Chuo-ku Tourism Association correspondent blog

The other day, the workplace said that he went to a Kabuki theater show, "The second generation Ukon Ichikawa was very cute and was very fine even though he was six years old."

　　　
I saw Ebizo Ichikawa's blog and Hiromatsu Otani's Twitter show that backstage was introduced here and there, and I was caught in a shot.

　　　　

　　　　
In such a background, I've always thought, "Kabuki seems to have rules to watch, and it's difficult to talk, so I don't understand it," but I wanted to see the cute and intelligent Ukon's first stage Anyway, I took a ticket and went to "Shouju New Year Daikabuki"!

(Reference link → http://www.kabuki-bito.jp/news/3712)

　　　　

　　　　

　　　　
There was almost no ticket until Senakiraku, so there were almost no tickets, so I became a seat at Kabuki's first theater. But there is only 2,000 yen difference from the first class seat, but my feet are stretched, tea is attached, there is a desk, and I can see the expression of the actor as well as sweat! So it was the best

　　　　

What a luxury...

　　　　

A lunch box. It contains red rice for celebration and karaage that Takeru likes.

(I love karaage too!)

　　　　

　　　　

Kabuki is a completely beginner, so this earphone guide was a reassuring item.
Not only the name and synopsis of the actor, but also the props and the background of history in a good time.

You can rent it at the theater.

　　　

　　　
The performance is a story called "Seisei Sumitagawa".
Eventually, it was fun, but on the way I cried about three times with excitement (^^;)

　　　

Umewakamaru, who did not know that he had fallen into a bad guy, thought that he had lost his important scroll, but was sold for a bargain and could not meet his mother....
Sota's intense regret that he did what he did most undesired, even though he had a breath to his important goal....
The sorrow in front of the group woman, even if she tries to hold the phantom of Umewakamaru when she looks for her son, she disappears when she tries to hold the phantom of Umewakamaru....

　　　　　

The sad scene and the cruel frustration were also beautifully expressed, and it was somewhat sad.

　　　　　

　　　　　

Even if it's an old story, people's hearts don't change. It sounded deep.
I wonder if something backed by the actor's enthusiasm and daily training will move the viewer's heart.

While I was an amateur, I felt that it was amazing to keep up with the traditional framework.

　　　　

　　　　　

Not only famous actors who watch on TV, but also those who solidify their sides were wonderful.

I was really angry with the villain's Keikei (^^ I know that "this is a story."...

　　　　　　　　

　　　　　

And after all, the second generation Ukon Ichikawa.
At the age of six, he made a quick change and air ride, and he was a genius with a loud voice.

　　　　　

It is said that Sarunosuke, the role of the group woman, played the same role at the age of nine, and the ride between Sarunosuke, Ukon and his father's right Danji is a wonderful three shot that feels the history and the bond between father and son. I thought it was. I can't keep an eye on my future activities.

　　　　

　　　　　

Kabuki was my first time, and I went alone (laughs), so I was a little nervous.

The theater was kind and I didn't have any trouble, and I was able to teach me how to enjoy the seats next to me, and I was able to fully enjoy it (` ・ ω ・ ・)!

　　　

　　　　
It seems that there are days when you can take care of your child for about 3,000 yen during the theater.

In February, Kankuro Nakamura's son is the first stage at the Kabukiza Theater "Saruwaka Festival February Daikabuki", so I'm looking forward to it.
If you like me up to a few days ago, if you're interested but don't understand and can't go, I recommend you go anyway!

Sanko Inari Shrine is located in 2-chome, Nihonbashi Horidomecho.

There is a sign of the approach to Ningyocho-dori.

At first, when I saw it as Sanko Shrine, I imagined the connection with the Sanada Maru shrine in Tennoji-ku, Osaka, but this was a completely different Sanko Inari shrine.

This shrine was said to have been revered by Osaka Kabuki actor Sanjuro Seki, who appeared in Nakamuraza in the early Edo period, from Fushimi, and was also called "Sanjuro Inari".

On the explanation board on the approach to the shrine, "There are many things that visit daughters, children, geisha, etc. for a long time, and if you lose sight of cats, you will have a spiritual test." I was impressed that there was an owner who came to this shrine to ask for it.

