It is very rare in St. Luke's International Hospital, but there are two galleries in the sense of therapy to patients proposed by Dr. Shigeaki Hinohara.

In addition to paintings such as pastel paintings, there are a number of works that heal people's hearts, such as handmade accessories and handicrafts such as accessories.

 

The first gallery next to the cafeteria on the first floor will be held from August 4 (Mon) to 9 (Sat).

"Seki Bunno Bag & Pouch Festival" will be held.

　

Seki's parents' house is Minori, a bag shop that used to be located in Ginza 7-chome.

The shop has closed its 98-year history and is currently selling online as a "Minori" brand, but she grew up on the top floor of a shop just on Ginza Street.

In the past, it was a multi-purpose house, so there were quite a few people who actually lived in the middle of Ginza, and she is such a genuine "Ginza kid".

 　

Seki, who studied design at Joshibi University of Art and Design and Tokyo University of the Arts Graduate School, began to be interested in cloth and dyeing while at school, and this time he was entrusted with a large amount of dyeing samples from a dye shop introduced by an acquaintance. For this reason, we decided to hold a "bag & pouch festival" with original bags with a taste of "wa" full of Edo atmosphere.

 

There are obstetrics in the hospital, so cute items for small children are also available.

Also, depending on the color and pattern, there are some items that can be used stylishly by men.

 

Speaking of me, when I was young, the kimono became flashy and couldn't wear it, but I couldn't dispose of it because I had memories, and when I consulted Seki about what to do, the kimono was a parasol and the haori was a small bag I made it back.

　

 

At that time, Mr. Seki said, "If you face the cloth carefully, the cloth will tell you what to do in the meantime."

In this guide, it was written that "I made the encounter between the sensibility and cloth cultivated in Ginza", but as the words implies, I think that a wonderful world of works will be unfolded.

The west side of Ginza 1-chome is a very fun area to walk, with many antenna shops lined up in Hiroshima, Yamagata, Okinawa, Kochi, Ibaraki, Fukui, etc.

 

The other day, when I entered Ginza Brick Street from Sakura-dori St., I heard the lively music of Awa Odori.

When I thought something, I found a shop called Tokushima antenna shop "Emon Ade Tokushima".

It was said that the oven was opened in December last year, and local sake is lined up in the store, along with specialty products such as sweets, bamboo chikuwa, bare noodles, dried potatoes, etc. .

 

 

It's not so wide, but I've noticed something that looks delicious, but for the time being, I bought a popular item "Katsuten", which makes fish surimi like a cutlet.

When I was paying, the person who seemed to be a salaried worker in the neighborhood bought "Wa no Somen chips" and told me, "This is delicious and it's addictive."

That's why I bought this chips together.

It seems that "Katsuten" can be fried with vegetables, but when heated with an oven toaster, it feels like a crispy and crispy ham.

It's a bit spicy, so it's perfect for beer.

Similarly, the noodles are also spicy and don't stop eating.

 

The place is an alley a little from a big street, but it is likely to be an indispensable shop for visiting antenna shops in the future.

 

 

I often see recent subway stations incorporating designs related to the local specialties and history into their premises and platforms.

Whether you are commuting on a crowded train full of gyugy, or if you are sightseeing from afar, looking at such things, you may be able to take a break.

 

As the name implies, Tsukiji Market Station on the Oedo Line is right up the stairs of the station, and the Asahi Shimbun Tokyo Head Office, Cancer Center, and unexpectedly Shimbashi Enbujo are also very close.

 

If you enter the ticket gate, you want to convey the essence of Edo culture to the present, and there is a mural of folding screen paintings of four songs reproduced with art ceramic plates under the supervision of Japanese painter Tamako Kataoka.

　

The right is "Kunisada Kaiyo Toyokuni", and the left is "Ukiyo-e artist Shunsho Katsukawa".

　

All of them are wonderful, recreating the stylish appearance of the time.

"Kunisada Reform, Toyokuni Midai,"

When I go to Ryogoku, where the Edo Tokyo Museum is located, I often use this station, but every time I pass in front of this, I stop my feet.
