Aritodo is a book material specialty store founded in 1912.

In addition to handling brushes, ink, inkstones, Japanese paper, and pigments, we also tailor framed and shafts.

Everyone is fine even in the rain! "Chuo-ku Children's Festival"

[Edamame] October 19, 2017 16:00

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.

October 15 (Sun), when it became cold at a stretch due to rain.

The 38th Chuo-ku Children's Festival was held at Hamacho Park, near my home.

The target is "about 3 years old to elementary school students"

I went with my little flying daughter Azuki (2 years and 4 months).

 

17-10-16-10-56-04-655_deco-1.jpg

Well, the weather was just one.

There are so many children!

It was quite busy.

Probably, children (+ their parents) come from all over the city.

 
The guide map for rainy days was also prepared in advance.

DSC_2041-1.jpg

It seems that there were many places where the place of the event changed between sunny and rainy weather.

This is thankful.

 

The "General Sports Center", which is always taken care of, is also the venue.

DSC_2055-1.jpg

 

To the main stadium on the 2nd floor where you usually have no chance to enter.

17-10-16-10-59-32-374_deco-1.jpg

There is a large "air athletic" in the shape of a dog

(Nihonbashi 4 Division District Committee)

DSC_2060-1.jpg

There is a peacekeeping battle. (Tsukishima Daini Elementary and Young)

I couldn't take a picture, but it seems that there was also a track out (center small).

・・・ Let's try these when the azuki grows a little more.

The trampoline was "from 3 years old."

It's a bit advanced to kick a soccer ball toward the goal ...
 
 
Instead.

DSC_2057-1.jpg

I tried shooting (Yasuaki small) (with two-person haori).

DSC_2058-1.jpg

・・It's hard! (My mother)

But I got a prize.

Azuki chooses hair rubber by himself. I'm 2 years old, but I'm a girl.

 
On the outside ground

DSC_2040-1.jpg

There is a fire truck riding experience corner (Nihonbashi Fire Station).

(Azuki didn't stubbornly try to ride ...)
 

In the tent in the park

The work corner of each elementary school and kindergarten in the city was a great success.

Among them, I was able to do it.

DSC_2043-1.jpg

Soap "Decoupage" (Sakamoto Ko)

Decorate cute sheet by attaching it to soap.

Next, ...

DSC_2046-1.jpg

Roll it down...

DSC_2049-1.jpg

"Super Ball Making" (Hisatsu Elementary / Young)

 

Colorful shape that comes out when you cut black paper!

DSC_2066-1.jpg

"Rainbow Paper Art" (Akimasa Ko)

 
And put cute balls, illustrations, beads, sand ...

DSC_2067-1.jpg

"Kirakira ★ Aqua Dome" (Akashi Elementary / Young)

 

When I was two years old, I still have no words.

"Which is better" came out

And I was able to convey it to my mother.

So, "Which kind of soap pattern is better?"

"What color should I put the ball inside?"

When you hear it, they say, "This."

Because I have that one cushion

There will be a feeling that "I chose myself" or "I tried it myself".

He grabbed what he made at each booth with enthusiasm and walked through Hamacho Park with a smiley face.

Even after returning home, I held the soap and said, "Soap! Just! I was in a good mood.

 

Next year, I'll be able to do more ...

I would like to look forward to the next year's Children's Festival.

 

 

This weekend, "Fukutoku Festival" finally!

Hakutsuru Ginza Tenku Farm Rice Harvesting-Hakuzuru Sake Brewery-

[rosemary sea] October 18, 2017 16:00

It's rosemary sea, which supplies "gifts and enjoy yourself."

 

Hakutsuru Ginza Style (HAKUTSURU GINZA STYLE), who always introduces seminars, is located in the Tokyo branch office building of Hakutsuru Sake Brewery Co., Ltd. headquartered in Kobe.

 

This time, we introduce "Hakuzuru Ginza Tenku Farm" on the roof of this Ginza building.

As part of disseminating sake, Hakutsuru Sake Brewery has created "Hakutsuru Ginza Tenku Farm" as a project to make rice on the roof of the Tokyo branch office building since 2007, and cultivated its own sake rice "Hakutsuru Nishiki". I am working on it.

DSC02962a.jpg

DSC02963a.jpg DSC02965a.jpg

This year, "Hakuzuru Nishiki", which was planted in June, grew steadily, and the harvest time has come.

Today (October 14) is the long-awaited rice harvesting.

DSC02967a.jpg DSC_5294a.jpg

This time, Hakutsuru Ginza Tenku Farm Manager: Mr. Asami Oda and Mr. Matsushita, Deputy General Manager of Sales Division, Hakutsuru Sake Brewery Co., Ltd.

 

DSC02991a.jpg

Here, about Hakutsuru Sake Brewery's original sake rice "Hakutsuru Nishiki" ...

In order to develop excellent sake rice, the breeding of Hakutsuru Nishiki was started to elucidate the excellent characteristics of Yamada Nishiki, the best varieties of sake rice, and to develop even better sake rice.

