The light blue building is Inax Building.

 At Gallery 1, this very recommended "Plant Fossil Exhibition" is being held until August 21.

  It's a memory of 500 million years.

 If you go one step further, there is a large panel and something like fossils below ...

 It was so wonderful that I was impressed. Sit in a chair attached to the library of Gallery 2

It took a while to cool the lingering of excitement.

 

 Yes, in Gallery 2, you can browse the literature on Inax's business.

The book on "White and Indigo Ceramics" was very interesting.

 Then, I asked for a book on "500 million years of memory plant fossils" on sale.

 When you open the first page, it is fascinated by the wonderful artistic photography and the fossils of the subject.

I did it.

The seven herbs in autumn and Kibana cosmos in one corner began to bloom in Hamarikyu.

[Yurikamome] July 11, 2010 20:34

 Even though the rainy season has not yet begun, the seven herbs of autumn have begun to bloom in Hamarikyu.

 White butterflies, monkey butterflies, black swallowtails, etc. are playing.

      The whole 3,000 square meters of land will become a cosmos field a little further away, but in one corner.

      It was blooming well.

      The place where it becomes a flower garden is the site of the magistrate's residence in the Edo period, but tennis courts began around 1948 after the war.

      There was a time when I did it. 

Hamarikyu is about 10 days on Friday and Saturday from July 16 to August 14 (Sat), but will open from 8:00 in the morning.

This is to respond to foreign visitors coming to see you early in the morning.

When you enter the park at 8 o'clock, you don't know if you can practice English conversation with the refreshing feeling of the morning.

From events with hometown to world affairs-News Art Salon

[The cat on the slope] July 6, 2010 08:30

Local qualifying for the summer national high school baseball championships has begun in various places.

A recommended spot at this time when you are worried about the results of your hometown's alma mater and powerful schools is the news art salon in Tsukuda.

Address: 2-1-3 Tsukuda, Chuo-ku (10-minute walk from Exit 4 of Tsukishima Station on the Yurakucho Line and Oedo Line)

Various photos that convey Ayumi of history lined up on the wall leading from the entrance

Here, you can see the latest news from Japan and abroad, as well as valuable photographs and videos that describe the history so far. I'm a little nervous about the facilities of the news agency, but when I asked for permission to take photos, the staff was very kind to guide me.

Thank you very much, Mr. Nakajima!

                The news is displayed like an artwork of the museum.

And as I wrote at the beginning, what I am particularly happy at this time is newspapers all over the country lined up.

Even in the age of the Internet, as a paper group, I still want to read newspapers with both hands.

Information on the progress from the first round of regional qualifying and small episodes of each school player are available.

Only for detailed coverage of local paper. In addition to high school baseball, it is not included in national newspapers.

Local news, novels serialized by unexpected authors in unexpected local newspapers, etc.

There's plenty of charm in local newspapers.

 

Photo 7.JPG  Photo 8.JPG

7 papers in Tokyo and 49 local papers are beautifully arranged. Where shall we visit today?

 

Photo 9.JPGYou can also touch the panel to compare the paper layout of newspapers in each region on the screen.

 

I was a little proud to see that the glass building in the corner of Tsukuda surrounded by high-rise apartment buildings condensed various news from all over Japan to the world, and from the past to the present.
