Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

I would like to introduce two of the exhibitions being held at LIXIL Gallery in Kyobashi.

One is the repair of the Fujiya Hotel.

Fujiya Hotel, a landmark in Hakone. Classic hotels, which celebrated its 140th anniversary in 2018, are well known for their many fans who want to stay again once. This time, "Hakone has a corporate culture that can be covered by everything in-house since its establishment. In the past, there were car companies and ranches, and not only laundry but also daily printed materials on their own.

The times have often changed in the wave of efficiency in circulation, but it is still the repair and repair of Fujiya Hotel's architecture and furniture and fixtures, as described in the pamphlet. It is a slightly different exhibition focusing on the work of the hotel's "repair" job.

First of all, the guest room "Hana Goten's Room Key", which is about 20x10cm. All the information cards in the hotel are also on display of the printing type used at that time, from the work of "Maintenance" to the menu card.

The other is the 18th edition of the “Future of Creation” series, “What is“ Kogei ”?...It's an exhibition.

Twelve works of ceramics, dyeing and weaving, metalwork, bamboo work, and kirikin by 12 contemporary craft artists, including two important cultural property holders (living national treasures), are exhibited. According to the supervisor Ryohei Miyata, "If we can ask what art is from the ground up by bringing together works with transmission power that make use of various materials and techniques....」

　

What a good day! I was surrounded by works and took up a luxurious time alone. We have received permission to post photos, so please enjoy the photos first, and then take a look at the venue.

The last day of "Fujiya Hotel Maintenance" Saturday, February 23

"What is Kogei?...On the last day, March 19 (Tuesday)

10am-6pm

　

 

 

At "Gallery Ginza" in Ginza 2-chome, a solo exhibition by Masato Sakuma, "Always Time in the Cat Town" is being held.

The event period is from February 11 (Mon./holiday) to February 17 (Sun).

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

At this time of last year, I introduced a solo exhibition by painter and illustrator Sakuma held at the gallery.

Mr. Sakuma has been active in various fields, such as many picture books, books and magazines' drawings and illustrations, CD jackets, and advertising illustrations.

In addition, this time, it was said that he worked on the binding of a period novel, and the original picture was also exhibited, and I am surprised at the spread of Sakuma's work.

In addition, you can appreciate the original picture of the "retro modern" landscape and the "Sakuma World" where the cats drawn there are impressive.

The unique angle with a bird's-eye view of the cat's perspective, the nostalgic scenery of the city, and the impressive use of colors create a quiet space and create a safe time.

At the venue, original postcards and original tote bags are also sold.

In addition, we received special consent from the person himself regarding photography in the gallery.

Thank you very much

"If you have a small size, you can do it with a burner work on hand, but (things of a certain size) the accessories are also taken from the kiln in the same way as other glass works, so the size that can be wound is larger.

It is made by winding a 1200-degree glass and cooled over a day in a kiln called a slow-cooling furnace.

If it cools rapidly, the glass will break.

Also, air may enter when it gets cold. It may expand and break.

When I opened it, the color changed. 100% is quite difficult.

One thing is free (even if there is a change)."

If it is a product that is listed in the catalog, it seems good to be finished uniformly.

Hello. I'm a new correspondent (Hanes)
As you can see when you look into the department stores in Ginza and Nihonbashi, Valentine's Day is approaching!
Cute sweets are lined up in stores, including overseas chocolates that you can't usually buy.
In recent years, there has been a growing tendency for women to buy slightly luxurious chocolates for themselves.
I feel that chocolate variations are becoming more and more abundant.


(Purchased at Matsuya Ginza 8F. It is a women's favorite royal road and Instagrammable ◎)

There are many delicious chocolate shops in Chuo-ku, so I can't introduce them.
This time, I would like to introduce some heart spots in Chuo-ku that you can enjoy regardless of men and women of all ages.
In addition to Instagram, you may be happy if you visit!

■Ginza area
・GINZA SIX Rooftop Garden (Ginza 6-10-1)
I introduced it in the first article after my correspondent debut.
Hearts can also be enjoyed from the rooftop garden (where is it?)
It is a heart spot that seems known and actually is not well known yet.

