The Hakozaki area in April, albeit even more.

It was a big event that the enshrined deity of Suitengu was returned from the temporary palace in Hamacho where he was in motion and was enshrined as it was.

Originally, the gods were recommended by Kurume as the Arima family's Edo mansion god, so the territory of land such as Tomioka-san and Kanda-jinja Shrine (?) No. What? He came back quite quietly.

 

The photo shows the grounds that were visited and photographed on April 9, the day after he was returned, but it was more crowded than before. Moreover, I heard that the first dog day after being returned was a long line.
 

One day, I would like to visit the main shrine, Kurume's Suitengu Shrine, but anyway, it's far from Edo.

  

And now Kumamoto and Kyushu are under threat from major earthquake.

 

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of you.

  

I pray that the prayer to Suiten will calm down the earth.

 







 

 

 

Tourism Association for the New Year

[CAM] April 15, 2016 18:00

 According to De Niro's information, Mr. Kno, Mr. Mura, Mr. Nno, etc. also participated in the off-party the other day.

 

 You can feel the motivation of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association from the new fiscal year.

 

 I'm a Jijii correspondent, but I tried to further suppress the modest attitude on a daily basis, be careful not to disturb young people, and I wanted to participate ...

 

 However, on that day, I was unfortunately absent because I guided the foreign unit to Tsukiji Market.

 

 By the way, according to Mr. Suisei's information (according to the Wild Bird Society of Japan), "It was a gathering of about 20 people, of which 7 were from Kansai." If so, the ratio of Kansai people among the correspondents was quite high.

 

 Jijii also became a second-year correspondent, retired quietly, and thought that he would return his interest in Kansai again, but this year he renewed his determination to do his best in Chuo-ku, Tokyo. .

 

 In addition, it was the first time that I used it with the license of an interpreter guide, but I think that the Olympics are near, I would like to whip on old bones, and pay attention to this again .

 

 

 

Sutengu Shrine, which has been rebuilt

The rebuilding of Suitengu, which began in 2014, has been completed, and general worship has started on April 8. Today is the fourth day, in fact, I arrived at Suitengu Station yesterday, but a long line from the station, the first public "Dog Day" and Sunday, and it seems that there was a special feature on TV the previous day, waiting for 2 hours around 2:00 in the afternoon, waiting for 4 hours in the morning, or it has come back today.

100_1967.JPG100_1970.JPG

I was able to visit without waiting too much today, and I received a bill and a fortune dog in shrine office, which was completely clean. The entire precincts have a seismic isolation structure, and the number guidance for those who receive the prayer is also provided on video. It's amazing!

 

It is said that it will be Edo Jinza 200 years in 2018, but as you know, Suitengu was the residence god of the lower residence of the Arima family of the Arima family of the Kurume clan in Mita Akabane during the Edo period. It was recommended by Kurume in the first year of Bunsei (1818), and was reputed to relieve water spills and to give birth to safe delivery, and to allow general worship on the 5th of every month. In the Edo era, it was said that Toyokawainari and the two walls of the Akasaka Ooka Family Shimoyashiki were popular and called "Suitengu of Arima". It moved to Nihonbashikakigaracho in 1872 and has become a local attraction. The police box in front of Suitengu, which was closed, also became the corner of the original intersection.

I came to ask for a bill while delaying those who are on maternity leave, but the dog papier wearing this colander will also be cute. When you put the basket of "bamboo" on "dog", it resembles the word "laughs", so it is lucky items with the wish of "gogo". It's large and small, 500 yen.

Please come and visit Mr. Suitengu, who has become completely new.

It's just a short distance from Suitengu Subway Station.

 

 

 

Theory of diversity by Mr. "Scarlet Tei Suisei"? About it

[CAM] April 13, 2016 16:00

 Diversity theory of correspondent "Scarlettei Suisei"? I will read (April 12), hurry up, and post.

 

 Certainly, I remember as if I had been with you at the last off-party. Unfortunately, this time there was a previous engagement (as an alibi not an excuse /archive/author/201511/), and I was rude. If I attended, I was able to raise the ratio of Kansai people further (laughs) ...

 

 I grew up in Chuo-ku, Osaka (formerly Minami-ku) until I entered university and came to Tokyo. Therefore, the sound of "Tokyo" has a sense of resistance, and the disgust of Kanto dialect still remains. I really sympathized with Taeko Tomioka's statement of "the suffering that cannot be understood" in Tokyo. Twenty-three days ago, Shinya Yamanaka told me on a TV program that others said, "Even if I speak in English, Kansai dialect."

 

 I think there are types of Kansai people who completely erase their traces in words and other things (for example, Masataka Hemi, I recently saw on TV programs) and types like me that do not make such "effort" at least conscious and consciously.

 

 I didn't have the intention of taking the "Nanzo" sightseeing test "Chuo-ku, Tokyo" sightseeing test "Nanzo", but it's strange that I took the test for the first time last year and served as a "tourist association correspondent". I think it is. However, thanks to the fact that I was able to learn the history of Chuo-ku, literally the center of Tokyo, "Shinsei Edo" was a great harvest. Since becoming a correspondent of the Tourism Association, he has been interested in the history of Chuo-ku, Tokyo, especially the former Nihonbashi-ku, through books by genuine Tokyo people such as Junichirou Tanizaki and Yasaburo Ikeda.

 

As Mr. Suio said, "I'm interested in the correspondent of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association, but I'm not from Chuo-ku or living ..." If there is no relationship, please join us. "

 

However, just as internationalization should not mean "statelessness," universalization should not become "Tokyo" even in Japan (at least culturally). In the first place, as Junichirou Tanizaki says, Tokyo is not the center of Japan (especially cultural) but rather the "gateway to Tohoku."

Qingmei _ Ammonite?

[Asunaro] April 11, 2016 12:00

 

 Kiyoaki. It seems to say when everything is clean and alive.

 

 The cherry blossoms have begun to fall, the young leaves have sprouted, and the cherry blossoms have become tasteful.
Wouldn't the ancient sea creatures look somewhat energetic in the building?
Mitsukoshi. gifTakashimaya. gif     

  

As large commercial facilities gather, one of the ways to enjoy long-established department stores is to experience history.

You can find ammonite fossils on the wall material of Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store, which is known as Japan's first department store, and Nihonbashi Takashimaya, which is designated as a national important cultural property.
If you have a chance, why don't you actually observe it?

 

 

Suitengu - New shrine hall -

[Kra-san] April 10, 2016 09:00

The new shrine of Suitengu has been completed and can be worshiped from April 8 (Fri).

In March 2013, a temporary shrine was set up near Meijiza in Nihonbashihamacho, where the reconstruction of shrine hall and the shrine in Kakigara-cho was carried out.

The new Suitengu Shrine, which incorporates shrine hall and modern architecture, has been transformed into a shrine that is fitted with modern times. The entire precincts will be rebuilt into a new facility with earthquake resistance (full seismic isolation), and it will become evacuation site in the event of an earthquake.

During the construction, the newly relocated "Kiho Inu" (in the surrounding Earthly Branches, it is said that if you stroke your zodiac sign, you will benefit from giving children, safety at home, protection against misfortune, etc.) has returned to the grounds.

In addition, the attached Suitengu-mae police box has been completed in advance (February 17) and has resumed operations. The new police box is a bright and modern glass-walled building that has been redesigned from the conventional police box.
