My "Tsukishima Monogatari" Back to 1997 @ Tsukishima

[Nanako Tsukishima] March 27, 2017 16:00

On March 27, 1997, my Tsukishima story began.

This is the 20th anniversary of my residence in Tsukishima, and I will introduce the state of the Tsukishima area at that time based on my memory. I was filled with nostalgia while writing.

 

Tsukishima Higashinaka-dori

Then, from Tsukishima Daiichi Park. Recently, it has been crowded with cheerful little children, but at that time it was a park like a forest with little children and a tree-grown forest with too active structure that descends on a slide from a small mountain in the center. There was a horse mackerel sun-dried shop nearby, and behind it was a factory for Tsukiji Irifune. As the New Year approached, steam was rising early in the morning.

Irifune was a good friend of my neighborhood.
  

Tsukishima Nishinaka-dori

In April 1997, 44 stores joined and the Tsukishima Monja Promotion Association was launched, and it was already called Monja Street, but there were still quite a few retail stores such as handicraft shops and toy shops . It was also a daily routine to greet the police officer of the Metropolitan Police Department's oldest active police box. Now it has become the Nishinakadori Community Safety Center and is a base for community safety activities. By the way, Kiyosumi-dori at that time is under construction of Toei Line 12, and the opening of Tsukishima Station on the Oedo Line was on December 12, 2000.

 

Harumi

Although it closed in 1998, the large seafood restaurant "Pia Harumi" located behind the Tokyo Hotel Urashima was a symbol of the bubble era, and the large aquarium facing the sea was impressive. After that, Harumi transformed into a skyscraper town. Every May, a number of carp streamers are raised at the construction site of Triton Square, and the appearance of swimming in the wind is burned to the eyes.
 

(Extraditional) Akashicho May 7, 1998

Mr. hide. His farewell ceremony, which was a member of X JAPAN, was held at Tsukiji Honganji on that day. Fans who gathered for goodbye made a long line from Tsukiji along the Sumida River and St. Luke Garden. Last year's red and white, I saw X JAPAN, which exterminated Godzilla with a song, reminded me of what moved many young people at that time.
 

By the way, what will happen to Tsukishima in the next 20 years? Inuhiko Yomota, the author of Tsukishima Monogatari, an indispensable book for talking about Tsukishima, was worried about the transformation of Tsukishima, which is expected to occur in the next 10 years in the early 1990s, but less than 30 years later, the city of Tsukishima seems to be swallowing the swells of the times. A new large-scale redevelopment has begun on Nishinaka-dori, and in the era when Tokyo itself is about to start moving toward 2020, even if Tsukishima changes its shape in the flow, it will survive forever and attract people I want you to be.

Let's take "courage" in the lifesaving course. From the slogan of the poster

[Koedo Itabashi] February 2, 2017 14:00

Will it be more than 20 years ago?

On the afternoon train on holidays. The way home with my family.

The toddler's son suddenly shouted, "Woo," and his face turned red.

What's wrong. What happened?

I was watching as if it were frozen without being swallowed by the circumstances.

My wife stood up fast and grabbed her son's feet upside down.

I hit the panpan and my back.

A round tablet snack popped out of his mouth.

The passengers in the car were also breathed in his wife's behavior, but saw the child exhaling his tablet and sighed a relief.

 

My wife, it's amazing.

Even though my child's emergency, I can take such action at once.

It's like a natural Saga lie.

In an emergency, he was a child who could do it.

Where did you learn?

According to the situation, a senior mom friend went to a child clogged foreign matter, and he said he tried it at once.

Now, instead of upside down, it seems that it is fundamental to hit the back on the thighs down.

 

On Saturday, January 28, I attended a "ordinary lifesaving course" at a disaster prevention class at the Kyobashi Fire Station Ginza Branch Office.

It is one of the "Town Walking Guide Course" sponsored by the Chuo-ku Tourism Association.

