At the mouth of the Sumida River, "Ring Route 2 Sumida River Bridge (tentative name)" was born.

 Recently, you can see a new bridge downstream of Kachidokibashi.

 It is colored with a silver lineage, and the contrast with the blue color of the water surface is wonderful.

 The Shiodome skyscraper is also beautiful in the distance.

 It was recently bridged as an extension of this bridge, Loop Route 2.

 It seems that the opening is still ahead, but it is wonderful with a silhouette that is very similar to Kachidokibashi that I have so far.

 

 Construction of Loop Route 2 (MacArthur Road) is underway at a rapid pace from Ariake, Koto-ku to Shin Toyosu (wholesale market is under construction), Toyosu Ohashi, and Kachidoki, Chuo-ku.

 Then cross the new bridge and connect from Tsukiji Market to Hamarikyu, and to Shimbashi, Toranomon, and Tameike.

 

It may be fun to take a walk while watching the changing Route 2 for the summer.

   ・・・ We are currently recruiting names for this bridge. ・・・

Application method is written on page 3 of "News of Ward" issued on April 21. The deadline is May 20th.

The Tokyo Art Antique Art Festival is very fun.

[kimitaku] May 3, 2014 18:00

From Thursday, April 24 to 26 (Sat)

"Tokyo Art Antique Nihonbashi Kyobashi Art Antique Festival" was held.

DSC_0041-1.jpgDSC_0039-1.jpgHigashi-dori in Nihonbashi and Kyobashi is home to art shops and antique shops, and it is always crowded with many customers.

 

 It is a unique art densely populated area that pours into Ginza with 150 stores.

 Usually, artworks and antique shops with high thresholds could be easily entered on this day only, and it was full of many customers.

 Inside the shop, you can actually appreciate the hanging scroll by Kourin Ogata, the praise of Sotatsu Tawaraya, and the wood carving of Denchu Hirakushi in front of you, and you are overwhelmed by the realism.

 In addition, each owner will carefully explain each item.

I was able to enjoy a sense of realism different from the museum.

The dyeing of the photo and the maki-e jujube are from Kasugai, an antique art in front of Tokyo Square Garden.

 The owner is a friendly person. I asked you to feel free to ask, and I studied a lot for a long time. 

 If you carry "2014 Pasuport", the conversation with the owner will be smooth. I have a very fun conversation.

 The barrel on the far right is a tub of "Tarugen" in Kyoto, which is used for yudofu. The round tub is a bargain that is hard to see.
