Many of the posters exhibited in the first semester were famous, such as the Tokyo 1964 Olympics, the Osaka World Exposition, and the Hiroshima Appeals, but in the second semester, the famousness is inferior to the previous year, but now it is still fresh and beautiful.

Posters such as "Sofu Teshigahara solo exhibition", "Nikkoll lens", "Nikon camera", "Yamagiwa international lighting exhibition", "UCLA Japanese classical performing arts invitation commemorative" etc.

There are many works that make full use of curves, straight lines, and graphic designs.

Some of the figures reminded me of traditional Japanese shapes and shapes, which was interesting.

Please enjoy the exhibition of Mr. Kamekura, a pioneer in the graphic design world in Japan and a global graphic designer.

Chuo-ku Real Treasure Hunting Event "Oedo Treasure Biden!" I'm here♪

[Edamame] 09:00 on October 7, 2017

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.


I'm with children ... Actually, I really like quizzes, brain training, mystery solving games, etc.

Some of you who read this blog

I think there are many such people, but how about?


What I'm getting caught up recently is the event called "Real Treasure Hunting".

Takarash! There's a company like this.

http://www.takarush.jp/

Solve the mystery and actually go to the place where the mystery showed.

It's about finding clues to treasure more and more.

I knew for the first time this winter, but since then.

I'm having a lot of fun.

DSC_1900-1.jpg

One of them is the "phantom cherry blossoms" that was held in Nihonbashi this spring.

http://www.takarush.jp/promo/nihonbashi2017/

I really liked how to show it to the bright final point. Fufufufufu.

It was an event that was introduced on the correspondent blog at that time.

/archive/2017/03/201731649.html


And at this year's Chuo-ku Tourism and Commerce Festival...

DSC_1918-1.jpg

Takarash! Collaboration event with

"Oedo Treasure Biden! Look for the legendary Ukiyo-e! ~」

It's started!

http://www.takarush.jp/promo/chuo2017/

Of course, Edamame is full of motivation.

I've been working hard on the first day.


Can you solve the mystery with children? Some of you may think about it.

I think there are some parts that can be overcome with ingenuity.


1: Before you go out, check the mystery itself on your home PC.

If you solve the mystery on the go, you will have to wait for the children on the spot ...

I wonder if it is better to solve the mystery itself in advance.

Brochures are distributed at ward offices and ward centers, etc.

The "Treasure Map" is posted on Takarash's website.

You can check it while you are at home in advance.

Click here to download this one. → http://www.takarush.jp/promo/chuo2017/#map_link

If you do so, you can calculate the shortest route of "in what order to go around" the place where mystery shows "".


2: We will also incorporate the fun of children.

Just being taken by parents, even children are boring.

So ... "I'm going to take that train!"

"It looks a bit tasty. Why don't you try it?"

Say to my daughter Azuki (2 years old) also loves "eat-walking gourmet snack"

(If you know what you are eating, it will be a great hint, so this photo will not be uploaded.)

"You can see the boat from the river!"

DSC_1928-1.jpg

What do you do?

Also, if the park is nearby, I will play it there.

Even if it may be a bit detour, if you incorporate a lot of fun things

I think it's a little fun.

(↑ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ This is not the only hint of "where and how did you go?" Maybe.

 The mystery solving event is everyone's promise to "prohibition of spoilage".

 You should never take away everyone's "fun to solve mysteries." )

It's a secret about solving this mystery itself! But...

It was relatively easy to solve and the number of problems was small.

It seems that even elementary school students can work on it.

In fact, it was probably an athletic meet on the weekend, so I thought it would be closed on transfer holidays.

I've encountered quite a bit around the place where mysteries point.

And I think that the number of problems is small = I can act comfortably.

It seems that you can enjoy shopping a little near "the place pointed to by mysteries" or have plenty of time.


If you unravel all mysteries and find a treasure chest ...

Let's go to the Chuo-ku Tourist Information Center!

