Christmas Art Festa 2017 in Ginza

[Silver] December 21, 2017 12:00

 Christmas Art Festa 2017 was held at 24 galleries in Ginza for a week from December 8th to 16th.

This year, we visited the Nichido Gallery, Ginza Yanagi Gallery, Eizendo Gallery, Akihado Gallery, Yasuaki Gallery, and Galerie Tamenaga Kobayashi Gallery.

 As expected, Nichido Gallery was only the largest and exhibited a lot of works. The 56th Mini-Yon Exhibition was held to commemorate the 90th anniversary of our founding.

At Ginza Yanagi Gallery, a painter Shinji Naganawa, who lives in Malaga, Spain, was at the venue and was able to listen to the story.

I felt as if I was in Spain with a bright color of oil.

 

 Yasuaki Gallery's theme was "Special Exhibition: Enjoy Flowers-Shoyo Hana".

 A lot of works depicting various flowers of spring, summer, autumn and winter on a large canvas were exhibited. We also received a "List of Flower Languages". According to that, "Speony" seems to have a flower language of shamefulness and humility. "Peony" is like a flower language of personality, fuki, shame, and shyness. For those who have this, I would like to give you a bright red rose.

 

The Lenoir exhibition was being held at "Galley Tamenaga".

(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.

The newcomer series is finally completed! To the best "crying" finale. ・・・

I can't wait for it to be released today.

 

As the TV drama "Newcomer" seven years ago, the subsequent movie "Kirin no Tsubasa-Theatrical Version / Newcomer-", of course, the original and other novels by Keigo Higashino, this movie "Prayer curtain descends" Is also closely related to Nihonbashi as a whole and Nihonbashi Ningyocho.

 

The location of this movie is all over the country, but as you can see in the original, the location was concentrated in Nihonbashi.

Regarding the location that took place from June to July of this year, Rosmari went around the location in Chuo-ku.

Click here for the article on the movie "When the Prayer Curtains Down" Location Tour 1

⇒ /archive/2017/12/post-4817.html

 

From this time, we will introduce the stories we heard from shops and other places how the location in Chuo-ku was performed.

DSC03048a.jpg

It starts with the location introduction, File NO.6, Muromachi Sunaba-san.

In addition, here is the introduction article of Mr.

⇒ /archive/2017/11/post-4775.html

 

Mr. Takeshi Muramatsu, Representative Director of Muromachi Sunaba, Takeshi Muramatsu. ・・・

DSC03098a.jpg

Please use the shop's holidays to come on regular holidays.

We don't know what we're doing, so we were surprised to receive instructions and come in many people.

Mr. Hiroshi Abe, the leading role of a large eater, and he enjoyed a lot.

You exaggerated and served wasabi on a heap, and you did it with it.

Also, Junpei Mizobata, who was working together, greeted us, and if you say goodbye, thank you for your inconvenience.

It seems that the actors were Abe and Mizobata. After that, there were a lot of extras, and about 20 people came and took pictures.

 

I would appreciate it if you were in the Nihonbashi area. Is it about the third one of the newcomers?

At first, I was done by Ningyocho, and after that I was done in the Nihonbashi area, thank you.

 

You've been doing the same scene several times. It's only a day, but it seems that you are retakening or taking pictures from various angles.

Mr. Abe had a great deal, mori soba. It's like I'm going to give you several pieces.

Mr. Mizobata was usually doing one piece, and Mr. Abe was eating a lot.

I think you had it properly. I think you were doing it while talking about the line.

Paste a poster that would be a keyword on the wall, and is it a play or something poster? Mr. Meijiza's.

I can't stick it because it's a painted wall to put the poster.

Beer like this, a variety of things are prepared, and sake is also prepared.

For us, I would appreciate it if you could see the soba deliciously.

Soba noodles grow quickly. Wouldn't the play be the main subject if you were in Shiba?

So, because it takes time, I'm going to stretch it over and over again.

Anyway, when you put on your chopsticks and lift it, it's hard to solidify and gently lift it.

I spread it, so I sprayed water with fog and did something, and relaxed the soba.            

DSC03095a.jpg

The shooting is here. (center of inner room: image above)

At that time, I took off the impulse and sat down, turned my back to the wall, one person, one toward the wall.

