The cherry blossoms at the base of Nihonbashi bloom in seven minutes at their best, and it is a unique scenery of this season that you can see digital cameras and authentic tripods here and there. At the Mitsukoshi Nihonbashi Main Store, the annual "Spring House Exhibition" has begun on the 25th.

This exhibition, which began in 1945, has already been held 70 times. This is a large exhibition of 340 works, including 306 selected works and 34 works by doujin teachers. Although I enter with the thought of "watching only the works of the teachers", my feet still stop in front of a work that says "first selection". The captions of the works of the fellow teachers are reprinted.

"I found it. It's a seasonal treasure "(Yuji Tezuka's "Rei Aki") and it's fun to read it as you can hear the live voice of the writer. There are exhibits such as "rock paints" and "brushes" in the venue, and it is interesting to compare the natural ones of "rock paints" and artificial ones written as "new rock" side by side. I've done it. At the last 3rd venue, a cover picture of the work catalog from the 35th exhibition is displayed. I saw the name of the late writer and looked at it nostalgically and interestingly.

I was lying on the 4th floor.

To Miyakoshiya Coffee Shop. Sapporo is the main store, but it is completely rooted in Nihonbashi. The photo shows today's cake set. One of the pleasures is to recall "this was good" while looking at the list of works exhibited in one hand of coffee. Please take a look at "Japanese painting's Now" as a cherry blossom viewing in Nihonbashi.

"Spring-in Exhibition" will be held at Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store until April 6th. Main Building and New Building 7F Gallery

Entrance fee General 800 yen 10:00 to 18:30 (until 17:00 on the last day)

 

 

 Hisamitsu Noguchi's nostalgic French movie poster exhibition is being held at "Tsukiji TASS Gharari Wakamatsuya" at 6-12-3 Tsukiji.
The event will be held from March 23 to April 4 (Sat).

When I entered the gallery, I thought it was an old-colored poster, and instead, the untouched poster was displayed beautifully.

Unfortunately, I have never watched these masterpieces, but the theme songs of those films are still being sung.
For example, "French Kankan" is "heaven and hell" played at the athletic meet, is it like this?

"The third man" has seen it aired on TV. Melo Day is like LaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLa!

There is also an exhibition and spot sale of the Western Painting Road Shop Program.

I purchased "Anna Karenina of Vivien Leigh", "The Third Man", "French Kankan", and "The Seine under the Sky of Bari flows" with posters.

The unit price is only 100 yen (tax included).　It's very nice if you decorate it in your room.

On the third day of the exhibition, Mr. It was during the daytime on Weekday Day, so I went out assuming it wasn't too crowded, but it was off. It is lined up near the entrance. It's a complicated feeling that it's nice to be popular and it's too crowded.

Tasha Tuder (1915-2008), a picture book writer who enjoyed gardening in the mountains of Vermont, the United States and continued his creative activities until his death at the age of 92. What became well known in Japan

After all, it was introduced on NHK's program. After raising children, a self-sufficient simple lifestyle that handmade most of everyday life in the countryside surrounded by vast nature has a `` longing '' for modern people who tend to lose comfort in their daily lives I think it was held. Especially for middle-aged and older women who love gardening, there are many enthusiastic fans and the venue is full of such women.

The venue used tableware and furniture, gardening goods, original drawings of dresses and picture books, doll houses and dolls, etc. I found a bottle of champagne and Bobkurico about 5 cm in the cupboard of the doll house, and raised my voice unintentionally. It's just like the real thing.

"The modern people are too busy. Sit on the locking chair in the evening porch and listen to dusky thrush's clear voice while drinking chamomile Tay. Everyday life will be more fun." (Tasha's words)    "I'm longing." This time. It's one day.

 

Until April 6 Matsuya Ginza 8F Event Square

The cherry blossoms were about to bloom soon, but when I went to Nihonbashi Takashimaya by accident, the lobby on the 1st floor was filled with various plants like a botanical garden.

　

This "Botanical Garden" was produced by Kiyojun Nishihata, who is called a plant hunter.
It seems that more than 200 kinds of plants such as Sansyu, which are over 100 years old, coexist.


