[Chuo-ku to enjoy with children] #06: Hawaiian rhythmic classroom (Nihonbashihamacho)

[Dye] January 19, 2015 14:00

This time, we will introduce "Parent and Child Hawaiian Ritomics" held at the general sports center in Chuo-ku.

 

At the General Sports Center, various sports classes are held, such as those for adults and children, and those for moms who can participate with small children.

There are recruitment about three times a year, and applicants apply by round-trip postcard. (Everyone can apply even if they are not resident in the ward.)

The sports center is located in Hamacho Park. Near the station!

 

Parent-child Hawaiian rhythmic is one of such sports classes.

It seems to be popular and there are many lottery lots, but fortunately I was able to pass.

I'm doing it at the martial arts hall at the sports center in Hamacho. There is a nursing space inside.

 

Here, you can lend Hawaiian costumes to children, sing and dance according to the ukulele, and play rhythms with plenty of Hawaii.

In addition, it is also attractive that you can sprinkle a lot of leaves (toys) flutter, hold a large and colorful sheet together to make it fluffy, and have a dynamic play that you can not do at home.

My child usually tends to know places and shy people, but at this time he was playing happily while shouting.

Mom also performs hula dance.

Contrary to the supple movement, the legs and legs are trained unexpectedly, and the exercise effect is great.◎

 

I was worried that I would get used to it because I was shy, but the teachers were bright and kind, so I was able to enjoy it with peace of mind.

Finally, I received a wonderful handmade souvenir.

 

Even though it is spacious in Tokyo, I don't think there are many places where you can experience such an experience. After all, Chuo-ku is good~

I think the next recruitment will be around spring, but please check it out.

 

Then, at the end, let's say goodbye to Ritomic.

  Let's dance together♪

The first play-Sarunosuke's first appearance of the new Kabukiza Theater-

1. January 11, 2015 10:07

100_1546.JPG 100_1547.JPG

Did you eat the seven herbs? Sarunosuke will gradually appear in the newly opened Kabukiza Theater, so on the last day of Matsunouchi, I felt uplifted and went to Kabukiza Theater. The photo shows the New Year's Day inside Kabukiza. I feel like early spring when I step into it. The audience seats are full of driftwood and during the New Year's Day, so there are many gorgeous kimonos, so I regret that I should have made a visit. Sarunosuke's "Kurozuka" is the last performance of the night club. Kankuro works for Yukei Ajarashi. Sarunosuke plays on the demon Iwate of Adachigahara, but the appearance of dancing while bathing in the moonlight in the thin Hara is really fantastic. This stage device is impressive no matter how many times you see it. And "Buddha fall" on the flower path (fall down straight from upright figure) is also enough. It is a stage that made me feel again that it is really happy to be able to see Sarunosuke, who is evolving rapidly, in the same period.

The daytime part is Tamasaburo's "Women's temporary" Yoshiemon's "Bancho Sarayashiki", and the daytime part is "Kinkaku-ji Temple", "Spider's beat dance", and "Single sword ring". Depending on the day, we still have seats so please contact us.

Ticket Hon Shochiku 0570-000-489 (10:00 to 18:00) Chiakiraku is on the 26th.

The lion dance is performed by the Dai-Kagura Preservation Society in the lobby before the opening of the National Theater. I'll deliver it in exchange for New Year's balls.

 

 

The 30th Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods Tour

[Silver] January 6, 2015 17:49

 

 This year marks the 30th anniversary of the Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods Tour, sponsored by the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store, sponsored by the Nihonbashi Shichifukukai, and sponsored by the Chuo-ku Tourism Association.

In front of the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store, it was crowded with people who applied for participation from 10 o'clock.

While waiting, you heard a happy conversation, saying, "I'm the twelfth!"

Visit the shrines of 1 Koami Shrine, 2 Chanogi Shrine, 3 Matsushima Shrine, 4 Suehiro Shrine, 5 Kasama Inari Shrine, 6 Suitengu Shrine, 7 Sugimori Shrine, and 8 Takarada Ebiju Shrine in Nihonbashi Seven Lucky Gods.

