Ningyocho Tenten Festival

[Mumin] October 12, 2012 08:30

 October 8 The 24th Tenten Festival was held on Ningyocho Odori on the day of the autumn weather.
The Tenten Festival is an autumn event in Ningyocho, which is held around October 10 every year.
In connection with "Totsuki (October) and "10th)" until childbirth, this name was given in hope of safe delivery.

On the day of the event, there was a marching band march and a therapy dog show on Ningyocho Odori, a naughty sumo wrestling, a product corner in Numazu and Utsunomiya, a lottery distribution and a raffle.
Last year I missed the lottery, but this year I got it.
 In addition, there was an electric hot carpet. I'm looking forward to winter now.

There was a lemonade stand of RINNA in one corner of the venue. This stand sells lemonade juices at a volunteer shop for children and their families fighting childhood cancer, and donates all proceeds to NPOs and organizations for children with childhood cancer.

I purchased vegetables, rice, yakitori, salted sweetfish, and lemonade sold directly from the production area. The chanko pot made by wrestlers in the Arashio room was also delicious. The prize was a good day for the lottery.

The above is the Hamarikyu Garden. The theme of the venue here is "the wind of tradition living today."

It is divided into the Edo Hirokoji area, the Edo culture experience area, and the garden area. "Pine teahouse" is also available.

It has been restored to remember the time as much as possible. Presented from Vietnam during the era of the eighth Shogun Yoshimune Tokugawa

It is expressed in a form that the elephant was bred in this garden. Also, feel the atmosphere of autumn.

You can also experience "tea ceremony" and "nodote" as well.

The wind and tranquility from the sea make you feel a calm time.

When I actually tried it, there was an area where the antenna shop was concentrated, and it was spread very efficiently, goodbut once you enter the shop, there are many special products and delicious things that are intriguing , I just spend time and money ...

By the way, the route I went around was [Nihonbashi Shimanekan] ⇒ [Bridge Niigata] ⇒ [Nara Mahorobakan] ⇒ [Oidema Yamaguchikan] ⇒ [Fuji no Kuni Yamanashikan] ⇒ [Kyotokan] ⇒ [Hokkaido Fuderist Yaesu Store] ⇒ [Yaesu Tourism Exchange Center, Fukushima Prefecture] ⇒ [Entist Yamaguchi] ⇒ [AU] ⇒ [Kochi] ⇒ Okinawa Brand] ⇒ Okinawa]

Safely, I went around 12 stores to collect stamps and post them. By the way, I'm looking forward to asking if it's a lottery or if a prize will be sent.sign01

Founded in 1718 ★Brushes and brushes from Edoya

[Mapo ★] October 10, 2012 13:00

I went to the Chuo-ku Tourism Association's town walking tour guide.
This time, a long-established and medicine museum course!

Get off at Kodemmacho Station on the subway and go to the first Edoya.

A shop that has been around since 1718.
It seems that he was given the name of Edoya by the Shogun family.
The owner of the photo is the twelfth generation (@_@)

R0010234.JPG R0010235b.JPG

Clothes brush, toothbrush, makeup brush, etc.
In addition, they showed me a lot of brushes when making dolls.

R0010231.JPG R0010230.JPG

Those that use human hair, this is pig hair, this is horse hair ...
The squirrel hair of the teak brush was very soft (*^^*)

The hair used for brushes has never been shampooed or colored.
Moreover, it seems that it is not the hair of a woman. Women's hair is strong (laughs).

R0010225.JPG R0010227.JPG

Toothbrush is made of horse hair. It's 420 yen for each.
And the tapping for the display of personal computers
What an austrich feather ★735 yen

R0010259.JPG R0010258.JPG

It's really nice to have a lot of time and effort made by this craftsman!
However, it seems that there are really few craftsmen.
It is an era where a large amount of Chinese products are coming in.
It seems that the artisans don't grow up.
I thought this was not the case where I bought a 100-yen product.

A toothbrush is also good as a souvenir~♪

Betta City will be held on the 19.20th of this month, but
At that time, Edoya seems to be on sale.
It seems that there are a lot of great deals.


Next, go to the museum of Ozu Washi ...
