Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

When I ask her about the situation, she is wearing nice clothes that she doesn't sell anywhere, she says she's a boutique dress.
Immediately, when I visited, the shop was located on the second floor of the building next to the UNIQLO Ginza store on Ginza 6-chome Suzuran Street.

　

The name of the store is "Kiwa".

This is the name of the designer Yoshikazu Nishiuchi.

　

Human beings have the talents and fates that have been born.
I'm sure there is, but in the case of Mr. Kiwa, maybe
"Love in love with cloth and be loved by cloth."
I have loved sewing since I was in elementary school, and when I stepped on a sewing machine.
Uprike, remake, etc.
It seems that he was awakening to originality from an early age.

　

When I became an adult and worked for an apparel company

"The pattern is cute", "I don't wrinkle", "I don't lose shape", "I can wash"
We have cleared all the functionality required for fabrics.
When I met Tango Chirimen Crepe
In 2004, I launched a brand in Shimokitazawa with my younger brother, Akira.
In 2007, opened a store in Ginza Hankyu = Mosaic Ginza.
(Women who have been to mosaic Ginza! Speaking of which,
Don't you remember the shop that handled that modern Japanese dress!
Now that there is no mosaic, that dress is still alive in Ginza 6-chome!!

　

Tango Chirimen Crepe is a raw silk that does not twist on warps.

Strength twist around 3,000 times per meter to the weft (Yokoito).
It is characterized by the fact that "Shibo" formed from the contraction of the repulsion appears.
Due to uneven reflection, coloring is good after dyeing.
It seems that a deep and thick color is exuded.

　　

Chirimen Crepe Dress Kiwa is a process other than dyeing.

In other words, Mr. Kiwa and Mr. Akira are the design, pattern, and sewing.
It's finished by hand.
It's exactly what you want to do and everything you want to do.
So, in addition to the items lined up in the shop, there are also other items.
You can also order semi-order, but it may be about six months later.

　

　

"I was fascinated by the Chirimen Crepe dress, and inside the closet

Almost Kiwa's Chirimen Crepe dress,"
It is said that there are many people who purchase repeats.
In fact, when I try it on, the beauty of the drape and silhouette.
You will be surprised at the comfort of your skin moistly.
A new breeze is blown into Tango Chirimen Crepe, backed by tradition.
That taste is just finished in Urban.
Towns and parties, of course, are especially suitable for travel.
Not only pack it in the trunk, but let's Go! Sometimes
A dress I want to wear and go out. Even if you move long, it doesn't get wrinkled and it's easy.
In Europe and the United States, the identity of a beautiful woman in Asia is also important.
I think I can express it.

　

Mr. Kiwa will be on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

It seems that there is a high possibility.
In addition to dresses, shoes, jewelry, and accessories.
It's a boutique full of amazing fun.
By all means, please turn your feet to spend a fascinating time.

Ozu Washi is one of the oldest long-established stores in Nihonbashi.

It was opened for two years (1653). Starting from Matsuzaka in Ise, I came to the current Edo Dai Temmacho.

In addition to the store on the first floor, Ozu Washi has a historical museum with about 1,000 ancient document registered by Chuo Ward Tangible Cultural Property. A guide can also be requested), various cultural classes, Japanese paper galleries nationwide, and paper making classes that can be experienced with one coin, the facilities are so full that you can enjoy the day.

Paper making experience for 500 yen. Of course, you can take your own paper home.

I think some people are wondering what to buy because the souvenirs are great, but in such a situation! Perfect size and price for a small Nihonbashi souvenir! There is a product called "Oh".

That's right!

Do you know anything about it?

(By the way, the doll on the side is the zodiac do bell that you can visit around Ginza Hatcho Shrine.)

This is a lens wiping made of microfiber.

The product name is "Optical Lens Cloth Glasses", but of course, it is not just glasses that can be wiped. Oil stains on screens of smartphones and personal computers, camera lenses, and fingertips. Just wipe it quickly and it will be really beautiful. You can remove the fine dirt on the smartphone screen just by gently stroking it several times. Moreover, once you wipe it, you can use it repeatedly until it breaks instead of poi.

Unwoven fabric made of micro fiber developed by a long-established Japanese paper company. Do you feel the fineness of your eyes?

Even in a box, there is a small pocket type that costs several hundred yen.

This is the first time you use it....!, So I think it is a product suitable for practical and souvenirs.

In stores, it is often placed next to the cash register, but it may be a bit difficult to find it, so I think it would be better to ask the clerk.

If you would like to know more about Ozu Washi's historical museum and hands-on classroom, please check out the site. There are clerks who are fluent in English, so it is safe for foreigners!

　From October 6 to 20, 2016, the 11th stamp rally antenna shop in Chuo-ku was held.

I bought it with a guidebook in my hand, but forgot to send it on the application deadline.

By the way, my friend told me that he had won the lottery and received a prize. (The story of shopping will be described later.)

A photo of the prize sent from "Wakayama Kishukan Tokyo Nihonbashi Store-Ikora-".

Assortment of whole Wakayama mandarin orange fun set (juice, jelly, etc.).

After all, if you buy it, let's apply and send it.

Next year's antenna shop stamp rally is a humiliation battle. I'm looking forward to it.

At that time, if you do not return to your hometown during the New Year, we recommend that you purchase the taste of your hometown at the antenna shop.

Click here for information on the previous antenna shop participating stores. You can see the location.

＊My friend talked with the shop when I shoped.

　"When I visited the antenna shop, I bought a dried plum in Kishu. Umeboshi, which happened to be purchased, was made of plums harvested this year.

When accounting at the cash register, the owner of the shop said, "The umeboshi of the year of the monkey is auspicious," and "It's a plumboshi that calls for good luck." The dried plums of the year of the monkey, once every 12 years, have brought good luck.'

　Oh, what kind of luck do you have?　First of all, let's buy this "umeboshi that brings good luck".　For purchase, at "Wakayama Kishukan Tokyo Nihonbashi Store-Ikora-"!　Let's go to Ikora.

 

 

On the next day, we take soot without breaking down at night.

　

　The soot of Edo Castle was held on the 13th.
Learned from this as "the beginning of New Year's Day" in Edo City.
It was the day to start preparing for the New Year.

　

The night defeat is the 14th of Akaho Nanji's defeat.

　<Figure of Kitakawa Kumabuke Family Sotofutsu>

　
Once the soot has been removed, the next day will be used for ornaments and Hagoita.
lucky items and New Year's goods have begun.

　

The old city of Yagenbori fudoson still remains today.