Have a stamp of proof of worship at Sugimori Shrine on the way.

⑧At Takarada Ebiju Shrine, delicious "Bedarazuke" from Takaya in Tokyo was served and sold. I also bought one souvenir. It is also perfect for beer and sake!

And at Yamamoto-noriten, a cute lucky girl in a glossy kimono was waiting. Thank you very much for taking pictures!

At the back of Yamamoto-noriten's shop, I received a picture plate of this year's zodiac.

At the shop, delicious grilled seaweed is really sold at a special price, and I purchased one.

After that, on the rooftop of Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store, we received a towel of this year's zodiac sign and an invitation ticket for the exhibition.

At the Mitsukoshi store, the “Good luck Hokusai Treasure Ship Medal Rally” was also held and participated.

I'd like to participate again next year! It was made of silver that made me feel stronger.

 This is the result of this year!

 May this year be a bright year, I wish you all the health and happiness.

 

 

Printer Hasui Kawase Exhibition [Nihonbashi Takashimaya]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] January 5, 2015 10:32

I am very happy to be able to introduce this person early in the year.

A retrospective exhibition by Hasui Kawase (1883-1957), a printmaker known as "Hiroshige of Showa," is being held at Nihonbashi Takashimaya. It's my favorite printmaker

hang4.JPG

In the morning of January 3, I went to Takashimaya, facing Chuo-dori, where the climbers of each university stand, to support the final runner on the Hakone Ekiden return route.

hang3.JPG

As the subtitle of the retrospective exhibition says "Japanese scenery of nostalgia", Tomoe Mizu traveled all over Japan to sketch, and returned to Tokyo to continue living in printmaking. There are more than 600 woodcuts left in life.

In this retrospective exhibition, sketchbooks and original drawings were also exhibited. The comparison between the sketches of the watercolor and the trial sliding and the main sliding was interesting because I could imagine the creator's intention to make it. You can also see a video (about 13 minutes) recording the sketch trip of Tomoe Mizu, and you can also hear the voice of the person himself.

(Nihonbashi (night dawn) 1940)

In the recommendation letter of the retrospective exhibition, there was a statement saying, "I don't exist anywhere now, but nostalgic scenery-Please enjoy the trip of 'Rediscover Japan'."

I stopped and watched the nostalgic scenery many times.

(Kiyosubashi, 1931)

Who is Oribe? 400 years after his death Oribe Furuta Exhibition-Matsuya Ginza

1. January 3, 2015 15:00

100_1534.JPGHappy New Year. Ginza Matsuya has many New Year's projects for the past few years with the theme of "Japanese beauty" and "Japanese aesthetics", but this year is the "Oribe Furuta Exhibition", which will be 400 years after his death. There are many people who know it because it retains its name in "Oribe ware", which is known for its distorted shape and innovative design of green and earthy scraping. Oribe Furuta (1544-1615) is a "warlord tea master" who served Nobunaga, Hideyoshi, and Ieyasu, and is a creator who brought novel beauty into the world of tea in a strange way that contrasts with Wabicha after Rikyu's death. This time, the gorgeous "Kabuita" Keicho era, in which Oribe played an active part in three parts: "Oribe's Age", "Oribe's Chanoyu", and "Oribe's Tea Ceremony", Oribe developed tea utensils related to the novel design left, Oribe Exhibition Pamphlets from all over the world's masterpieces of tea bowls, water fingers, and kaiseki tools developed in one hall.

100_1535.JPGLooking at the novel modeling that I don't think it was produced very 400 years ago, Ieyasu felt the "dangerous smell" that loosened the system in it and found that "suspection of rebellion" was hung up I felt like it was. How do you enjoy the world of "Hyogemono", which can be said to be very modern at the beginning of the year?

Until January 19 Matsuya Ginza 8F Event Square

From 10:00 to 20:00 (17:00 on the last day)

Admission fee 1,000 yen
