Goldfish Dai Japanese lantern approach, from the top or from below?

[Shiba Inu] August 28, 2018 18:00

"Goldfish Dai Japanese lantern approach" is currently being held on Coredo Muromachi Nakadori.

The large Japanese lantern of goldfish is raised on the approach to Fukutoku Shrine from Cored Muromachi, and the image of beautiful goldfish swimming and fireworks floating with the passage as the water surface is projected through digital art.

This mysterious video as if you were in a dream is very popular on SNS. There are several best viewing spots, but the recommendation is "see from above"!

Since the approach is expressed as the water surface, the realism seen from below is wonderful, but once again, I want to see from above and enjoy the whole picture. The lobby of TOHO Cinemas Nihonbashi, which is located in Coredo Muromachi 2, is made of glass in two directions, and you can see the approach and Fukutoku Shrine from above. When watching a movie, be sure to take a look at the beautiful corridor below. You can enter the lobby without a movie ticket, and you can also use a shop for selling movie goods and eating and drinking.

There is a bewitching mood around Fukutoku Shrine at night, which is likely to come out by youkai living in the city, so please drop in when you come to Nihonbashi late. Goldfish Dai Japanese lantern approach is being held from 18:00 to 23:00 p.m. until September 24th. There are many cool-down events that will be held at the same time, so please also see this website "Kinryo Festival" for details!

 

 

portable shrine's main maintenance

[Shitamachi Tom] August 28, 2018 14:00

IMG_7387_R.jpg

Summer festivals were held in many areas of Chuo-ku, and pageants of tradition and exchange were spread. I think that one of the attractions of this area is that such events are firmly rooted.

 

At the Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine Annual Festival, which was held mainly in the Tsukuda and Tsukishima districts in early August, many people gathered to enliven the big event once every three years. It was the last festival of the Heisei era, and it was a festival that was more energetic than usual.

It is portable shrine that keeps the centripetal force during the festival. Not only the shrines' large portable shrines, but also their own portable shrine in each town will be very active at this time. The pedestal may have a list of donors at the time of pre-war production. The thoughtful portable shrine is a symbol of the region.

 

 

Well, after the festival is over, many regions call portable shrine to the maintenance. After all, it was shaken during the festival, so checking for increments and shaking, and performing detailed repairs is also a preparation for the next festival. A specialist in portable shrine in Tokyo and Chiba will carefully repair it. Because of the detailed work, a gorgeous figure at the festival is established.

Don't you think it's a taste to imagine that the mikoshi that has finished the summer festival is carefully cared for this time?

If you take this opportunity to take an interest in the structure and fine-grained works of portable shrine, I think the festival will broaden your interest.

"Yujiro Ishihara's Trajectory" is being held nationwide-Matsuya Ginza―

1. August 27, 2018 12:00

100_2918.JPG 100_2914.JPG

When the passionate Koshien is over, this summer is not the end of the day. There is a crowd in front of the entrance of Matsuya. The legendary car of Yujiro Ishihara, Mercedes-Benz 300SL Garwing, is on display. There is a security guard beside him. There is an explanatory version, and "I purchased it with all the appearance fee in 1958. It is said that there are only 6 cars in the world and 3 cars in Japan.

 

When you enter the venue, you will find people who were old young people and their companions, and young people now.

Last year, 30 years after the death of 2017, I remember seeing reports that the Yujiro Ishihara Memorial Hall in Otaru closed and attracted many fans. This exhibition focuses on the works held at the Yujiro Ishihara Memorial Hall, and according to the explanatory pamphlet at the first exhibition that traverses the whole country, "Drums and props used in movies, costumes worn in TV dramas, more than 100 pieces of special suits and shoes will be exhibited in one hall. " In addition, there are many exhibitions such as ties, cuffs buttons, engagement rings and marriage rings, wedding costumes, and the nostalgic "Ginza Love Story" video and theme song. In "Ginza's Love Story", not only Sukiya Bridge but also Matsuya and Wako from 1962 will appear, so I wanted to borrow it a little. (Only the theme song has been heard a lot at karaoke, but maybe I don't remember actually seeing a movie ...) A superstar who ran through Showa, saying "It's cool!" There were a number of visitors who decided the same pose in front of the poster at the entrance.

Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
In addition to Japan's first department store, Mitsukoshi, the world's first robot hotel, weird Hotel.
There are many things in Chuo-ku, Japan's first and the world's first!
 
Mr. Kokichi Mikimoto, founder of Mikimoto, who would be associated with pearls, is also the same.
We have achieved the feat of successfully cultivating pearls for the first time in the world.
The main store of Mikimoto is located in Ginza 4-chome.

The main store is holding a "Feeel the Pearl Feel Pearl Exhibition" until September 5th (Wednesday).

You can see the beauty of the shining pearls that are lit up in order.
For the first time, I learned that pearls can be harvested from shellfish, such as abalone, mussels, and scallop mussels, which are popular for food, and learned.
 
In addition, you can see five patterns of VR (virtual reality) images, including the scenery and work of a pearl farm in Ago-wan Bay, Mie Prefecture, where MIKIMOTO pearls are cultivated, and the view of Ago-wan Bay from Mikimoto's Shinjukaku in mansion.
In "Akoya mussel holding pearls in the sea", try looking for pearls as if you were diving in the sea.
This VR can be enjoyed 360 degrees with sound, so you can experience the realism as if you came to a Mie farm in an instant!
(* Unlike Mikimoto Pearl Island, which is a tourist facility, the farms found here are usually places that cannot be accessed by anyone other than those involved.)

I went to Edo with my two grandchildren.

And we set up the name "Izutsuya", which will be the cornerstone of the Japanese confectionery business as Eitaro, which continues to date.

Please refer to the article two years ago for the story of "Kintsuba" by Yasubee Hosoda (first generation Eitaro), the great grandson of Tokubei Hosoda.

Eitaro Sohonbu is headquartered in Nihonbashi, where the first Eitaro set up a store, and is engaged in the confectionery business.

In order to start the next 200 years, we have also renewed our corporate motto. "Eitaro challenging the richness of the mind."
