September 13 I tried visiting Tokyo Tsukido for the first time in a long time. We will have a light lunch on the second floor. I was guided by a window seat, so I was just below Chuo-dori, but a separate space where I could not hear the hustle and bustle of the street at all. You can choose two types of sandwiches, each sandwiched in croissants.

　

It was founded in 1872, and it was founded in 145. Matsuzo Yonezu, the head of the Japanese shop curtain division, manufactured and sold the first old-age sugar (chocolate) in Japan with a wealth of research and ideas, and subsequently exhibited biscuits at the first National Industrial Expo in 1876.

　

He was dissatisfied with being sent to Biscuit with the name of "Kakeshimochi" and kanji. After that, with a recipe from my eldest son who went to San Francisco to study confectionery manufacturing methods, we devised and released one after another high-colored Western confectionery that Japanese people who smelled Civilization and enlightenment, such as cream puffs, Marron Grasse and Marshmallows. In 1877, he moved to the current Ginza 6-chome, where he started French cuisine and curry rice omelets. We offer 8 yen uniform high-cala dishes such as bifteki. According to Hirofumi Yamamoto's "Meiji Gold Account", curry rice was converted from 5 to 7 yen in 1902, and the current price was about 1,000 yen to 1,400 yen, which means that 8 yen in 1877 is quite expensive . Five years from now, it will be founded in 1500 years! It would be fun if you could have a high-cala dish at the time of founding. Yes, it seems that Mr. Sada Matsudaira, who is known for his name, is known for his name. The character of "Kaze" is currently used in Tsukido. *Old letters - characters and typefaces used in the past. It is not currently used

The Wako clock tower, now known as the landmark tower in Ginza, was completed on June 10, 1932 (1932), "Time Anniversary". The design is also known for the design of the architect Jin Watanabe (1887-1973) Dai-ichi Seimeikan and the former Nissha. Do you know the first clock tower until this clock tower is built? The first clock tower was completed in 1894 (1894).

Kintaro Hattori, the founder of Hattori Clock Store, purchased the site of the Asano Shimbun at that time, the predecessor of Wako, and was built. Designed by Tamekichi Ito, an architect returning from the United States. Tamekichi Ito was also famous as an inventor and obtained 70 patents, and at that time it was called "Japanese Leonardo da Vinci". Yukisaku Ito of the stage art and Korenari Senda, director, are sons. From June 10, 1954 (1954), the Westminster-style chime announced the time, and in 2009 (2009), it was recognized as a "modernized industrial heritage" by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. .

　

Well, it's a quiz.

Question 1 What is the height of the clock tower from the ground?

Question 2 What is the height of the clock tower?

Problem 3 What is the length of the long needle?

　

For the answer, please see the website of Wako.

　

Currently being held at the bridal fair, "If you purchase bridal products of 150,000 yen or more during the bridal fair, you can take photos in front of the clock tower if you wish. Until October 1,"

　

 

 

Photos of the old festival of Mr. Namiki and half coat of one Oda (1-chome Odawaracho) appeared.

Please take a look.

The road in this photo is not paved, so I think it was in the early 1980s or before.

Tsukiji 7-chome was the old town name Odawaracho 1-chome.

　

　

The building in the photo was a bakery factory called Olim Pick, where I went to buy it when I was a child. I remembered this, but my favorite bread was ham bread with ham sandwiched between coppe bread.

I think Olimpick had a shop in Ginza.

　

<<<<<It has changed so much now. >>>

　

　

　

　

　

　

This Oda Ichi's half-wearing came out with the photo. Everyone in the old photo probably wore this half coat. 　

 

 

Works from Edo to Meiji period, which is said to be during the Industrial Revolution in Japan, along with contemporary works, are exhibited at the Mitsui Memorial Museum.

　

During the Edo period, which lasted more than 250 years, many handicrafts flourished against the daimyo, and the works began to be exported from the late Edo period to the Meiji era, and many of these crafts are famous overseas.
It delights our eyes with a wealth of themes, such as ceramics, wood carving, fangs, and free figurines (crafts where many animals are the theme and all joints move freely).

　

It seems that many of the themes of these works are familiar, and if you look at the items on display, you can see that there are many things that are familiar to you.
Japanese spiny lobster, mantis, birds, toads, cucumbers, cherry blossoms, swordfish, snakes, tomatoes, persimmons, grapes, matsutake mushrooms, etc.

　
→It is on display until December 3.

There are many shrines on the rooftops of department stores and buildings in Ginza, including "Ginza Iseyo guardian of children and travelers" on the rooftop of Ginza Mitsukoshi. The "Tenku Shrine" introduced this time is located on the 7th floor of the West Building of Ginza Komatsu Building. It is said that it was made with the rooftop garden at the time of the renewal in 2012. I didn't know at all until I heard from my acquaintance. According to the information, "The prototype of the Omiwa Shrine in Nara, whose body is Mt. Miwa, is reproduced, and the big lord Oga is welcomed to Iwaza (Iwakura) at the back of the torii gate." Chozubachi is said to be made of Taiko stone in Kyoto. Open from 11:00 to 20:00, you can enter from the stairs next to the cafe on the 7th floor. It is a place where you can feel luxurious and refreshing like the whole rooftop that seems to be not well known. This Miwa Myojin is exactly the Tenku Shrine.

Hello, this is Minori.

This time, I went to the birthplace of Shuyo Gakuen and the birthplace of headwater Tokyo Junior High School in Kanto Gakuin.

　

There was a monument on the road near Akashi Elementary School, the sidewalk at Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge West Intersection.

There is a stone monument of the birthplace of Tokyo Junior High School nearby.

　

It was a very hot day in the summer road.

　

●The land of Shuyo Gakuen's launch

In 1875 (1875), "Tsukiji Language School" opened by a missionary of the Sun Mall Shudokai, who had been conducting Christian missionary and educational philanthropic activities in Yokohama, was the whole body of Futaba Gakuen. In 1909 (1909), moved to Rokubancho, Chiyoda-ku. A pair of monuments like a heart on the road side feels relieved when you look at them.

　

　

●The birthplace of headwater Tokyo Junior High School in Kanto Gakuin

Near the stone monument of the birthplace of Tokyo Junior High School, there is a stone monument of the birthplace of Tokyo Junior High School.

Kanto Gakuin began on September 10, 1895 (1895) at Kutsukiji Reservation 42-43 (currently Akashi-cho, Chuo-ku), when the U.S. Baptist Engagement Association established Tokyo Junior High School.

　

　

From the stone monument of the birthplace of Futaba Gakuen, pass the stone monument of the birthplace of Tokyo Junior High School to Akashi Elementary School, and you will go to St. Luke's College of Nursing and St. Luke's International Hospital to take a break at St. Luke's Garden opposite.

In addition, if you take the traffic light in front of St. Luke's International Hospital toward Tsukiji 7-chome, you will be able to get to Akatsuki Park.

　

It is said that Akashicho was derived from the place name because the scenery was similar to "Akashinoura" in Akashi, Harima country (now Hyogo prefecture).
