Weeping plum

Do you know why it becomes "weeping plum"?

Weeping branches grow faster than those that do not weeping.

The long stretched branches cannot be supported by their own and bent, and the branches become woody and fixed.

           

　　　　The above photo is a little lonely, so I took a big picture.　　　　

　　　　

　The "screw" part is neatly organized with "butterproof antiques", etc., and the feeling of waiting for spring appears well.

In Tokyo, an experiment to guide Ginza using ubiquitous technology has been started.

The experimental area is on the ground and underground of Ginza-dori and Harumi-dori St. (Sukiyabashi-dori-Mihara-dori) centering on the Ginza 4-chome intersection.

Ginza's history, hidden topics, store information, etc. are introduced in Japanese, English, Chinese, and Hangul.

Walk using the ubiquitous communicator mentioned above.

The time I borrowed was Monday, but it was available from 1 o'clock to 6 o'clock.

At the same time, I was able to go to Ginza other than Ginza ... Shinjuku area, but I enjoyed it only in Ginza.

The usage fee is free because it is the experience period until March 31 (except February 28).

Reservations are required.

By holding a ubiquitous communicator and wearing a mini receiver on your jacket, you can hear explanations when you approach that location.

It is a tea specialty store founded in 1883.

A little in front of the Seigetsu Domoto store.
It has an old-fashioned atmosphere.

Matcha pudding is famous, so I tried to buy one.
A transparent plastic lid that is not sealed and can be removed immediately.
It was very handmade, so I took it home (* ^^ *)

The taste is extremely rich and delicious!
This is a real matcha pudding.
It seems that it was introduced on TV, and it seems that you can buy it online.
 
And what I thought was even more delicious was this matcha roll!
The outside is wrapped in crepe-like thin baked dough.
It was a rich matcha cream inside, and it was a taste I wanted to buy lipe many times.

Hirano-en homepage

I've been subscribed every month since November of last year.
The cover of 2008 is illustrations of Ginza shops such as Wako and Kunoyasan.
Last year it was an illustration of the landscape of Paris.

Arc de Triomphe, Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Temple, etc.
The famous scenery of Paris is drawn with a gentle touch illustration.

Montigne Street and Ginza Street in Paris have a sister tie-up.
It seems that they have a sister tie-up with Champs-Elysees.
I also want to make Namiki-dori St. a friend!

Ginza Times contains a lot of information about Ginza.
There are also shops that you don't often see in the guidebook.
Event information of department stores, schedules of movies and galleries, etc.
There are also tickets and book gifts.
It is a town magazine that is very fulfilling in terms of content.

I used to be at the Ginza 4 Post Office.
Recently, I often get it at the information at the entrance of Mitsukoshi.
Of course, there was also at the counter of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association!

I usually go to Ginza at the beginning of the month.
I am collecting information in this town magazine.

I haven't been to Ginza yet this year.
What kind of series is the cover illustration for 2010?
I'm looking forward to it.♪
