I bought a lunch box at the nearby "Meat Takasago"!

・Royal Menchi Bento

・Grilled pork bento

Then there was a new side dish, so I bought it.

New work is a spring roll and a round spherical curry croquette. The croquette on the left side is grilled pork croquette.

The birds were also relaxing.

Butterflies are also coming.

・The wind from the Sumida River was very refreshing.

The annual festival of Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine was held once every three years for four days from August 3 to 6 this year. Published in Ansei 4 (1857), Hiroshige Utagawa's 100 famous views of Edo, depicting the festival, and the large banner in the center is very impressive.

The pillar supporting this large banner was dug out of Tsukuda moat on July 1st. The work that began in the morning was that the pillars were lifted by a crane truck after 4:00 pm in order to dig up a total of six places, a braided tree that supports the pillars called "Daki". It was a long work.

Once, two pillars were wrapped near Tsukuda moat and four were dried near the Tsukuda Machikado Exhibition Hall.

Is this pillar different in shape? According to a local caretaker, the round pillars were from Edo and the square pillars were from Showa.

Later, according to the "History of Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine Reitaisai festival", four of the six pillars were found to be new in 1987.

The pillar, which completed its role at the festival, was moved into the moat on August 12.

And today, on August 26, pillars and daki were buried for the festival three years later.

I was worried about the trigger of the new pillar, but a local person told me that the car was hooked on the rope at midnight and damaged. I want the new four to carve history like the pillars of Edo.　　

The fact that a large banner with the spirit of the locals has been fluttering in the blue sky of summer since the Edo period, was clearly understood by digging from the moat and knowing the burial work.　

"Goldfish Dai Japanese lantern approach" is currently being held on Coredo Muromachi Nakadori.

The large Japanese lantern of goldfish is raised on the approach to Fukutoku Shrine from Cored Muromachi, and the image of beautiful goldfish swimming and fireworks floating with the passage as the water surface is projected through digital art.

This mysterious video as if you were in a dream is very popular on SNS. There are several best viewing spots, but the recommendation is "see from above"!

Since the approach is expressed as the water surface, the realism seen from below is wonderful, but once again, I want to see from above and enjoy the whole picture. The lobby of TOHO Cinemas Nihonbashi, which is located in Coredo Muromachi 2, is made of glass in two directions, and you can see the approach and Fukutoku Shrine from above. When watching a movie, be sure to take a look at the beautiful corridor below. You can enter the lobby without a movie ticket, and you can also use a shop for selling movie goods and eating and drinking.

There is a bewitching mood around Fukutoku Shrine at night, which is likely to come out by youkai living in the city, so please drop in when you come to Nihonbashi late. Goldfish Dai Japanese lantern approach is being held from 18:00 to 23:00 p.m. until September 24th. There are many cool-down events that will be held at the same time, so please also see this website "Kinryo Festival" for details!

The zelkova tree is planted along the street on Harumi-dori St., which crosses Mannen Bridge from the Ginza side to Kachidokibashi.

By the way, Harumi-dori St. is a metropolitan road, so it is said that the department that manages the street trees along this street will be the department of "Tokyo Daiichi Kensetsu Office Repair Section, Street Tree Section".

This kind of thing is on the trunk of a single zelkova tree

The wire keychain (key wire) penetrates the trunk.

The wire keychain is a key (key) to be attached to the wheels when parking a bicycle to prevent theft of bicycles.

At first, when I found this, I thought there were people who did terrible things, but when I looked closely, I felt that it wasn't.

Therefore, in order to clear doubts, we asked the person in charge of the street tree in charge of the repair section of the Daiichi Kensetsu Office in Tokyo, and visited the `` Water and Green Division Park River Section '' in Chuo-ku, and saw the photo However, this was not penetrated, but when this tree was still small, someone puts the key in the part where the trunk was split (the part of the crotch that became Y-shaped) in the trunk, which became Y-shaped).

What ah

Certainly, I've seen trees swallowing Buddha statues over many years in old temples such as Cambodia.

Was that?

When I look at it, I feel something painful, but it seems that it is no longer possible to leave it alone.

So, if you find it, please leave it alone.

I would like to thank the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and Chuo-ku for their kind and polite response.

Thank you m(__)m
