This year, the event of "Nihonbashi Wash" was also held, hosted by the famous bridge "Nihonbashi Preservation Society". The weather was fine on July 25 (Sun), and as many as 1600 people participated in Nihonbashi Washing with many children. Here's an overview.

At around 11 o'clock, guests and organizers greeted the bridge near the waterfall square.

Prior to washing the bridge, participants threw "EM dumplings" from Nihonbashi all at once in hope of purifying the water quality of the Nihonbashi River. "EM dumplings" are also called environmental dumplings, and are cultivated as mud dumplings of microorganisms that work well for humans and nature, and are especially useful for purifying rivers and the sea. (EM is an abbreviation of Effective Microorganisms, meaning useful microorganisms.)

Next, "Famous Waters from All over Japan" was hung on the "Japan Road Mark" buried in the center of the bridge road.

Finally, the participants started "Nihonbashi Washing", but before that, four watering trucks lined up and watered the bridge road.


Participants then polish the bridge road, sidewalk, balustrade, and pillars with deck brushes and large turtle scourers all at once. The "Japan Road Mark" buried in the center of the bridge was polished neatly on this day.
On the other hand, on the Nihonbashi River, a maritime fire boat from the Tokyo Fire Department, Kiyosu, was dispatched to discharge water to Nihonbashi.

It was a big event "Nihonbashi Wash," which was held by the public and private sectors, led by those who want to value Nihonbashi and those who love Nihonbashi. (In addition, after this, Nihonbashi will be repaired from July 26 to November 19 of this year (2010).)

 

 

Sunday, July 25 "Meeting for Washing Nabashi Nihonbashi" was held.
In 1968, a local volunteer launched the “Nabashi Nihonbashi Washing Association” and this event is held every year with the cooperation of many participants, including preservation associations, local town associations, local companies, and other administrative agencies.
We will temporarily stop road traffic and refine the traditional Nihonbashi area.

　　　　

Adult work is almost over, but the children are still working hard.

It is a real road sign that is in the center of the bridge and cannot be seen, but the children are polishing it well.　　　　　

Elementary school students are washing the nameplate of Nihonbashi with a deck brush under the guidance of an adult on a fire truck lift.　　

　

After finishing, water is discharged to the nameplate of Nihonbashi again.

On the top of Nihonbashi, four water trucks lined up side by side and made two round trips while spraying water on the road.

　　　

Finally, in the center of Nihonbashi, do a "traffic safety prayer" and finish everything.

 

 

You can drink "Asahi Super Dry" extra cold below freezing in Ginza.
On the third day of the three consecutive holidays, it was very hot, but there was a huge line.
Ginza Street, the intersection of 1-chome, next to Diamond Shiraishi.
It seems that it is a limited-time antenna shop until the end of August.

 

I asked the staff on the table.
They use a special server and are now minus 2 degrees.
It seems that you will be able to drink at various shops from now on (*^^ *)

I'm not good at beer, so I only interviewed (^^;

 500ml can take about 5 minutes, and 350ml can take about 3 minutes.

 We did the first course guide of the Tokyo Stock Exchange in the 2010 town walk tour. "The town walking tour is very popular every time because there are many fun courses that are free to participate, and we worked with the people who won several times the magnification.

The course started at 10:00, first watch a video of the Tokyo Stock Exchange for about 20 minutes, then tour the museum with the guidance of the Tokyo Stock Exchange for 30 minutes, and then experience a simulated stock transaction using a personal computer. Finally, I visited the museum. It took about an hour and a half, but I felt it in no time because the contents were so many.

The device where the stock price is rotating often seen on TV is called a ticker, and the more transactions, the faster the speed becomes, and the speed is seven stages. Recently, stock prices have been falling, but on the day of the tour, most brands have risen, and they are spinning at a great speed, so I was almost turning around.

My recommendation is the pseudo trading experience. Start from 10 million (although it is not a real money because it is pseudo), analyze the news that will enter one after another for the two preset brands, and experience how much assets can be increased in 30 minutes by repeatedly buying and selling I can do it. The stock price surges and falls due to the time difference in judgment on how the yen's appreciation and interest rates affect stocks, so I was able to instantly decide the timing of buying and selling, and I enjoyed studying quite a bit.

