The world's mysterious animal exhibition created by the University of the Arts is being held at the Central Hall on the first floor of the Mitsukoshi Nihonbashi Main Store.

Animals don't move. About 20 animals (?) Yes.

But all people passing by the strangeness of the material they made are surprised.

It reminds me of infinite ideas, playfulness, and his childhood when he was in elementary school.
Well, let's take a look at it. 

 

A large dragonfly, a large scarlet dragonfly standing in the sea world of "Naushika in the Valley of the Wind". 

If you look closely, the feathers are thin sliced rings of colorful straws.

This is an australia bird with beautiful feathers?　

The feathers are shavings that come out with pencil sharpening.

This is Hawk, a hawk made of plastic knife. Hawk of knife。

Almaziro. It's good, isn't it?

If you look closely at the shell, small eyes (moving black eyes) gather, and when you shake, the small black eyes move.

This is paper peacock (paper peacock).

It is made of paper (weekly Shonen Jump).

 This year, the Tsukiji Honganji Noryo Bon Dance Festival, which celebrated its 64th anniversary for four days from Wednesday, August 3 to 6 (Sat), with the theme of supporting the reconstruction of East Japan affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake and saving electricity through private power generation It was held.
On the first day, a memorial service for Great East Japan Earthquake was held, followed by a lively Tsukiji Bon Dance Festival. That's good!　It's a summer tradition.

This year, it is said that it is a “private power generation Bon Dance Festival”, which uses a private power generator to supply power during the period to save power.

The three major Bon Odori dances in Tokyo are said to be the Yasukuni Shrine Mitama Festival, the Tsukiji Honganji Noriyo Bon Dance Festival, and the Oedo Festival Bon Dance Festival hosted by Chuo Ward. I wonder if it's because it's large and large.

 A lot of Bon Odori songs are played on the Oedo Sukeroku Taiko and the drum sounds.

Local Ondo "Tsukiji Ondo", Chuo-ku "This is Edo Bon Dance", "Tokyo Ondo", "Coal Mine", "Home Run Ondo", "Yukata Ondo", "Sunny Japan", "Horin Ondo" and "Oedo Sukeroku Ondo".

The moderator on the tower also introduced eco bags to support the affected areas and charity women's professional wrestling scheduled to be held on August 20.

Approximately 10 stores, including foxes (motsu stew), Torito (yakitori), and Shoro (egg-yaki), are opened from the famous store association of Tsukiji Outer Market. There are plenty of delicious flavors that can only be eaten here!　It seems that he claims to be the most delicious Bon Odori in Japan.

Then, there was also a “Tsukiji Smile Plaza” event, and there was also a food and drink corner using ingredients from the stricken area, which was crowded with many customers.

There was also a corner where small children could get souvenirs by playing WII quoits. If you look at the picture, the adults around you are more serious!

"Tsukiji Smile Plaza" is held once a month on Saturdays and Sundays, utilizing the precincts of Tsukiji Honganji Temple, Namiki-dori B Building Plaza and its surroundings.

   Let's cheer up so that those affected by the Great East Japan Earthquake can return "smiles" as soon as possible! Under the slogan "From Tsukiji", charity events for reconstruction assistance, eating and drinking, and merchandise sales were being held at Tsukiji Smile Plaza. .
