Greenery Hamarikyu Garden

 This year is also the season of GW in no time. Personally, I feel "early", but are there many people who have already taken long vacations? I'm going to take a rest according to the calendar for now.

 Today is Showa Day. The weather seemed to be good, and I remembered that this month's ward news had a free admission ticket for Hamarikyu (for residents in the ward), so I went out with a book.
 

 I entered from Ote Kadoguchi, but there is a bicycle storage area in front of the entrance. Please note that there is no parking lot for visitors.

 Some Yae-zakura was still in bloom, but at this time the wisteria was blooming beautifully. I was able to see the beautiful wisteria trellis up close.

 In the park, the number of benches was large, and I read the book I brought for about an hour and continued my walk. There were many tourists from Asia, Europe and the United States. Everyone, you can take a picture using a selfie stick.

 

 There is a forecast that the weather will collapse in the second half of the GW, but let's go again. Have a good meal at the nearby Tsukiji Market... On May 6 (holiday), "Half Price Market" will be held at Tsukiji Outer Market.

Hello! I'm a rat, Miko.

Today, I have participated in the Dementia Prevention Course, so I will report on the situation.

 

"Dementia" You hear this topic once a week.

There may be many people who think of it every day.

Reflecting that, the course is full! It was a popular course that some people were lost.

https://www.city.chuo.lg.jp/kusei/kohokotyo/koho/h27/270401/06_01/index.html


 

 Blog: Dementia. jpg

Lecturer is Chiaki Ura (Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Health and Longevity Medical Center), who has been active in many lectures.

 

Dr. Ura first said that nothing was proved to be 100% prevention of dementia.

However, it has been quite clear that it is effective to delay the onset of disease.

It's encouraging to be revealed just by delaying!

 

This is the main subject.

What I particularly wanted to know was "What should I start with?" "What is really effective?"

If you look at the book on prevention of dementia, you can see that

Medicine, exercise, travel, polyphenol, vegetables, conversation, brain training game, laughter, handicrafts, challenge to new things ...

When you start to list it, there is an endless amount of information.

But I don't know what's good.

 

What helped me to solve this is that dementia prevention behavior can be classified into two categories.

These two are a "physiological approach" to prevent damage to the brain's body, and a "cognitive approach" to maintain brain judgment.

 

If you divide the above example roughly, do you feel like this?

Physiological approach ⇒ Drugs (treatment of hypertension, etc.), exercise, polyphenols, vegetables

Cognitive approach ⇒ Travel, conversation, brain training game, laughter, handicrafts, challenge to new things

 

Finding what you can do from both, not on the other side. He said that if you only do one or two months, you will not keep up with the aging speed, so it is important to keep it for a long time.

It was easy to understand as an example of what can be continued is that if you are writing a household account book, it would be effective to write it out while remembering what you bought without looking at the receipt. In this case, you can do it without taking a new time, so it seems easy to continue.

In a physiological approach, the effectiveness of exercise is quite clear, and it seems that daily activities such as housework can be done.

 

And lastly, the most impressive thing was the keyword "Take iron while it's hot."

One of the characteristics of people who have continued for six months later is "the person who started immediately after hearing."

 

Everyone who participated in the course together, have you started something after that?

If you're motivated to start by reading this article, let's start together today!

・・What did I start? Next time, I will introduce you.

 

In the course of the main part, we had a lot of other data and developed a lecture that motivated me to start.

 

It was Chuo-ku Workers Service Corporation Let's Chuo, who hosted this course.

http://www.chuo-tokyo.com/

In the center of Let's, health seminars such as Pilates (July), pelvis stretching (October), and Qigong (March) will be held this year.

In addition, classrooms that are attracting attention now, such as fruit cutting classes (July) and icing cookie making classes (October), will be held exclusively for members.

If you work for a small and medium-sized business and live or work in Chuo-ku, please use it!

 

I also want to apply for a fruit cutting class and an icing cookie making class.

 

As mentioned above, she was a mice.