・Tenshodo Ginza Main Store (Ginza 4-3-9)
As you all know, there is a cute angel at the corner of this jewelry shop.
This is the work of sculptor Asahiko Yamada, which was set up during the renewal of the Tenshodo in 1997.
As the correspondent seniors have often introduced, wearing a Santa cap depending on the season.
It is a great photo spot for both Japanese and overseas.


(Even if you become a familiar angel, you will take a picture every time you pass nearby.)

Well, you are such an angel, but did you know what you have?
I think you can imagine someone with good intuition, but yes. It's a heart arrow!
I've heard the story that "stroking your head will make love."
Please check this heart when you stroking your head.


(The angel's head tells us that many people have been stroking.)

・Chuo-dori (Ginza-dori)
In fact, heart can now be seen on the main street of Ginza!
Its identity is the leaves of the street tree "Katsura"
Unfortunately, I can't see this season, but I'd like to go see it when it gets warmer.

・Place name sign (This time, we will use a photo of Ginza 3-chome on behalf of.)
This is a "hidden heart" that is a little nice if you find it.
It may be a little overdoing, but did you find it?



The answer is here!



In addition, the heart may be hidden in such places and places that pass sideways many times.

■Tsukiji area
・Tsukiji Honganji (3-15-1 Tsukiji)
It may be surprising, but there is also something like a heart here.
You can see it all over the premises, including main hall.



Well, the reason why I dared to write "like a heart".
In fact, this is not a heart, it is called "Inome".
Since ancient times, it has been used in shrines and temples in the sense of amulet and invitation.



And the name "Inome" is literally derived from "Inoshino eyes".
This year is the year of the boar, so why not look for Inome when visiting shrines and temples?



■Harumi area
・Harumi Wharf
I haven't been able to see it yet, but there seems to be a spot where you can see a series of hearts here.
That's the self-proclaimed “power spot that calls happiness” introduced by senior correspondent George Mayame!
I want to put this on Instagram.
For more information, please refer to the following article.

By the way, I have introduced six heart spots, how was it?
I hope there is also one place where you can think, "I want to go here!"
Because of the Valentine's season, I came to a department store to shop.
Do you not go around heart spot in Chuo-ku?

 

 

Setsubun, Ritsuharu and February also started running. I remember Tatsunosuke Onoe, who died too early at the age of 40, as if it had been so long after seeing that "the first Tatsunosuke Onoe 33rd anniversary".

When the night performance "Mezuki Hachiman Festival" (Shinsuke Shuya) was performed at Kabukiza in 1983, Shinsuke Shuya was Tatsunosuke, Miyoshi was Takao (Nizaemon), and Geisha Miyoyoshi was Tamasaburo . This time, there is a follow-up, and Nizaemon and Tamasaburo meet the relationship with Matsu Midori. The enchanting entanglement between Tamasaburo and Nizaemon, the role of Joyu, creates a unique atmosphere of a famous combination for many years. In the scene where Shinsuke Shuya, who was betrayed and confused by the drizzle of the collapse of Eitai Bridge on the day of the Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine Festival, killed Miyokichi, when the drizzle spread on the stage, the vinyl cover distributed `` for the use of this water '' It is a turn. It's distributed up to the second row today. It's something exciting to find it on your seat.

　

"Today's Holiday Harukoma" is a dance of Soga kyogen, and Goro Soga's eldest son is near the left of Matsu Midori's eldest son, but Kumatori also appears very well, and his neighbor "It looks like Tatsunonosuke!" 。 "Kumagaya Jinya" is Mr. Yoshiemon, and the psychology of Kumagaya is transmitted straight, and handkerchiefs are here and there. It's a famous performance.

Matsu Midori plays the first role of "Sushiya" Igami Gonta in the daytime, and is "Oshimatsu in the Darkness" and "Dango sales".

Special brewing "Kumagaya" and "Igami no Gonta" have been released following this month's performance.

The 26th of February Daikabuki is Senakiraku.

For inquiries, please contact Ticket Hon Shochiku 0570-000-489 (10:00 to 18:00).
