This is the annual Bon Dance Festival at Tsukiji Honganji, but this year marks the 70th anniversary.

The event will be held from Wednesday, August 2 to 5 (Sat), and the event will be held from 19:00 to 21:00, but on 5th (Sat), the time will go up and from 18:00 to 20:30 .

　

It is also popular as "the specialty of Japan's most delicious Bon Odori" written on the poster. That's because a famous store in Tsukiji, a Japanese food kitchen, opens and you can eat delicious food.

　Customers can see not only Tsukiji but also from Chuo-ku, but also from overseas, join Bon Odori, and enjoy gourmet during the interval. Why don't you actually participate and enjoy not the dream of midsummer night?

"Li Keiko Exhibition Vol.6" is currently being held at REIJINSHA GALLERY, located on the first basement floor of the Mitsuwa Building, Ginza 6-chome.

The first floor of the Mitsuwa Building is Mr. Miwa, a jewelry store.

This is the 6th exhibition of Keiko Lee at this gallery.

When you step into the gallery, colorless glassware, vases, and objects are displayed in a white venue.

Lighting creates very beautiful shadows on tableware, vases, and objects hanging from the ceiling.

This is a wonderful exhibition unique to this gallery.

The period is from Friday, July 14 to 28 (Fri).

The opening hours are from 12:00 to 19:00, and the closing days are Monday.

The last day is until 17:00.

The gallery on the first basement floor is so quiet that you can enjoy the work slowly in a quiet and calm atmosphere that you can not imagine just entering one from the main street in Ginza.

The space where you can forget the summer heat and spend a pleasant and fulfilling time is wonderful.

Please come by all means

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

Thank you very much

At St. Luke's First Gallery in front of the restaurant on the 1st floor of the main building of St. Luke's Main Building, 9-1 Akashicho, "Shonoro Yamanaka's Works Exhibition-Nyan One, Familiar Animals Drawed by Pastel-" is being held.

When I visited, I was able to hear directly from Mr. Yamanaka who came to the gallery.

Yamanaka has been holding an exhibition at this gallery since the first exhibition in 2001, and this is the 30th time ().

It seems that all the works are pastel paintings, but while there are works that draw in detail one by one of the hairs of cats and dogs, there are also humorous works with completely different touches, so I can not imagine it as the work of the same writer, I am surprised

Yamanaka's work is wonderful not only because it is drawn in detail, but also the casual expressions and gestures of cats and dogs are captured.

Goods such as cards and one-stroke notes are also on sale.

The event will be held from Monday, July 17 to 22 (Sat), and the time is from 9 am to 5 pm

The last day is from 10am to 4pm.

Mr. Yamanaka says that if he gives him a picture, he will draw portraits of his cat and dog, and I think he will draw his dog at home.

Mr. Yamanaka's consent was given to the photography at the gallery, and Mr. Yamanaka gave us a kind and polite explanation. Thank you very much