The picture on the wall is different from the current one.

The shooting was in summer, so I remember it as if it were a fresh green picture.

We didn't talk directly to the actors, so we just looked at it from a distance.

But when I heard from the staff who boarded in front, I heard that Mr. Abe was a very active person, but I didn't know the details.

 

Pull the rail outside for about half a day from the day. I'm going out to check the scene I shot.

I think I'm doing it while looking at the screen.

It depends on the angle of the camera, so extras come out once or enter again.

Mr. Extra puts as much as he needed. It was a very hot day, so I was watching while thinking that it was hard.

DSC03049a.jpg

I think you took a picture at the entrance.

There is a tatami room on the second floor, so you can change clothes or make makeup on the second floor.

 

Normally, it is a criminal, so when we receive an inquiry, we use it as a stage if it is often used in murder sites that are often suspenses, we are doing restaurants, so we refuse it However.

In the previous film (the movie "Kirin's Tsubasa-Theatrical Version, Newcomers"), Kiichi Nakai died in our symbol, Nihonbashi.

That's also a very emotional, and it's not just a ruthless murder, but a story in which various things of emotions are involved and incidents occur in a humanistic manner .

It's a very deep, humanistic detective, or a work.

 

Thank you very much for participating in the filming. I want to support you as a community.

 

・・Mr. Muramatsu, thank you very much.

 

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

Please look forward to it.

Theatre with the longest history in Tokyo-Meijiza

[rosemary sea] December 17, 2017 14:00

This is rosemary sea, which covers as a storyteller of "gifts and enjoy yourself."

 

DSC03091a.jpg

Meijiza, founded in 1873, the theater with the longest history in Tokyo.

Meijiza has experienced the past five disasters and burnouts, including the Great Kanto Earthquake and the Great Tokyo Air Raid.

Meijiza is the "male of overcoming difficulties" that has been rebuilt and reconstructed each time despite many disaster.

There was also a change in the name of the seat.

After opening as Kishoza in 1873, it was renamed Hisamatsu-za and Chitose-za.

In 1896, the first Ichikawa Sadanjijo became the chair and was renamed Meijiza here.

The current building of Meijiza was built in 1993.

It is a variety of theaters with facilities that can perform from Kabuki to musicals, and it is Japan's first full-fledged theater with pure steel frame.

There is a heliport on the roof and a special radio device for contact with the fire department at the disaster prevention center on the first floor.

It is a very safe theater that can respond to any emergency disaster.

 

Also, as an episode, in 1896, the first Ichikawa Sadanjijo and Danjuro Ichikawa Jo celebrated the full entry for 25 days and placed soba tags in large bags and distributed them in large bags. It is said that.

DSC03148a.jpg Meijiza 140th Anniversary Construction Image _edited-1a.jpg

Meijiza says that the history of over 140 years is the result of the support of visitors and the neighborhood of Hamacho and Ningyocho.

If you have time, please drop in at the gallery on the 2nd floor of Meijiza.

The panel of "Meijiza 140th Exhibition by Connecting Impressives" is on display.

Meijiza seats Epro-01a.jpgMeijiza's Makunouchi Bento a.jpg

We interviewed Naoko Hayashi, the advertising department of Meijiza Co., Ltd.

"Meijiza is a long-established theater in downtown, and performs a variety of plays, including historical dramas and Kabuki, as well as singer performances and musicals familiar on TV.

One of the attractions of the Meijiza theater is the Makunouchi lunch box to eat during the intermission and the selection of souvenirs at the theater stand! "

 

・・That's why it's a fun stage and performance, I'm convinced.

 

[Notice 1]

This is an introduction of Meijiza's performance.

From January 6 (Sat) to February 11 (Sun), 2018, "Special Croquette Performance" will be held.

Croquette 2018 For poster blog post jpg

The first part is "The First Laughter Mito Komon Manyuki Special Appearance Ultraman". It's an exciting historical drama.

The thief Suke-san Kaku and a strange grandfather were retired, and they developed a rare way to earn rough money.

Ultraman's special appearance, isn't it? I'm looking forward to seeing you there.

The second part is "Imitation On Stage".

A croquette with a variety of arts, it's true.

There are many daily show guests.

 

 Please check the telephone and official website below for details.

