Play lovers and kimono lovers often overlap. The topic of tea after the theater is the tips for dressing "eye to scale". This month, after Nissei, it became a story about "waist strings", and from One Sama, who has been in kimono for more than 70 years, enthusiastically recommended that "waist strings are limited to the silk of the Tsuda family." As a person who has never been concerned about the waist strap brand, "!?" 。 However, I can ignore that confidence-filled One Sama's recommendation. ・・

That's why I decided to bother you right away. "Tsuda family" is a long-established store in Ginza that no one knows as a specialty store of Japanese accessories. This year marks the 100th anniversary of our founding in 1914 (1914). Ushigome-ku, where it was founded (!) In 1943, when Yamabukicho moved to Ginza during the war, it became the current building in 1986 (1986), and the third generation president Akihiko Tsuda lived in Ginza until high school students. (Lie!)

Actually, I always go in front of the Tsuda family, but this is the first time I have stepped in today. While somewhat nervous, look at the Japanese and Western bags at the 1st floor sales floor and clothes made of kimono materials, go to B1, the target Japanese accessories. When you go down the stairs, you will find small items such as obiage, obi tightening, undergarments, tabi, and hair accessories. The size is available for children. I found something unusual. It is a makeup product for the stage. I was surprised to hear that most of the male customers are cosmetics customers. It seems that there are many actors. Speaking of which, it was on HP that it was a "cosmetic booth" at the time of its founding. Now, from the waist cords you are looking for, short ones for children to simple plains, cute ones with a little pattern. There was! Silk (2,100 yenya) It's a little expensive compared to moslin, but it's a bit expensive! Thank you for making a point card. This point card called "Ginkikai" seems to be the start of 1949 (1949), and now there are point cards in any industry, so it is impossible to enter your wallet, but at that time it is ahead of the times I was impressed that it was a marketing sense. If you look closely, this card, "1 point for 1000 yen (cash), 3,000 yen for 50 points", is a 6% return rate! ! It's my first time to have such a great deal. Is that all right, Mr. Tsuda? In addition, he was taught "no deadline" and ran unintentionally like "lucky". I'm ashamed. ・・・

I'd like to take a closer look, but I'd like to relax next time. Wonderland is fun for kimono lovers, it's a little dangerous shop for your wallet.

1. Oar Information

It seems that the 100th anniversary appreciation sale is scheduled for March 22-28 and November.

 The exhibition at Sony Plaza Ginza will always entertain the viewer. In the summer, the fish at the Churaumi Aquarium, and today we are transmitting dreams and culture to us, like Flower Valentine 2013. I admire it as a very respectable social contribution activity.

Today, I came to get a Sony Plaza member Sony Card.　When I went up to the 4th floor and issued the card, in addition to explaining how to operate the card reader, he immediately added the card points to the store. Here on the 4th floor, we also hold briefings on new products, so it is a must-see place.　When I got down to the 2nd floor and explained the new product, he was kind and polite.　Right now, Ginzo is planning to buy a new product with radio. This new product has a recording reservation function, and recording can be done on SD, so it is very convenient.

In retrospect, I brought SONY radio from my first overseas assignment in 1976 to Brazil in 1995 and St Martin Island in the Caribbean Sea in 1997.　One of the reasons for Ginzo is that the gift for those who are overseas assignments is radio who can listen to NHK Japanese broadcasting. For your information. 　http://www.sonybuilding.jp/

If you go up the stairs at Tsukiji Market Station on the Oedo Subway Line, you will see the Asahi Shimbun right in front of you.
There is a security guard at the entrance, and it is an atmosphere where unrelated people cannot enter, but in fact, this building is also a path to the Hamarikyu Asahi Hall, where concerts are often held. The concourse on the second floor to get to the hall contains facilities that can be used by the general public, such as restaurants and cafes.

The bookstore in it is BookCumu (BookCumu).

According to Mr. Watanabe, the store manager, most of the visitors are still related to the Asahi Shimbun, so the first thing that comes to notice is books on political, economic and current affairs.
Although it is a small shop with less than 20 tsubo, there are many humanities science books such as Iwanami Shoten, Misuzu Shobo, Fujiwara Shoten, which are only super-large bookstores such as Yaesu Book Center.
Furthermore, in Bunko and Shinsho, in the Ginza area after Kondo Shoten and Asahiya Shoten disappeared, in addition to Iwanami Bunko and Shinsho, which are only found in Kyobunkan, Tsunogawa Sophia Bunko, which contains many Japanese classical literature, Kodansha Gakugei Bunko, and Chikuma Gakugei Bunko, are piled up in books that stimulate intellectual curiosity.

Above all, in the "Media Journalism" section, books on all media other than newspapers, such as magazines, television, and internet, from basic journalism theory to the latest developments in the IT era, are lined up. It feels like a bookstore in a newspaper company.
This is a corner created with the advice of a reporter once saying, "Because it is a bookstore in a newspaper company, even if it is narrow, if it is a corner for media and journalism."
The reporter died early, so it seems that it is also the so-called memorial corner.

In addition, of course, there are new books and magazines published by Asahi Shimbun Publishing, and back issues such as Weekly Asahi and Aera are in stock until about a month ago.
(Because it happens to be out of stock or out of stock, be sure to check the stock by phone before visiting the store.)

The business is from 10:00 to 18:00 from Monday to Friday, so it may be difficult for those who work in the daytime, but it is a few "bookstores where shelves talk about" that can only be understood by book lovers .
If you have a chance, please come and visit us.