As a beginner in stock, I was about 300,000 plus, but when it started to rise, it was the end time, so I think that I could expand further in a few minutes, but the best tour participants was 600,000 plus. It's amazing!

The Tokyo Stock Exchange Course of the "Town Walking Tour" will also be held on October 13 (Wednesday), so if you are interested, please apply.

Even if you missed the lottery, many people were able to see it on the day, but if you make a reservation, you will be able to visit the Tokyo Stock Exchange and simulate it, so please check the website of the Tokyo Stock Exchange by all means.

The third row of the ticker is positive for red and negative for yellow. Most of the day was bright red.

 On the screen during the tour, the welcome Chuo-ku Tourism Association "Town Walking Tour" was displayed.

You can lend one personal computer to each person and experience a pseudo transaction for 30 minutes.

At the shop at the entrance, I purchased 250 yen for 4 convenient clips that could be stopped at the corner. 

 

 

"Tsukishima no Kusaichi" is a valuable seasonal market in Tokyo. In the past, there was a city that sold tray supplies such as horoku, ogara, and broom.

 

Now, the road of Tsukishima Nishinaka-dori shopping street is filled with stalls, and both adults and children are looking forward to Kusaichi. This year

It was held for two days on July 10 (Sat) and 11 (Sun), and I introduced it on the first day.

 

 

  

Obon supplies were sold at Hanaki Hanazono. There was also a flyer on how to make a tray. According to that, as shown in the figure in the photo, "Makomo" with offerings is laid, seasonal vegetables and fruits, and ancestors' favorites are offered on "loin leaves", and "Eggplants" and "cucucumbers" are used to form cows and horses that pick up and drop off their ancestors. It is said that the rope of "Makomo rope" is hung with "Hozuki", "Wakame", "Inaho", "Kamanoho", etc. to make a sunshade blind. "Hempara" is fired on the evening of the 13th and 16th to welcome and send ancestors.

 

Songs and dances were performed on a special stage set at the entrance square of the shopping street. Among them, the theme song of the "Tsukishima Monja Festival" scheduled to be held on October 9 and 10 was introduced. The song name is "Dancing, singing, whatever." Misaka Kansaka is singing. It's a very light and fun song. Please support everyone, including the release of CD / DVD on July 28.

 

The stalls are full of nostalgic shops such as goldfish scooping, super bowl scooping, yoyo fishing, shooting, and triangular lottery. Some of them were fortune-telling tents by three sisters. The mothers of the town council were also working hard at the town council shop. Isobeyaki 100 yen, it was delicious.

 

After the grass market, a tray to welcome ancestors began on July 13. On Tsukuda Island, Bon Odori begins in a corner of the town. Bon Odori on Tsukuda Island, which conveys a quiet and deep taste, is also called Buddhist prayer dance.

On July 15 (Thursday), it was the last day of Tsukudajima Bon Odori, and it was only time for children to dance, but I went to the Bon Odori venue on Tsukuda Island. A quiet dance begins around 7:00 pm along with the monotonous songs and drums flowing from the central tower. At first it was about 10 people, but in 30 minutes it became a circle of 100 people. Before dancing, he joined hands on the unrelated Buddha tray in the corner of the square. I hope you will continue to convey the traditional tradition.

 

 

 

　The Paula Museum Annex in Ginza 1-chome always has many women.

I'm sorry for the first time this time.　

 

　Since it starts at 11 o'clock in the morning, in front of the entrance where no one can see yet. It's wonderful.

　

　Information panel of Yoko Kirishima's Antique Story. Admission is free until August 22nd.

 

　After 11:00, the number of intelligent women has increased.

　The panel of "Let's do the exhibition" shows the feelings of the collection and this exhibition.

It is written.

 

　Another panel describes Kirishima's way of life and the life he has followed.

It is described as an antique, but it is a very nice collection.

　A woman who watched Yoko Kirishima's story seriously on a TV monitor and listened to it.

It was very impressive.　The website of the Paula Museum Annex is available.　↓
