 Since 2012, Takashi Tanaka Metal Jewelry http://pn.blog.jp/archives/1013975573.html has produced a pure gold Disney tree.

The Disney characters loved all over the world are boldly expressed with a pure gold tree and exhibited at the store of GINZA TANAKA Ginza Main Store, but this year it is a platinum made with the motif of the blockbuster movie "Ana and the Snow Queen" It is "Disney Platinum Christmas Tree-Anna and the Snow Queen"!

 It seems that it took about half a year from planning to completion, but the price is 31 kg of pure platinum and the price is 300 million yen (tax included)! 
GINZA TANAKA Ginza Main Store 1F until December 25th.

 For those who don't have a little hand, there is also a silver tabletop mini tree "Disney Silver Christmas Tree - Ana and the Queen of Snow". Is the price reasonable? It seems that it is order-made for 450,000 yen (tax included). (Released until March 31, 2015)
 

Ana Snow 4.JPG


 The platinum tree is 2.6 meters high and is an octagonal cone using 31 kg of pure platinum, depicting the highlights of the movie on each side.
The tree top is covered by Anna and Elsa crowns, platinum is also used for the snow crystals, and an indigo-colored platinum foil art frame is installed in the background.

 The octagonal cone with the illustration is rotated, so you can immerse yourself in the silver world of the beautiful "Ana and the Snow Queen" woven by platinum.

 

 The silver tree is almost the same shape and is about 28 cm tall. This is in a glass case with a height of 46 cm.
Each side of the octagonal cone also shows each famous scene of the movie, but it seems that this printing requires a great deal of technology.

In addition, pendants and earrings designed with snow crystals, platinum art amounts, platinum foil hand mirrors, and pure platinum calendars are also on sale.

Oedo wholesaler festival

[Tachibana] Nov. 21, 2014 14:00

 This year, the one-day "Oedo wholesaler festival" will be held from 9:00 to 16:00 on December 7 (Sun).

poster_H26_12_07.jpgAs I introduced last year, this sale was held by a wholesaler in Nihonbashi Yokoyama-cho and Bakurocho wholesaler district.

Since it is a sale that opens the store, wholesale products are sold at wholesale prices.

You can buy it with confidence.

Shindo-dori is the center, but besides Shindo-dori, there are many wholesalers that open shops only on this day and sell them at wholesale prices, so it is fun just to look around various things, but Shindo-dori It is a bit difficult to walk depending on time because the crowd is so great.
The nearest stations are Asakusabashi, Bakurocho, Bakuroyokoyama, Higashinihombashi, and Kodemmacho.

In addition, although the location is a little far away from the Oedo wholesaler festival, "Horikoshi tie", which manufactures and wholesales ties and mufflers, is called "Horikoshi tie".
We have a family sale for the following period. Unfortunately, the day of the Oedo wholesaler festival is Sunday.
I can't look around with you.

Restaurant gallery "Kanazawa in Ginza" OPEN

1. Nov. 17, 2014 14:00

Following the OPEN of "Ishikawa Hyakumangoku Monogatari", on October 30th, Kanazawa antenna shop "Dining gallery Ginza Kanazawa" in Kanazawa City opened on the 6th floor of the Kirarito Ginza Building. It is a convenient location in front of Ginza Street Melsa and Exit 7 of Ginza 1-chome Station.

100_1506.JPG100_1503.JPG

In addition to exhibiting and selling a wide range of craft works, from Kanazawa's traditional crafts, arts and crafts, as well as lifestyle crafts linked to the climate, it is a place to widely introduce Kanazawa's charm with restaurants and cafes that serve with seasonal ingredients from Kanazawa. . The gallery consists of "Box Gallery" (22 creators selected by open call for participants), "Wall Gallery" (10 representative artists), and "Planning Exhibition Gallery". I took a look at "Kanazawa Lacquer Craft Exhibition - Kaga Makie Leaders in Ginza".

100_1504.JPG100_1505.JPG

The project is Mr. Nosaku, a lacquerware shop in Kanazawa. Nosaku is a long-established store dealing with Kaga lacquerware and Kanazawa lacquerware, founded in 1780 in the middle of the Edo period (1780). It is one of the shops that I always stop by when I go to Kanazawa. (I can't easily buy it.) This time, there are many lacquer products for the New Year, some of which are lacquered with champagne glasses, and some have a casual feeling that is perfect for Western-style tables such as simple congratulatory sake set.

I don't have to worry about seeing the price that seems to reach. It's until the 25th, so I think I'll have time to think slowly. Would you like to stop by to enjoy "Kanazawa in Ginza"? There is also a cafe.

