Sumida River Fireworks Festival distant view

[TAKK...] July 31, 2012 08:30

On July 28 (Saturday), the Sumida River Fireworks Festival was held.

This year too, I went to a place near my house where I could see fireworks.

It's on the Chuo-ohashi Bridge.

I think there are more people than last year.

You can enjoy the combination with the Sky Tree for the time being (the fireworks are small)......)。

Because the distance from the venue is far, the fireworks are a little small, and it seems that only what has been launched at the first venue due to its positional relationship, but you can enjoy the combination with the Sky Tree and Eitai Bridge, and above all, it is easy to enjoy the festival I was able to enjoy it.

It is said that the Sumida River Fireworks Festival began when fireworks were launched in Kyoho 18 (1733) at the Water God Festival, praying for the eradication of illness and memorial service for the dead. At this time, pyrotechnician was Yahee, the sixth generation of a key shop in Yokohama, Nihonbashi.

The first generation of Eitai Bridge was a bridge in Genroku 11 (1698), so the position and appearance of the bridge are different, but it was already there at that time.

If you think so, there is something very impressive.

 

 

 

 

Mowing work at Harumi Wharf

  On June 27, we took a walk at Harumi Wharf.


 The park is in the middle of cutting grass.

 The sound of the engine of mowing work called "Go Go Kean" was echoing lively.

 A tractor with a mower? A large car runs clockwise around the pine tree to cut the grass.

 The cut grass is like a vacuum cleaner, calling the wind and blowing it.

 The grass cutters are mowing places that cannot be done by car.


 The area around the statue of Goddess has become beautiful.

I'm catching my favorite insects.

It's a little brain play.

 I also wanted to run around the pine tree at full speed, like the F1 racer in Suzuka Circuit, across the mowing car.

  On this day, not only in Chuo-ku, but also in Koto-ku, we were mowing all at once.


 

 

 

Pandas on the street corner

[Apricot peony] July 1, 2012 08:30

Pandas are loved not only by Japan but also by everyone, from children to adults all over the world.

You can't see the real thing unless you go to a zoo, but if it's related to pandas, you can see it all over the street corner.


ck1203_1206292.jpgUnder such circumstances, the first thing to be surprised is "Panda stuffed" displayed at a seafood shop at Tsukiji Outer Market!

I doubted my eyes for a moment, but when I visited the shop, he said, "It's a long time ago than the Washington Convention."

If you look closely, it looks quite old.
For the time being, the price was right, so is it not just a "signboard panda" but a proper sale?



ck1203_1206291.jpgAnd this is also a surprise, panda leather shoes!

Discovered that it was displayed in the window of a shoe shop in Ginza facing Showa-dori!
It is custom-made, but it seems that there are both men and women.
It was written on the POP, "Try it on and take a commemorative photo," but as expected, it was distracted and refrained.
If you think about it, there are also panda slippers, so you may have leather shoes.
But what kind of clothes should I wear when I wear these shoes?

After all, I thought about whether it should be unified with white and black panda colors, or what the leopard pattern is like.
