It is not uncommon for paintings to be displayed in the hospital, but there are two galleries in St. Luke International Hospital, proposed by Dr. Hinohara.

I went to Shinji Yamagami's "Fun Illustration Exhibition of Animals, etc." held at the first gallery.

Mr. Yamagami says that he also has a rakugo party under the name of the Koza, "Sancho Tepanza", with valet Sancho Pansa appearing in Don Quijote.

It is a fun illustration exhibition according to the title, where you can get a glimpse of such an atmosphere everywhere.

The illustrations of the deformed humorous animals are accompanied by a wit-rich sentence, and they are unintentionally stuck or bitterly laughing.

When I noticed, there was a person who was in front of the work.

The picture frame of the work on display is wooden, handmade by Mr. Yamagami himself, whose slightly rugged and rugged feeling creates a unique warmth.

You said, "I'm told only about the picture frame," but it's probably because Mr. Yamagami's warm and wit-rich unique work and the atmosphere are perfect.

In addition, T-shirts and postcards were sold, so I bought a set of postcards called "I'm just a cat."

I also liked the postcard sentence and illustration of "I'm fine" in this, so I'd like to send it to my friend immediately.

The other day, Ginzo was also introduced, but the Tsukiji Lion Festival, a festival at Tsukiji's Namiwa Inari Shrine, will be held from June 6 to 10.

On the 8th, there will be a tour of the portable shrine Sennuki and the Lion.

Since it is not the main festival, the other lion is closed, but I think it will be wonderful if the "Senuki portable shrine" and "Otoguro Lion", where the shrine is held in one hour, are divided into two directions and wrapped around a uzu.

And the 7th during this festival is the annual "Nichikaichi" of Tsukiji Outer Market.

At the out-of-market information center "Platto Tsukiji", the lanterns of the festival are also displayed and the mood is quite exciting, but on the day of Nanikaichi, a lottery is held at this venue with a receipt of more than 2,000 yen, and the prize is the liquor used as the sacred wine of Haji Shrine.

The name is also this liquor named "Wazori", which is not for sale normally.

Recently, it is an out-of-office market where many people come by sightseeing bus or from abroad can see, but this weekend will be even more crowded than usual.
