Speaking of the only sumo room in Chuo-ku, "Arashio Room". It is located near Kiyomasa Koji Temple, Hamacho Park. At this time of December, he goes around kindergartens in Chuo-ku to make rice cakes. rice cake making has been in public kindergartens at Akashi Kindergarten, Tsukishima Kindergarten, and Tsukishima Daiichi Kindergarten since 2007 (there are no private kindergartens in Chuo-ku). It's amazing. It is a valuable experience opportunity for children to have the sumo wrestlers make rice cakes and touch each other. It is wonderful that "Arashio Room" is actively playing an active part in the community so that sumo, which is a traditional Japanese sport, can be popular with infants.

Tsukishima Daiichi Kindergarten Mochitsuki Party We interviewed on December 19, 2017.

　

The senior group sharpened 15 go of glutinous rice from the day before mochi.

"It's white than usual rice! It's round! "I'm interested in the shape and color of the rice. It seems that some children have practiced rice sharpening at home. Looking at the sharpening juice, "It's like a Calpis! Hold it tightly and sharpen it. " Now I'm ready for rice cake making tomorrow! "The smell of rice cakes has come," and expectations for rice cake making tomorrow seem to have expanded greatly. rice cake making rice cake is about 8 hours new rice, so it is important to soak it in water from the day before.

Steamed rice cake crushed. The rice at the edge of the mortar is carefully crushed so that the mochi rice does not jump out with a pestle. rice cake making, the professional skill that makes rice cakes every year is amazing. I lift the pestle lightly, but when I experience it, it's heavy.

　

Well, let's make rice cakes. In the order of the younger group, the middle group, and the older group!

This is rice cake making for the first time when a younger group entered kindergarten. Because the pestle is heavy, I was able to have Pettan Pettan rice cake making with the support of a sumo wrestler. After this, he continued with the middle and senior groups, but when he grew up, he had a punch with his own power. The energetic shout of "Yoisho Yoisho" was also echoing throughout the schoolyard.

　

Look at making kagami mochi-It's a big mirror rice cake to decorate in kindergarten!

Seiichi Ando, an 88-year-old living in Nihonbashihamacho, made a mirror rice cake. Mr. Ando has been doing a Japanese confectionery shop called "Harugetsudo" for a long time in Nihonbashihamacho. By the time the shop was closed, confections were delivered to elementary schools and kindergartens in the city. Even after closing, I have come to the local Arima Kindergarten and Tsukishima Daiichi Kindergarten every year to make kagami mochi. The kagami mochi made by Mr. Ando seems to have formed a round round and round shape with the wind of a small fan while the rice cake was hot, and a beautiful semicircular kagami mochi was created in no time. Indeed, the expression of God's work was perfect.

　

Mr. Ando taught me how to make mini kagami mochikagami mochi.

Finally, I took on the challenge of making my kagami mochi - it was my first experience, but the mini kagami mochi that can be displayed in my house during New Year's Day.

"It's difficult to make it round" "Is this okay?" The teacher in charge said, "I heard Mr. Ando's story well." Hot rice cakes became cold and hardened quickly. When it becomes hard, it struggles with rice cakes that can no longer be fixed. However, when the mirror rice cake was completed, the face was full of smiles with a sense of accomplishment. I'm a senior group of first graders soon.

Play with a sumo wrestler. The younger group, "Hokkeyo-no-ko,"

Only 3 years old. It's special. "It's expensive! High!"

"It's expensive! It's a great pleasure to ask you! What kind of world was reflected in the children's eyes?‼

I'm eating the rice cake I've been waiting for. You are chewing and eating well. Did you know that freshly-made mochi doesn't clog your throat? Mochi on a machine has a great risk of clogging the throat, but I learned from Ando that the mochi on a pestle is OK.

　

Have a lot of hungry sumo wrestlers!

Thank you very much from 9 to 12 o'clock. I've always been helping the PTA people from rice cake making to clean up. He's a big sumo wrestler. The freshly made rice cake is delicious. The rice cakes were gone in no time.

　

It is a rice cake making event that can only be realized through the great cooperation of parents, led by PTA officers. I had been carefully prepared for this day several months ago. After all, hard for cute children. The day before, I washed rice cakes and prepared early in the morning. This year, not only mothers but also fathers came to help four people. rice cake making has a lot of hard work, so it's better to have more manpower. The operation of the rice cake making party is very difficult. Even after the rice cake making meeting ends, it will take a few days to clear the mortar. We also pay attention to the maintenance of delicate mortars. Surely the smiles of today's children will blow away the tiredness of PTA officers and parents.‼

　

Mothers and dads are busy in the home economics room of elementary school and kindergarten staff room, steaming rice cakes.

Mothers who put kinako mochi and seaweed mochi in their children's lunch box. I was impressed by the fact that they were making freshly-made mochi for the children and sumo wrestlers who eat a lot while feeling hot.

