Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

I also went to two events that had already been talked about, the All Japan Tug of War Festival and the Oedo Festival Bon Dance Festival. This time, I would like to write a blog that summarizes two events based on the location of Hamacho Park.

The All Japan Tug of War Festival is held mainly in the gymnasium, but stores are lined up from the entrance of Hamacho Park. From the yellow gate as shown in the photo, park visitors to enjoy the festival without losing the main tug of war are enjoying the summer time.

Eating and drinking at restaurants is fun, but various events were also wonderful.

Regularly, participants of the opening of the store, Miss Chuo-ku, and other people danced in music (AKB48), and were excited. Kendama Champion decided on a flashy technique, which was also receiving great attention. The entertainer of Yoshimoto also creates a peaceful atmosphere. What should be noted is the sumo wrestler. A wrestler from the Arashio room in Hamacho is acting as a chanko pot. The taste is good. It will entertain us at the event.

In addition to these, the Chuo-ku Tourism Association gathers children with traditional toys, water guns, kendama, etc.

I took three yo-yo-yo at the booth in Chuo-ku. This is a new record. Moreover, it was still likely to be taken at the time of taking three, but he declined. I used to be poor in the past, but suddenly it got better.

It is held in the midsummer after the tray and has a slightly sober impression, but it is a recommended event that is kind to everyone who comes and everyone.

In fact, I spent many hours without knowing the excitement of the tug-of-war tournament in the outside fun. sumo wrestlers' hot pot, Yakisoba, Beer...

What was the tournament like? I forgot the original interview and ended that day.

The next event of the tug-of-war tournament is the Bon Dance Festival the following week.

What is overwhelming here is the amount of people and store openings. It's getting bigger compared to the previous week's events. Fortunately, we were blessed with the weather, and this was also exciting.

From children to grandfathers and grandmothers, I met wonderful smiles.

Hamacho Park is a wonderful place as a space. I feel that I will come to the Bon Dance Festival. The venue is a playground, but at the end of the view is the bank of the Sumida River, where the highway passes. Because of the highway, the river is not completely visible, so it is a little different space from the river. However, there is a large space of the river above.

This space, which seems to be open and feels like a special space. Isn't it ideal for Bon Odori, which goes away from everyday life for a while?

I couldn't think of such a meaningful thing, but when I was vague, the evening was night.

The two events will meet both to excite the second half of summer. The fireworks display was disappointing this year, but various events in Chuo-ku will not get bored.

After mid-August, the day becomes shorter, and the season gradually becomes autumn. I'm a little lonely.

Nevertheless, there are festivals and events that are tasteful in autumn in autumn, so I would like to go again.

 

 

Various urban planning is underway at the bay area of Chuo-ku and at the mouth of the Sumida River. Above all, in anticipation of the Tokyo Olympics in 2020, preparations for the opening of an athlete village have begun in the Harumi area, and construction of "Ring No. 2", a major artery of transportation, is accelerating.

The area around Kachidoki and Toyomi-cho is gradually changing the landscape with the construction of this new road. In this area, which once had a strong image of a fishery warehouse town, several large condominiums have been built, and stylish interior shops and restaurants have also opened, and new attractions have been increasing.

The population will increase along with the construction of the apartment, and the number of school children is expected to increase in the future, so Toyomi Elementary School will be rebuilt, and construction began in late August this year with the aim of opening in 2016. .

Along with this construction work, the layout of [Toyomi Sports Park] adjacent to the elementary school was also changed, and the conventional plaza was temporarily closed.

Looking into the construction site, heavy equipment was introduced, and preparations for foundation work were underway. A fence is set up around the construction area, and you must detour to the day campsite. For the time being, I can't do it.

The tennis court is operating as before, and light ball sounds are always playing. There is also information that the influence of Nishikori's big success at the US Open the other day, or that more people are trying to play tennis. The topic was heard here and there at the Toyomi Tennis Court.

The Toyomi district is changing ahead of the new era. What kind of town will it develop in 5 or 10 years? We hope that it will become popular as another town view of Chuo-ku. I would like to watch with you.

We have guided our customers to three galleries, Tokyo Gallery, Kobayashi Gallery, and Galerie Tamenaga.

 

　At the Tokyo Gallery in Ginza 8-10-5, the president himself takes more than 30 minutes.

At the Hermitage Museum of Art, the works of "Japanese Abstract-That Geometric Aspects" and Russian works, it was interesting to hear from many interesting stories from Germany that came to Japan, such as explaining the individual works and explaining the works similar to the Katsura Imperial Palace, or spreading the goodness of Katsura Imperial Palace.　At the Art Festa in December, it seems that you are planning to sell paintings at a price that I can buy.　I'm looking forward to it.　Click here for the website of Tokyo Gallery. http://www.tokyo-gallery.com/

 

Next, we visited "Galley Tasaga" on Namiki-dori St.

When you say hello, it's a very kind word, "Please feel free to see it."

I love a masterpiece of Aizpiri (probably a villa, a deep blue Mediterranean and yacht through open windows, a potos extending to the left, a papaya tree with fruits on the right, and a sofa on the two children sitting on the sofa, a portrait of a gentle grandmother-like bird, a yellowish picture of a bird like a bird, and a decor.

And the paintings of famous painters such as Utrilo, Laurentan, Buffet, Chagall were on display, and we recommended our customers' sofas and were able to appreciate the paintings relaxedly.

Every time he visits, he makes him happy. Marci beaucoup

At the last visit to Kobayashi Gallery, an employee who seems to be a young college graduate explained the characteristics of the gallery and the work of Izumi Akiyama, who is currently on display.

He also carefully answered the question from the customer, "How to draw pure white porcelain and glasses with a pencil."

From September 11th (Thursday), the "Nordic Rich Time Risa Larson Exhibition" is being held at Event Square on the 8th floor of Matsuya Ginza. Until I went to this exhibition, I didn't know this person, but when I went there today, it was nice to have a very friendly and healing style, so I would like to introduce you.

Risa Larson, a Swedish potter born in 1931, seems to continue making pottery even after the age of 80. Many of the works on display are based on the theme of animals and children, and each work gives a warm sense of humor.

At the venue, more than 200 works by Risa Larson were exhibited, the interior of the atelier and summer house was reproduced, and the pottery scenery was introduced in the video. On the first night, I went around 7 o'clock, With an amazing number of visitors, I am just ashamed of my unknown.

The event will be held until September 23 (holiday, Tuesday). The last day is closed at 17:00, and admission is until 30 minutes before closing.
