It is an unusual oval-shaped (elliptical) theater.

A panoramic view of Tsukiji Market and Hamarikyu Garden

[Dharma] June 28, 2017 18:00

During the rainy season, the Tsukiji, Tsukishima and Harumi areas could be seen from the observation space on the 46th floor east of Carletta Shiodome. Below you are the Tsukiji Market (opened in 1935), which is about 23 hectares, five minutes of Tokyo Dome, and the Hamarikyu Onshi Garden (approximately 25 hectares), which is designated as a national special scenic spot and special historic site. Earlier, Tsukiji Ohashi, which is scheduled to open in line with the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, next to it is Kachidokibashi, completed in 1940, and Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge, which was built in the year of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics.

"The Shape Can't Fly" Exhibition [Megumi Ogita Gallery]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] June 20, 2017 09:00

fusig001.JPG

At the "Megumi Ogita Gallery", a gallery on the first basement floor of the Ginza Otsuka Building in Ginza 2-chome, a new solo exhibition by Ayumu Fushiguro, "The Shape of Flying" is being held.

fusig002.JPG

This is the sixth solo exhibition by Mr. Fushiguro at the gallery.

fusig003.JPG

The first impression is "mysterious, non-flying bird" still life painting ""

You can see that the object being drawn is a bird, but its body is like a figurine, just above the neck (especially the eyes) and seems to be appealing for something, and you will stare at it It has such power.

fusig004.JPG

It seems that acrylic paints, sprays, and watercolor paints are used, but their colors, dents, and blur are different for each work and are interesting.

fusig005.JPG

When I asked the gallery, Mr. Fushiguro's work "evolving" every time he held a solo exhibition at this gallery. It was said that there was a period of "three-dimensional painting" () that treated clay in the same way as paint and created it, and has it been changed to a more abstract expression from there?

fusig007.JPG

This time, a new exhibition of ceramic works is also being held.

fusig008.JPG

In my understanding and expressiveness, it is difficult to convey at all, and this is a new solo exhibition by a writer with mysterious charm and power that makes you want to confirm it with your own eyes.

Even if I don't have enough understanding, I think the title "I can't fly" is very appropriate.

fusig006.JPG

The event will be held from Friday, June 9 to July 1 (Sat).

Opening hours are from 11:00 to 19:00, and are closed on Sundays, moons and public holidays.

In addition, this time, we received your consent for photography and coverage in the gallery.

Thank you very much

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] June 18, 2017 16:00

kontyu001.JPG

The Noevia Ginza Gallery is located on the first floor of the Noevia Ginza headquarters building facing Ginza 7-chome, Namiki-dori St.

kontyu002.JPG

Currently, there is a photo and paper cut exhibition "Insects in Paradise" by Mitsuhiko Imamori.

It seems that Mr. Imamori's exhibition will be held at this gallery for the fifth time.

kontyu003.JPG

Mr. Imamori is from Shiga Prefecture, and his photography technology was learned by himself. As a freelance photographer, he set up an atelier in the countryside overlooking Lake Biwa, pursues the relationship between nature and people with the concept of "satoyama", while visiting countries around the world to pursue the ecology of living things and wide-ranging the world It seems that he is covered.

kontyu004.JPG

Using two different methods, two-dimensional photography and three-dimensional paper cutting, the same artist expresses "insects of paradise".

kontyu005.JPG

Mr. Imamori's paper cut exhibition held here last year was a so-called "cut-out picture", which was expressed in a two-dimensional manner in a wide range of fields from mammals to reptile and insects, and this time, in addition to vivid color photographs, insects were expressed three-dimensionally using colored paper and translucent clear files, and I was surprised that the atmosphere was different from rats.

kontyu006.JPG

The color picture is beautiful.

kontyu010.JPG

And the beetles that are about to fly off by spreading the front and rear wings, the grasshoppers that are jumping, and the dragonfly's "paper craft" works that seem to stop at the tip of the branch are realistic and wonderful.

kontyu011.JPG

The event will be held from Monday, June 12 to September 1 (Fri).

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

kontyu007.JPG

It is also held during the summer vacation season in August, so if you come to Ginza or take a stroll around Namiki-dori St., please stop by.

kontyu008.JPG

In addition, photography in the gallery was prohibited, and we received special consent and photographed. Thank you very much

Enjoy a Nihonbashi Cruise with a Dome-type VR Theater

[Slow of Satsuki's Koi] June 17, 2017 09:00

Virtual Reality (VR) "Enjoy the Nihonbashi Cruise with a Dome-type VR Theater"

Location Suitengu Soba Tokyo City Air Terminal 2F May 20-June 3

 

VR1.JPG

.

VR2.JPG

 

Using a fisheye lens in such a special dome, I enjoyed the Nihonbashi cruise with a fairly wide range of images.

 

Route. jpg

 

The course departs from Nihonbashi → Reigishi Bridge → Minami Takahashi → Eitai Bridge → Sumida River Ohashi → Cheongju Bridge

Although the clarity is somewhat lacking, the image spreads overall, and some people seem to be seasicker.

Since there was no commentary, I will briefly guide you to some bridges.

Minami Takahashi_1.JPG 

Minami Takahashi_2.JPG

Minami Takahashi Part of the former Ryogoku Bridge, which was damaged by the Great Kanto Earthquake, is reinforced and used. It is the most historic bridge in the road bridge.

 

 

Eitai Bridge (no photo) Celebrating the 50th year of the 5th Shogun Tsunayoshi Tokugawa in 1698, it was bridged about 100 meters upstream from its current location, and there is a stone monument at that location. It's a powerful impression.

 

 

 

Sumida River Ohashi _1.JPG

Sumida River Ohashi It is the only two-story structure in Sumida River.

 

 

Kiyosu Bridge (No photo) This is a beautiful suspension bridge against the powerful Eitai Bridge.

Eitai Bridge, Kiyosu Bridge, and Kachidokibashi (which do not appear here) are designated as important cultural properties of the country.

 

 

The cruise broadcast time was a shortened version of about 5 minutes.   It seems that it is currently being created because I have received other requests.

In addition to the VR theater, there were also photos provided by the Chuo-ku Tourism Association.

 

Finally, the Chinese restaurant "Ryu Otori", which is also on the second floor of Tokyo City Air Terminal, is well received.
