　Before the evening of October 29, a very beautiful flower carpet was completed on the cherry blossom promenade at Harumi Triton Square.　

You can see it until 16:00 on November 1st.

　This year's theme is "Thank you for the power of flowers-space and space flower carpet". I would like to report the leaflet of the explanation I received along with the photos. (I'm sorry I couldn't show the whole work.)

①Japanese crest pattern

　In the explanation of the leaflet, "We use traditional Japanese patterns used when congratulations with Kichijobun. It is said to be a tree where the god of rice cultivation dwells, and it has the meaning of rich harvest, and it is the beginning of things because it is reminiscent of spring and sprouts, and it is said to be very auspicious "cherry blossoms" and "ume" = "produced". There is also a meaning, and it is designed with a motif of a Japanese pattern that resembles a "ume" that holds an auspicious luck. ].

②Tradition

　"The motif of Katsushika Hokusai's ukiyo-e is to express Harumi, the gateway to the sea. "The people who live on the shores of the big swells and Mount Fuji represent the origins of the Japanese."

③Current

　I was very energetic and thought it was a work that expresses Harumi now.

④Future

"The gateway to the sea of Tokyo, Harumi, is expressed by Mizuno Flow. The flow of water eventually grew into large trees, making Harumi a flower island full of flowers and greenery. The ball passed among athletes and animals will be passed down to the children of the world and will create the future."

⑤Emphasis of emblems

　In addition, a flower carpet of works commemorating the 150th anniversary of the birth of Peter RabbitTM, Beertrics PotterTM, was also shown.

In addition, the flower carpet will be lit up until 23:00 on October 31, so please enjoy the illuminated flower carpet at night.

Tsukiji River Shukubashi Park is a park built beside the congratulatory bridge connecting Higashiginza and Tsukiji, and runs below the Metropolitan Expressway Toshin Beltway.

The park is entirely made of bricks and has 150 roses planted.

At present, the rose hips of the rose are growing beautifully.

Rose hip is a fruit of roses.

It is famous as a rose hip tea, but rose hip oil is also used as edible oil for jams, Jerry, marmalades, and also for skin care.

The red fruit of rose hips makes you feel the season when you wear it with the Halloween season.

Look at roses not only at the time of flowers but also at the time of fruit.

The other day, I heard the news of a swan flying on TV. It was 4 days earlier than usual. When will northern pintail and Japanese plums come here at Ishikawajima Park on the Sumida River? Unfortunately, bird watching has become a hobby this year, and I don't have any past data.

On October 12th, you can see a different silhouette from the usual Indian spot-billed duck! What is it?

One male mallard and two female northern pintail!　It's been seven months since I couldn't see it in March.

mallard male, called Eclipse, is a sober color before it grows into beautiful feathers in the breeding season. When it grows, the head turns green.

On October 20th, we were able to see two male northern pintail!　It's quite different from females. These males are growing on breeding feathers.

On October 22, the bird of the capital of Tokyo, the lily turtle, finally came! ! It's been five months since I went across in May. There is no distinction between males and females.

Winter birds come to Japan for wintering from Siberia. While in Japan, males are growing beautifully in order to find their marriage partner. It's nice to see a beautiful figure.

From now on, the number of northern pintail, the gulls and the mallard will fly, and the variety will be bustling with Eurasian wigeon, Hoshihajiro and tufted duck. I'm looking forward to it.

Today (October 20), I went to "Bettara City".

It's very cold in October when "Betara City" is often October! There are many days, but today's day was a warm day with temperatures rising to about 27 degrees Celsius, and it was not cold at all with a single shirt from evening to night.

This year, I came from Sugimori Shrine.

Kagura was performed on the stage of the shrine.

And at the Bon Dance Festival, people wearing happi coat of "Betara Ondo" were dancing.

There are many shops that are pickled in Betara, but roughly speaking, there are two trains, "Kinhisa" and "Shin Takaya".

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　"Kinhisa" is orange happi coat

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　"Shin Takaya" is a blue happi coat

This year, I bought one piece without skin at both shops.
　

In addition, a long-established store in Nihonbashi also has stalls and sells for sale.

At Meijiya, coffee was cheap, so I bought it in a big bag.

I bought Tsukudani in "Kaishin" and "Funasa".

Fir laver was a bargain at "Yamamoto Nori".

In addition, bargain products were lined up at many shops such as "Civilizationdo", "Ninben", and "Eel Ise Sada".　

After passing through Takarada Ebisu Shrine, I went to Umekatei to buy "Kiriyokan" and "Kiri Sansho".

Unfortunately, I couldn't buy it.
