A store specializing in globes

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] May 31, 2015 09:00

Nihonbashi Muromachi 1-chome, a 2-minute walk from Tokyo Metro Mitsukoshimae Station, and a little from Muromachi Koji, I saw the word "Earth globe" in my eyes with a bright yellow neon tube.

It seems that it is the only shop in Japan that specializes in () globes.

Inside the store, large to small, old-fashioned learning to heavy wooden frames, various colors, various materials (including gemstones) are on display.

There was a preconception about globes for learning to be used in world geography, but if you look at the globe on display at this shop, it seems that it will respond to all kinds of requests according to the application.

In particular, there are some wonderful things that you want to keep in the room as interiors (from large ones that are placed directly on the floor to small ones that are placed on a desk), and in fact, there are many purchases as gifts. It seems that you can attach plates etc. according to your wishes.

According to the shop, the president who loves the globe launched a shop specializing in globes 20 years ago on the Internet and opened a shop specializing in globes, and there was a strong demand from customers who wanted to see the real thing, so it was said that this shop was opened 10 years ago.

It is very thankful that you can see and see the globe, such as the globe that is automatically turning slowly with sunlight, and awareness of the globe may change when you come to this shop.

If you are interested, please stop by.

Visit the Ota Memorial Museum

[Wind in all directions] May 23, 2015 14:00

 R0015366.jpg

The exhibition period has been low (until May 28), but at the Ota Memorial Museum, a museum specializing in Ukiyo-e.

The exhibition "Hiroshige and Kiyochika" is currently being held.

(The Ota Memorial Museum is located in Shibuya Ward, but it was an exhibition related to Chuo-ku, so I will introduce it.)

 

 Hiroshige and Kiyochika were born in samurai in the Edo and Meiji eras, and Kiyochika was influenced by Hiroshige.

I'll keep it.

 

 In his later years, Hiroshige's paintings, who lived in Kyobashi, can be seen everywhere when walking around the city of Chuo-ku.

"Nihonbashi" of 'Tokaido Gojusanji'--everyone has seen a picture of Feudal lord's procession and fish shops on the riverbank that depart early in the morning

I think there is something.

 When I was a child, it was commonly known as Hiroshige Ando, but the real name and the issue are strange, and now Hiroshige Utagawa (1797).

It is called ~ 1858). Kiyochika Kobayashi (1847-1915), the Kiyochika (Kiyochika), was called 'Hiroshige of the Meiji era'.

Yes. He was born in the head office and his tomb are also in Taito Ward, and there is nothing special to mention with Chuo-ku. However, he returned to Hiroshige

For this reason, we have left many scenery of Chuo-ku.

 

 It was a great success even on weekdays, but I was able to enjoy Japan's proud ukiyo-e.

 

Needless to say, I took a walk along the Sumida River the next day. In particular, wooden structures before turning into steel frames at the end of the Meiji era.

I imagined Shin-ohashi Bridge.

 

You can take a walk while comparing the Chuo-ku depicted in Ukiyo-e with the current Chuo-ku.

If you are interested, please go out.

Tokyo Bay seen from Harumi Wharf

I want to see the sea.

In such a case, the Harumi Pier Passenger Terminal is a recommended spot.

Due to poor transportation, there are few people and you can monopolize the view.

Why don't you get up a little early and come to Harumi after jogging?

Soft morning sun, refreshing sea breeze, blue sea.

They grow greatly while feeling them.

Harumi will be an athlete's village during the Tokyo Olympics.

Please come by all means.

 

When you feel like you want to see the sea,

is a recommended spot.

A sparsely-populated region due to inconvenient transport,

yet be able to enjoy uninterrupted sea views.

Why not get up a bit earlier and stop by for a while

when you are jogging around Harumi?

Gentle morning sun,

refreshing sea breeze,

and the deep blue sea.

Please try to fully stretch yourself while feeling them.

Harumi is selected as one of the sites for Olympic Village

for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Why not have a visit here first before the Olympics?

 

Whether or not you have a special view of the sea?

At this time, Harumi Passenger Ship Together, Fujiyuki.

