"Hanazono Hane Soraki" is read as "Hanazono abelia spathulata". It's the Japanese name of Aberia.

It is a plant belonging to the genus Asteraceae.

Aberia and Hanazono abelia spathulata have not penetrated so much that they know, but they are planted along parks and roads, so they are familiar flowers and trees that you know if you look at them.

This aberia is currently blooming at the planting space opposite Ginza Blossom under Miyoshi Bridge (red circle on the map).

Aberia continues to bloom except when the flowering season is long and the growth of branches in midsummer and midwinter stops.

It is also an honor student of a horticultural variety that is semi-evergreen but resistant to cold.

"Tsukubane" is a feather with a feather, but it is said that the five sepals spread like a propeller look like a feather with a feather.

On the other hand, it is said that playing with wings began when playing with the fruit of "Tsukubane" by hand.

The rainy season continues, but even when the rainy season is over and the hot summer comes, Hanazono abelia spathulata continues to bloom.

 

 

Tsukiji Market, in a sense, is also a place with a strong image of morning.

A crowd of busy middlemen, turley engine sounds, and lively people.

It's the hustle and bustle of the market.

But Tsukiji Market also has a night face.

A large truck that comes and goes. Firing steel piled up on the banks of the Sumida River.

The Tokyo Tower gently stares at it.

This scenery is also until this year. It will not be seen after the relocation next year.

By all means, before the relocation of Tsukiji Market, please take a look at Tsukiji Market at night from Kachidokibashi.

I think you can see the sleeping face of Tsukiji that you have never seen before.

We usually associate Tsukiji Fish Market with early morning.

Busy middle traders, engine noise of turret trucks and vibrant crowds

make up of the hustle and bustle of the market life.

Yet the night of Tsukiji Fish Market is also impressive.

Heavy trucks go and come.

Foamed plastics are piled up on the banks of Sumida River.

And the Tokyo Tower is gazing at all the scene tenderly.  

The scene can only be seen by this year for the Market will be relocated the next year.

Welcome to visit here and enjoy the night scene of the Market before its relocation.

I believe you can see the sleepless Tsukiji that you've never seen before.

Tsukiji City Hall.

One of the people's thoughts is fast-growing regions.

 It's a busy business.

Carry-like voice.

A group of people in the morning.

It's a unique hustle and bustle of the city.

 Fuji, Tsukiji Ichiya is night-colored.

A traditional heavy-weight truck.

High-efficiency foam plasticizers on the banks of the Sumida River.

It's a perfect tower.

 Keiya has just arrived this year.

After the next day, Tsukiji City Airport

It's completely empty.

 Dear guest, how many surprises are you in Chikuchi City?

From the view of Nari, you can see the beautiful night color.

 

 

G.Itoya, a new main store in Itoya, Ginza 2-chome, which was reopened in June.

The 11th floor of the 12-story building was "FARM (Farm)" and I wondered what it was, and when I went up by elevator, vegetables were exactly grown.

Safe vegetables are grown indoors by hydroponic cultivation that does not use soil.

You can see the growth of vegetables from the window using the window frame of Itoya's former stainless steel building.

The fresh vegetables harvested every day here are served at the restaurant on the 12th floor.

Indeed, local consumption products tasted in Ginza

 

 

At Koami Shrine, a large Chinowa made of a bundle of kaya is displayed from the 20th, and it is installed at the torii gate until June 30th, when the "Natsukoshi great exorcism" is held.

 

great exorcism is a Shinto ritual that has been handed down since ancient times, and is a traditional ritual that prays twice a year (June and November) in front of God for purifying sins and filth, purification of the mind, and reviving the soul. Also, if you put a doll (Hitogata) to the shrine with the first ho fee, you can pray in the great exorcism style.

 

 

I go through "Chinowa" to cleanse my mind and body, but this is based on thetopographical record of Bingo. At the time of this passing through Chinowa, "The person who purifies Natsukoshi of Minazuki is the life of a thousand years." On the way back, he will remove the ring kaya, which is said to exorcise evil, and leave it at the entrance.

 

I want to cleanse my mind and body and overcome the summer with my feelings.

 

 

 　

   This work was made three years before the Tokyo Olympics in 1961. Because of this title in Shin Toho's production, we rented B-class (or C-class) works that are only worth seeing the sight around Ginza, but when you look at them, surprisingly semi-A-class works. I felt like I had gained a little.

  

　Teruo Ishii is the director who shot the Abashiri Outer Series in Toei. "I continued to run in the opposite direction to filmmakers with high degree of perfection, and rather built an unexplored position as a reverse master who was completely unrelated to film awards." This work is too convenient to develop the story, but the back music is good and it is a stylish work.

  

　The reason why real scenery such as Ginza and Shimbashi appears quite a lot is that Shin Toho is lacking funds and is guerrilla-like (hidden shooting?) It seems to be the "result" of having to do street photography, but thanks to that, the sight of Tokyo before the Olympic Games major remodeling is abundantly captured in the shaded monochrome screen.

 

　Beginning with a shot showing the clock tower of the Hattori Clock Store, the time on the way is also represented by this clock tower. In addition, a bird's-eye view of Miyoshi Bridge, a scene where two people ride a boat on the Tsukiji River. The boat platform is like the Mannenbashi Bridge, where you can see East drama, Shochiku Kaikan, and Shimbashi Enbujo. Near the last, you can see the whole line seat of a cinema shaped like an old Western castle in river’s edge on the Shiodome River.

   

    Looking at the sign of the bar on the screen, it says "40 yen straight, 50 yen highball" etc.

  

　Unlike the image of "the top star on the sexy route of Shin Toho", Yoko Mihara is quite charming and has a good feeling (however, regardless of the title, there is no sexy scene in this work). Arakan described it as "a child who is kind and kind to the opposite of his role," and he agrees. Also, Junko Ikeuchi when I was young is beautiful.

　

 

 

Many plants that bloom in the Hamarikyu Garden grow in the garden, which delights our eyes every season.

This month, Japanese iris (perennial plant of iridaceae)

Incidentally, the way you distinguish between rabbit ear iris and iris sanguinea is that at the base of the petals, Japanese iris has yellow, rabbit ear iris is white, and iris sanguinea has a mesh pattern.

 

Hana pomegranate (deciduous broad-leaved shrub of pomegranate family)

It is a horticultural variety of pomegranates native to the Mediterranean Sea.

It is native to China and came to Japan during the Edo period. It blooms from early summer to summer.

It is a bright red flower that makes you feel summer.