If you live in Tokyo, an overcrowded city with high-rise buildings, you will encounter an abnormal situation with a considerable probability.

There may be scenes where you are guiding many guests.

If you know, if you have done it, your body may move unconsciously.

The center of the three-hour training is cardiopulmonary resuscitation using chest compressions and practical training on how to use AEDs.

The instructor is a super veteran who has been working as a paramedic for decades.

I will show you the points crispy without looking at the course textbook.

The richness of experience is full of specific episodes that go beyond text and gives the lecture a depth.

 

There were some places that have changed from the courses I took so far.

One is the disclaimer associated with emergency rescue.

Both civil and criminal law are not liable for life-saving measures implemented based on good intentions.

You can take action without worrying about yourself.

The other is that various considerations are needed in the social media society.

In other words, it is based on the recent situation, which has the danger that images of the victim may spread.

And the feature of this course is that a lot of time is allocated to chest compression training.

"If you do this alone, you will not forget it."

"I remember my body, so I can do it."

Even during the Tokyo Marathon, a doctor carrying AEDs is running.

At the time of the Olympics, guests from many countries come to Japan.

"If you press it, you will be saved."

It seems to have been boosted by the bystander one step forward.

 

 

 

Sumida River

[Old Rose] January 7, 2017 16:00

On a windy day in December, when I tried to cross Kachidokibashi by bicycle, my hat was blown away and fell into the Sumida River. The hat soared in an instant, and the man behind me was watching the hat flying with me.

It was a hat that I bought in Sydney two years ago and praised my friend very well, and it was the tallest and I liked it.

I couldn't give up, and I thought that a small ship might pick it up, so 30 minutes

I was looking at my hat floating on the Sumida River on the bridge.

But only two sightseeing boats passed.

At last, my hat went directly below Kachidokibashi and I couldn't confirm it.

After that, I went to a department store to see if that hat was sold.

I'm afraid I have to go to Sydney again to buy it.

 

Everyone, please be careful on windy days.

 

 

Walk around Ginza flat

[Wind in all directions] December 14, 2016 16:00

It's wind on all sides.

 

I wanted to walk around Ginza because I didn't have any intention, so I walked from 1-chome to 8-chome with GINZAMAP (Ginza Subway Entrance Guide Map).

 

Because what I brought was the 2015 edition, the number of red pen writing on the map increased while watching the number of changes such as buildings to be renovated, new stores, and relocation of stores. The site of the Kyobashi Daikon Riverside Blue Market and the monument of the birthplace of Edo Kabuki are under construction, and the Okuno Building will be renovated until the end of January.

Ginza is a city that advances the times, and this change is Ginza's GINZA.

 

However, the alleyway that passes Hodo Inari from Matsuya-dori to the back of Tensho-do, and from Kojunsha-dori, the alley that opens and closes several coffee shops automatic doors and passes through Toyo Iwaine cargo, and the extreme is the daytime dark alley of Kinharukoji, It is still unrelated to the hustle and bustle. I'll post photos of day and night.

 

Christmas season is gorgeous all day long. Everyone, please walk around Ginza. There may be Ginza that will disappear in the age of next year.

[It's the stage of anime] The Lion in March and Chuo-ohashi Bridge (Shinkawa and Tsukuda)

[Dye] December 14, 2016 09:00

Now, I'm doing an anime called "March Lion" every Saturday night on NHK.

 
This is a story about Rei Kiriyama, a professional shogi player who lost his parents when he was young, growing through interaction with the Kawamoto family and his friends, but the original comic is a very famous work, and in the spring of next year Ryunosuke Kamiki It is a work that will also be a movie starring.

    

The stage will be Shinkawa, Chuo-ku, Tsukuda-Tsukishima area.