Restaurant gallery Kanazawa in Ginza 1-8-19 Kirarito Ginza Building 6F

"Kanazawa Lacquer Craft Exhibition" is from 11:00 to 21:00 until 25th.

planet.jpg

 
It's Saturday, so a great person.
I did not start at 2:05 at the last minute, but put it at 2:25.
The waiting time is about 40 minutes.

 
The narration is Fumiya Fujii.
I miss it because I'm a checkers generation.
And in the third song, Anaser Orion
I enjoyed it with high-quality high-resolution sound source.
Since it was the front, the video was good, and the sound was great next to the speaker.★
It was a cushion seat, so take off your shoes and relax.
If the order was a little earlier, I could lie down in the cushion seat (laughs).

  
You can fully enjoy a trip to the moon for 15 minutes (* ^^*)

Tour report of the 18th Chuo-ku Industrial Culture Exhibition (Navel Exhibition)

[Silver] Nov. 10, 2014 16:00

 The 18th Chuo-ku Industrial Culture Exhibition (navel exhibition) was held for four days from November 2 to 5.

(Navel Exhibition) I wonder what it means, and when I look at the leaflet in the guide, I think

 This year, "Gathering, interacting, and creating." Chuo-ku. Under the theme of ~ Chuo-ku 'Hatsu' Industry and Culture, we will introduce representative industries in the city, such as the printing and bookbinding industry, metal industry, and textile industry, together. (Omitted)

In other words, Chuo-ku, which has long developed as the center of Japanese culture, commerce and information, and in the center of Tokyo's 23 wards, in terms of human body, the center was named "navel". I thought it was.

 Immediately after entering, there were Sukeroku and Agemaki costumes worn in Kabuki.

 Ozu Washi, a trading company specializing in Japanese paper in the first year of the Shoo era (1653 AD), has experienced paper making at a shop in Nihonbashi. I hope that the registration of Washi with World Cultural Heritage will proceed.

Edoya, a long-established brushstroke company founded in 1718 (1718 AD), decided to purchase two of his favorite pig hair toothbrushes and buy hat brushes at the shop. I had an eco bag as a souvenir.

DSC06165 (300x169). jpgDSC06161 (300x169). jpg

One of the most popular was the furoshiki corner.

My sisters taught me how to use furoshiki.

You can put it on the bottom of your bag and use it in case of emergency, and it is a furoshiki for carrying important shopping and wrapping and carrying broken objects. Also, there is a Japanese atmosphere. I wanted the children to remember it.

DSC06158 (300x169). jpgDSC06166 (300x169). jpg

At the booths of the Tokyo Printing Industry Association Kyobashi and Nihonbashi branches, we were able to purchase postcards of Historic buildings and landscapes in Nihonbashi and Kyobashi.

DSC06175 (300x169). jpgDSC06176 (300x169). jpg

This is what I thought was a great technology. Tsukishima Machinery's sewage sludge fuel conversion technology of Tsukishima Industrial Association. It's an environmentally friendly technology.

It is a super-large floating roof tank of Ishii Iron Works, which is used to store fuel for airplanes. The roof can move up and down according to the amount of fuel stock, preventing fuel from vaporizing or exploding.

DSC06174 (300x169). jpgDSC06173 (300x169). jpg

 The NPO Tokyo Chuo Net and the Tokyo Fire Department Rinko Fire Station were also exhibited for firefighting and rescue activities.

"A hospital? Ambulance? If you get lost, it's # 7119. 

DSC06171 (300x169). jpgDSC06169 (300x169). jpg

 In May this year, the cool dispatch scene of the Tokyo Fire Department Seaside Fire Station, which was shown at the Tokyo Minato Festival at Harumi Wharf, came to my eyes.

/archive/2014/05/66may-24th2014.html

Thank you very much

 There were many other companies on display. (Please forgive me for being omitted.)

And the quiz rally was popular among children.

I wrote quizzes about Chuo-ku in four places on the answer sheet, and if I answered correctly, I got a prize.

We had lunch box this year. It's useful.

 Well, it was time for lunch.

At the lunch and souvenir corner, famous stores in Chuo-ku, Meijiza, Ginza Wakamatsu, Tsukiji Tama Sushi, Uokyu, Kazuo Chuo-ku Confectionery Industry Cooperative, and Hatoya Nori Store were opened.

 

The "navel exhibition" is fun and study. Since it is held every other year, why don't you watch the "Navel Exhibition" again next year?
