Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

On January 3 (Thursday), we watched the last Hakone Ekiden in Heisei and participated in the "Sensha Bill Stamp & Town Name Quiz Rally" held by the Chuo-ku Tourism Information Center.

　

First of all, to collect information, I asked a woman who was guiding in kimono at the Nihonbashi Tourist Information Center where the players are now running, and said, "I'm running around Sengakuji and coming to Nihonbashi in 10 minutes." So I decided to watch it around here.

While waiting for the players, I looked at the statues of Kirin and lions in Nihonbashi, and found that Kirin's feet were two fingers and the lion's feet were four fingers, making it felt like a big harvest.

At 13:22, the top player passed in front of him in an instant.

I couldn't see my face very quickly, and people who were trying to shoot with my smartphone heard voices saying, "I couldn't shoot ..."

Three minutes later, the second place player came, but this is going through in an instant ...

The area around Nihonbashi is 1 km from the goal, and it is also a popular watching point.

Next, I reflected on the watching points carefully, and went to the "Sensha Bill Stamp & Town Name Quiz Rally".

This is held until January 14 (Monday), and if you collect 7 stamps in the city, you will receive a "participation prize", and if you answer all the stamps and quizzes correctly, you will receive a "achievement prize" You.

※The number of participation awards and achievement awards is limited.

　

I think it's good to run through Chuo-ku in an instant, like a Hakone Ekiden player, but why not go around Chuo-ku while playing a zickri and Suntaple rally?

　　

 

 

"Gifts and Enjoy Yourself" is Rosemary Sea.

The annual "Yagenbori-no-Yoichi and Ode-Koichi" held at the Yagenbori Fudoin neighborhood of Higashinihombashi for three days from Wednesday, December 26 to 28 (Friday), was very commonplace. It was crowded with many people.

"Tonoichi" is a city that sells New Year's goods such as Kadomatsu and shimekazari.

During the Edo period, old cities were held in various places, but the last one was Yagenbori.

However, the only remaining ones are the old city of Yagenbori and the Hagoita city of Asakusa.

In addition to this, "Odekoichi" sponsored by "Higashinihombashi Yagenbori Shotenkai" is also held, and clothing and daily necessities are sold very cheaply. There are about 100 stalls in total.

If you are not here, please come out in a year.

The so-called "Chindon shop" was also enlivening the mood of the city while distributing flyers from Odeko City.

Before 1:00 pm on the first day of the 26th, Rosmari came under the stairs of Yagenbori Fudoin.

The purpose is...

To speak with Edo Dai-Kagura Maruichi Senosha, Seno Maruichi Maruichi, the 13th Iemoto (pictured above).

And to cover Edo Dai-Kagura.

On the first day of the 26th, Ogoma is fired between 13:00 and 17:00.

On the 27th and 28th, there are three performances at 13:00, 15:00 and 17:00, and one time is about 45 minutes.

About two years ago, when I interviewed Eitaro Sohonpo in Nihonbashi about "Kagami Opening".

Mr. Eitaro, Mr. Maruichi Senoshanaka has been holding the New Year's gate, and I introduced a little.

The article at that time is here.

⇒　　/archive/2017/01/post-3951.html

It has been two years since I promised more introductions.

Moreover, we waited for a double, here is the introduction of Edo Dai-Kagura Maruichi Senoshanaka.

Edo Dai-Kagura ...

The origin of Dai-Kagura is said to have been the Heian period. In the Edo period, it became a major epidemic.

The reason for this is "Ise visit". The desire of the common people to visit Ise-jingu Shrine once in a lifetime.

However, if you live far away, travel expenses are expensive and it takes days. It is 15 days one way from Edo.

Therefore, priests and children of Ise-jingu Shrine and Atsuta-jingu Shrine, who had also gathered religion, traveled to various places with lion heads.

I purified and distributed talisman. Instead of worshiping directly, that is, Daikagura ...

It is said that it was written separately from Dai-Kagura.

Maruichi Senosha Shrine ...

It is one of the representative names of Dai-Kagura since the Edo period. I belong to the Atsuta school.

It is said that this school went to Edo with the permission of Atsuta Jingu in 1664 (Kanbun 4), and went around large and small mansions and performed "exorcism".

Five years later, in 1669, it was presented to the Shogun family in the garden of Fukiage, Edo Castle.

From here, the business trip to Edo became an annual event, and eventually moved to Edo.

Nowadays, he is very active in various stages, events, and overseas performances.

In addition, during the New Year, there is also a traditional town around the Nihonbashi area.

・・・Introduction of the performances on the day will follow the second and second part.

Ginza Matsuya's last Heisei New Year's project began with the "Tsurutaro Kataoka" exhibition. "Multitalent" is an exhibition of the "25th Anniversary of Painting and 45th Anniversary of Performing Arts Life" that reminds me that "multitalent" is just a word for this person. As you can see in the exhibition, "Tsurutaro Kataoka, who works as an actor at some time and as an entertainer at some time, has a face as a painter and calligrapher. In 2017, he received the title of an Indian Government-approved Yoga Instructor, and I don’t know that his multi-talentity and activity will remain.”

　

The venue is "free to shoot" so I took a lot of pictures. I would like you to taste the atmosphere of the venue in some way. There are many "Mount Fuji" near the entrance. And what I was interesting was the "Narikiri Works" section that draws "Narikiri" on Yayoi Kusama and Shiko Munakata. First of all, from the "shape", a video of the appearance of Mr. Tsurutaro with red hair appearing in the polka dot pattern fashion and working on production in the studio is flowing, and laughter is coming from the surrounding audience. I also blew it out. It captures the characteristics skillfully, and the shape and work are "just like". In addition, there are many other things that can be regarded as kusuri, such as works depicting Tsurutaro by artists and talents on masks reminiscent of Noh masks.

　

　

This is a perfect exhibition for the New Year.

"Tsurutaro Kataoka" Exhibition until January 14 Matsuya Ginza 8F Event Square　

Admission: General 1000 yen 10:00-20:00 Closed on the last day

 

 

Happy new year. January 3 I went to support the annual Hakone Ekiden / Return route. We support each year in front of Mitsukoshi. This year I was full of people who supported me. Aoyama Gakuin Univ. was desperately pursuing Tokai Univ., but as expected in front of Mitsukoshi, Tokai Univ. won a victory. I watched it until the end, but the top group running seemed not tired at all. The picture also shows the player's appearance. After that, he visited Fukutoku-jinja Shrine. There was also a line here. I have prayed for a safe and healthy year at home.

New Year's Day in the Garden.

A cup of matcha at Ochiyaya in Nakajima.
Shoseigashi has a very elegant taste.

From the stand set up to protrude into the pond, the scenery unique to winter spreads out.

The snow hanging is the accent of the winter garden.

This is the Ochiyaya of Tsubame, which was specially released.
The view from the top is a valuable opportunity.

The hawks danced in the sky with good luck, and it was a peaceful New Year in the pleasant sunshine.
