Semono City

[whatever] August 8, 2013 09:00

 If you recall, this season just a year ago. I was looking for a room to move to a new land because the apartment I lived at that time was approaching.
 It has been 10 years since I worked part-time in Ginza and Tsukiji when I was a student and thought, "I want to live in Chuo-ku in the future." Like the phrase I heard somewhere, "Yes, let's move to Chuo-ku." At this time of last year, I got on the Hanzomon Line from Omotesando where I worked and got off at Suitengumae Station.
 The road to the Ningyocho intersection where the target real estate agent is located, and the sidewalk along Ningyocho-dori was steamed back and was crowded with many people. The city was being held. I arrived at the real estate agent while feeling "this air is good after all." I was planning to look for other areas, but first I was introduced to some properties in the Ningyocho neighborhood. After all, I was glad to believe in my intuition ... I didn't find it in other areas. It wasn't a mistake, I moved to Chuo-ku. Every day is fun.
 
 And the preposition becomes longer and Sumimasen. This year, the time of "Setono City" has come. It is held every year from January to Wednesday in August, and this year is three days from 5th to 7th. It overlapped with overtime, so I was able to see it only on the 6th (Tuesday).

 From the Suitengumae intersection to the Ningyocho intersection, tents of dealers line up on both sides of Ningyocho-dori. When I'm excited, I'm going to a pottery class as a hobby on the weekend, so it's unlikely that I will buy new ceramics. However, seeing products from different production areas at once is a study and a hint for making your own work. However, when I was trying to buy something in commemoration, I found a shop I was interested in. I don't know the name of the shop, but it seems to be dealing with old vessels. I'm thrilled because I sometimes buy only tableware that has passed through the times.
 Soba Inoguchi and small plates used in the Edo period. The slightly dull dyeing is tasteful and beautiful. I saw the simple appearance, such as glass made during the Meiji and Taisho eras. I thought the soba inoguchi was also affordable, but this time I bought glassware.

 Not only ceramics, but glass and wood products were also sold. It's also nice to use different dishes for each season. In front of Daikanonji Temple, it seemed that you could experience an electric potter's wheel. Please find your favorite in the city of Setomono next year. The ice yokan of Judo is also delicious.

Setono City (finished this year)
Held every year from January to Wednesday, August
Get off at Ningyocho Station on the Tokyo Metro Hibiya Line or Suitengumae Station on the Hanzomon Line.
 
 

 

Beginning of August Noryo Kabuki

1. August 7, 2013 09:00

August 2 The curtain of the first day of "Nyo-kabuki" has opened. Kabukiza, which has been prosperous since the opening of the new store in April, has the word "large entry" in the middle of the goods today.

 

100_1184.JPGKabukiza's "August Noriyo Kabuki" started in 1990 (1990). After a low fee, it became a three-part system, and the number of young Kabuki fans has been increased due to the struggle of Hanagata actors, such as Kansaburo and Goro Mitsutsu, the 18th generation during the Kankuro era. Before that, many people remember that performances other than Kabuki were held in August. From this year, Kabukiza has been performing Kabuki performances throughout the year.

It's been a long time since I saw it on the first day, and I'm thrilled. There are also many actors near the reception. It's the first day. Today we watch Part 3 "Fox Fox Fox Fox Bananashi" and "Stick Shibari". "Fox Fox Fox Fox Bananashi" is a kabuki of comedy by Shuji Hojo. "Eh!" with a donden return of being deceived or deceived "Ah!" I never stop laughing from the audience. It is strange that Hashinosuke, a raw odor shaven who was approached by `` Osome '' played by Kamezo called `` Ushimusume '', desperately endures the laughter coming up with Kamezo's tremendous expression. I'm blowing out together. When the cheerful appearance of Utae Nakamura (81 years old) appears in the young team, the voice of "Narukomaya!" "Bashibari" is a humorous popular dance that has been performed many times in the combination of Goro Mitsu and Kansaburo who died, but this time it will be played by Goro Mitsu and Kankuro.

"Fox raccoon Fox Fox Bananashi" is also a performance performed by Kansaburo of the 17th and 18th generations. Obon is also approaching. I laughed a little while laughing when I thought that they might be talking about "I'm still far away" or saying "Don't do it!" .

Please come and see the activities of young flower-shaped actors blowing away the heat.

 

Part 1 "Nozaki Village" and "Spring Kogami Lion" started at 11:00

Part 2 "Shinzo Hairyu" and "Kasane" starts at 14:15

On the other hand, at Toshodaiji Temple, a "substitute statue" imitating the national treasure Kanmawakami seated statue (8th century) was produced, and an eye memorial service was held on June 5. The "Substitute Statue" has been open to the public since June 7th. The left side of the panel on display at Nara Mahoroba Hall is a national treasure, and the right side is a "substitute statue".

If you're planning a trip to Nara, why not get tourist information at Nara Mahorobakan? There is also a special product corner and a cafe corner.
