which offers high-quality dishes at a reasonable price by chefs who were active in the top restaurants, is like "My French", "My Italian", "My Kappo cuisine", and "My Yakiniku", which opened near Kabukiza, was also worried about this "My Yangtze River", but it was not easy to make reservations for the popular shops like other shops. More than half a year has passed since the opening in June last year, and I've finally come to see if it's time.

Because it's a week day, the reservation is easy, and it's Chinese, so I'd like to have many kinds today. 4 people.

When you enter the narrow stairs underground, "Oh! It's wide." That's right. It is the largest 117 seats in the "My" chain, not the "standing drinking style", which is a feature of "my" chain, but all seated style shops. (It seems that there was also standing drinking at the beginning of the opening. There is no "narrow table" where the seats we were guided are spacious and the dishes protruding. First of all, follow the instructions to order from "Today's Limited Menu", order some and finally ask for dessert "broth powder" and "I'm sorry, today's number has been sold out!" 。 "Eh!" I'm sorry. First of all, toast with "My champagne". It's just like the edge of the glass. If you pour it into 4 people, one is empty.

"Raku spring rolls", "Kogobaba", "Soft Sher Club", "Beijing Duck", "Abalone and Fokahire", "Pork fin loquat black vinegar sauce", "Vegetable salad", "Fried rice" (I feel like I received a little more . ・・・）

Shaoxing sake is also available for 5,600 yen per person (table charge is @ 300 yen). It was a satisfying lunch. In front of the Beijing Duck service, the whole baked Beijing Duck "see" between the tables and entertain customers with staff cut performance at the central table. It seems that it has become easier to make reservations, so it's recommended for those who say "I'm worried." At night, depending on the day of the week, you can listen to jazz and classical performances live.

The March Kabuki "Sugawara Densho Handbook" is a popular one based on the Dazaifu style of Sugawara no Michizanekyogen, known as one of the three major Kabuki masterpieces, saying, "I recommend that people with heart be busy."

In many cases, each stage of the famous scenes is performed independently, but this time it was performed day and night, and it was the first time in Kabukiza in 13 years. Men are unusually noticeable in the full seats. Jojo Suga is played by Nizaemon, the leading role, and young people are the main stage. There is no time to breathe from "Kamo Tsutsumi", which is the beginning of the incident, "Brush teaching" and "Domyoji", but Taro Tachibana of Kiyo left Nakaben and Ainosuke in his house laugh. A friend of the bank says, "I'm going to be a fan of Nizaemon!" Genzo Takebe in the daytime section is Somegoro, Matsu Midori in the nighttime section "Terakoya", Tonami in the daytime section is Umeeda, and I am looking forward to the actors who play with Ichitaro at night. I recommend that you take a look at the stage of "Even if it will be passed down to someone else, so much Jojo Suga will not be able to see it now" (Nikkei drama review).

In the evening, "Kurubiki", "Kaga no Celebration", and "Terakoya" Senakiraku are on the 27th. For inquiries, please contact Ticket Hon Shochiku
