 I was introduced to a monja shop where you can drink Tsukishima beer. 

This is Miso-no-san, just near Nishinaka-dori.

 I received "Nishinaka-dori police box label". It's a fruity taste.

 It seems that it is also located on "Treasure Island" and "Ebisuya" on Nishinaka-dori. Try it.

I think it is good as a "Tsukishima souvenir" and as a giftpresent. 

 Tonight, have another drink of Kachidokibashi! beer

 The Paula Museum Annex in Ginza 1-chome always has many women.

I'm sorry for the first time this time.

It is written.

 Another panel describes Kirishima's way of life and the life he has followed.

It is described as an antique, but it is a very nice collection.

 A woman who watched Yoko Kirishima's story seriously on a TV monitor and listened to it.

It was very impressive. The website of the Paula Museum Annex is available. ↓

It took a while to cool the lingering of excitement.

 

 Yes, in Gallery 2, you can browse the literature on Inax's business.

 Then, I asked for a book on "500 million years of memory plant fossils" on sale.

giboshi Kuroeya in Nihonbashi

[Yurikamome] July 6, 2010 14:00

      2010_0705 Nihonbashi Giboshi. JPG

Right next to Nihonbashi, Kuroeya's show window was decorated with giboshi in Nihonbashi.

Genroku 2 (1689), a famous lacquerware production area, a person who came to Edo from Nagusa Kuroe Village (now Hainan City) in Kii Kuni (1689)

It started with the opening of a lacquerware shop in Nihonbashi.

It has been 300 years since the curtain was raised on the side of Nihonbashi.

After the war, during the turmoil, there was a time when various items other than lacquerware were placed in stores.

One day, an antique shop mistakenly for a secondhand dealer and came to sell giboshi when Nihonbashi was wooden.

It seems that this was also a connection for something, and it was taken over and left as it was, but if you look closely ...

"September 1658 Bo Dog Year (1658) September 1658 lucky day Nihonbashi Carpenter Shiina Hyogo" was engraved.

Many people who understand that it is the right thing of history are displayed on the show case at the entrance of the building.

The portable shrine at Nihonbashi 1-chome is made to imitate this giboshi.   

 

     Confectionery utensils and clocks ... painted clocks are likely to be appreciated as souvenirs to foreign countries.

     Pendant: The fine pattern is beautifully finished.

     I put lacquer on a basket made of bamboo.

     It seems that the more you use it, the more you see it.  It's wonderful as a summer bag. 

       2010_0705 Kuroeya Summer Back. JPG  

 

    I thought it would be good for a wedding gift or a souvenir to foreign countries.

We handle a lot of goods, but the above are some of my attention.

In addition, we also repair old lacquerware.

If you repair something you have forgotten in the house, it will be revived beautifully.

From events with hometown to world affairs-News Art Salon

[The cat on the slope] July 6, 2010 08:30

Local qualifying for the summer national high school baseball championships has begun in various places.

A recommended spot at this time when you are worried about the results of your hometown's alma mater and powerful schools is the news art salon in Tsukuda.

 

News Art Salon is a space established by Kyodo News Co., Ltd. on the first floor of the company's training and exchange center as a cultural facility open to society and can be used by anyone.

 

Address: 2-1-3 Tsukuda, Chuo-ku (10-minute walk from Exit 4 of Tsukishima Station on the Yurakucho Line and Oedo Line)

Opening hours: 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Closed days: Sunday, Monday, national holiday, New Year's holiday, old Bon period

   

 Photo 1.JPG  Photo 2.JPG

Various photos that convey Ayumi of history lined up on the wall leading from the entrance

Here, you can see the latest news from Japan and abroad, as well as valuable photographs and videos that describe the history so far. I'm a little nervous about the facilities of the news agency, but when I asked for permission to take photos, the staff was very kind to guide me.

Thank you very much, Mr. Nakajima!

                The news is displayed like an artwork of the museum.

                     A bright and spacious reading space overlooking the Sumida River

And as I wrote at the beginning, what I am particularly happy at this time is newspapers all over the country lined up.

Even in the age of the Internet, as a paper group, I still want to read newspapers with both hands.

Information on the progress from the first round of regional qualifying and small episodes of each school player are available.

Only for detailed coverage of local paper. In addition to high school baseball, it is not included in national newspapers.

Local news, novels serialized by unexpected authors in unexpected local newspapers, etc.

There's plenty of charm in local newspapers.

 

Photo 7.JPG  Photo 8.JPG

7 papers in Tokyo and 49 local papers are beautifully arranged. Where shall we visit today?

 

Photo 9.JPGYou can also touch the panel to compare the paper layout of newspapers in each region on the screen.

 

I was a little proud to see that the glass building in the corner of Tsukuda surrounded by high-rise apartment buildings condensed various news from all over Japan to the world, and from the past to the present.
