　The Tokyo Shimbashi Association has been doing good things for many years.

I think it's great not to disclose it for a long time.　

One of them is

Mr. Fujino visited Chuo-ku and donated 120 tickets to the Higashi-dori every year to the Chuo-ku Japan National Council of Social Welfare, saying that he would like to invite elderly people in the city to the Higashi-dori. That is.　This invitation started in 1996 and is said to be the 16th this year.

And there are a lot of things that have not yet been released, but I heard last week.

Shingo Okasoe of the Tokyo Shimbashi Association said that when holding this east dance, they decided something message and talked with everyone to send it out.

Five years ago, on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the birth of Shinbashi Hanayanagikai (the year when Kazusa was allowed to take into account), the first act of enjoying the original dance and enjoying the original dance. The concept is to be renewed, and Shimbashi Enbujo is regarded as a large restaurant, and the first act is to enjoy the original dance.

And for the fifth time, this year, the first year since Mr. Oka was appointed president, was affected by the earthquake.

"Since support is provided in many places, we are living in culture, so we would like to directly support our peers who are difficult to donate in Tohoku." For that purpose,

"I want people who are bright, beautiful, and come to enjoy dancing, eating, and drinking, and so on. The content is filled with a wish.

　For food and enjoyment of sake, donperinon, Japanese sake appetizers, and "Shinbashi Kask" are described on the website of the information.

　
What is not open to the public is a donation activity in the part where Shimbashi Enbujo is tailored to a large restaurant during the beautiful dance intermission in the east.

　For friends who can no longer participate this time, sake from the brewery of Shichikura from Tohoku is set on the second floor of Shimbashi Enbujo, and rice from Tohoku, Honda of Aizu Wakamatsu has been reduced pesticide rice "Ujigo-Ujisato-", cooked rice (Kanada Naka), red Tokyo salmon tea and soft kelp (Kanada Naka), according to it. We sell miscellaneous fish, Sanshoni (Yonemura).　　And we would like to send 10% of the proceeds to the Tohoku cuisine association through a Tohoku restaurant called Orient-kan.　This connects our town "Shimbashi" and Tohoku.　He said that he wanted to cherish this bond.　

I'm really going down.

　By all means, please visit Shimbashi Enbujo and enjoy beautiful dance, delicious food, and delicious sake.

The event was held at Harumi Triton Square from May 20 (Fri) to 22 (Sun).

I went to the Harukko Festival.

There are plenty of recycling markets and workshops.

At the Umaimon booth, Noto grilled oysters, North Sea Sazae boiled, and

Yamada Ranch meat skewers (extra size!) While eating

I saw a father drinking a drink.

In the corner of fair, you can see the children holding 100 yen.

Everyone's eyes are shining brightly.

I always keep my child's heart in every age.

On the special stage, it will be a sweet precure show on this day.

I saw a lot of girls dressed cutely.

It was a windy day.

It was a very enjoyable event because there were many events for the family.

From the end of February to the beginning of March this year, the Tsukishima Library Collection Exhibition was held at the Tsukishima Library, displaying materials from cultural people who are related to Tsukuda and Tsukishima. Some of them are still on display in the library, so if you missed this exhibition, please come and visit us.

By the way, Shigeru Mizuki, the creator of the mouse man drawn on this colored paper, once lived in Tsukishima (currently Kachidoki 5-chome).

I also borrowed and read Tsukudajima Futari Shobo by Tatsuro Dekune, a used bookstore in Tsukishima, Bungado, and worked at the Tsukishima Library.

It seems that this mini-exhibition can be seen for a while even in June. Please contact the Tsukishima Library (03-3532-4391) for the exact exhibition period. Nevertheless, thanks to the Tsukishima Library, I have read various books related to Tsukuda and Tsukishima. Thank you very much for your continued support!

The 87th "East Odori"　

It will be held for 4 days from May 27 to 30 (Mon).

The posters of the guide are often noticeable in Ginza and Tsukiji, so I think everyone knows well.

If you look at the website, you can see that the Tokyo Shimbashi Association East Festival and the Tokyo Shimbashi Association consists of a restaurant club and a geisha club.　I thought it. The union is located in Ginza 8-chome.

　Oh!　I don't know!　I would like to investigate this, so I asked the Chuo-ku Tourism Association to arrange it.

Mr. Shingo Okazoe, President of the Tokyo Shimbashi Association.

I visited a restaurant, Mr. Kanadanaka.

Looking at the Q & A I prepared, it's too neatly organized.　For an hour and a half, he was able to talk about the spirit of enterprising from the history of the origin of Shimbashi Geisha to the days of hardships.　

