Time slip in the Edo period at Nihonbashi Ningyocho Sako Luo (Sakura)

[kimitaku] December 30, 2012 09:00

   Get off at Ningyocho Station on the Hibiya Line in the direction of Kodemmacho, proceed at the intersection toward Kanda, and turn left at the second intersection.

 If you go shortly, you will find Nihonbashi Elementary School and Nihonbashi Library on your right.

 This place was Saigo Takamori's residence in the Meiji era, and Ginza of the Shogunate was located around the Edo era.

 

Behind the elementary school, there is a kimono shop "Sako Luo" on the first floor of the left building.


sakurajyosei.jpg The elegant shop was run by a couple, and both of them were dressed in kimono.


 It has been several decades since it opened here in Ningyocho. The atmosphere is as it is, a time slip in the Edo period.

 In the shop, many cloths are displayed neatly and you want to pick them up.

・・・ I asked my husband in detail about kimono.


kiji.jpgWhat is a tailoring?

First, measure the dimensions of the customer's body. I measure it with a measure called whale shaku.

Dimensions are as large as men. Increase the dimensions by 3 minutes and add 5 parts to measure the dimensions.

In the past, many people were used as everyday clothes and shortened to make it easier to move. It is said that this is the main thing.

There is also a customer's preference, but the kimono varies greatly depending on each dress.

It seems that the length is different depending on how you take it.

Even under the coherence or when it comes to collapse, if the collar comes out and pulls it, it's easy to fix it.

I hear you have some promises to go to a kimono. If you keep it, you will be able to wear it beautifully and comfortably.


: : : Also, the wonderful thing about kimono is that if you unravel all the kimono threads, it will completely return to the original cloth.

It seems that it can be said to be the essence of ecology today. : : :

 

<Notes> Antimonos: : It is a fabric that tailors one kimono, its unit.  Whale Shaku: : A unit for measuring objects, one shaku is a 5-minute (about 38 cm) of a curved shaku, originally a measure made of whale beards.  Covenant: : The lower part of the collar

 

For more information, please see the homepage of "Sako Luo" (basic knowledge until tailoring).

It's really kind enough to explain.  Beginner, a must-see for researchers.

 

sakurasyujinn.jpg When I asked my husband about the kimono situation, it is said that the number of kimono creators has now decreased.

 Now, I can't eat it in kimono making, and in Kyoto where I recently visited, some people are taxi drivers.

 He was a skillful traditional craftsman of Nishijin.

 The master said that there were almost no spelling craftsmen or old traditional heirs, and that it was deplorable.

 There is also a traditional craft that makes a cut on each finger's claw, passes it through it, and weaves it. It seems that the tradition from Nara period is now gone like a light of fire.

At the kimono shop "Sako Luo"

It is said that a "Kimono Training Class" is being held. 
It is also said that "Introductory Course for Kimono Study" is also being held.


 If you want to know more about kimono, please come and visit us.

 It seems that kimonos offer special products that are a bit different from other stores.


 My husband said that he would like to visit us at any time, and that he would like to share this wonderful kimono culture to as many customers as possible.

Yokoyamacho and Bakurocho wholesale district

[Mido] December 28, 2012 09:00

I don't think any further explanation is needed now, but Nihonbashi Yokoyama-cho and Bakurocho are Japan.
It's the biggest cash wholesale district. It is surrounded by Edo-dori St., Kiyosubashi-dori and Yasukuni Dori.
The triangular zone is always crowded with shoppers.
In particular, I say "nothing is not" for clothing, textiles, and clothing.
I think it's going to be.

According to historical literature, there were 19 wholesalers in 1792.
After that, in 1827, it became 62 houses and developed as a wholesale district.
I think it was.
Yokoyamacho has been a wholesale district since the Edo period, but Bakurocho was a town of inn at that time.
To stay in Bakurocho and carefully select items in the wholesale district of Yokoyamacho.
It seems that it was a good idea.

Because it is a wholesale district, sometimes "I refuse amateurs" and "I do not retail"
I see the posters I wrote at the entrance, but at most shops, I also sell them to individuals.
I'll give you it. The price is surprisingly low, for example,
・3 ties 1050 yen
・4 socks 525 yen
・Leather belt 300 yen
・Sweater 680 yen
・All items in the store 400 yen

It's not only cheap, but also good things and good for the common people.
It's a wholesale district. If you're looking for clothing, textiles, or clothing, you'll definitely want to do it.
I think it's a spot I want to stop by.

 On December 20, 2012 (Thursday), a "Christmas song" was performed by the St. Luke's College of Nursing Choir and the sign language club from 12:00. She expressed her feelings in familiar sign language, and was impressed by her singing in a clear voice. (The resolution has been reduced to protect portrait rights.)

Following the mini-lecture, following last month, there was a very useful dental hygiene lecture by Mayumi Takimoto (hygienist) entitled Health Lecture "Health is From Your Mouth". If you have 20 teeth until the age of 80, you can live a healthy life, so please take care of them, clean your tongue with a soft brush, and tell you about periodontal disease.

As a local citizen, I am using this way.


①Starbucks on the first floor.
The decorations are beautiful during Christmas season.

②In the basement shop, you can buy a cutlet sandwich from Maiizumi and a lunch box from a famous shop.
The assortment is quite good, and there are some sweets that you don't see much in the shop.


③ATMs of Sumitomo Mitsui and the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ

It's on the first floor. Thank you very much for being free.


Please refer to it when you take a stroll through Akashicho.