　

Sokoku Raiseki, who won the Kyushu place ten cars, rushed in while he was busy.

The child was greeted by the signboard saying, "Congratulations on the Congratulations on the Congratulations on the Arashionobe and everyone's enjoy it."

　

Mr. Shigeru Miki, principal of Tsukishima Daiichi Elementary School, who is familiar with sumo, introduced Sokoku Raiseki, and the children also went from the classroom during the break time, saying, "Congratulations on winning the Sokoku Raiseki Juryo. I was sending a lot of ale. The children's feelings were also delivered to Sokoku Raiseki. In Chuo-ku, the “One Paku Sumo Chuo-ku Tournament” is held every year at the Chuo-ku Sports Center for elementary school students. For children, the strong Sokoku Raiseki is a familiar hero. For elementary school students in Chuo-ku, it can be said that they are a longing person.

Sokoku Raiseki was born in China and never ate rice cake. I heard from a wolf in Arashio room that I recently loved freshly cooked rice cakes when I came to Japan. Immediately, freshly cooked rice cake. I think it was very delicious.

　

Finally, I spoke to your wife. Yuka Suzuki served as a member of the Board of Education in Chuo-ku until last year. It is a valuable experience for children to interact with many wrestlers since the children of Chuo-ku were young, so today we brought 10 wrestlers to rice cake making. Kindergartens in Chuo-ku, which enjoy such benefits every year, are blessed. Elementary school at Tsukishima Daini Elementary School, rice cake making, and Waseda University. I hear that rice cake making can't increase any more because it overlaps in December. That's right.

　

I wish the wrestlers of the Sokoku Raiseki and Arashio rooms more and more active, and I would like to continue to support the Arashio room.

(I photographed with the permission of Arashio room and Tsukishima Daiichi Kindergarten.)

From Tuesday, December 26 to 28 (Thursday), the year-old city of Odeko, Yagenbori fudoson, will be held in Nihonbashi. The location is Higashi Nihonbashi 2-chome, the eastern end of Chuo-ku. The nearest stations are Higashi-Nihonbashi Station and Bakuro-Yokoyama Station. It takes place in the fudoson area of Yagenbori.

　
The year-on-ichi is the last city of the year, where New Year's decorations such as shimenawa sacred ropes, winter clothing and food are sold cheaply. The remaining old cities in Tokyo are Hagoita in Asakusa and Yagenbori here. Yagenbori's year-old city was the last city in Edo Gofu, so it was called the "Noto-no-ichi". It was once cut off in the war, but the local people have resumed, and even now in Heisei, they can buy it at the beginning of the year while enjoying the Edo atmosphere.

Yagenbori was the place where Dutch studies (medicine) surgery was performed during the Edo period, and the place where the talks began. There are a number of related monuments on the premises. And it has a very mysterious cityscape. In a small town, if you walk for a few minutes, you will get to one of the major streets in Tokyo, but when you enter the Yagenbori area, such a modern hustle and bustle disappears, and you will feel the illusion of entering a town somewhere in Showa.

The best time to visit is from dusk to night.

I don't want to go shopping at such times even though it's cold and busy....I feel like that, but this is the most mysterious thing.

It is a very recommended spot for those who like to take pictures of the night view.

There's also a lion dance, and there's a lot of entertainment. You'll bite your head properly!

Many strange stories are actually transmitted to year old cities around the country. Those who died in that year came to shop, or local youkai opened a shop at night. At the end of the year, everyone is passing each other on the street corner and welcomes a new year.

The current Yagenbori Toshinoichi has a very lively atmosphere with the power of a nearby wholesale district. By all means, please come to the lively “last year old city” where there is mysterious!

(C)2018 Movie "When the curtain of prayer comes down" Production Committee

　

The movie "When the Prayer Curtains Fall" will be released on January 27th.

This time, I'm a tour of Rosmari's location in Chuo-ku, File NO.11, Nobudo Shigemori Eishin.

Mr. Eiichiro Shigemori, Senior Managing Director.

In addition, here is the article on location tour 1 of the movie "When the curtain of prayer goes down"

⇒　/archive/2017/12/post-4817.html

　

Then...

　

(Our doll ware) The scene where you can open 12 pieces is reflected in the movie trailer.

I brought a lot, so there are some paper bags with yellow handbags and wrapping paper.

In the scene, there is a souvenir location in Sendai with a location, and Kyoichiro Kaga will bring it to that person.

Also, in the mystery of the 12 bridges, even in the case where Junpei Mizobata and Abe-san heard a little while listening, such as eating, and such scenes, Shigemori doll ware is reflected in quite various places.

　

Seven and a half years ago (the TV drama "Newcomer") location was early in the morning.

We usually open the store at 9 o'clock in the morning, but we also work all the clock hands and set it to start at 9 o'clock in the morning.

(Before the story of Kusakaya) I first appeared at the beginning of the first episode.