Then, from the history section

　It is well known that the absences of each clan, who were packed in Edo in sankin kotai during the Edo period, played and drank at restaurants in the name of information exchange.

According to the explanation board of the ruins of the Kinharu Yashiki, "There are Yotsuya of Kinharu, Kanze, Hosho, and Kongo as Noh actors directly under the Shogunate, and the Kinharu family worshiped the mansion in 1627 (1627). Later, the mansion moved to Kojimachi, but geisha gathered on the site and developed as a flower district. "　When I asked this story, Mr. Okazoe told me the detailed roots from there.

―――He lent the home area given by Mr. Kinharu Tayu to a performing arts teacher, and since the teachers had many beautiful women, they were called to welcome and welcome the daimyo residence.　Mr. Tokiwazu Mojiwasa of Kinharu Performing Arts Village, got permission to take care of the elderly in Edo shogunate at the time, and performed the arts, which was the basis for the Hanayanagi world. Was.―――

　late Tokugawa shogunate, the young samurai who came from the West with the rejection of the Emperor, were not treated at the finest Yanagibashi at the time, but Shimbashi Geisha warmly welcomed him.

As a result, in the early Meiji era, Yanagibashi, which inherited the culture of Edo, Shimbashi, the emerging city Shimbashi, and the Shimbashi Hanayanagi world developed before it was called Shinryu Nikyo, but also secret stories were introduced here Was.

―――When the Tokaido Line opened to Nagoya, Kaoru Inoue from the Choshu clan, who served as an old man, Foreign Minister of Foreign Affairs, Minister of Agriculture and Commerce, Minister of Home Affairs, etc. of the Meiji era, borrowed a train from Shimbashi Station to Nagoya Station and invited Shimbashi Geisha to the Hanayanagi world in Nagoya to perform a dance there.　At that time, Nagoya seemed to have been very active in both business and performing arts since the promotion of Owari weather in fighting with Yatsushiro Shogun Yoshimune.　

Unfortunately, the dance of Shimbashi Geisha at this time was not well-received in Nagoya, and told geisha, Nagoya, "When I heard from far away from Tokyo, I thought it would be pretty beautiful, but it was never big if I saw it nearby.　It was as if he was abused as "Gifu lantern" and was shameful and felt very frustrated.　When I dropped my shoulders and returned to Shimbashi, a heavyweight of the land started a year. We welcomed a first-class teacher called Soke Iemoto from all over the country.　It was said that the desire to practice and dance better led to the construction of Shimbashi Enbujo in 1925.　The state-of-the-art brick Shimbashi Enbujo at the time has continued since it dropped the east.―――

　It seems that they are competing with Nihonbashi (Yanagibashi) and Ginza (Shimbashi), but they are said to have developed through friendly competition.　

　The enterprising spirit was not only that, but Shimbashi Geisha made a fashion by incorporating the color of kimono and novel patterns.　The color at this time is Shimbashi blue, and the novel Moe yellow color is Shimbashi color.　She was wearing such a wonderful kimono with such a bright color, and the children of a good family imitated it.　It's fun!　It's going to be a book.

　Please go out. 

　The season has come to the east again this year. This year is four days from May 27 to 30 (Mon).

Even so, why do you write "Dance" instead of "Dance"?　That kind of question came up.

I tried to open the website in the east.　About the origin

"Shimbashi Hanayanagi world has continued since the Edo period.　Invented by Tokutaro Kawamura that there are fine singing places in Kyoto and Osaka, but it is unfortunate that it is not in Tokyo. Shimbashi Enbujo was founded in April 1925. "

Regarding the development of the east, "Shimbashi Enbujo's opening (Kokera Otoshi) is a performance of Shimbashi Geisha and follows the east. It is said that the history of East began with this first time. In 1945, when he lost in the Pacific War, Shimbashi Enbujo also turned into rubble, but in the east, waited for its reconstruction, and served as a play from Kirasei of post-war literature such as Yasunari Kawabata, Junichirou Tanizaki, Eiji Yoshikawa, Matsutaro Kawaguchi, etc. I asked for a play and added a new axis called dance drama. "

　Oh, there's a scenario for dancing.

But what is the birthplace of Shimbashi Geisha?　

Also, there was a question, and I thought that this would be impossible to elucidate without interviewing the organizer of the east, so I decided to interview.　The article for the interview is next time!

Actually, I enjoy seeing Ginzo, the east of last year. I also have a two-shot photo with a geisha.
