The combination of "living flowers" and "withered driftwood" is exciting. It's like a monument

By the way, we continue the city walk along Chuo-dori, this time we are heading south.
You will find Takashimaya on your right and the bookstore Maruzen Nihonbashi store on your left.
Maruzen is on the third floor of the Western-style book corner, but at World Antique Plaza, here is the world.
Until August 4th, an old book exhibition is being held under the title "Japan knitted in Siebold".

Speaking of Siebold, since 1823, he has been visiting Japan for six years as a doctor of Dutch trading post on Dejima, Nagasaki.
I have the impression of being a first-class foreigner who analyzed Japan and spread it both domestically and internationally.
From the literature left by Siebold, you can see the cultural climate and life of the Japanese in the late Edo period visually.
In addition, there is a picture of the scenery around Nihonbashi in the past. Certainly, it's the appearance (report) to the general.
I think it was around Ienari Tokugawa. At that time, it was "Nagasakiya" per 3-chome Muromachi.
I think I've stayed there. There must have been many Japanese friends in Siebold,
To interact with overseas, you must be able to speak first, make friends.
I don't think it's the same that this is the secret.

How about Hayashi rice to go home? This origin is often said,
It is derived from the simmered beef and vegetables made by Yuteki Hayashi, the founder of Maruzen.

Even in the neighborhood of Nishinaka-dori, which is full of monja, there is also a lot of monja.

Preparations for the Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine annual festival, which is held every three years, have begun.

　
As the Kariya and sacred wine offices of the town council are built, and the number of name tags on the votive bulletin board increases, the festival will be excited.

Starting from the evening palace on July 31, the city is full of festivals until August 4.

There are many things that you can't miss, such as the Union portable shrine, the Miya portable shrine Ship imperial procession, and so on.

It is unique to summer festivals that the town council members work with water on the mikoshi bearers.

Every morning at 6 o'clock, the first drum will tell you the beginning of the festival.

The sound of "Tonton Kakaka" will surely tell your heart.

It will be swaying.

The "30 Years After Mupata Death Exhibition" is being held at the Nagai Gallery, which is close to Ginza 4-chome, the intersection of Showa-dori and Harumi-dori St., and the intersection of Miharabashi.

Mupata is S.G. Mupata, a Tanzanian-born painter who represents the trend of African contemporary art "Tinga Tinga School".

As the subtitle says "African primitive male", animals and birds are vividly depicted with vivid colors created by the African earth.

The exhibition hall is on the 4th, 5th, and 8th floors, with about 30 original drawings on display.

The expression of the animals and birds depicted is very impressive, like a person.

I feel very familiar.

It is a picture that makes you feel peaceful when you look at it.

The exhibition period is from Tuesday, July 7 to September 13 (Sunday), and the opening hours are from 11:00 to 18:00. The gallery is closed every Tuesday.
