Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

The Chuo Ward Environmental Information Center is located in the Kyobashi Environmental Station on the 6th floor of Tokyo Square Garden, an environmentally friendly office building located at the intersection of Kyobashi 3-chome, Chuo-dori and Kajibashi Street.

In the exhibition space here, "Corporate Environmental Activity Exhibition-Let's see CSR and CSV activities of companies in Chuo-ku-" is currently being held.

The period is from Thursday, February 1 to 27 (Tue), and the time is from 9:00 to 21:00.

Here, we introduce environmental initiatives and CSR / CSV activities of companies with offices in Chuo-ku.

At the introduction corner for each company, specific activities are explained on the board in an easy-to-understand manner.

Here, activities presentations by organizations registered with the Environmental Information Center are also held regularly.

Incidentally, CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) refers to corporate social responsibility, which not only makes profits, maintains dividends, and complies with laws and regulations, but also provides appropriate employment and working conditions that take into account human rights, and consumers. Refers to the responsibilities that a company should fulfill as a citizen, such as responding appropriately to environmental issues, and contributing to local communities.

On the other hand, CSV (Creating Shared Value) is translated as "common value" or "shared value", and is a differentiation strategy that leads to the sustainable growth of the company by solving social issues with our strengths.

The difference between CSR and CSV seems to be that CSR is an image of defensive, while CSV is an offensive image. CSV is a perspective that leverages the strengths of a company and solves social problems as a business based on the principle of capitalism.

At the Megumi Ogita Gallery, located on the first basement floor of the Ginza Otsuka Building (map below, red) in Ginza 2-chome, Yuki Kawado's exhibition "American Rat-style Character Parade" is being held.

The period is from Friday, February 9 to 24 (Sat).

The time is from 11:00 to 19:00 and closed on Sundays, Mondays and holidays.

This is the first time that Mr. Kawato's exhibition has been held at this gallery.

"American mouse-style character" is that () character that everyone knows well.

The parade scenery of the characters is enjoyed by embroidery.

If you look closely, you can see clearly, but the fineness and concentration of this embroidery are tremendous.

You can feel the power put in each needle.

Although the composition is simple, Kawato's original "rat-style", "duck-style" and "inu-style" characters are vividly and powerfully expressed.

All the texts in the commentary are also expressed by embroidery.

It is said that this exhibition was created when Mr. Kawato was used to express embroidery, and this expression method is not currently taken, and in that sense, it is a valuable opportunity.

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

Thank you very much

A bird watching event will be held on February 18th. This is the third year of this year, an observation event started with local enthusiasts. Rabbit was inspired by this observation party, and became absorbed in observing wild birds. That's because Chuo-ku is a city in the city, but by regenerating nature, I was strongly convinced that it could coexist with nature.

　

Water birds that are wintering near Ishikawajima Park now include mallard, Eurasian wigeon, Oban, Hoshihajiro and tufted duck.

　

What kind of birds can you meet at the observation party? Early, and in a month later, the birds who came in October will return to Siberia after wintering.

By all means, please take this opportunity to meet the birds who chose the Sumida River in Chuo-ku during wintering. Usako will guide you.

　

　

　

 

 

Setsubun, the day before spring, the turning point from winter to spring, has passed.

I think there are many people who have driven away demons in bean-throwing ceremony, turned to Eho, and ate a single thick sushi roll to wish sound health.

　

Now, next is the time of the peach festival in Hinamatsuri on March 3rd, which is held to pray for the health and happiness of girls.

At the Mitsui Museum of Art, as usual, during the period when the "Mitsui Family's Hina-sama" was capitalized in Kyoto (Heian-kyo 794-1868), it was mainly decorated from Hina doll to Meiji period, which was sold here at 10 shops in Nihonbashi (now around 3-chome Muromachi).

Although not shown in the photo here, the sight of a set of chicks displayed on the hinadan reminds us of the elegant court of the Heian period. If you look at this, it may be an opportunity to regain the tranquility of your mind.

　　

In addition, tea utensils are also on display, and the Rakuchawan has a pleasant shape to watch at any time.

Noh costumes, Noh masks, frowned women in the Muromachi period, etc., lieutenant, and scarlet masks are on display.

At the gallery Ginza 2-chome gallery, "Gallery Ginza", a solo exhibition by Masato Sakuma, "Cat Prayer Todoku Town" is currently being held.

The gallery is located on the 2nd floor on the map below.

The event period is from February 12 (Monday / holiday) to February 18 (Sun).

The time is from 11am to 7pm, and the last day is until 5pm.

Mr. Sakuma has drawn many picture books, books, magazines, illustrations and illustrations of CD jackets and advertisements, and when he looks at the work, he thinks that "I've seen somewhere" should be.

Works depicting retro-modern scenery that can be called Sakuma World are lined up.

It depicts a color that invites nostalgia, a space like a completely different world that seems to have seen in the past, so you can immerse yourself in a quiet viewing time.

Sakuma's work seems to be in the process of processing what was drawn with a pen with a computer and finally coloring it by hand. You can feel the warmth of the colored parts with uneven coloring.

The buildings and trams depicted by Mr. Sakuma in his work seem to feel more old because of the atmosphere of the buildings that used to be built in Chuo-ku and the trains that ran.

On the other hand, he also works on the binding of a series of detective novels, and works with a completely different atmosphere are also exhibited.

Please drop in to immerse yourself in Sakuma World.

The photographing in the gallery was specially approved by the person himself.

Thank you very much
