"Gathering of International Exchange in Chuo-ku 2015"

[Marsha Horiuchi of Edo] 14:00 on November 25, 2015

It was held at Tsukiji Social Education Center on Saturday 11/21.

I participated in the "Gathering of International Exchange".

 

It was crowded with people who were a little interested in Chuo-ku and people from various countries.
Fist ball, quoits, karuta, flower tag, lucky laughter, sugoroku, hajiki, Hagoita, spinning top, ink painting (pictured is my work), furoshiki wrapping,
(Rest corner for Chijimi, Oden, Sri Lankan tea), I enjoyed the shamisen experience corner while taking advantage of it.

 
In addition, Japanese culture is easily introduced, such as tea ceremony, kimono try-on, dance, ikebana, etc.
Wasn't it a fun time for foreigners? Maybe even those who want to learn Japanese easily
It was a day when I felt that I needed to deal with inbound more and more.

[Ginzo] 20:00 on November 24, 2015

 By the way, in Part 1, I reported on delicious Chijimi, oden, fragrant Sri Lankan milk tea, and other entertainment.

At the venue, there was a disaster prevention corner, a disaster prevention video was broadcast, and we also experienced tasting emergency food.

 I received an emergency food and an emergency set gift. What are you all prepared for?

 A volunteer from the Chuo-ku Cultural and International Exchange Promotion Association explained the activities.

It would be nice if many foreign people could become friends and understand each other's culture and lifestyle.

 By the way, the foreign dance of this day came from the outside because it was a flamenco.

The performers were Tomoko Ishii Flamenco Studios. The boy is also cool and decides on poses.

 During the wonderful dance performance, I also had Spanish lessons, and international students from Mexico seemed very happy to respond.

After giving a simple instruction of flamenco and turning around in dance, Ole! I felt that my back was stretched and my posture improved.

Tomoko Ishii is also involved, and it is a gorgeous and exciting flamenco dance.

I received a leaflet for admission guidance. I'm thinking of getting into the "Introduction Class".

If you would like to experience flamenco or introduce it, we recommend Tomoko Ishii Studio in Ginza 1-chome near you.

 This is an international exchange gathering that I look forward to every year. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all the staff.

It was a lot of fun this year. In Spanish, Muchas Gracias!

Matsurizushi

[Oldrose] 18:00 on November 24, 2015

 Nov. 14 at Nihonbashi Yamamoto-noriten as a "Nover Fun Party"

Dr. Atsuko Furukawa of the Chiba Prefectural regional cuisine Study Group

I had the opportunity to make "Festival Shizushi" in front of me.

 

First, a quiz about glue.

Next was the teacher's demonstration.

 

I also wanted to make a decorative sushi roll,

That's right, with the teacher's strong hand,

Everyone else was sighing too.

 

I can also experience the first petal paste,

It felt like I had a little trick.

 

The classroom is wrapped in sushi rice and the smell of seaweed with good fragrance,

In a limited time, I was able to ask the teacher even after finishing.

 

Finally, I would like to introduce the history of Yamamoto-noriten,

It is also decorated with Yoko Yamamoto's Guinness certificate.

I was able to find out at this event.

Please join us next time.

At the special venue on the 8th floor of Nihonbashi Takashimaya, the "Little Prince Prince and I" exhibition is being held in conjunction with the release of the movie of the same name.

The movie "Little Prince and I" is the first film adaptation of the children's literature "Prince of the Star" as an animation, and will be released at movie theaters nationwide from November 21 (Saturday).

The exhibition period is from Thursday, November 19 to December 1 (Tuesday).

This exhibition is authorized by director Mark Osborne of the movie, and displays more than 100 items such as puppet dolls used in actual shooting and clay dolls that became the prototype of the character image.

There is also a sales corner for making videos and limited goods that capture the production site, so not only those who watched the movie but also the original fans can enjoy it.

In the interview video of the creator, which was flowing at the venue, I was impressed that the comment that "I wanted to create a very realistic picture book world" was exactly the work I realized.

The fusion of stop motion animation and CG is wonderful

You can take photos inside the venue.