In recent years, it has been called the "cat boom", and it seems that there are about 9.87 million domestic cats in Japan (research results by the Pet Food Association in 2015), and owners who come to ask for searching for missing cats There will be some owners.

However, unlike in the past, "home keeping" in an apartment will not disappear.

 

 

　"Ginza, Study Exhibition for the Next 100 Years" is currently being held at Ginza Retro Gallery MUSEE (Ginza 1).

(until February 19)

The gallery opened in 2013 after preserving and renovating the retro building completed in 1932.

This project is an architectural exhibition that considers the cityscape of Ginza, taking a bird's-eye view of the history of Ginza and the future.

I hear that Ginza (next 100 years) is an attempt to consider and study with visitors under the theme of "eliciting the potential of MUSSE".

By the way, "study" means repeating examination for the completion of architecture.

Each floor and the rooftop are displayed with different themes.

In "Visit Ginza" on the 1st floor, we introduce photo postcards of the scenery of the streets of the Meiji, Taisho and Showa eras.

In "Question of Ginza" on the 2nd floor, architectural models of the gallery's virtual renovation plan will be exhibited.

In "Tactile Ginza" on the 3rd floor, a 1/1000 model that maps existing retro buildings on a map will be exhibited.

On the rooftop "Look up at Ginza", an installation "Platform" using two mirrors that symbolize the skyscraper and the spread of the sky is set up.

 

 

I visited Hatsune Mori Shrine, which has been worshiped as a god of business prosperity enshrined in Japan's No. 1 textile wholesaler district, a local god (the guardian of Bakurocho, Yokoyamacho, and Higashinihombashi). On the first floor, there are gateposts of Asakusa Gomon excavated during the construction of the Sobu Express Line. Below, "P95-96 of Monoshiri Encyclopedia".

　

Hatsune Mori Shrine
The shrine built in the building was founded in the Kamakura period.
It was said to have been founded in the Kamakura period, and was enshrined here, but when building a county mansion near the current Bakurocho, it was relocated to the headquarters (now Sumida-ku) opposite the Sumida River. Rebuilt in 1948 (1948), main hall is built on the second floor of the building and has a torii gate in front of the building. (Higashibashi 2-27-9)

　Yukio Mishima and Nobu Mitani were classmates at Gakushuin, but Mishima sent a postcard with Mitani, who had joined earlier. Focusing on such postcards, Mitani's book about Mishima's memories is "Yukio Mishima, a book published in 1985, Nakakou Bunko 1999), but in the book "February 19, 1945" I would like to introduce the air raids on Ginza as follows.

"... I also went to the ruins of Ginza. After Yamano, the burnt score dances like a fluttering style, and each time after the baking, a sign stands up claiming the existence of Yamano and Mikimoto historic sites, and even business card reception is set up, and it is the Tama cemetery. With white ink on the wall around, the family is safe. ・... I was surprised because the space between Hattori and the Kyobunkan Building, which were empty, was so close to it as usual. Even if Ginza becomes round-burned, this is not a great feeling. In the hometown squad (Note; during the inspection in his hometown of Kakogawa River), the first class soldier from Meiji Gakuin thought that he had been worried about the safety of Ginza. This city is a lover for people in Tokyo. The sadness of the little corner that you should have known on your own has reached the ruins of the fire, so-called Ginza-dori can be a big thing. ・・・・」

　The ruins of Ginza are described as "Tama Cemetery." Following the letter of February 24:

"... Because of the air raid, theater, who had a big meeting for a long time, had no first day, and Tokyo without a play was deserted with fire. ・There are also descriptions such as "..."

 

 

Choju-an is the name of many soba shops nationwide.

Here, Kayabacho Chojuan was founded in 1907.

　

This is Edomae soba.

Slightly effective, good throat, sweet and spicy sauce.

I had a fragrant yuzu-kirishiro.

　

The interior of the store is Sukiya style lighting.

The skull walls make two Nishiki-e stand out.

It has a calm atmosphere like a long-established store and is comfortable.
