"Yoyuki Exhibition"-The trajectory of creative dolls-was started in Matsuya Ginza on the 21st of the triumphal Paris and umbrella Kotobuki Memorial. Following the success of the exhibition in Paris for the first time in 12 years, this exhibition, which is the first time in eight years in Tokyo, says, "This time, from overseas stories such as early Cinderella and Peter Pan, the theme of Japanese nostalgia We will exhibit about 150 works, including 70 new works, including hymns for children living in "now". " (From the exhibition guide). The doll created by Yuuki Yo, who is popular not only in Japan but also around the world, is not just a doll, but a creature with a soul. Visitors look very carefully one by one, so the line does not go easily. I decided to go on the reverse course. The last waited was Takeshi Beat entitled "Oira" and Joji of "Tokoro-san". It's just like I'm talking to you. I can't get tired of seeing the expressions of the children playing soccer. You can see the gentle gaze of Yoyuki. Children in the Taisho era and early Showa eras sitting in front of snacks also heard voices from the venue saying, "I miss kimonos."

At the entrance, Mr. Yukiyo's words, "I think dolls have a doll's life."

What will the future life of the dolls that have been blown into Yoyuki?

When I went out of the venue, I saw the sign of "Kagura Sakaki no Zen". There's an eat-in corner. It was a "regular holiday" when I went out once because it was a famous sweet shop. This is the first time. I went in immediately and made it "Kuzumochi" because I was worried. The people around me enjoy the most famous "Anmitsu". When you leave the shop, the next door is Tsutsui in Shinkawa. Oh! There was also an omurice! I shouldn't have been surprised at this. In addition, next to the store is "Cafe Paulista", the birthplace of "Gin Bra".

Of course, the exhibition is also available, but the eat-in corner cannot be removed. It seems that the shop will change in the first and second half of the exhibition, so I have to come again. The first half is until the 27th.

"Takatama Combi" (Nizaemon's Takao era), which caused a major Kabuki boom in the 1950s, but recently, if there were few co-stars and I was sorry that "it became a legendary stage", I was very excited when this month's performance was announced following last month's "7th Dan" because of the voice of the fan. "Osomekumatsu color reading" is known to be replaced by seven actors who play dyeing as "the Seven Roles of Osome", but this time only "Poroya no Ba" and "Aburaya no Ba". Gyozaburo's bank sixth, Nizaemon's Kibei couple of unlucky direction came up with a corpse that hit the puffer fish, but the corpse revived and the two who failed to make a strong contract carry a palanquin and pull the flower path . According to Shochiku's announcement, the performance in this combination was the first time in 41 years since 1977. The next "Kanda Festival" is also a two Tobito and a geisha, and it has been a long time. A young friend from Nara who came from Nara was deeply moved by the revival of the beautiful famous combination. I was sighing that I would like to perform consecutive performances of the North and South things that were revived at that time. The last is "Taki no Shiraito" written by Kyoka Izumi. It is a performance that is often performed in the new school, but it seems to be the first in Kabukiza since 1981. Ichitaro and Matsuya will play the Shiraito of the waterfall and Kinya Murakoshi for the first time in the direction of Tamasaburo. In the water arts scene, I don't know where water really comes out, so I applauded. Let me hear Kinya's line in the court.

In the afternoon, Ainosuke plays Wa Tonai. Shiseijakuemon 7th anniversary memorial service "Gender Dojo-ji Temple" is a "Shibahama leather wallet" that turns Shiban's rakugo Shibahama into Kabuki.

For inquiries on the 27th, please contact Ticket Hon Shochiku 0570-000-489.

We had nearly an hour before the next schedule. Here, Hyatt St Rick Ginza, thought of tea somewhere, came to my eyes. I was worried because it just opened on January 22, but I didn't have a chance to take a look. Bar & Lounge NAMIKI667 is located on the 3rd floor. By the way, the 4th floor is the front desk. I was alone, but I was guided to a spacious table on the window side. My eyes are Namiki-dori St. The name of this lounge, NAMIKI667, as you can see, is that the hotel is located at 6-6-7 on Namiki-dori St. Of course there is alcohol, but soft drinks are also abundant. I'm going to have coffee first. When I read it, the outside was dim, and the table lights were placed without notice at all. This casualty, the timing of the replacement of coffee, is it a hotel service? I'm worried about it. It was 800 yen for coffee and 994 yen for service and consumption tax.

On February 26, the day after the 100th anniversary of Kabuki in February On February 26, the 6th generation Enjudayu Kiyomoto's 33rd anniversary, the 7th generation Enjudayu Kiyomoto's 30th anniversary celebration There was a performance by Kiyomoto Seiju and Eijudayu Kiyomoto, the seventh generation. In the morning section, there are luxurious performances such as "Sukeroku Karin Chrysanthemum", in the evening section, "Yoshiwara Jaku" by Kankuro Nakamura and Shichinosuke, "Festival" by Kikunosuke Nizaemon "Hona". Line up. In "Kougami", when the greeting from Kikugoro began, Mr. Enju Tayu was tearful, and when Mr. Saiju's greeting, he was able to use handkerchiefs, and the joy was transmitted to the audience. The warm gaze of Kikugoro lined up next to me was impressive.

Taiyu Kotobuki, the seventh generation, is Ukon Onoe, a young popular Kabuki actor who everyone knows. Kikugoro's greeting, "The two-sword style is a hot topic in baseball recently ...", but according to his interview article, "It's neither a two-sword style nor a two-sword style . The marriage partner is Kabuki, Kiyoharu is a family." However, I think it will be difficult to balance, but as a fan, I hope that both will do their best.

While being overwhelmed by the number of people who support the Tokyo Marathon, I came across this exhibition when I was walking around Brabra from Nihonbashi to Ginza with tea. In a historical novel I read before, there was a scene where a merchant who was in a fire `` put a long string in the Daifuku book and throws it into a well '', and the line at that time was `` This is made of Mito's Nishinouchi Washi, so it gets wet in water Even if it gets wet, it will be normal if it dries without scattering ink. " According to the explanation of the venue, the name "Nishinouchi Washi" was Mitsukuni Mito, which had been produced in the Nishinouchi region of Ibaraki Prefecture since ancient times became the Mito Domain, and the size was determined, inspected and sold exclusively for the Mito Domain. It was shipped to Edo and became one of the funding sources of the Mito Domain. The raw material is Nasu Kozo, according to the pamphlet, "Kozo is produced in various parts of Japan, but what can be made in the Okukuji region is the highest Takashina in Japan." In this exhibition, paper maker Kinya Koyama made Japanese paper made by papermaking craftsman Masaki Kikuchi into works such as "paper cloth" and tapestry. There are also works like contemporary art named cushions, Japanese shop curtain, Kamiko, and "Aerial Floating". Is this paper depending on the work? There were some things that seemed to me, and I liked Japanese shop curtain, which looked like a folding screen, the windows opened in two places were bright and can be folded, and the wind could not enter, so I could have an instant tea room. A part of the room quickly turns into an independent tea room! It seems good to make a summer zone with `` paper cloth '', and those who can not buy silk and cotton in the Edo period seemed to have put cotton and straw in `` paper cloth '' and used it as winter clothes and gamets, so it is durable Things and warmth are guaranteed. Traditional Japanese crafts combine practicality and beauty, and I feel that it is really amazing. On Saturdays and Sundays, there will be a workshop for the first 10 people.
