 The summer tradition, Setomono Market, will be held from August 3 (Mon) to 5 (Wed) from 9:00 to 20:00. The place is on both sidewalks of Ningyocho-dori from the Suitengu intersection to Ningyocho intersection. You can walk many round trips while thinking about what to buy, eat and shop at a long-established store in Ningyocho Shopping Street, and enjoy all day long. After noon is crowded with quite a few people, so the time I recommend is morning or evening.

It can be found in many bargains such as Edo Kiriko, ceramics, vases, lacquer vessels and chopsticks. I think the reason why it is popular is that you can buy good things at a conscience price.

We recommend the corner where you can experience an electric potter's wheel that can be enjoyed by adults and children. There are people who teach me one by one, so even beginners like me can make something they like very much.

If you write a sending slip regardless of color, the work will be delivered to your house in a few weeks. It is unique to the cheapest city, which is about 1000 yen including mailing cost. Why don't you try shopping and try to create a work? It's so fun.

　On July 22nd, you can observe the solar eclipse here in Tokyo for the first time in five years. At Time Dome Akashi Local Tenmonkan, a guide just before the solar eclipse will be provided from 1:00 pm on the 20th, which will explain in detail the phenomenon of the solar eclipse and how to observe it. Free, anyone. Unlike before, painting ink on sunglasses and transparent underlays, or soot on the glass with candles to see the sun, it turns out that it hurts your eyes, requires special glasses, and it seems that it is already in short supply .　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　

　NHK News on the 15th introduced how to observe the ground as well as look up the sun, if you can't go up, look down. It means that you can observe the solar eclipse even on the sunbeams that leak from between the trees. Why don't you observe the solar eclipse under the sunbeams while strolling around Tsukiji's St. Luke Garden, Akatsuki Park and Tsukiji River Green Road in search of coolness?

This spring, on the Tsukiji side of Kachidokibashi, an "introduction passage for wheelchairs and baby carriages" descending to the Sumida River Terrace was opened.

Until now, there was only one installation road for construction workers on the St. Luke Garden side, which was inconvenient for wheelchair users.

With the opening of the introduction route from Kachidokibashi, the Sumida River Terrace has become even more convenient and easier to use.

It is a gentle passage that goes to the Tokyo Mizube Line sightseeing boat yard and a resting place where you can see water birds and flowers of the four seasons.

The introduction stairs to the Sumida River Terrace were added to the Kachidoki side of Kachidokibashi.

Until now, it was a short terrace from Kachidoki Hashimoto, but it was inconvenient for terrace users only because there was an introduction stairs far from Kachidokibashi.

With the installation of the introduction stairs, it was descended directly from Kachidokibashi to the Sumida River Terrace on the Kachidoki side, making it easier to use for passing through.

It is a gentle stairway that approaches water birds on the waterside of the Sumida River and the flowers of the four seasons.

This is a continuation from the Nihonbashi Long-established Relay Tour (VOL.1).

After that, I visited the gallery, which was not on the original schedule, in a hurry.

I visited "Tsubaki Modern Gallery", which is named "Famous Gallery that can be recommended" (The works on display are for sale, so I refrained from shooting here. Therefore, there are no images.

I usually fly around the world, and the owner, who was almost always waiting, welcomed me warmly.

I also thought that "art galleries" was a place that should only be entered when purchasing paintings, etc., but the owner said, "I want to go to museums and museums more easily. It's welcome just to appreciate it. "

Thank you very much for serving the tea on the sudden visit.

Nihonbashi Kaishin

Ise Kuwana's palace, famous for the phrase "Kuwana's grilled clams", was eaten by this "Kaishin"'s time rain boiled (Note 1).

It originated in Ise and Kuwana in 1596 (1569), and Edo was moved to Nihonbashi for 120 years.

Note 1 ・ ・ Honrai said "Shiraini", but it seems that it was named "Tsukudani" after being moved to Edo.

What surprised me was that Edo (Tokyo) is behind a shop in the middle of Nihonbashi Muromachi, and today, all products are handmade.

I listened to the explanation of craftsmanship that could not be achieved in a very day or two days, such as how much it was produced during production and how to determine when it was boiled, and sampled the freshly completed Tsukudani (dried rice with dryness) Let's meet).

Then we moved to the shop and heard the landlady's explanation.

Of course, the representative product is "Shigure Clam", but there are many other types. On this day, we had a little discount, and all the participants were shopping!

In the past, most of the things were dry in the past, but the number of sweet ones increased according to the tastes of modern people, the most popular is `` scallop red plum boiled '', and `` Omusubi kelp '' is popular with housewives It seems to be! Then, this is also a popular "Raku Ami" as a souvenir!

I don't seem to have a website. This is the address of the site where the introduction of the store or the product appears. http://www.rakuten.ne.jp/gold/edo-noren/edo/kaishin_top.html

Next, I would like to report on the next time (VOL.3).
