It's rosemary sea, where we cover "gifts and enjoy yourself" by standby.

On February 4th (Sun), we visited Meijiza.

To commemorate the release of the movie "When the Prayer Curtain descends", a special "backstage tour" was held to guide customers on the audience and stage of Meijiza, which became an important actual location. So, I covered it.

P2040258a.jpgThere are 50 participants (once).

 

After the reception, before entering the audience, Mr. Akika Kishi, Sales Development Division, Meijiza Marketing Department, Inc., briefly explained the background of Meijiza.

P2040259a.jpg

In addition, it seems that there are a total of 1,368 seats with flower paths installed.

Entering the audience, first of all, there was a screen projection of the trailer for the movie "When the Prayer curtain descends".

 

P2040262a.jpgNext, Mr. Kishi explained the location of the movie "When the Prayer curtain descends".

 

As a staff member of Meijiza, I was very happy that Keigo Tono made the stage of the novel, and that he actually shot the movie at the theater.

P2040346a.jpg

There was also a scene outside the theater, but there were seven shooting spots in the audience seats, which explained it.

 

Then all the customers changed to the prepared slippers and went to the stage.

P2040335a.jpg 

From here, Mr. Junji Goto, Chief Manager of Equipment, Meijiza Stage Co., Ltd.

 

Goto has been 34 years of props and 32 years of entering Meijiza.

It seems to be the oldest age here.

Mr. Goto explained each room beside the audience seats, hanging pulleys on the ceiling, equipment on the stage, set beside the stage, etc. .

In particular, some of the five large and small lines on the stage and the surrounding stage were actually moved, and customers were able to experience the scenery seen from there.

 

There is a question corner, etc., and the tour itself ends in about 45 minutes from the start.

About 30 minutes later, the customer asked Mr. Kishi and Mr. Goto again, saw the stage where he was interested, photographed at the stage and audience seats, and photographed by the person in charge.

I had a lot of time.

On the way home, Meijiza's original lunch box, “Prayer Makunouchi Bento,” commemorating the release of the movie, and Torayaki, a long-established Kyoto confectionery store in Yokocho, Ningyocho, amazake, were handed over to each customer.

On this day, another tour was held after the end of this round.

 

・・This is an interview with two customers.

 

A middle-aged couple.

[Wife] I'm very happy to see various places.

[Master] I was also shown the stage equipment.

[Wife] I was able to stand on a stage that I couldn't usually go up, and I was able to experience behind the stage and auctions, so it was a great experience.

 

Another pair, a lady in her twenties and her mother.

[Daughter] I enjoyed it very much.

[Two of you, together] more than I thought.

[Mother] I didn't think I would be able to go around the stage.

I didn't think I could get on [ladies] (on the surrounding stage or on the street).

[Mother] I can't usually walk the flower path.

 

・・It was a very good experience and everyone was satisfied.

 

 This tour was held additionally due to its popularity.

The schedule was twice on Tuesday, February 6 and twice on 9 (Friday), but the date has already passed.

 

The story of this tour will continue.

From the next time on, we will give a detailed explanation of the seven seats and a more detailed explanation of the stage and equipment.

I'm looking forward to it.

bunmeo201801.JPG

A special exhibition "Remains of Civilization and enlightenment and Chuo-ku in 2017" is being held at Time Dome Akashi, a local Tenmonkan on the 6th floor of the Chuo-ku Public Health Center facing St. Luke Street, 12-1 Akashicho.

It's the red spot on the map below.

bunmei201800.jpg

The period is from Saturday, February 3 to March 21 (Wednesday, public holidays).

bunmei201802.JPG

The time is usually from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm, but on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, it is from 10:00 am to 5:00 pm

Closed days are every Monday (open on holidays, closed the next day).

Admission is free.

bunmei201803.JPG

It is an interesting project where you can imagine the lives of people around Civilization and enlightenment on display.

bunmei201804.JPG

Real items such as tableware, garbage, and toys found at archeological sites in Chuo-ku are on display.

The venue is divided into "clothing", "food" and "house", and the items used in the lives of people at that time are introduced, making it very easy to see.

bunmei201805.JPG

There is also a polite explanation, and there are surprises and discoveries that I actually used such things a hundred years ago to live.

bunmei201806.JPG

I know what the people at that time were eating.

This exhibition clearly shows Chuo-ku, which seems to have been the most affected by Civilization and enlightenment in Japan, and Chuo-ku, where the lives of the common people of Edo remained.

In addition, we received special consent for photography at the venue.