 

 Anime → http: //3lion-anime.com/
 Movie → http: //3lion-movie.com/

 
If you're watching manga or anime, "What's the scenery of this! There is only a place where I think.
So, on a sunny day, I decided to follow them.
For those who don't know the anime, what is it? ? It may be...Please associate m(__)m

   

      
First of all, when I went along Kajibashi Street toward Hatchobori from Showa-dori, in the first scene, "Takahashi" was crossing to head for the game with my father-in-law.

It seems that I walked to Tokyo Station from here, but there is a distance. 。 (´・ω・) 

But it might have been just right because I was about to reunion of tension, like I was scared to meet you because I wanted to meet you.

    

s36_01.jpg s36_02.jpg
"Takahashi" was founded in the Edo period.

It seems that the name is derived from the high Arched bridge so that it does not bother the ship.
You can see "Minami Takahashi" in the back. It is the oldest railway bridge in Tokyo and the ward Tangible Cultural Property.

     

    
After a short walk across Takahashi, you will see Chuo-ohashi Bridge on your right.

    

s36_03.jpg

    

      
By the way, after crossing Takahashi, go straight while looking at Chuo-ohashi Bridge to the right, and you will see Mikazukido....Instead, there is "Suiedo". The strawberry Daifuku here is wrapped in anko, but the strawberries are large and fresh, and super delicious.

s36_04.jpg s36_05.jpg

(PA PO PO ANG) oh!...It's derailed. I will return to Chuo-ohashi Bridge.

     

     
"Chuo-ohashi Bridge" can be said to be the main part of the work.
It is a bridge between June-cho (= Shinkawa?), Where Zero lives, and March-cho (= Tsukishima?), Where the Kawamoto family lives.


s36_07.jpg s36_08.jpg
I personally like the scene of Zero, who was lonely, holding a warm karaage from the Kawamoto family and returning across this bridge.
(I also like karaage, isn't it relevant?...(^^;) )

   

    

The Chuo-ohashi Bridge was built in 1993, and was designed by a French design company in the image of a Japanese helmet. The "Messenger Statue" commemorating the friendship between the Sumida River and the Seine faces the Sky Tree.

s36_09.jpg
The image of a woman holding a sailing ship is the French ship guardian angel.

   
What's the scenery seen from the room? ? ? I'm living in a good place.

s36_14.jpg


"Reigan Island water level station" often appears on the cover of Chapter 2.

s36_10.jpg

This is the starting point for measuring water levels in Japan.


At the beginning of Chapter 3. It's calm to do it here.

It's nice to take a break in Paris.

s36_11.jpg

   

I often come here. Door picture of Chapter 5...

I'm going to see you.

s36_13.jpg

    

    
The scenery and cityscapes with bridges and rivers in Chuo-ku play a role in expressing the loneliness and conflict of zero and the warmth of the Kawamoto family.

    

I also crossed the bridge while thinking, "Wow, it's beautiful" with my child riding behind my bicycle.
Under the high speed near the river "somewhat anxiety"..."I feel like that.
Interaction with local people makes you feel "warm-" or feel

   

I love the beautiful and distinctive bridges and rivers, and the city with a lot of warmth of people.

     
That's why the psychological description of the characters says, "I understand.... (>_<) "and more emotionally than other works. It's not bright in shogi, so if you know it, you can enjoy it more....

Learn with Nya Shogi

    
...And it's time-up here. (a little)
Tsukishima seems to have more spots, but this time it's so far because the area around Chuo-ohashi Bridge was too cozy and relaxed.

    

If you are interested, please take a walk with a comic in hand.
Immerse yourself in the world of lions in March.

Bordeaux closed

[Many Books] December 9, 2016 18:00

On the morning of December 7, I was looking at the Tokyo Shimbun Web site.

There was an article saying that "Bordeaux", the oldest existing bar in Ginza, will close on December 22.

 

Located in Ginza 8-chome, when I walked around Ginza on October 13, I saw it before going to Tokyo Gallery and thought, "It's a building with a very atmosphere", and when I looked up it, it was a venerable bar. Did you want to go before closing?
