Go to a kimono shop looking for autumn-"Tsuzureya" Nihonbashi Main Store-

1. September 7, 2012 10:00

"The remaining heat is severe, but there is a sign of autumn in the morning and evening wind ..." is a standard of greetings from the weather at this time, but this year it is hot! It was around this time that Japan passed through the subtropics and entered the tropics. That said, in September and the second week, I couldn't wear thin items and went to a kimono shop for the first time in a long time to ask for care.


Tsuzureya is a long-established store that celebrated its 80th anniversary this year, founded in 1932 (1932). The first shop is Asakusa, specializing in gentlemen's products. There was also a period in the early Showa era, and there were many customers of rakugo artists, and the teacher of Kuromoncho was one of the customers. After that, he moved to Nihonbashi to specialize in women's goods. It is a shop that has a reputation for classical kimonos and obi with traditional patterns such as kimonos.

When you enter the store one step in the sweltering heat, it is completely "autumn". Unlike summer items with many light colors and light patterns, you can feel that the season has changed unexpectedly when you look at the autumn and winter patterns and colors of the frightened dyed color. The next family is looking for a lady's kimono. "How about this?" This is also a smile on the selection of a kimono that seems to be fun, such as "Are there?"


"I'd like you to see if you have some time. ・"Oh! This is dangerous, "but kimono lovers are vulnerable to temptation. All the items that can be arranged are familiar with our tastes. If you think "Speaking of that, there were some tea ceremonies," it's over. ・・・・・

When you go out, the heat is shy! "Autumn" seems to be only in the kimono shop. Why don't you go to a kimono shop to feel the fleeting "autumn"?

[Mr.Chuo-ku] September 3, 2012 08:54

 Do you know this bridge (↓) in Chuo-ku among the bridges that span the Sumida River?

In fact, this bridge does not yet exist as of 2012, and will be the "Sumida River Bridge (tentative name) Bridge" that will be completed at the end of 2014. The figure in ↑ is the expected completion drawing on the homepage of the "Ring Route 2 Sumida River Bridge (tentative name) Bridge Maintenance Project".

 

In the future, with the construction of Ring Route 2 connecting the coastal area and the city center, it seems that it will be built between Tsukiji and Kachidoki across the Sumida River.


If you look from the top of Kachidokibashi, you will get to the place located in the center of the photo.

When the Sumida River Bridge (tentative name) Bridge is completed, it will be the closest bridge to Tokyo Bay among the bridges spanning the Sumida River.

 

Construction as of September 1, 2012 (click the image ↓ to enlarge)

According to the Tokyo Metropolitan Bureau of Construction, this bridge will be completed at the same time as the opening of the Toyosu New Market, and with the completion of this bridge, at the end of FY2015, not only "Harumi-dori St.", It is said that goods can be transported using this "Ring Route 2".


Once completed, the current Tsukiji Market and Toyosu New Market will be connected in a straight line.