In 1995, we started crossing the variety "Wataribune", the father of Yamada Nishiki, and the mother "Yamadabo", and registered the excellent variety as "Hakutsuru Nishiki" in 2007.

 

What is an excellent sake rice (sakamai)?

The preferred properties include "large grain", "low protein and fat", "large white heart", and "high absorption rate".

 

What is "Shinpaku"?

It refers to the starch in the center of rice suitable for sake brewing, the part that looks white and opaque.

The starch tissue is coarse, so it looks white.

 

And the features of "Hakuzuru Nishiki" are ...

Compared to Yamada Nishiki, the number of grains and heart whites is similar to that of Yamada Nishiki.

Therefore, the taste when you drink it is deep.

DSC_5306a.jpg

DSC02968a.jpg

The weather on this day stopped raining and cloudy. It's miraculous.

After the greetings of the farm manager, Miss Sake, the signal of the farm manager is to harvest rice and start.

The rice is harvested from the sake rice "Hakuzuru Nishiki".

It is the harvest of rice, which is a raw material for sake.

The following week, leaving the amount of the elementary school students to cut, four sections.

Everyone who wishes to harvest rice has been harvested with a prepared sickle.

DSC02970a.jpg DSC02973a.jpg

DSC02972a.jpg

It is said that about 110 people came today.

Rice is gradually harvested, cheering from couples, friends, and parents and children.

 

DSC02974a.jpg DSC_5351a.jpg

When Miss Sake begins to mow, Mr. Kotano makes fun of it.

The composition of the customer to make it easier.

There is no laughing around the man's farm manager.

Eventually, we had a photo session around Miss Sake and Farm Manager.

DSC_5381a.jpg

 

Well, this is an interview with Mr. Kotano.

"I hope you can make use of rice harvesting as an experience.

It's rice harvesting in Ginza.

Rice grows as usual.

I would like to cut it before it rains."

  

We also interviewed Miss Sake.

2017 Miss Sake (Miss Sake) and Rinno Tanaka.

"In June, we planted rice with elementary school students here.

I've been looking forward to harvesting rice this time.

I'm glad it didn't rain today."

"Miss sake was chosen in March of this year for a one-year term.

We are working to convey the traditional culture of Japan and abroad through sake.

I'm from Osaka, but now I'm in Tokyo."

  

We also interviewed a mother with an infant who has just finished harvesting rice.

"I came from Koto-ku.

In June this year, I experienced rice planting for the first time.

I planted it just around here.

It's a valuable experience to be able to harvest rice in Tokyo.

The child is muddy."

Immediately after, my child fell in a puddle and said, "I thought I would do it (laughs)."

 

DSC02975a.jpg DSC02976a.jpg

The rice is harvested in about 30 minutes, and it is finished safely. The rice goes to the drying stage.

I can't wait for it to become a fine sake "Hakuzuru Nishiki".

Everyone who came here will have dinner in the building after this.

Kikunosuke's Newsaku Kabuki 2nd "Mahabharata Senki" Watching Record-Kabukiza Theater

1. October 14, 2017 14:00

100_2540.JPG 100_2539.JPG

Kikunosuke's second new Kabuki started in 2012 from that shocking "NINAGAWA Twelve Nights", when the audience of Kabukiza was swollen at the beginning. "Mahabharata" has only the knowledge of two major epics in India along with "Ramayana", so I was waiting a little anxious about what kind of stage it would be and whether I could understand it. When the curtain opens, Indian gods, like the introductory of Chushingura, raise their faces one by one according to Takemoto with board. The costumes of the gods such as Shiba, Brahma, and the sun god are also gorgeous. You don't have to worry about "it may be difficult" and you will be drawn into the stage in no time.

 

The rough line lets the gods share their mother in a conflicting human world, and the father sends out two brothers, Sun God and Sakra, to stop the conflict with the two people who embody "charity" and "power". Karuna, where the son of the sun god is full of compassion, and Taishakuten is an invincible child Aryuju Rai. Mercy or power will stop the battle Karona finally heads for the last battle with his enemy, Aryuju Rai, while being at the mercy of his mission. What's the difference?

 

From the long original, Karona-centered script was written by contemporary drama writer Go Aoki, and directed by Satoshi Miyagi. The main character "Karona" played by Kikunosuke, Matsuya's "Aryuju Rai" Unusually Shichinosuke plays the enemy role "Tsuru-like" princess. A luxurious caster with Kikugoro and left Danji for the gods.

 

This year marks the anniversary of the Japan-India Friendship Exchange Year, and it is a special project. I found "Original Masarachai" (8 packs 500 yen) at the stall. I'll have you immerse yourself in the lingering of the play.

100_2541.JPG

It was a hot summer day in October, but the audience also received the hot applause of the curtain call.

  

In the evening part, it is not overlooked that Tamasaburo plays Yodo-kun in the first role, such as "Kutatetori Kojo Chizuki", "Kanjin Korea Buntekan", and "Autumn Color Species". In the country, Nizaemon's `` Reigen Kame Yamahoko '', Shimbashi Enbujo was surprised by the injury of Sarunosuke, but `` One Piece '' played by Ukon and Kabuki fans are busy with fun wallets It is October.
