 From November 25th to December 25th, the illumination "GINZA ILLUMINATION ~ Wings of Hope" is being held at Harumi-dori St. on Ginza Street. Organized by the Ginza Association, the Ginza Street Federation, and the Ginza International Luxury Committee (GILC).

Thirty-five objects with wings motifs are installed in Ginza 1-chome to 8-chome Ginza Street, and 1.2km from Sukiyabashi on Harumi-dori St. to Ginza 4-chome.

The wings of the object are six designs based on the keywords of "happiness", "love", "bonds", "power", "dreams", and "future", and the center sphere of each of the 35 bodies is "hope" drawn by children in the affected area. It is said that the sphere and the wings shine, and LED lighting is used to save energy.

         

         

 

 

 

After 5:30 on the 18th, we entered Sakura-dori St., just off the Yaesu Exit of Tokyo Station, and a lighting ceremony for Christmas illuminations was held.

Salaried workers and OLs on the way home from work stopped and watched the "Kizuna no Ring".

This Tokyo Ilmilia will be held until February 14th.

When you go out to Chuo-dori from Sakura-dori St., the show window of Takashimaya Department Store is also a Christmas outfit.

When you enter the front entrance, you will be greeted by a Christmas tree that seems to stick to the ceiling.

 

It's getting colder and colder from now on, but I think it's fun to walk around the city at night this season. 

 

 

 

The Okuno Building was built in Ginza 1-chome in 1932 (1932) as an ultra-modern apartment at that time.　In addition to the office, the building at that time had a rental store on the first floor, an envoy room, a warehouse underground, a shared bathroom with gender distinction, a lounge and a laundry room on the floor, and the 2nd to 6th floors were living. Was. The elevator was also installed because it was a six-story building. After that, the 7th floor was expanded.　The exterior of the building was made of scratch tiles (jagged tiles) that are common in buildings at the time of completion.　The entrance on the first floor also has a unique round window of the time.

With the opening of "Gallery Streetbo" in 1992, the current number of galleries is more than 30, and it is an antique building with a scent of art.

　　

 

In the gallery "Ginza One" on the second floor of this building, "Salon Do Tokyo Exhibition November" is held by eight groups belonging to the "art" group called Tokyo Exhibition. From November 14th to 19th.

   In the sunny weather of Hamarikyu, snow hanging, a winter tradition, was displayed.

It will give you an accent when your garden becomes lonely. It will entertain your eyes until the end of March.

This decoration cannot support this core snow and is only a decoration.

In earnest, it is "Kenrokuen-style snow hanging", but the smaller one is displayed in Shiba Rikyu Garden.

Snow hanging in Tokyo is divided into "Northern style" and "Southern style", "Koishikawa Korakuen" and "Rokugien" are northern style, and "Hamarikyu Garden" and "Hibiya Park" are southern style.

The method of the master at that time is still handed down.　　　　　　　　　　　　

                      

The tip of the sail column is called Valen.

The decoration is made with a hanging rope.

It is a rich decorative snow hanging with a lot of thin ropes.

 The hem is called a bee, and the bee rotates a rope around the tip of the bee (frame at the tip of the bamboo) and connects a hanging rope around it.

The bamboo passing sideways is called Kanzashi.

           

In warm regions, cold-sensitive plants such as cycad and Digo are rolled up with straw during the winter to protect trees from the cold of winter.

The contents of this photo in the garden of Hamarikyu are not cycad, but bamboo is placed on the ground and it is decorated with straw. Therefore, the name among craftsmen is "Obake ..."                  

                         

 

 

Today, the weather was fine, so I was spressed with "Silver Bra".　In autumn, the street corner where chanson is likely to be heard.　A little bit, I walked with nostalgia of the ruins of Ginbari. On the corner of Ginza 7-chome, a little east of the MONT BLANC Building, you will find a monument of Ginbari. I felt that it was dead leaves, but unfortunately Ginzo is an elementary school student.　Also, when the store closes, go out of Japan.　Let's buy Yukari Kaneko's hit Melo Day "Reunion" at Yamano Musical Instruments at 4-chome.

　

　Next door, Ginza Morimae is a shop specializing in bonsai.

Postscript: I'm really happy to be able to write down the date of construction on one side of the monument. I think it deserves the Cultural Achievement Award.
