　From tomorrow, the Sumo Summer Place (14th, Ryogoku Kokugikan).

"Touch Taiko" is held three times a year in Tokyo, where sumo wrestling is held three times a year at the Kokugikan (Tachiyukiji becomes the priest, honors the felicitation, offers offerings, and prays for the safety of the place and the success of the performance, as well as the national security and rich harvest of the five grains).

Six callers are walking around the Tsukiji Market area, where there are many sumo-loving husbands.

When you go in front of your favorite store, you will hold a summer place and talk about the good efforts on the first day in a unique moderation, have a celebration, and move to the next store.

It is a feature of the day before this place, where a cheerful rhythm and a high voice echo throughout the city.

　"Diamond Vere" is one of the lit-up lights of Tokyo Tower, which is roughly divided into two types.

Diamond veil is a lighting that shines from the tower to the outside for a limited period of 2 hours from 20:00 to 22:00 on Saturday and other special days, and delights various eyes for each season and event.

The diamond veil on Saturday this month is the pure green "pure green" that sparkles like jewels in light of the fresh green season.

I hear that the message "nature and environment" is also included.

From the Sumida River Terrace in Kachidoki, over the Tsukiji Market, a unique "Pure Green" tower is shining clearly in the night sky.

It is built quietly near Kaedegawa Shintomibashi Park and under Shintomibashi.
It looks new, but it used to be a few meters north, and there was a small but torii gate.
Because there is a shrine like that in the fireho map from 1975 to 11, it may have been built with the reconstruction of the Great Kanto Earthquake.

There is also a long-established Japanese clothing store "Onoya Sohonten" nearby.

　Chuo-ku, Tokyo is the second largest in the 23 wards (minimum is Taito-ku), the second largest from the bottom. Although it is such a small area, including bridges that span the Sumida River, Kanda River, Nihonbashi River, Kamejima River, canals, etc. that flow through the ward, bridges that remain at places that have been reclaimed and become capital expressways and ward roads, etc. There are more than 70 bridges.

　I have loved "bridges" for some reason since I was a child, and no matter where I go, I want to cross and I can't stand it. When I was a junior high school student, my research topic for summer vacation was "bridge investigation" of Arakawa flowing through Saitama Prefecture and its tributaries, and the name of the company I made with my friends in Saudi Arabia is "○○○ bridge". A few years ago, when someone who sees the past and the future saw my ancestors' profession, I was told that he was a craftsman who designed and built bridges.

　Well, it's a good time. As for the name of the bridge, in many cases one of the main pillars of the bridge is written in kanji and the other is written in kana. In the case of Nihonbashi, "Nihonbashi" and "Nihonhashi". That's not "Nihonbashi" but "Nihonbashi". It's not a muddy sound. If you go to another bridge, Edobashi is "Edohashi" and armor bridge is "Yoroihashi". The main pillar of Kyobashi, which still remains, is "Kiyauhashi", and the shipping bridge is "Kaiuhashi". You can see Shinohashi and Harumi Ohashi.

　There was a reason for this. It is said that the person who built the bridge carved the letters with the wishes and prayers of the people so that the flow of the river flowing below would not be clear and cloudy forever. Of course, bridges that have been replaced or newly built, such as "Kayaba Bridge" and "Aioi Bridge", also have muddy notation, but when examined, all old bridges were written in Kiyone.

　The name of the bridge was also filled with people's prayers and wishes.

　On May 5th, "Spring Rose Garden" started at "Royal Room" with terrace on the 10th floor of FANCL Ginza Square (Ginza 5).

Period May 5-May 12 11:30-18:30

The rose is loved by the most people among the many flowers.

Rose Garden boasts the largest number of visitors among the “Seasonal Garden Events” currently held eight times a year. 。

The theme color of this spring, which is celebrating its 10th year, is "pink".

The fragrance and appearance are full of elegance, such as the rose "Princess Charlene de Monaco" dedicated to Princess Charlene, the Prince Aiko, who was named to celebrate the birth of His Imperial Highness Princess Aiko Keimiya.

During the period, various events are also organized, such as flower arrangement demonstrations and talk shows by flower coordinators / garden coordinators / gardeners, and after-nown live by violinists.

On the night of May 6th and 10th, a two-day limited "Rose Garden Restaurant" will open on the 10th floor where you can enjoy dinner of Ginza Mud Samurai.

On the 5th, I went to the festival of Teppozu Inari Shrine at Minato 1-chome, which is held every year during GW. The origin of Tepposu Inari Shrine dates back to the early Heian period, and after several transitions, it is located in the present area from the early Meiji era. In the Edo period, this area was a place where boats arrived from various places and flourished as Edo Minato, and the religion of sailors was also gathered. There is also the only Fujizuka in the ward on the grounds. Fujiko, whose religion is based on Mount Fuji, was popular during the Edo period and was built around Edo. The rebuilding of the company office, which had been ongoing since last year, has been completed, and the area around Fujizuka has been neatly organized. When I was a child, I remember being able to climb freely, but now I'm sorry that I can't climb normally. By the way, it seems that you can climb on the opening day of Mount Fuji on July 1st.

There was a Kagura Hall on the grounds, where he performed sword dance and dedicated Matsumae Kagura from Hakodate, Hokkaido. I felt fresh because I didn't usually have the opportunity to interact with each other. The day before, portable shrine traveled to Shimbashi Enbujo and Kabukiza, where the town council of shrine parishioner was located.

　By the way, every year, Shintomiza Children's Kabuki, which is held in Kagura Hall, was performed with a new performance at the adjacent Gunpow Park on the 10th anniversary, and many people came to see it. The children were performing loudly with a loud voice, thinking that it would be hot in a kimono in a temperature close to 30 degrees Celsius. Chuo-ku is a place related to Edo Kabuki, so I hope you will continue in the future.
