　It became warm, and in Nihonbashi, we went out because it was lit up in line with the Edo Sakura Festival 2017.

Nihonbashi is wonderful.　Is the surface of the water getting warmer?　The reflected light is soft.

　The illuminations between Mitsui Main Building and Mitsukoshi are also soft cherry blossoms in spring.

　Cherry blossoms are also illuminated in the Fukutoku Forest of Fukutoku Shrine.　"Sakura Andon" brings out soft light.

　Well, why don't you go to Nihonbashi tonight?

The other day, I held a beautiful pink booklet in hand and saw people walking around Nihonbashi. I was worried, and I picked up the booklet. Apparently, it turned out that they are participating in the town excursion-type real treasure hunting event "Nihonbashi treasure hunt phantom cherry blossoms-a hanging from people-".

Recently, it seems that various events have been held that combine "walking around the city" and " solving the mystery".

More Japanese Bashi Treasure Hunting Phantom Cherry Blossom-Suspension Connecting People-[March 16-April 9, 2017 Nihonbashi area]

Reiko Meguro's exhibition "Reiko Meguro Laboratory 2" is being held at REIJINSHA GALLERY, located on the first basement floor of the Tsutsuwa Building, located at the intersection of Miyuki Street and Nishi Gobangai Street in Ginza 6-chome.

The first floor of the Mitsuwa Building is "Miwa of Jewelry".

Walking along Nishi-Gobangai Street, my feet stop unintentionally because of the paintings of Gaikotsu.

Go down the stairs and go to REIJINSHA GALLERY so that you can pull it in.

The gallery on the first basement floor has a quiet and calm atmosphere that you can't imagine as the center of Ginza.

In the white gallery, impressive works are lined up.

The motifs of the works on display are mussels, insects (which are also insects as specimens), and experimental equipment like in the science room.

It seems that "inorganic laboratory" is Reiko Meguro's main theme, but I didn't feel any shade or darkness at all, but on the contrary, I felt a bright, fun warmth full of sense of life.

And the beauty of color

This is the second time that Mr. Meguro, who has received numerous awards, has held a special solo exhibition at this gallery.

So "Laboratory 2"

The transparency and texture of the glass drawn in the masterpiece are wonderful.

The event will be held from Friday, March 24 to April 7 (Fri), and the corridor will be closed on Sunday and Monday.

The opening hours are from 12:00 to 19:00, and the last day is until 17:00.

From 17:00 on April 1st (Sat), a gallery talk by Mr. Meguro will be held.

Everyone, please come and see the bright, attractive and beautiful gaikotsu

In addition, we received special consent for photography in the gallery.

Thank you very much to Mr. Meguro for his polite explanation of my poor questions.

　Ningyocho is always the home of my heart.

Today, I walked around amazake Yokocho and found a new character, rice cracker at Kameido.　He is a landlady who welcomes you with a smile whenever you visit.

　For lunch, we went out to have a restaurant Yoshimi-tei, but since customers with families were waiting, we decided to do it next time.　Ningyocho Imahan is full of group guests!

Then, while walking around, "Yes, I was inspired to visit signboard architecture built in the early Showa era."

Takayanagi Tofu shop in Ningyocho 1-chome.　The patina of the copper plate tells the history.　Next, let's come to buy freshly made tofu with chopsticks, bonito and ginger.

　In Koamicho, Kiyokawa, a famous eel restaurant.　Sunday was closed. I pledged to my heart to come next time.

Momon-sha for cafes and snacks, peach objects at the top.　I will come after eating eel on weekdays.

　You can see the splendid building of Sanken Nagaya.　It's full of yakitori here in the evening.

　After this, worship at Koami Shrine in hope of protection against misfortune and luck.　It was a fun modern building exploration tour.

The "Ken Domon Photo Exhibition Showa Children" is currently being held at Noevia Ginza Gallery on the first floor of Noevia Ginza Headquarters Building, facing Ginza 7-chome, Namiki-dori St.

Ken Domon is a photographer famous for his photographs of Buddha statues, Bunraku, and Hiroshima.

Children from the 20s to the 1930s are representative subjects of Mr. Domon.

The smiles of the children at that time are shining.

At that time, I remember that everyone was playing outside the house.

This is a photo exhibition that makes you feel energetic.

The event will be held from Tuesday, March 21 to June 9 (Friday).

The event is held from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm, and on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays it is until 5:00 pm.

This time, we also received special consent for taking photos in the gallery.

Thank you very much

　Meet with a friend in Nihonbashi. When you get off at Mitsukoshimae Station and try to enter the store from the basement, you will find a fine cherry tree at the escalator.

Usually the dark blue Japanese shop curtain is in full bloom with cherry blossoms as spring comes.

"Echigo-ya, Onushi is spring!"　And there was a definite sentence on the wall.

In the passage from Choredo Muromachi to Fukutoku Shrine, it blows away in the spring breeze. It's a pleasant spring.

　In the Nihonbashi area, the Edo Cherry Blossom Festival is held, and it seems to celebrate with illuminations in Mitsukoshi, Choledo Muromachi, and the neighborhood.

In addition to the Mitsui Main Building, an important cultural property, facilities along Chuo-dori, such as Coredo Muromachi 1 and 3, will be illuminated in the darkness of the night with a fantastic "cherry blossom color" with the motif of "cherry blossoms".
You can enjoy the cityscape of Nihonbashi, which is full of emotions dyed with beautiful and pretty light.
Schedule From March 18 (Sat) to April 9 (Sun), 2017, Location: Nihonbashi Muromachi / Yaesu area
