After the seedlings of "Ginza willow" received at the "Ginza willow Festival" on May 5th.

I was only giving water to the veranda, but I grew up quite a bit.

According to the manual, "If the leaves die (after summer), replant them in soil."

I'm planning to plant it in the garden of a condominium around the end of next month. I'm looking forward to seeing what will happen.

How about the other willows?

The left is on May 5th and the right is on June 29th.　　　　　　　　

The first floor of the Noevia Ginza headquarters building facing Ginza 7-chome, Namiki-dori St. is the Noevia Ginza Gallery, where seasonal exhibitions are held regularly.

The exhibition currently being held is entitled "Jiro Takidaira Kirie no Natsu", and a number of prints that make you feel summer by Jiro Takihira, a cut-out and print writer, are on display.

Takidaira is one of Japan's leading cut-out and print artists, which everyone knows when looking at the work, and his work is powerful, nostalgic, and nostalgic, and feels nostalgia for good old Japan.

Why don't you take a stroll through Namiki-dori St. and visit it once?

This gallery is made of glass and has a very open atmosphere.

Over the past few days, the rainy season has continued, but I think it would be nice to feel the summer of Japan a little earlier at this exhibition.

The event will be held from June 29 (Mon) to July 24 (Fri) for the first semester, and from July 26 (Sun) to August 21 (Fri) for the second semester. The museum will be closed on July 25 (Sat) to change the exhibition.

The event will be held from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays are until 5 p.m.

On the 1D floor of the Sony showroom at the corner of the Sukiyabashi intersection, Ginza 5-chome, a huge high-definition drawing depicting actress Keiko Kitagawa is released.

This is a huge drawing used for shooting in the video produced by "Bravia Keiko Kitagawa 4K PROJECT", which has the concept of "creating the most beautiful 4K video now".

The height is 2.2m, the width is 3.6m, and it is drawn in high definition with countless pencil lines.

The elaborate Keiko Kitagawa drawn in line drawings and the delicateness of countless flowers is wonderful.

Also, the 4K video is clear and so beautiful that it can't be expressed.

The release period is from Monday, June 29 to July 22 (Wed). The time is from 11:00 to 19:00.

Thank you for your understanding regarding the photography. Thank you very much.
