“June Daikabuki” - Kabukiza Theater

1. June 9, 2017 16:00

When Sadanji's `` Hoshikage Doemon '' appeared on the main flower path, and Nizaemon's `` Gosho Gorozo '' appeared on the temporary flower path with their unders, the inside of the hall was suddenly excited by the too coolness, and the dialogue over the two flower path The audience seats are completely part of the stage. This is "Kabuki". This time, "Sogamoyota Teshino Imperial Palace (Zome)" (Gorozo Gosho) is a performance of "Gojo-zaka Nakanocho", "Koya inner room", and "Konouchi Night Stay Up". There is no place to cut off the sadistic "Tokitori Kill" and Ozume's Goro Kura. Along with Sparrow Uemon who plays Satsuki, the crest of Japanese lantern along Yoshiwara is also connected to Kyoya. There was a line that I was a little worried about, so in 2015 and 2015, I was asked to show two performance scripts recently, and when I look at the complete collection of silent Ami, the line changes little by little depending on the combination of actors and actors I realized again. When I was young, I was only looking at the fun of the muscles and the appearance of the actors, but with age, I gradually became interested in the details. Koshiro, who has been half a year until the 3rd generation of parents and descendants in January next year, will perform in "Kamakura Sandaiki" and Shin Hasegawa's new Kabuki "One Sword Tawarairi". The ivy of "one sword" is Sarunosuke.

It is a well-known play in which Shigebei Komagata, who is dressed as Koshiro-san, who became a servant 10 years later and helped the ivy parent and child who was benefited. I can't see it) It is very surprising that Shigerubei, who was a striking figure, appears as a dashing foreigner.

In the lunch section, why don't you feel refreshed at "Mezuki Hachiman Festival" (Shinsuke Shuya), "Ukiyo Bath", "Gosho Sakuraborigawa Night Study", Kabuki?

Gallery Night Party 2017 Art Appreciation is delicious and fun

[Silver] June 9, 2017 14:00

 The Gallery Night Party 2017 was held grandly on May 26, with 21 galleries in Ginza participating.

First of all, Ginza Yanagi Gallery. The "Hiro Okano Exhibition" was being held, and the artist explained the scenes of the work.

Japanese clothes in the gallery! Ryuishi, the customers of the gallery in Ginza are elegant. It's a great picture. The prepared wine, canape, was very delicious.

Next, I visited Nichido Gallery. Nichido Gallery was entitled "The 54th Taiyo Exhibition" to commemorate the 90th anniversary of its founding, and was exhibited in one hall from late masters representing modern Japanese Western painting to up-and-coming expected new artists. I asked some questions here, but I was able to tell you carefully. The wine was also delicious.

 At Akika-do, the work of Kuniyoshi Utagawa of Ukiyo-e and the work of Hiroo Suzuki's painter "Sakata Kaidomaru" attracted attention.

 At Nagai Gallery, I was able to listen to the story of Koshi Takagi, and talked about surprises at the work shown in the photo.

In addition, I visited three galleries, but I will omit it due to space limitations.

The fun tour of the gallery in Ginza was close to the dusk, and it was the end time in no time. Next time, I would like to visit during the Christmas season. I'm looking forward to it.

Ametakean Bonsai Exhibition at GSIX 6F Tsutaya Bookstore until June 14th (Wednesday)

[Silver] June 8, 2017 18:00

 At Tsutaya Bookstore on the 6th floor of Ginza Six, you can be surprised with a strange idea as soon as it opens.

In the center of the 6th floor, I think it's a bookstore, I can read books sitting in the library style, and there are customers drinking coffee there. The concept on the 6th floor is art, books, cafes and restaurants.

Last month, we held the Yayoi Kusama Exhibition, but this month we are holding the “Beauty of Bonsai” exhibition until June 14 in collaboration with Ametakean of Ginza 7-chome.

 The photo is one of the wonderful bonsai trees on display.

It is a popular GSIX for a while, but I think it would be wise to go out slowly on weekdays.

 

 

Tokyo Minato matsuri

[saru] June 7, 2017 14:00

Hello, my name is Saru.

 

May 28 I went to Tokyo Minato matsuri, which was held at Harumi's passenger ship terminal.

 

Take the Edo bus and get off at Harumi 3-chome and walk while watching the construction site of the Olympic Athlete Village in 12 or 3 minutes to the venue.

At 10:30, we arrived at 9:40 as early as possible to watch the “Firefighting Pageant of Water” by the Tokyo Fire Department, which started at 10:30, but quite a few customers have already received it....。 But I was able to keep this position.

 

The curtain of the pageant has risen from the parade of the little children of the boy fire brigade in Kyobashi, Nihonbashi, and harbor in Chuo-ku.

And the protagonist of this event is the appearance of eight fire boats and three helicopters.

The simultaneous water discharge of the fire boat was very beautiful and powerful like a fountain blowing up from the sea.

In the exhibition training, there was a rescue from the helicopter, and the explosive sound that went up close was impressive.

 

It seems that Japan's water firefighting began with the donation of a fire boat to the Kyobashi Fire Station Tsukiji Branch Office in 1936, and Chuo-ku is closely related to the water firefighting. By the way, the nickname of the fire boat at this time, "Miyakodori", has been handed down to the name of the largest fire boat to which I belong now.

 

On the stage of the venue, the Fire and Disaster Management Agency Music Band performed, stalls lined up, and it was an event that both adults and children could enjoy by opening escort ships and dredging boats.

DSC02457a.jpgBefore the opening to the public on the first day of the event, we specially interviewed the venue.

Cross in front of the showcase on the first floor of the shop, take the elevator on the back left to the second floor.

 

The staff can guide you to the venue where the lighting is turned off with a penlight. There are fireflies on the top and side.

The number is about 600 to 800, majestic. Fireflies, the light of life for about two weeks is flashing.

 

I guess Ginza once had reached such early summer.

The light of fireflies was ephemeral, strict, and very beautiful.

This firefly viewing party cannot be held for a long time. Please enjoy it as soon as possible.

 

During this exhibition, there are special events on each floor of this building.

On the second floor, there is a plum wine service called "Plum Hotaru".