DSC_1934-1.jpg

※Here, we took care of various things before taking the Chuo-ku sightseeing test conducted in February this year.

 I'll probably visit you before you take the sightseeing test in January next year. Thank you very much.



Let me show you the answer to the person in charge of the counter

You can get an application form, so fill in the necessary information and post it to the special post! !

That's right. Those who discover the treasure chest at this event are waiting for luxurious prizes by lottery.

http://www.takarush.jp/promo/chuo2017/#prize_link

JTB travel ticket 100,000 yen, I wonder if it's worth it ...

Dreams are big! I'm going to sleep and wait (laughs).

And as a participation prize

DSC_1944-1.jpg

One postcard from Chuo-ku.

Takarash! You can get digital items that can be collected in the dedicated site.

There were various types of postcards in Chuo-ku.

You can choose slowly at the tourist information center.


That's why the "real treasure hunt" event that enjoyed and went around the city.

It will be held from today (October 2) to November 3 (Friday).

Everyone, please try it out.

"Fukutoku Festival" will be held this month!

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] 09:00 on October 6, 2017

The autumn festival is finally the season of the autumn festival, and the Fukutoku Festival will be held on Sunday, October 22, in the area around Fukutoku Shrine in Nihonbashi.

tomiku111.jpg

This festival is a relatively new festival that was started to commemorate the completion of the new shrine of Fukutoku Shrine in 2014, but it is increasing year by year with the luxury of "Fukutokukuji" and various events on the day It is a festival that is

tomiku006.jpg

The event is hosted by the Nihonbashi Kitazume Store Association.

The Nihonbashi Kitazume Store Association merged with the former Nihonbashi Muromachi / Honmachi Store Association and the former Nihonbashi Muromachi 1-chome Store Association for the purpose of commercial promotion in the Kitazume area of Nihonbashi (Muromachi, Honmachi, and Honishimachi). It is said that it was born in June 2011.

Currently, it consists of more than 100 stores, residents, and local companies.

tomiku004.JPG

Speaking of the "Fukutoku Festival", the highlight is the "Fukutoku Kuji", where luxurious prizes are awarded, but prior to the festival, "Vouchers" have already begun.

tomiku001.JPG

From October 2nd (Monday), you can participate in the lottery by shopping around Kitazume in Nihonbashi, getting this "exchange ticket", and exchanging it for "Fukutoku lottery" on the day.

Even on the day, you can get a "voucher" if you shop at the festival venue.

tomiku002.JPG

This "Fukutoku lottery" is named after the "Fukutoku lottery" that was held during the Edo period. At Fukutoku Shrine, at least during the Bunsei and Tenpo eras, the shogunate-approved lottery "Omentomi" was held. It seems that it was

According to "Edo Daitomishu", which is said to be published at the end of Bunsei, Fukutoku Inari Kogyo's lottery has a maximum amount of 300 cars (current value is about 40 million yen), which is held four times a year It seems that it was the highest () among the shrines of the performance.

Does it mean that it is a high-priced lottery because it is a venerable Fukutoku Shrine that is also related to Shogun Ieyasu Tokugawa and Hidetada?

tomiku003.JPG

On the day of the festival, the lottery will be announced in the "Futtsu" method in which the wooden tag in the lottery box is pierced with a cone, imitating the venerable Fukutoku Shrine's "Futkuji".

The upper and lower photos show the lottery scenery of last year. Mr. Yasuto Yamamoto, Chairman of the Nihonbashi Kitazume Store Association, piercing the wooden tag.

You can hear the beautiful voice of the eighth generation Bunraku, reading the best wealth in the rakugo story "Tomihisa", "Matsuno Hyakujuban", "Matsuno Hyakujuban".

Learn the food culture of Edo at Kabukiza Theater

[May rain George] 09:00 on October 4, 2017

 Kabukiza in Ginza, Chuo-ku has restaurants on the 2nd and 3rd floors. You can have a meal at Kabuki during the intermission, and in addition to Makunouchi Bento, there are menus such as sushi (* reservations must be made up to 2 days before the theater).

