Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

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

　

First of all, to collect information, I asked a woman guided in a kimono at the Nihonbashi Tourist Information Center where the athlete is currently running, and said, "I'm running around Sengakuji Temple and coming to Nihonbashi in more than 10 minutes." I decided to watch the game around here.

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

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

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

Three minutes later, the second place player will come, but this will pass in an instant ...

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

Next, I thought that I had to think carefully about the watching points, and headed to "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 & quizzes correctly, you will receive a further "achievement prize" You.

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

　

Like a Hakone Ekiden player, I think it's a good idea to run through Chuo-ku in an instant, but why not go around Chuo-ku while playing a suntaap rally with Jikkuri?

For three days from December 26 (Wednesday) to 28 (Friday), the annual `` Yagenbori Nari-no-ichi, Ode-koichi '' was held in the neighborhood of Yagenbori Fudoin in Higashinihombashi. It was crowded with many people.

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

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

However, only the old city of Yagenbori and Hagoita city of Asakusa remain today.

In addition to this, "Odekoichi (it seems to be called Odekoichi)" sponsored by "Higashinihombashi Yagenbori Shopping Association" is also held, and clothing and daily necessities are sold very cheaply. At the same time, there are about 100 stalls.

If you are not here, please come and visit us a year later.

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

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

The purpose is ...

To talk to Edo Dai-Kagura Maruichi Maruichi Senoshachu, Maruichi Seno Maruichi, the 13th Iemoto (pictured above).

And to cover the Edo Dai-Kagura.

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

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

About two years ago, at the time of the interview of "Kamikaiki" by Eitaro Sohonho in Nihonbashi.

In Eitaro, Maruichi Senoshanaka's New Year's gate is being held, and I introduced a little bit.

It has been two years since I promised further introductions.

Moreover, this is an introduction of the main subject, Maruichi Edo Dai-Kagura, Senoshanaka, who waited in a double room.

Edo Dai-Kagura...

It is said that Dai-Kagura originated in the Heian period. It was the Edo period.

The reason for this is "Ise visit". The common people want to go to Ise-jingu Shrine once in a lifetime.

However, if you live far away, travel expenses are expensive and day-consuming. 15 days one way from Edo.

Therefore, the priests and children of Ise-jingu Shrine and Atsuta Jingu Shrine, which had also gathered religions, carry a lion head and travel to various places.

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

From here it is said that Dai-Kagura was written separately.

Maruichi Seno Shrine ...

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

This group went to Edo with the permission of Atsuta Jingu Shrine in 1664 (Kanbun 4), and went around large and small mansions to "exorcise".

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

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

Today, 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.

・・・ The introduction of the performance on the day will be followed by the middle and second part.

Ginza Matsuya's last New Year's project in Heisei began with the "Tsurutaro Kataoka" exhibition. "Multitalent" is an exhibition of "25th Anniversary of Painting and 45th Anniversary of Performing Arts", which reminds me that it is just a word for this person. As suggested in the exhibition, "Tsurutaro Kataoka has a face of an actor at some times, and sometimes works as an entertainer, but also a face as a painter or calligrapher. In 2017, he also earned the title of an Indian Government Certified Yoga Instructor, and I don't know that his multi-talented talents and activities will remain."

　

The venue is "free to shoot", so I took a lot of pictures. I would like you to enjoy the atmosphere of the venue. There are many "Mot Mount Fuji" near the entrance. And what I was interesting was the corner of "Narikiri Works" drawn "Narikiri" to Yayoi Kusama and Shiko Munakata. First of all, from the "shape", images such as red-haired Tsurutaro appearing in polka dot pattern fashion and working on production in the studio are played, and the audience around me is laughing. I sprang out unintentionally. It captures the characteristics skillfully, and the shape and work are "like". In addition, there are many other things that can be regarded as skull, such as works drawn by artists and talents on masks reminiscent of Noh masks.

　

　

This exhibition is perfect for the New Year.

Happy New Year. On January 3, I went to support the annual Hakone Ekiden and return route. Every year we support in front of Mitsukoshi. It was full of people who supported me again this year. Aoyama Gakuin University was desperately pursuing Tokai University, but in front of Mitsukoshi, Tokai University won the victory. I was watching until the end, but the TOP Group's running seemed to be tired at all. The figure of the player is also blurred in the picture. After that, he visited Fukutoku Shrine for the first time. There was also a line here. I have been praying for a safe and healthy year at home.

New Year's Day in the garden.

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

From the stall, which is set up to protrude into the pond, the scenery unique to winter spreads out.

Snow hanging is an accent to the winter garden.

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

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