(8) In the Wako window, "owl's Eyes"!

G48.jpg G46.jpg

■(From HP) “Crystal”: The glittering Christmas Ginza looks like a kaleidoscope.

Therefore, the winter window is based on the theme of the parallel world in the kaleidoscope, expressing the winter forest of crystals.

The city becomes a forest, people become owl, shadows become color, and night darkness glows white.

When you look into an object inspired by owl's eyes, each of them has a story.

 

(9) In the temporary enclosure at the corner of the Ginza 4-chome intersection, there is an art work of "Rumbini Art Museum"! ! (Until January 18, next year)
G45.jpg G36.jpg

■(The text below is from the website of "Rumbini Art Museum" (〒025-0065 1-21-29 Hoshigaoka, Hanamaki City, Iwate Prefecture))

 

The Rumbini Art Museum is a space for art and relaxation operated by the social welfare corporation Korinkai.

 

The center of the works exhibited at the Rumbini Museum is the art works of people with disabilities.

In those works, the author has permeated what he seeks, infinitely.

There is a free fluttering. Occasionally, its powerful wings are free to the hearts of the viewer.

It leads to the world.

 

In addition, the work of the authors with disabilities is as deep as possible, which is the source of life of expression.

Yes, there is. There are various forms of expression in contemporary art. But its superficial shape

No matter how different it is, the source of expression is in the same place. With disability

The authors reveal the life of all sources of expression by their deep roots.
 

Our mind distinguishes a lot of things. People with disabilities and healthy people. Adults and children. With a man

Female Country, race, people and animals and plants...。 This world is made up of countless borders.

Yes.
If all the borders are completely erased, and they see them as just one.

If I could do it. If you could do that, what would you see there?
 
Maybe it's just the brilliance of life that you see there
 
It's fun and deep. If you could get a glimpse of such a brilliance at the Rumbini Museum, you will not be so happy.

No. 1 Yoshinoya store in Tsukiji

[Mr.Chuo-ku] December 19, 2014 15:00

 Founded in 1899, Yoshinoya's founding store (the first store) is located in the central wholesale market food in Tsukiji, Chuo-ku, with approximately 1,800 stores in Japan and overseas as the largest beef bowl chain.

 

※↓Click to enlarge each photo and image.

1.jpg


①Company name is Yoshinoya Co., Ltd. (English name: YOSHINOYA CO., LTD.)
※The character of Yoshi is correctly "soil" and "mouth".


②Founded in Nihonbashi Fish Bank, Chuo-ku

2.jpg

 
③The menu at the first store is only beef bowl, beef plate, and familiar side dishes such as miso soup and egg.

3.jpg

 

(1 company name, 2 photos, and 3 menu are excerpted from the official website.)

 
The following is a story I've heard.

The meat used at this first store is Japanese beef. Onion is also fresh and soft, and here Tsukiji is a place where "fresh ingredients" and "food professionals" gather, and you are also particular about beef bowls.
Also, at the time of ordering, options such as `` Negidaku '' and `` Tsuyudaku '' are all Yoshinoya, but at the first store, the degree varies depending on how many times you say `` dakudakudaku '' such as `` Negidakudaku '' and `` Tsuyudakudaku '' It seems to be. In addition, there are also "tsumeshiro (cold rice)" and "torodaku (a lot of meat fat)". The Tsukiji store, which was founded on the fish shore as Yoshinoya, seems to have special attention and has changed its stance from other stores.

 
Address: 5-2-1 Tsukiji, Chuo-ku, Tokyo Central Wholesale Market Food C

Business hours From 5:00 to 13:00

Regular holidays: In accordance with the Tsukiji Market

Chuo-ku Tekutekusanpo Harumi Ohashi

[kimitaku] December 17, 2014 16:00

 Harumi-dori St. 

 From Reimei Bridge, look at Harumi Triton Square to the left and go straight ahead.

 You can see Harumi Ohashi.

P1010012-HASISITA.jpg

This bridge is quite steep.

Perfect for jogging and walking.

If you cross it as it is, you will head to the Toyosu district.

Yurikamome.

You can see the round Toden substation (here is a submarine cable and powered from Kisarazu) and the new market construction site (relocation of Tsukiji Market) far away. 

P1010013-SOUKO.jpg

 On the right hand, Harumi's warehouse group Rainbow Bridge Tokyo Bay 

 Takeshiba Wharf You can see Mount Fuji if it is sunny far away.

 The left hand is LaLaport and Toyosu. 

 Once upon a time, there was a shipyard in Ishikawajima.

 

"Harumi Rinkai Park" has been created along the canal just before crossing Harumi Ohashi.

This park bicycle is prohibited.

Canals (sea?) even on holidays It's great for walking and jogging while watching.

Beyond that, there is also a sky tree.

Hurry!

[Shiraji] 09:00 on December 9, 2014

The Institute for Monetary and Economic Studies "Monetary Museum" is located in a branch that separates the street next to the Bank of Japan head office behind Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi.

History of the Currency Museum jpeg

Not only ancient Japanese currency and materials, but also rare foreign currency are collected and displayed.

 Inside the Money Museum 2.jpg

 
How much does one of the Edo period correspond to in modern times? In addition to comparisons with the prices of goods at that time, there are explanations that allow you to understand the value of money based on social and economic mechanisms, agricultural products' crops and regional differences, and devise ways to study economic society. It has been done.

In addition to displaying real objects and materials, you can actually feel the feel and weight by touching them, and there are also hands-on booths where you can use a loupe to examine precision counterfeiting prevention technology.

 

In addition to the origin of the yen and the history of Japanese currency, the rare foreign currency and banknotes are also a must-see.
