One year's payment is to guardian god

[Shitamachi Tom] December 27, 2013 09:00

It's getting running low this year too. For those who are related to Chuo-ku, various memories will surely be mixed.

 

New Year's Eve Soba Sample jpgWhen Christmas is over, we're preparing for the New Year. It's a busy year for cleaning up, preparing New Year's dishes, and busy. And how would you like to spend New Year's Eve? People who are busy preparing for the New Year until the end, those who work during the year-end and New Year holidays, and those who spend a relaxing time ... each day looks back on the year.

  

Speaking of New Year's Eve, there are many people who eat "New Year's Eve soba". Originally, "New Year's Eve" means "Setsubun", which means that on this day we prayed for sound health and ate auspicious soba. In the lunar calendar, early spring was the New Year, so the previous day's Setsubun was probably the most important thing. Later, the last day of December became "New Year", and it became established throughout the country with the introduction of the solar calendar. Nowadays, it's a feature of New Year's Eve along with the "bell of night removal".

 

Haji Shrine great exorcism 2.jpgActually, there is another important traditional event on New Year's Eve. This is to visit great exorcism at the shrine. It is an important ceremony that removes everyday filth and entrusts wishes for the New Year together with "Nago Shinohara" on the eve of June. It has been held since the days of Nara and Heian. On this day, we will go through the Chinowa, which will cause trouble, and cleanse ourselves. And they dedicate a doll (persongata) by entrusting them to remove the filth on their behalf.

In the first place, the meaning of visiting a shrine is to express appreciation for everyday blessing and to remove mistakes and filth of the body. It is said that it is not a sudden wish.

Koami Shrine jpgIn this sense, great exorcism may be more meaningful than new year worshipping.

 

There are also a number of shrines in Chuo-ku that perform this ceremony. In my case, I've been involved in this event at [Nazuki Shrine], [Tetsugunsu Inari Shrine] and [Koami Shrine]. All of them were wrapped in the dignity and strictness cultivated in history and tradition, and I felt somewhat tight.

 

 

Gunshot 2.jpgWhy don't you visit a nearby shrine at the end of the year? Unlike the crowded grounds of new year worshipping, you can visit slowly.

Well, thank you very much for your help this year. I hope you have a good year.

[Silver] December 25, 2013 14:00

 On December 19, for the third consecutive year, "I came to listen to chorus by students of St. Luke's College of Nursing.

Everyone rushed during the daytime break in the rain and healed the people who visited with a clear chorus.

There are four songs that sang: "Elderly People", "Saint Night", "Akahana no Nakai", and "Santa came to town".

It was a really fun time when my heart was washed. Thank you for the wonderful song present.

Merry Christmas to you 

  
By the way, the mini health course is by dental hygienists Mayumi Takimoto and Keiko Sugiyama

The lecture was "Healthy longevity is from your mouth", and the subtitle was "Tooth energy, bone energy, brain energy".

 
According to the relationship between the number of remaining teeth and the total medical expenses, if the number of remaining teeth is large, the total medical expenses will be reduced.

People with healthy gums and people with more than 20 teeth are about 200,000 yen.

It was introduced that people with low teeth and diabetes cost about 310,000 yen.

 Also, in the talk about the relationship between the number of residual teeth and dementia, we are talking about the relationship between dementia.

When the teeth are low, the irritation that the chewing exercise does not have to the brain, so it is easy to develop dementia.

I've been listening seriously to the importance of keeping the oral cavity clean and to clean my tongue.

 I was told that the exercise was also important, and decided to do it every day immediately.

Well, this year is a little more. Keep your precious teeth and mouth clean, eat delicious food, and have a good New Year.

 Chuo-ku is like a cluster of antenna shops in each prefecture, and there are many wonderful shops especially in Ginza.

 Even so, at Ginza 1-chome, there are antenna shops in Okinawa, Kochi, Ibaraki and Fukui prefectures.

 Tokushima Prefecture's "Emon Arade Tokushima" opened the other day in the shimeku place.

 In front of the shop, a video of Awa Odori was performed.

 Iya is famous for its Kazura valley, but the soba here is a gem. I bought it for New Year's Eve soba.

Kyoto vegetable in downtown "Back alley story" IN Ningyocho

[kimitaku] December 18, 2013 08:36

 

 On the way to Koharu weather. 

 Walk along Koza-dori from the intersection of Genji store (Gen Ya Dana) toward Kanda in the west.

I found Kyoto vegetables in the second alley.

 P1000638-ieb.jpgP1000645-1jinn.jpg

 

 Fresh vegetables.

 I was exposed to the clear skin in the winter sunshine.

P1000639-kuro.jpgP1000640-1.jpg

 I asked my husband.

 The husband and the landlady of Hiiragiya, a very famous ryokan in Kyoto, are cousin.

 An acquaintance with a vegetable research institute of an NPO I met near Daimaru Department Store near Nishikikoji.

It seems that they are having different vegetables.

 

 My husband has lived in Ningyocho for a long time and has also participated in the baseball team (Nihonbashi Dorinkers).

I also showed you the picture.

 

 Kyoto vegetables ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ ・ Vegetables that have pale colors and somehow gentle scent of soil.

  

 Black bean shrimp potato from Kujo Negi Tamba of canola flower Kamogawa in Sagano  

 The bright red Kintoki carrot is even more transparent than the maple of Arashiyama.

It seems that they are open for two people, while the husband is dealing with me, the landlady said, distributing leaflets to the Neighborhood Association, and customers immediately.

P1000646-1.jpgP1000644-1jinn.jpg 

 I also bought Kyoyama potatoes all-you-can-pack 500 yen shrimp potatoes.

 It seems that the shop opens about once a month.

 

 It is said that the next day is just after New Year, and we plan to open a store in Kachidoki "marche of the Sun".

Here in Ningyocho, it seems that the sales space is a little small and you are looking for a place where you can always sell.

[Tachibana] December 3, 2013 14:00

The second installment of wholesaler release information is sales to amateurs at companies that manufacture and wholesale ties and other products.

This is an introduction to the following.

The company is Horikoshi tie Co., Ltd. located in 1-chome, Higashi-Nihonbashi.

For less than 70 years since its founding, Horikoshi has been working on ties by overcoming the wave of Cool Biz and overcoming the wave of Cool Biz. It seems that all the original brand ties of a major supermarket are made by Horikoshi.

We usually open showrooms for professional buyers, as well as our own ties, mufflers, and pocket-chiefs.

Import brands such as Ferragamo Armani are also available.

The price, including import, is almost half of the market price.

In this way, there is no problem with the quality of the sale where the wholesaler opens his own store, so you can shop with confidence.

Continuing from last year, I bought a tie and pocket cuff again this year.

It's a bargain from fashionable import brands to ties that can be a company every day.
The products we handle are specialized for men, so how about women as gifts?
