Return from Hakone~
Pass through Chuo-dori, Nihonbashi-to the goal where friends wait.

In the appearance of the players who are cheering from the roadside and squeezing their strength.

I got well. Watching the local game will also be hot.

By the way, we went to Nihonbashi Fukushimakan while the lingering of incandescent remains.

The third day of New Year is the day of "Third Day Tororo".

This event is mainly held in the Tohoku region, praying for longevity and health.

I'm looking for a limited menu of eating tororo.

It also has the effect of caring for tired stomach and intestines.

I got a lot of energy from the players.

After that, I would like to get in good shape and resume work.

※When I was taking a picture with my bag on the floor in the corner, I was able to bring my bag in a hurry. It's a restaurant with care and hospitality.

Speaking of monuments near Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi, the lion statue is famous, but most of all, my recommendation is "Kidai Shoran" in the underground concourse in front of Mitsukoshi.

This picture scroll was discovered in the attic of a relative's house by Hans Joahim Custel and his wife Inge, who were biology professors at the Free University of Berlin in Germany. The Custel and his wife are collectors of Chinese art, and they seem to have deposited this picture scroll with their own Chinese artworks at the Berlin Art Museum. Initially, this seems to have been considered to be a Chinese picture scroll, but in the early summer of 1999, Tadashi Kobayashi saw the main picture scroll taken out of the storehouse of the Berlin Orient Museum, and lived in the streets of Edo town. It is not difficult to imagine that the historical and artistically valuable main picture scrolls that were written in detail with the customs of the people who lived there.

The Kidai Shoran seems to have been described as "heaven", so it's exciting to think that there are sets such as "ground" and "people". A unique documentary painting that knows the time.

There are 1671 characters. Of these, 1,439 men, 200 women, 32 children, 20 dogs, etc. It seems that there were many men at the time of the town of Edo. The number of dogs is large, and the famous Edo specialty at the time, "Ise Family Inari Dog droppings" is also drawn firmly.

It is a must-visit spot to see expressive people like bird and animal caricatures and loose characters now, to learn about various occupations and craftsmen, and to learn about the lively breath of Edo.

Please refer to this booklet for details of Kidai Shoran. (Shogakukan)

　Show window of Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi. The New Year's greeting is a wonderful Wandaful Wanchan.

At the invitation of the Mitsukoshi New Year Festival, a man wearing kimono and a large and small dog's figurine.

And women in kimono also have dogs' figurines and red and white thick ropes hanging.

　In the women's display, dogs are lined up in a row. There was a description, so when I read it, I read it.

It is said to be derived from the lucky items Gyokudo dog in the Heian period. Eventually, it became a aristocrat's wedding tool, and became a "Inuhako" placed on the dolls of the common people. It is often regarded as a safe delivery lucky items."　

Then please pull the bell and ring it.　There is no doubt that a smile will come up like this lady.

(The lady gave permission to take a photo and gave a greeting.)

When you come to Nihonbashi and Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi, please pray for the New Year to be a good year with this "Inuhako / Gyogain".　Wishing you a Happy New Wonderful year.