Foreigners in kimono are also taking a commemorative photo against the background of the botanical garden.

I'm sorry that the introduction was delayed, but the display in the lobby is until March 24 (Tuesday). Plants are also placed on Showwindo, which seems to have been displayed until March 31.

A lot of flowers were blooming on Chuo-dori street in front of Takashimaya.

Spring is finally coming.

 

 

The March Kabuki "Sugawara Densho Handbook" is a popular one based on the Dazaifu style of Sugawara no Michizanekyogen, known as one of the three major Kabuki masterpieces, saying, "I recommend that people with heart be busy."

In many cases, each stage of the famous scenes is performed independently, but this time it was performed day and night, and it was the first time in Kabukiza in 13 years. Men are unusually noticeable in the full seats. Jojo Suga is played by Nizaemon, the leading role, and young people are the main stage. There is no time to breathe from "Kamo Tsutsumi", which is the beginning of the incident, "Brush teaching" and "Domyoji", but Taro Tachibana of Kiyo left Nakaben and Ainosuke in his house laugh. A friend of the bank says, "I'm going to be a fan of Nizaemon!" Genzo Takebe in the daytime section is Somegoro, Matsu Midori in the nighttime section "Terakoya", Tonami in the daytime section is Umeeda, and I am looking forward to the actors who play with Ichitaro at night. I recommend that you take a look at the stage of "Even if it will be passed down to someone else, so much Jojo Suga will not be able to see it now" (Nikkei drama review).

In the evening, "Kurubiki", "Kaga no Celebration", and "Terakoya" Senakiraku are on the 27th. For inquiries, please contact Ticket Hon Shochiku

　A commemorative event in which Tsukiji Honganji was designated as an Important Cultural Property was held on March 14 and 15, and has been held on both days.

On the 14th, dance with instrumental accompaniment's "Langling King" performed and strict dance were performed. Next, a projection mapping was shown in main hall to introduce the history of Tsukiji Honganji and the relationship between those involved in the construction.

The photos I took were impossible, so please enjoy it in the reports of other correspondents.

(I can't do it, but it's a picture of the evidence I went.)

　

By the way, on the 15th, we arrived before 10 o'clock in the morning and listened to the greetings of the people concerned. The children at Kyobashi Tsukiji Elementary School had a reputation for being very good.

　

　Mr. Kibun served a free oden. It was very delicious.

You can also buy it at shops outside Tsukiji or at supermarkets. I had a cup of oden at night.

　

　We listened to a commemorative lecture about Dr. Chuta Ito, who was involved in the architectural design of Tsukiji Honganji.

　

　Next, we enjoyed watching the Tsukiji Honganji Maki through the cooperation of parents and children who applied in advance.

　Everyone was serious.

I can't forget the nervous faces of the children when lifting the completed "Tsukiji Honganji Maki" and the joy of rising.

　

By the way, there were many shops for lunch, but we had delicious Matsuro fried eggs from local Tsukiji and beef steak from Oomiya beef shop.

　

　Please also see the explanation board of the newly established nationally designated important cultural properties.

　

　At the panel exhibition, we saw Kozui Otani (Kamijojin), Takeko Kujo, and Dr. Chuta Ito, who designed Honganji Temple.

In particular, the explanation of the Buddhist research and exploration journey to India was very interesting. I was once again convinced that the explanation of the encounter between the expedition and Dr. Chuta Ito.

Next, we participated in the "Honganji Tour" where you can guide you through Tsukiji Honganji Temple.

　

　I enjoyed seeing the reliefs of summoned bells (that Buddhist memorial service began), elephants, monkeys, and cows.

　Everyone who participated together seemed to have fun.

　

Finally, we also visited a video screening related to Tsukiji Honganji.

The contents include the recorded video owned by Tsukiji Honganji Temple, edited by the Chuo-ku Board of Education, such as the `` Ochikei Hoho / Great Kanto Earthquake '', and not only the situation at the time of the disaster, but also the activity at the time of the earthquake The hardships of Tsukiji Honganji were well understood. I wanted to express my deep respect.

　

Thank you for having fun and studying for two days, and thank you for many delicious things. Thank you very much.