One of the clues is that the doll ware left in Mieko Harada's apartment is our doll ware, leftovers, and leftovers.

In the second episode, this time, at the Kikuya's "Ryotei Kozon", the scene of putting wasabi in a puppet ware, the mischief of the wolf, but this is also our doll ware.

　

Right now, I'm the vice president of the shopping district and I'm doing publicity, so I'm a coordinator for this movie.

At the preview and red carpet on the 12th of this month, adjust the fact that 20 people in the shopping street should wear a half coat.

The red carpet on the 12th is the road leading to Fukutoku Shrine, between 2 and 3 in Choredo Muromachi.

It doesn't take less than 10 minutes for an event.

The layout table of where and who is as a press is also decided, and at the end, 10 people and 10 people in the shopping street wearing brown half coats on both sides, please add sinter.

　

I have a connection with Mr. Abe since "Newcomer".

Abe's office is located in Minato-ku, and the president of the office, a woman, a very low, good president, and I was invited to a preview in other movies.

Mr. Abe himself is also a very kind person. You're very concerned about the location.

　

Mr. Mizobata came to Ningyocho if there was something, and there were some shops that came well.

Even at home, at the time of location, seven years ago, when the location of Ningyocho was over, at night, when we were still doing it, he came out and said, "It's over now." It's like a story.

"Let's eat a doll-yaki. Bring me sweet things. ", "Thank you."

Mizobata was still in his early twenties at that time, so if you look at it, it seems that it was quite solid (body shape) or is training, it seems that it is comparable to Abe-san It was a presence.

In the meantime, I've been doing a lot of work, so I've gained a career, Mizobata-kun, a really good young man.

　

・・Mr. Shigemori, Senior Managing Director.

　

After this, we will continue to introduce each location and talk about location.

Please look forward to it.

The annual "World's Smallest Mini Painting Exhibition" is being held at "Gallery Yaesu Tokyo", an art gallery in the Yaesu Underground Shopping Center.

The event will be held from Monday, December 18 to 24 (Sun).

It is held every year during this season, so personally, when I see the signboard of this painting exhibition in the passage of the underground shopping mall, I realize that this year is already over.

This time, more than 100 exhibitors exhibited more than 10 works each, and more than 1000 works were exhibited.

In this painting exhibition, there are various materials, various expressions, and the exhibited artists are also active in various fields. Even though each work is small, the energy overflowing from it is amazing.

I heard during the lunch break, but many visitors were eager to watch the work.

In addition, we received your consent for photography in the gallery, and also cooperated in the interview.

Thank you very much

Then...

There are some people who appeared at the first episode of "Newcomers".

[Famous actor A] And [Famous actress B] are there.

It doesn't seem to have been publicly announced yet, and I can't say it.

This time, the director was slightly different from the time of the drama, Fukuzawa-san, but in the case of a downtown rocket, Keio's Yukichi Fukuzawa's grandson (Yasago), Keio University became the best rugby in Japan Because it was a rock when I became a rock, I was very big, and my work was like Shimomachi Rocket, "I feel like I'm Naoki Hanzawa, I'm passionate about it.

The way of shooting and the atmosphere may have changed a little.

I think it's going to feel like hot blood, but I'm looking forward to it.

The location was about 2 hours this time, I took it in the morning, in the shop.

Abe is walking outside the shop, and [Actress B] stops it.

[Actor A] It's three people who came in with him.

My father (Mr. Kusakaya's husband: Junmichi Ishikawa) was told to bake a rice cracker there.

Mr Abe told his father to wave his hand.

Dad looks like a silhouette, and I don't think it's so clearly reflected.

I don't know if the place where it's baked is reflected. It was baked there.

In the drama, the name of the shop was "Amakara" in the original work of Mr. Higashino, so change the hand-baked products (senbei) to the name "Amakara".

There was also something called "Amamama". It's a cracked cracker, isn't it?

I made it and arranged "Amara" and "Amamama", and took it with it.

The products were replaced together (only the product name sticker) with "Amakara" and "Amaama".

Don't see "Sokaya" or "hand-baked".

When I was a "newcomer", I changed the signboard of the shop to "Amaama", but this time I took it so that the signboard could not be reflected.

The weather was nice, isn't it?

At first, neither [actor A] nor [actress B] shouldn't come to shoot.

I felt like I was shooting only by Abe, but once the shooting was extended, I wanted to call [Actor A] and [A actress B], so the shooting was extended.

So it was July 19th.

Actually, it was a little earlier, about two weeks earlier, but at the meeting.

　

[Actress B] I sent her clothes for the time being (the same thing as my daughter wears), but I don't have to wear this again, so wear the prepared one.

I think the one you sent was also tried on.

It was completely different, it was a reddish apron and gorgeous.

Mr. Abe is in his usual suit.

　

・・Thank you very much to the daughter of Nigyocho Sokaya.

　

After this, we will continue to introduce each location and talk about location.

Please look forward to it.