 

・・・ Don't miss the definitive version of New Year's laughter.

 

 

[Notice 2]

The filming location of Keigo Higashino's original movie, "When the Prayer Curtains Fall," scheduled to be released on January 27 next year, was held throughout the country from June to July this year.

As with the original, Nihonbashi, Chuo-ku is the main story, so naturally there are many locations in Nihonbashi.

And, in fact, Meijiza, is one of the very important locations.

The location was on July 12th, 22nd and 25th, but we will hear a detailed story from Mr. Mita, the director of the Meijiza Production Department.

I look forward to hearing this story at a later date.

One Time of Shiwasu: "December Daikabuki" Kabukiza Theater

1. December 16, 2017 14:00

100_2571.JPG

On the day when the memorial ceremony of the third generation of Koryoya was held in Asakusa, I saw the three parts. I couldn't make a reservation two days ago, but I got a relatively good seat, so is it bad to enter? I was a little worried (although it's not something I'm worried about), but I'm somewhat relieved to see the "Oiri" bill makes me laugh. Certainly, there is almost no vacant seat in the eyes of the first floor. In the third part, both "Mother of the eyelid" and "Yang Guihime" are Tamasaburo's opponent. "Mother of the eyelids" is Shin Hasegawa's new Kabuki, and Nakazari is a Kabuki person so much as I wonder when it was when it was talked about as "Kabuki actors." "Yang Gui" is written by Yumakura Taku for Tamasaburo. While the beauty of Tamasaburo-san is so vigorous, the curtain will start. ・・・・

 

If it is a three-part system, the last three part will start at 18:30, and at this time, even those who return to work can see it somehow. It seems that there are many young people because of their minds. Some are Ainosuke's "real story" and Matsu Midori's "Tsuchigu", and the second part is Nakasha's "Rakuda" Matsu Midori's "Ranpeimono crazy". Since the performance time is about two and a half hours, I think that even those who say "Kabuki is so tired ..." can easily watch it. The New Year is also a busy time, but how about relaxing in a play during a busy time?

 

Senakiraku will be held on the 26th

1st part 11:00 ~ 2nd part 15:00 ~ 3rd part 18:30 ~

For inquiries, please contact Ticket Hon Shochiku 0570-000-489 (10:00 to 18:00).

"National Treasure Snow Pine and Flowers: Bird Watching at Museum" Exhibition

[Marsha Horiuchi of Edo] December 15, 2017 09:00

Ahead of the Year of the Dog in 2018, at the end of 2017 of the Year of the Rooster, we have enjoyed many bird artworks.

 
There are many congratulatory crane paintings, especially the Hizuki Matsuzuru-zu folding screen of the Muromachi period, which is perfect for the large Shoin-style or sukiya-style mansion at that time.

 

In addition, 63 kinds of birds are precisely drawn in 17 meters, a volume of 46 birds of the Edo period, a volume of 46 birds. I don't think it's as if it's a modern picture book. It seems to have been painted by a Kyoto man named Shiko Watanabe of Rinpa who studied under Kourin Ogata over 24 years, including grayheaded cuckoo, Sparrows, Japanese tit, Hibari, Hibari, Hibari, Hibari, Hibari, varied tit, dusky thrush, Kazura, Starlings, Shigi and herons. It can be seen that the beauty of Japan has been made over hundreds of years.

 

Another figure is the famous "Taro Hachiman Yoshiyazu", Yoshiie Minamotono, the ancestor of Minamoto no Yoritomo, said, "When I lie down in Hyono, I break the goose line" when I saw the flock of goes being disturbed, when I learned that there was a disguise.

 

Now, if you go somewhere deep green or mountains, you will not be able to meet these birds. I hope that the world will become brighter with the principles of coexistence with nature, self-interest and others.

Finally, the figure of Seven Lucky Gods was displayed. It is a figure of the gods of India, China, and Japan together, often on a treasure ship, but this picture also depicts birds on land. Bensaiten, Vaisravana, Fukurokuju, Kotobuki, Hotei, Ebisu and Daikoku.

 

I wish you 2018 a good year for you.

(In addition, the national treasure Oukyo Maruyama “Yukimatsu-zu folding screen” will be on display from 1/4 to 2/4 next year.)
