Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

For lunch, 3-4-chome Muromachi.

First of all, I realize that a large building has been demolished and there are a number of things under construction.

　
It is said that Chuo-dori, including the area around Nihonbashi on the south side, will be transformed toward 2020, but the townscape of downtown areas from the Edo period has been improved.
It will be the same. I am looking forward to the green space that can be built next to Fukutoku Shrine in the near future.

There is a gallery called "Sankei-dong" in Muromachi 4-chome. Drop in from time to time and taste the seasons.
I've got it.

There was a picture of Tatsuo Takayama, one of the Japanese painting Five Mountains, which was a quiet place in Western Europe.
Perhaps it's a rural landscape, an image landscape painting that looks like a tree like Van Gogh's thread cedar is protecting the house with a shyness.
"Sankei-dong" was a money exchange business in the Edo period, or has been running an art dealer at the present location since the Taisho era.
As an oasis in the city center, I would like to visit many times.

And Muromachi 3-chome, here is also being rebuilt.

At the turn of the season in March, May, and December during the Edo period, it is also the site of the bustling Juken Store.

1.Ebisu God of Sugimori Shrine Nihonbashi Shichifukujin

 
・

Sugimori Shrine is a shrine located in Nihonbashi Horidomecho, Chuo-ku.
In the Edo period, it was counted as one of the Mimori (Kasumori Shrine, Yanagimori Shrine, Sugimori Shrine) under Edo Castle.
It is said that the religions of the common people of Edo were gathered, and the lottery lottery was also held.
There is Tomizuka here, which was built in 1920, but it would not collapse during the Great Kanto Earthquake.
After that, Tomizuka was rebuilt in November 1953.
It is said that this Tomizuka is unparalleled and is the only one in Japan.

The lottery that appeared in the wealth of rakugo inns was held.
I thought it was Sugimori Shrine, but unfortunately it was Yushima Tenjin.
However, the inn is called Bakurocho.
It is a shrimp sord of wealth in a rakugo inn.　A storyteller
This fall of the wealth of the inn should be said to be "customers, sleeping while wearing sandals."
I remembered that I had mistakenly said, "I'm sleeping with my sandals."

2. Site of Saigo Takamori Yashiki (Nihonbashi Elementary School)
 Around the present Nihonbashi Elementary School, this is where the residence of Saigo Takamori was located.
Saigo Takamori's photographs in history textbooks are unreliable.
It seems to have been questioned in recent years.
The theory is that the upper half of the photo is his brother Tsugumichi Saigo, and the lower half is his cousin Iwao Oyama.

I leave Chuo-ku, but some say that the statue of Saigo Takamori in Ueno is not similar.
This is because my wife, Ito Saigo, who attended the unveiling ceremony, said, "Our person is a kid."
There is an episode that surprised the people involved.

The only thing that doesn't look like this is that it doesn't clear what is similar or where it is not.
In addition, I kept my favorite Satsuma dog, and my female dog name was "Tsun".
It was said that it was created based on a male dog because it was dead when the statue was created.
In addition, the actual Satsuma dog seems to be smaller than the statue.

3.Koami Shrine
The restoration work was completed and the roof was neatly roofed. It was New Year's Eve that I took this picture.
On this day, the number of people who came to visit us was not interrupted.

After a long time, I went to Ginza in the evening.

１） First of all,
At the Ginza Brick Gallery in 4-chome (next to Kabukiza, next to You, famous for omelets).
I've been watching the work of Eizo Kinoshita (Edo Ken 1st grade holder) who is an architect and writes Edo watercolors.
How Edo Castle was built, what kind of place Kanda was at that time, etc.
I looked at it with great interest.

２） And then
1-chome POLA MUSEUM ANNEX, "Celebration Sohoi", was used as a ukiyo-e of Edo.
I thought about the ancient history of the pursuit of beauty, such as makeup tools.

３） Finally, it is Bulgari Ginza Tower in 2-chome. It's transformed into a city where other luxury brand stores gather.

On the way back, we went back with Kimuraya's Anpan. I'd like to eat slowly next time.

　On January 18, 2016, the Kanto region also snowed.　It seems to have piled up about 6 cm in Chuo-ku.

Although my feet are unfamiliar, I walked Tsukiji from Akashicho in the snow with a correspondent soul.

From Tsukijibashi Park, snow scene of St. Luke's International University.　Snow is piled up in the holly, and it has a taste.