I hope you will have a happy day today!

 

 

"Culture and History of Mitsui"

[Marsha Horiuchi of Edo] April 23, 2015 14:00

A special exhibition commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Mitsui Bunko and the 10th anniversary of the Mitsui Memorial Museum is being held at the Mitsui Memorial Museum, which celebrated its 10th anniversary.

 

The contents are "A Masterpiece of Chanoyu" from the previous term (April 11-May 6) and
In the second half (May 14-June 10), it is Japan's leading "350 years of Mitsui talked about by management historical materials".

When you enter this museum, designed with an elevator, calm appearance, and light lighting up to the 7th floor of the Mitsui Main Building.
There is a sense of being released from the hustle and bustle of the world. The tea ceremony developed during the Muromachi period in Kamakura, which ended in the war, is a tea ceremony.
In such a situation, the tea room "Nyoan", which may have provided a temporary samurai seeking peace of mind, is reproduced.

Among the many bowls, the most impressive thing is this black bowl, the gentle type that many people have touched it for hundreds of years, seems to be a unique Japanese sensibilities. I think.

The history of Mitsui dates back to Ise and Matsuzaka for about 350 years, during the Edo period.
Overcoming many hardships in the kimono and cotton kimono store division (Mitsui Echigoya) and the financial division (Mitsui currency exchange store).
It's up to now. The ukiyo-e of Muromachi 2-chome, where Mount Fuji can be seen, still has its impression.
It is said that there are more than 20,000 companies in Japan that have been in business for more than 100 years, and it seems like a world-class long-lived company.
Many are small and medium-sized long-established stores, but Mitsui is a global Japanese company representing large stores (Odana).

Statue of the therapy dog "Tyori" 

[kimitaku] April 20, 2015 14:00

If you look at Kabukiza to the left and walk along Harumi-dori St., you will go to the intersection of Mannen Bridge.

Ginza Park on the left of the intersection.

Looking at the left hand from the street, you can see a cute dog parent and child statue.

 

It's a famous dog Chirori Monument.

The owner speaks to the dog, strokes it, and when the dog looks at the owner,

"Oxytoxin": Hormones that feel safe in each other's bodies: 

Will increase.

Utilizing it, mental stability, improvement of dementia, and cerebral infarction.

A lot of therapy dogs are now active, such as encouraging recovery of sequelae. 

  

 Thylori, a abandoned dog with a right foot with a right foot, was rescued to the Therapy Dog Association from being killed at the Animal Protection Center and dedicated to the mental and physical care of patients and the elderly for 12 years before his death.

 "Therapy Dog,"

 This free affection has given people the courage to live and hope for recovering their condition.       

   

When crossing the intersection, look at the lovely "Tyori" and their children's statues.

I'll make you feel relieved.

 

 

Nohanaji (a specialty store for wild grass and tea flowers)

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] April 15, 2015 14:00

As soon as you enter the street behind Matsuya Ginza from Ginza 3-chome, Marronnier Street, there is a specialty store for wildflowers and tea flowers, Nonohanaji.

tsuk1.JPG

In this shop, wild "field flowers" that are not cultivated are sold (some are cultivated)

These wild grasses are sent directly to shops from more than 10 locations nationwide (from Tohoku in the north to Kyushu in the south). The shop has more than 50 kinds of wild flowers.

tsuk2.JPG

When you enter the shop, it smells very nice of seasonal flowers.

However, the atmosphere of the shop is completely different from the usual () florists. There is a feeling of "wa". In addition, because the color of the flowers is not swaying, just staying in the shop feels calm and healed.

tsuk3.JPG

On the second floor of the shop, there is a cafe space "Chabo" and a gallery "Spaceji".

In "Chabo", it seems that "Noyama feast" made by cooking wild vegetables etc. in a tsukudani style and homemade sweetness are prepared. It seems to be a space where you can relax slowly, so I would like to visit you next time.

In addition, about photography, we had consent from shop. Thank you for your cooperation m(__)m
