　It's finally started.

 

　The picture is before 17:00.

 

　Even so it's hot!

　　　　

　　　　

　　　　

 

 

 

This time, it was a long time ago, but I would like to introduce how Chibi of my home celebrated his first birthday and celebrated at a wonderful shop in Ginza at that time.

 

The shop is "Irimoya-Bettei-"

It is on the 4th floor of the Ginza Lion Building at Ginza 6-chome intersection in Chuo-dori.

 

"Bear Hall Lion Ginza 7-chome Store" on the first floor is the oldest existing beer hall.

Since its opening in 1934, it seems that the appearance has not changed completely.

The entrance of the iris house is behind the street, just one road from the street.

 

I made a reservation here in advance and visited at lunch time.

Guided by a calm private room, adults can enjoy colorful and delicate dishes.

 

 

A 3-year-old nephew has a children's plate, and a 1-year-old Chibi has a one-year-old mochi.

 

 

Mr. Chibi, carrying Issho mochi. I was able to choose the furoshiki that wraps it from various patterns.

 

In addition, the shop took a group photo and printed it on the spot, and when I returned home, I cut this rice cake and made it a souvenir along with the photo.

It was a delicious rice cake that felt the rice and melted quickly.

 

In addition, I think it's a reservation privilege, but I also received a birthday cake.

Chibi and others are also excited about the candle service that opens with a paka.

　　

The shops were also very kind, and I had good memories on the anniversary.

And the tired mother has a good time. 。 。 (^^;)

1st birthday is special...How about such a luxurious anniversary occasionally?

　Tsukiji Honganji's Noryo Bon Dance Festival began on July 29.

　I'm going to the venue with a low head.

　There were many shops outside Tsukiji, and there was a line of people buying delicious food.

　Everyone seemed to be very happy. Please refer to the report of another correspondent for photos of the fun scene.

Today, I studied, so I was forced to disappear in the dark.

I'd like to know you soon.

 

 

　It's at the height of summer.

In various parts of Chuo-ku, summer festivals and Bon Odori competitions are held, and the heat is full of seasonal and atmosphere.

　This weekend, the Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine Grand Festival, one of the best traditional events in the city, will be held. Because it is a festival once every three years, the locals are waiting for the day by pulling their hands.

　This time, in particular, "Ieyasu Tokugawa's 400th Anniversary Festival (a commemorative project commemorating the 400th anniversary of the death)" Thank you for the peace of this area that has continued since the Edo era, and Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine was set in Settsu. In honor of Ieyasu, the country, Tsukuda (currently Osaka City), will be held in large respect.

　Of particular note is that not only the newly-built tour of Miya portable shrine, but also the pre-preserved Miya portable shrine (octagonal portable shrine, Tenpo era), will travel around the town. This may be the first and last time that two large mikoshis are traveling together. Don't miss it!

　The schedule is July 31, as described in the event information of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association (http://www.chuo-kanko.or.jp/event/monthly.php?year=2015 & month=08#event1). It starts on Friday. After the ceremony was held on this day, in the evening, a ceremony will be held in which ritual officials from each town in the Tsukishima district prepare themselves in their yukatas and walk in the shrine to pray for the safety of the festival.

　Saturday, August 1 is the Union imperial procession of each town. A number of portable shrines run out of each town and set up in front of the shrine. The powerful voice of the men carrying the portable shrine fills Tsukuda Island.

　On the 2nd, the Maritime Festival and the Ship imperial procession will be held in the morning. I used to carry the portable shrine and enter the Sumida River, but now I put portable shrine on a boat and pray for the well-being of the district from the water. And during the day it is a tour of Miya portable shrine. Miya Mikoshi, who left Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine, travels around each town, arrives at the inn in Kachidoki, and spends the night.

　On the 3rd (Monday), Miya Mikoshi will leave Kachidoki this time and return to Tsukuda's headquarters in the form of delivery in each town. The enthusiasm continues until the finale of the festival, "Miyairi".

　In addition to these general schedules, the whole area will be full of festival mode for four days, with its own portable shrine and floats cruising, music and drums being unveiled in each town. During periods when there are no cruises in portable shrine, portable shrines are displayed in temporary houses called "Okariya" in each town. If you look closely, there are features one by one, so it is interesting to see and go around in order.

　We look forward to this festival, also known as the Water Festival, where the rhythm and shout of portable shrine resonate in midsummer alleys, splashes with rainbows, and smiles of people.

 

 

On July 26 (Sun), I visited Hashirai for the first time.

　

At 11:00, the Nihonbashi intersection was closed from Nihonbashi Kitazume.

At 11:10, after the road sign in the center of the bridge was cleaned, the bridge was washed.

　

Most of them are deck brushes, but small children use sardines.

The gray water flowed and continued.

At the end, a ladder car was dispatched and a plate was cleaned of Nihonbashi, which was attached to the highway.

　

It was announced that 325,000 people had signed the removal of the expressway over Nihonbashi.

I hoped that this would be realized as soon as possible, and that the plate would be removed.

　

The thermometer you bring is 33 degrees!

　

Because it was a narrow place called a bridge, it looked like potato washing

About 1,300 people sweated to wash the bridge.

 

 

The bridge washing of Meibashi Nihonbashi from around 11:00 on the last Sunday of July every year (the current bridge is celebrating 104 years this year).
I participated in 7/26.

　

First of all, thank you for visiting the "Japan Road Mark" embedded in the center of the bridge.
Then a long hose was taken out from the red body of the two Nihonbashi Fire Stations, and watered (recycled water) on the bridge.
Nature-friendly soapy water to the entire bridge with a bucket. (There are about 40 members from the fire department.)
　

　

The number of participants is men and women of all ages, maybe about 1500, or under 36 degrees below the scorching sun, all in groups.
Wearing the "Neighborhood Association-style happi coat" in hand, using deck brushes, etc.
Goshigoshi, take a bath to the bridge!
After 12:00, a large "Nihonbashi" sign with a ladder attached to both sides of the expressway above the head from the fire truck.
It's the finale for cleaning. Thank you very much during the hot weather.
(This letter is a copy of the nameplate of the bridge pillar written by Yoshinobu Tokugawa and is lined up side by side, but the nameplate of the bridge pillar is something that Yorinaka Tsumaki, an architect and shogunate, asked for the calligraphy.)