　Toysler's memorial hall, which opened St. Luke Hospital.

　A slide in Akatsuki Park. If it freezes, you can enjoy bobsley.

　Mr. Siebold is also covered with snow and has a harsh face.

　A child who plays with snow that has fallen on a sandbox at Hatoba Park.　(I omitted the picture)

The object of the sphere is "My sky hole" created by Takeyoshi Inoue.

　Kachidokibashi is an important cultural property.

Everyone, please wear rubber sole shoes when you go out.

(At this time, the word "sliding" is forbidden.)

 An annual mini-garden guided tour that takes a walk around the park with the guidance of a green adviser at the Pocket Plaza "Flowers, Water and Trees" in Harumi Triton Square.

This month was held on January 14th. （12:30～ 14:30～）

Although it is a season of winter withering, the flowerbed has been devised to produce color.

At North Triton Park, you can observe Manryo (Manryo) and Senryo (Senryo) used as New Year's lucky items, as well as Karatachibana (100 cars) and Yabukoji (10 cars).

By the way, one of them is Alidoshi.

The seven herbs of spring, Nazuna, Tabirako, are also appearing.

At South Triton Park, one of Japan's representative flowering trees, camellia, is blooming.

This term reflected the warm winter, the Tokyo Regional Meteorological Observatory declared "Tsubaki Flowering" on December 26, last year, 45 days earlier than normal, 20 days earlier than last year.

On the flower terrace, Ginyouakasia (Mimosa / Mame family) has begun to bloom as early as possible.

You can also see the buds of the rare camellia "Elina".

In the form of a supple tree with thin branches and leaves, pretty pale pink flowers bloom in early spring.

Corrubing the leaves with a scent of sesame (watermelonaceae),

From the appearance of the goldfish opening their mouths, spreading the fins and swimming flutteringly

All of which are said to have been named Kindaisou (Gomanaceae), are unique.

The English name is that when the flower cylinder part is sandwiched between the upper lip valve and the lower lip valve opens sharply when the part of the flower tube is sandwiched from the side.

"Snap Dragon (biting dragon)" like a dragon.

One of the themes this time is "flower buds and leaf buds" waiting for spring.

We observed "winter buds" using flower buds and leaf buds of Yoshino cherry tree.

Flower buds are egg-shaped to long egg-shaped, leaf buds are elongated spindle-shaped.

In winter buds, it can be imagined that preparations for spring are being steadily advanced.

It is a frame that feels the skill of the mechanism of life.

It was a harsh winter garden, but it was a plant walk that learned a new approach, "seeing, listening, touching".

　It's wind on all sides.

It will be my first post in a long time. Half a month has passed at the earliest. As a personal matter, this month is the birth month, so I will get one year old early in the new year.

By the way, my town walk in Chuo-ku began on January 5 with the first visit to Tsukiji, which was the last year of this year, and a visit to Suitengu, which was full of first dogs on the day.

The article at the beginning of the year was not the 5th, but the cold bathing tournament (Kannaka Misogi), the ultimate event of the New Year in Chuo-ku, held on January 10 at Tepposhu, not on the 5th.

I will write it. This year, the 61st time since 1955, it was held at the adjacent gunpow park instead of the shrine grounds for shrine renovation work.

　This year is said to be a warm winter, but the day was also blessed with fine weather, and it seems that it was quicker to melt the large icicicles in advance in the aquarium.

During the cold bathing is an event to pray for sound health by bathing in cold water in front of the shrine. Not only those who are actually bathing, but also those who are watching.

I wished you.

　Following the greetings of the Chairman of the shrine parishioner Association, Miyaji Tepposhu Shrine, and Mayor of Chuo-ku, the progress of the day was prepared as a preparatory exercise under the guidance of Itabashi Hikawa Shrine.

It started with running around the shrine.　Along with a waka that sings along with the gesture of crumbling the boat, "When pulling" Aetsu "

It echoed strongly in the blue sky of the New Year. After this, we completed some events that dispel the evils below the soul, and performed a deep breath operation called Kibuki.

Finally, the cold misogi started with the shout of "A!" Hold your hands up and down as if wrapping your egg in front of your chest, and look forward without closing your eyes.

It was chanted as "Araito Okami, Araito Okami". Many participants were divided into two groups, but the participation of young women and foreigners was impressive.

It's left. At the end of the bath, the first movement was repeated, and the event ended.

　It was a day when I was able to witness traditional events and get energy.