 

gk13_. Kabukiza Theater 1.JPG And the restaurant "Hanago" on the third floor is also used as a variety of event spaces. This time, we have participated in a collaboration seminar with Kabukiza Tochikuma University (Chikuma Shobo) held on September 28 (Thursday), so I will briefly tell you the details.

  

 

 The title is "Food Diary of Lower Samurai".

 

 Based on a diary left in detail by Banshiro Sakai, a member of the Kishu Wakayama Domain (a samurai who was transferred alone) in the Edo period, Mr. Naomi Aoki, who is familiar with drama eras, became a lecturer, `` Edo's surprise eating habits ".

 

As is said to be "Edo Ichi, Osaka 2, and Kyosan", Edo food, which is gathered from all over the country in sankin kotai and other places, is the most delicious, and "Japanese food", which is currently attracting worldwide attention, seems to have been completed in Edo. Thanks to the rich Edo Bay, the catch of seafood was the highest in Japan.

 

 Furthermore, due to infrastructure development and the large number of fires, craftsmen from all over the country gathered to support the stomach of Edo, which has become a large city with a population of more than 1 million, a vegetable production area was created in the suburbs and the distribution system was improved. Was. Nerima / Kameido radish, Komatsuna from Komatsugawa, Senju / Sunamura / Oi green onions, Taninaka ginger, Meguro bamboo shoots, Fuchu / Sunamura's makuwa melon, etc. ..

170928_ Hanagoge 4.jpg

 

 In addition, he taught me various knowledge about Edo period food as follows. (The photo above is Dr. Aoki's book)

 

A lower-ranking samurai who was transferred alone lived together with a few of them.

●"Nihachi soba" originally started when the price of 16 sentences were fashionable and said "28-16". In addition, there were 27 soba, 29 soba, 37 soba, and 38 soba, but the wide and auspicious eight is preferred, and 28 and 38 (24 sentences) are common. It was in late Tokugawa shogunate that I started to say about the combination of buckwheat flour and bridging. Soba became popular in Edo because there were many watermills in Tamagawajosui, where a large amount of soba could be ground into flour.

●Most of the time, they were drinking hot. Choshi was used after the end of the Tokugawa period, and until then, it was hot with "chirori" (made of metal). When people gathered, it was commonplace to drink sake first.

●The set with legs was for meals, and at the banquet, he used a set without legs (Obon).

●The meat (pork, wild boar, deer, etc.) was also quite familiar. They were also selling meat at the stall. He said, "Yakugui" and said, "I'm eating medicine instead of a beast."

●The bonito was eaten with mustard instead of garlic or ginger.

●Most of the samurai who climbed Edo Castle had lunch boxes and did not eat out. When the samurai ate out, they hid their faces with Tenugui or a hood.

●Even among the townspeople, the upper people seemed to have little eating out.

●It was normal for tempura to be fried at home (because it would be a fire). It was sold at a stall.

●With the spread of oil, night meals have become common (because the lights have become available).

●Tea was a man's pleasure.

●At the store, they were eating and drinking, going up to the parlor or sitting on the porch. There were no tables and chairs in barrels, which were often seen in historical dramas.

 

・・・・・・・・・・・・

170928_ Hanagoge 1.jpg And after the lecture, it's time to eat. We had a dish that reproduced a part of the meal of a lower-class samurai that was eaten in Edo in late Tokugawa shogunate. Under the guidance of Dr. Aoki, this dish was specially cooked for this day in a basket (right photo).

 

 A variety of events and study sessions are held every month at Hanago, a restaurant in the Kabukiza Theater. In addition to restaurants, the event has meals and souvenirs, and it seems that there are many events with high satisfaction.

 

 In addition, Hanagoro can be used by the general public as a space for meetings, seminars, social gatherings, and various parties.
