Shonoro Yamanaka's exhibition "Various White Time" is being held at St. Luke's First Gallery at the restaurant entrance on the first floor of the main building of St. Luke's International Hospital in Akashicho.

This is an annual exhibition by pastel painters.

Yamanaka's exhibition has been introduced several times in this blog.

The casual gestures of cats, humorous poses, lovely expressions, beautiful eyes, etc. are beautifully expressed in pastel paintings and rubbing brush paintings.

This time, I thought there were many new works that captured the moments of dynamic movement.

The period is until 16:00 on February 9th (Sat).

At the venue, postcards and one-stroke notes are also sold.

It's a big season to go outside, but works that make you feel warm are waiting for you.

Please drop in

In addition, this time, we received the consent of the person who was in the Hiari corridor about the photography in the gallery, and we were able to hear stories about the schedule of the next exhibition.

Thank you very much

Sunday, February 3 I went to the Setsubun Festival at Suitengu Shrine in Nihonbashikakigaracho. The main purpose is bean-throwing ceremony, a special guest. At around 13:30, the first and second parts consisted of two parts, lined up in the corridor on the first floor of Suitengu. Wait about an hour, and the entrance starts around 14:30. For bean-throwing ceremony, the worshipers who had entered before were sent out and replaced. The general moderator on the stage is Shinichi Ishihara, a singer, voice actor, and actor who is active in anison such as "Masked Rider AGITO". At around 14:50, the festival attendees bean-throwing ceremony began. At the end of that, a special guest will finally appear, this time, Chieko Mizutani (Tomochika) and Kotaro Yachi, who will be performing at "Tonchini Shogun Ikyu Nee-san" from February 22 to March 4 at Meijiza It was. After a light talk with Mr. Ishihara, the moderator, bean-throwing ceremony started. In a loud cheer, bean-throwing ceremony was smiling. Next guests were Yosuke Taikawa and Kumiko Fujiyoshi. I was bean-throwing ceremony with my acquaintance with the priest of Suitengu Shrine. At around 15:30, the first part is over, and the second part is left for replacement.

In order to enter the second part, you have to line up at the end. The first part of the second part is a mini-live. The performers were Shinichi Ishihara, the general moderator, Satoko Yamano of Doraemon's song, and Isao Bito of Joe tomorrow. Shinichi Ishihara's powerful `` Anison Medley '', Satoko Yamano's transparent nursery rhyme and Doraemon's song, and nostalgic Isao Bito's `` Tango of red demon and blue demon '' and `` Joe of tomorrow '' I was intoxicated by the wonderfulness of each singer. Next is bean-throwing ceremony, a general participant. Participation fee is 5,000 yen for adults and 2,000 yen for children. Many people were participating. After that, it was a special guest, bean-throwing ceremony. In addition, Satoko Yamano's "Satoko Sister and Hand Play Pokapoka Children's Stage" was held after 5:00, but I am sorry that I could not see it due to priority to children.

Today (February 3), the day of Setsubun, I participated in the 11th Chuo-ku Tourism Test. It was a warm day of the week. I took the 7th and 8th exams, but I was thinking about stopping it anymore, and recently I'm busy, but I've never taken the exam after a long absence.

　

　This test should be used as an opportunity to carefully read "Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia" for several days a year while walking around the city while being interested in history, etc., and should continue to take it every year if possible. Will be.

　I've been taking the exam for the first time in a long time, but I felt that the questions were well devised. There are some small parts to say that it is fine, but should you think that it is necessary to walk around the ward on a daily basis and pay attention to the details and read the text carefully?

　For example, the question of photography problems. It is 42, but indeed, this photo is listed on page 3 of the text as "Edo Sakura-dori St.". However, there is also a photo of "Nihonbashi Sakura-dori St." just above, so it is quite difficult to distinguish the building that serves as a landmark, and it is impossible to distinguish it only by photographs. I answered "Nihonbashi Sakura-dori St.."

However, if I walked through this area, I would have been able to easily find the correct answer in the part of the question sentence "I photographed the road from Nihonbashi Honishi-cho to Nihonbashi Honmachi". The map of "Nihonbashi / Kyobashi Area" on page 192 of the text clearly shows "Edo Sakura-dori St." and "Sakura-dori St.".

 

 

This is a landscape painting exhibition by Arata Kimura, which is being held at Gallery Ginza, a gallery in Ginza 2-chome.

The theme is "Light, Impression, and Ease", and the event period is from Saturday, January 26 to February 7 (Thu).

Please note that the time is from 10 am to 6:30 pm, but the last day is until 5 pm

Mr. Kimura's exhibition at the gallery was introduced on this blog last March.

Mr. Kimura's commitment that he taught at the last time, "Draw everything from base to completion at the site" is still continuing.

The very cold winter scenery covered with snow may capture the atmosphere there just because Mr. Kimura was drawn at the scene.

I am impressed by the beauty of Japan's four seasons, the warmth of early spring, the freshness of fresh greenery, the lyrical at dusk, and the loneliness of late autumn are all incorporated into the picture.

Mr. Kimura's elaborate brushing, which does not loosen up to one of the twigs of the tree, felt a sincere approach to the work, and I was able to appreciate it really comfortably.

The venue is on both the first and second floors of Gallery Ginza.

In addition, this time, we received your consent about the photography in the gallery, and we were able to hear valuable stories from Mr. Kimura, who was in the corridor at the time of the visit, such as the origin of the title of the work I'm done

Thank you very much

On Friday, February 1, I went to "Fugen Sha Rakuken" Yanagiya Yanagiya Yanagiya Rakugo Night, which started at 7:00 p.m.

It seems to be the 20th time.

In commemoration of the 20th, Yanagi's banner was renewed.

The venue is Tsukiji 1-chome, the second floor of the Tsukiji Garden Building, Communication Gallery Fugen.

It's the red spot on the map below.

The performer is Yanagiya Yanagiya of "Sankyo Ichimon".

It was 2 hours in a flash after the start of 7 o'clock with two seats across the middle.

The performances are "Teacher's Story" and "House Cat", plenty of pillows, Yanagi-san, a great performance.

The proximity of the distance to the performer is completely different from other vaudevilles.

Rakugo listening to Hanakin (old) night while drinking coffee with one drink was the best!

One week's fatigue can be blown away by Yanagi's story, and the weekend can be greeted comfortably.

By the way, at the venue, a photo exhibition of monochrome owned by Fugen is currently being held entitled "The World of Monochrome-Fugen-sha Collection Exhibition".

The period is until Saturday, February 16.