2nd month "Koryoya 3rd generation attack performance" February Kabukiza Theater

1. February 8, 2018 18:00

100_2653.JPG 100_2652.JPG

The hot topic of Komaya's third generation simultaneous attack performance has entered the second month, and it is more popular and it is difficult to arrange tickets. Finally, I handed the tickets to my friends and finally went to the Kabukiza Theater. Nearly 20 actors' wives are lined up behind the reception of actors who are the managers of the actors called the guards at the entrance. It's gorgeous and impressive. As soon as you step into the audience seats, the celebration curtain of Yayoi Kusama's design will catch your eye. The three colorful points on the black background make a great impact. The customers who are taking pictures here and there are noticeable.

100_2654.JPG

In the evening part, we understood the reasons for Koshiro Shinkoshiro's "Kumagaya Jinya", "Kinbiki play lively" where the name of the attack is performed in a play style, and the reasons for the various wifes. Kikugoro, Nizaemon, Yoshiemon and Tojuro are all actors using both flower paths. It is a luxury and luxury unique to the attacking performance. What has become a hot topic this month is that Nizaemon, Tamasaburo and Ebizo and Kikunosuke will perform Hiraemon and Light of "Nanatsudan-me" on odd and even days alternately. From January, it was a fuss in my friends to see which combination. I'd like to see both the mountains, but the tickets are higher than usual and the arrangement is difficult, so it's an annoying place. Today is an odd day, with the combination of Nizaemon and Tamasaburo, the revival of "Takatama Combi" after a long absence, but it is a famous combination that matches the breath. It's a nice atmosphere. It is also talked about that Shin Somegoro (Rikiya Oboshi) and Shinpaku parrot (Yuranosuke) play the same role as their predecessors 37 years ago. Goro Shin Some is a junior high school student, but he was excited with the neighbors and "more beautiful than father" for the goodness and beauty of the appearance of "Kabuki's prestigious Soji". There are also a lot of souvenir items. This is one of the three types of notes.

100_2658.JPG

Until the 25th, depending on the date, it seems that there are still days that can be taken. Please take a look at the historical three-generation simultaneous attack performance.

The daytime section is "Harukoma celebration Koma", "Ichijo Daizotan", "temporary", and "Ii elder".

For inquiries about tickets on the 25th, Chiakiraku will contact Ticket Hon Shochiku at 0570-000-489 (10:00 to 18:00).

 

 

Edo culture experience at Tsukiji Temple Japanese face hospitality

[saru] February 7, 2018 14:00

On February 3, there was an event called Japanese face Aigo at Tsukiji, and I went there. The first event was the performance at Tsukiji Honganji Temple in temple town and Tsukiji Temple intemple town. "Japanese face love" means to interact with people in Buddhist terms with a gentle smile and compassionate manner. The contents include traditional acrobatics called Dai-Kagura on a special stage, rakugo, and geisha hospitality dance. In addition, there were craftsmen work experience workshops and Edo period costume experience corners.a.jpg

b.jpg

Rakugo is a master of Tachibana Takezo. I wondered if I would like to talk about rakugo, and after talking, it was a modest and Nanjing Tama blind show. A storyteller I was impressed that various arts are wide. I was satisfied that I saw something interesting. After the stylish and hauling art, the gorgeous dance of Ningyocho Yoshicho geisha Ren was performed.

c.jpg

The holding of "Waka Aigo" in Chuo-ku is over, but it will be held at 2/10 Gokokuji, 2/12 Dentsu, and 2/17 Asakusa. In Chuo-ku, you can often find events where you can see the traditions and popular performing arts that have continued from Edo.

This day is Setsubun. I went back with the bean-throwing ceremony of Tsukiji Namiki Shrine.

For the first time in Chuo-ku, "Weird Hotel" opened!

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] February 5, 2018 09:00

On February 1st, "Weird Hotel Tokyo Ginza" opened at Tsukiji 2-chome.

It will be the first "weird hotel" opened in Chuo-ku.

This is a hot topical hotel where state-of-the-art robots welcome you at the front desk.

henn201801.JPG

On the day of the opening, when I drop in to return to work, there are many Phalaenopsis orchids to celebrate the opening at the entrance.

If you get permission from the hotel and show the front desk, two people will truly be greeted by humanoid robots (humanoids)

henn201803.JPG

In addition, all guest rooms are fully equipped with "robot cleaning (clothet to refresh odor, wrinkle, dust, pollen)" and it is an attractive hotel that makes you want to stay.

I feel like a new attraction has been added to Chuo-ku.

henn201804.JPG

The "weird hotel" in Tokyo is said to be opened today following the first Nishikasai, followed by Hamamatsucho, Akasaka, Asakusabashi, and Haneda.
