At the Tokyo Marathon 2016 Chuo-ku Tourism Association booth

[Silver] February 28, 2016 20:00

 An exhibition and sale event that also serves as a city PR in Tokyo, sponsored by the Tokyo Marathon 2016, is being held.

On February 27, I went to Tokyo Big Sight.

On this day, Shiho Shingu, the 31st Chuo-ku Tourism Ambassador, Miss Chuo, greeted me with a smile.

I was able to take a commemorative two-shot, but unfortunately both photos show the faces of ordinary customers clearly and cannot be announced.

 At the booth of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association, hand towels printed with Skanda of Daikanonji are popular, and they are on sale!

"Kendama" was popular among the children who visited.

By the way, for shopping, I purchased 5 bags of "Tonben" beef soboro soft sprinkle

(Gomoku cooked rice ingredients have been purchased at Nihonbashi stores since last year.)

Mr. Takara Tsukuda Co., Ltd. tasted Tsukudani and purchased three bags of his favorite "clam" Tsukudani.

This product seems to be sold at Kibikicho Square in Kabukiza, so please come!

It goes without saying that breakfast has progressed the next morning.

 

 

Chibagin "Himawari Gallery"

[Marsha Horiuchi of Edo] February 26, 2016 12:00

I stopped by Chiba Bank's "Himawari Gallery" on the 4th floor of COREDO Muromachi 3.

That's because I saw a manga called "Image of the Phantom of Nihonbashi Monogatari" (Hiroyuki Mitsuo Exhibition).

Set around the Nihonbashi Kirin statue, youkai slid and fell with humans.
Is this a place where the wind is blowing, to me of the Gegege no Kitaro generation?
It was a very hot art.

In a stressful society, I feel that the time to immerse yourself in such a different world is very fun.

 

After having lunch in the neighborhood of Nihonbashi Muromachi, we took a break and went to an art space in different worlds.
Why don't you go out, these youkai are waiting until 3/21.
(Free admission, closed on Monday, and exhibitions seem to be replaced every month, mainly by artists living in Chiba.)

This is the 7th exhibition in Ginza, Tokyo.

Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe, Ken-san, Tora-san, Elvis Presley, Sean Connery, Johnny Dep, Daniel Craig (now James Bond), and in the sports world, Kei Nishikori, Shohei Otani, Ayumu Goromaru, etc. are exactly star on parade.

There was also a portrait of a star drawn only with a horizontal line (freehand) (Mr. Handa original), I was overwhelmed by the variety of techniques and expression methods, and I felt the passion of the author for a caricature that did not deform.

This is an exhibition that I would like you to see up close.

The photographing in the gallery was approved by the person himself.

Thank you very much

The upper sidewalk of the Tokyo Marathon 2016 Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge is not allowed <Emergency Information>

[Silver] February 24, 2016 18:00

 Everyone who is looking forward to supporting and watching the Tokyo Marathon 2016

The upstream sidewalk of Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge is undergoing seismic work on the bridge, and the iron bridge from Minato 3-chome side to the bridge has been removed.

 

On February 24, we were just working on sending concrete with a pump truck.

1456285702923.jpg

 For support and watching on Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge, please use the overpass that rises from the Akashicho side.

Just above, there is a stud at 36km point, but it is the upstream side where it cannot pass.

This point is a little slope, and it is the most difficult passing point for runners.

(Refer to the cat's blog on the slope, which was reported before.)

 

If you arrive on the upstream side by mistake, please see the "Tsukuda Island Ferry Monument" and use the pedestrian bridge on the downstream side.

I hope you will have a good support and watch the game. Silver

※It is said that this construction will continue until March 31. Please note that those who stroll around Tsukiji, Tsukuda, and Tsukishima.