Inconvenience of traffic, the ruin of people.

Joya's reason, Tokufuku, Jono's German Toru Mikage.

It's a good idea to get up.

Are you looking at Harumi?

In the morning, calm, sea breeze, deep sea water.

At any time you enjoy it, you will not be able to enjoy it.

Harumi in Tokyo Okubayashi Kazukatsu, a general work in Okubayashi village during the exhibition period.

What's the difference?

 

 

 

Handmade "City Walk" (Part 1)

[Marsha Horiuchi of Edo] May 21, 2015 15:00

Today is the "town walk".

 
1) On weekends, go to Kabukiza Kiboricho Square, which is directly connected to Higashiginza Exit 3 of the Hibiya Line.

The Kabukiza Japanese lantern, a large Kantei style character, was a landmark, and a wind chime was hung.
Preparing for summer, first of all, please have a pleasant sound.

2) Go south on Showa-dori 2 blocks in the direction of Tsukiji, theater Street.

I can't go on May 21-24 of this year, so if I can tell the atmosphere with last year's photos, I'd like you.

3) By the way, if you walk around Shin-ohashi-dori St. at Tsukiji 4-chome, aiming for Tsukiji Outer Market, foreign tourists will stand out.
There are a lot of sushi restaurants here, but I have many foreigners.

A tuna seafood wholesaler who has his own seri number called "Tsukijikan no".
I had this bowl. (900 yen)

4) "Hamarikyu Onshi Garden" is located next to Tsukiji Market, where you are hungry.

During the Edo period, at the time of the Shogun's annex and the Yatsushiro Shogun Yoshimune, Shirazo, who walked from Nagasaki in 1729, lived here.
Green and ponds (there is also a seawater pond because they are connected to Tokyo Bay) and a cup in teahouse are the best for holidays on weekends.

5) Finally, return to Tsukiji Honganji Temple at Tsukiji Station on the Hibiya Line.

I will visit here and get a different bill every month and return home. It can be used for book bookmarks.

From now on, I would like to take care of the heat and do my best.

 

 

 

"Kachidoki 5-chome Greenery" overlooking the Sumida River

[kimitaku] May 20, 2015 18:00

  Cross Kachidokibashi from Tsukiji and go straight to your right. 

 There is a small park.

"Kachidoki 5-chome Greenery"

 Even if you walk, you can overlook it without knowing it

 It's a really small park. 

 However, this park is also a park where people can relax and relax.

You can also see a new bridge built downstream of Kachidokibashi up close.

 

DSC_0083-1.jpgThe right side of the opposite bank is Tsukiji Central Market. "St. Luke's Tower" far away.

 

DSC_0084-1.jpgOn the left side of the downstream is the Hamarikyu Garden.

In the back, you can also see the skyscrapers of Shiodome.

 

On the afternoon of a holiday, sometimes in this small park.

Why don't you look at the distant scenery, look at the boats you come and go, and relax?

"Midori" shop [PIANTA × STANZA showroom]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] May 20, 2015 09:00

While strolling through the Shinkawa area, I found a shop with an impactful store that would stop unintentionally on the south side of Eitai-dori St.

The facade is overflowing with "green"

piant1.JPG

A signboard saying "PIANTA x STANZA" was appearing.

piant2.JPG

It was said that it opened last year in a showroom of a company that coordinates interiors and exteriors using plants, mainly on wall greening, when I can't go through it, and when I enter the shop.

The showroom is also full of green.

piant3.JPG

The name of the shop "PIANTA x STANZA" is Italian and means "plant x space", and the concept of the company is "Let's live with the garden".

We also sell green items (plants) limited to stores.

If you have "green" in your living space, you can relax.

piant4.JPG

The address of this showroom is 1-9-3 Shinkawa.

Business hours are from 11:00 to 20:00 (closed on Thursday).

If you are near here, please stop by.

Just being surrounded by "green" in the showroom will be healed.

It seems that there will be a showroom on the rooftop this summer.

piant5.JPG

Please note that photography in the showroom has been approved in advance.

The explanation of the staff of the shop was also very easy to understand. Thank you for your cooperation m(__)m
