Do you know the event called "Kimono Salone"?

This is a major event in kimono and kimono fashion, which has been held mainly in COREDO Muromachi since 2012. Last year, the number of visitors was more than 10,000. What is the secret of its popularity...Whatever you say, the overwhelming gorgeousness that you can see! And it's a free event!

This year's event will be held twice in September and October. The September meeting has already ended, but I would like to introduce it briefly.

"Kimono marche" was held in YUITO, next to COREDO. There were about 75 kimono dealers who participated, and kimonos worn by each participating store elaborately at the entrance are slurried.

It is exhibited everywhere in the venue.

That team's yukata is a hot topic! There is also a back number.

The kimono on display is also popular. All participants can vote. It's also fun to find your favorite kimono and dressing!

At the store booth, all types of kimono and kimono goods are sold, from long-established stores to up-and-coming young people.

There is a convenient half-collar tape or kimono hanger that can be stored with closetts, and a stunning Yuzen dyeing that makes you feel like you are in the museum just by looking at it. There is also a special exhibition in Kyoto!

There is a demonstration corner of craftsmen in the venue.

There is also a sales corner for kits that can easily tie Japanese hair. You can actually tie Japanese hair (charged).

At the event corner, popular dressers gave tips on dressing and care courses, talk shows by popular cultural figures, stage for Nihon Buyo and shamisen, and even fashion shows. All of these can be viewed for free.

In addition, there is a corner where you can compare delicious Japanese sweets and Japanese sake drinks....。 Of course, there is also a kimono rental!

When you go out, be sure to visit the neighboring Fukutoku Shrine. It is a shrine where lottery (lottery) has been held since the Edo period, and it is still a popular shrine that is said to have a spiritual experience in lottery. There is also a sale of "lottery bags" for storing lottery tickets.

 

 

After a two-year renovation period, "Cartier Ginza Boutique" will be newly opened on Ginza Chuo-dori.

It seems that the area is more than 1,000 square meters in total floor area of 4 floors.

The upper part of the building was based on Kumiko from shoji door in Japan.

A tall streetlight standing in front of the store? That's fine.

"GINZA PLACE (Ginza Place)" is open on the 24th.

Sony's showrooms on the 4th and 5th floors are attracting attention!

 

 

The Nissan Gallery in Ginza 4-chome, which had been temporarily closed due to the rebuilding of the building since the end of March 2014.

On September 24th (Sat), I finally came back!

What is the name of the new Nissan Showroom?

"NISSAN CROSSING" (Nissan Crossing).

What is the first machine to be displayed?

I was very excited.

It was the new 2017 NISSAN GT-R NISMO.

It's cool.

Virtual reality that allows you to experience the running of GT-R with 360-degree sound and video

"Special Contents -VR Racing - (Special Content -VR Racing -)" was also very popular.

　

There was also a souvenir here.

The stainless steel tumbler is the final polish of the GT-R muffler (handwork!) I'm doing it

This is a work of a craftsman from Tsubamesanjo City, Niigata Prefecture. The price is still undecided.

When Edo Kiriko is placed on a stainless steel plate ... Nissan's symbol (playful).

Traditional Japanese chopsticks are lacquered from Wakasa, Fukui Prefecture. It seems to be very popular with foreign customers.

　

This is the former Nissan Gallery. What age do you remember?

From the viewpoint that it should be a little useful when volunteering, I wanted to learn how to use AED. I have a chance to receive normal lifesaving I at the fire department, so I will report it.

　

The cost was 1400 yen for the course, 82 yen for the postage stamp of the certificate, and the time was about 3 hours. There are two instructors from the Disaster Prevention Association. Participants are men and women (7+8) in their 40s and 70s.

　

For the first time after taking the course, I realized that it was not enough to just know how to use AED. Before attending the course, the AED had a voice guide and thought that it would be nice to do it, but I realized that that alone was not enough.

　Certificate received at a later date

　

In order to understand the content, it is best to take a course, but a part is described below.

　

１. Importance of First Aid If a bystander (person present) gives first aid in the event of an injured person, the life-saving effect will be improved and the progress of treatment will have a positive effect.

2.Bystanders play two important roles, the most important role of rescue,: (1) early reporting of cardiopulmonary arrest to the fire department and (2) primary lifesaving treatment (early cardiopulmonary resuscitation and AED treatment).

3.Life-saving measures are three treatments: cardiopulmonary resuscitation, defibrillation using AED, and airway foreign body removal, which are performed to save the lives of the victim.

　

Points

①Safety of the surroundings: The victim and myself.

②Ask the people around you for help loudly, call 119 and request the AED to be transported.

③Chest compressions are strong and fast and constant. Treatment with AED.

I understand it.

　

Lecturers were told that there were many people who work in buildings where many people gather, such as department stores. If you are interested, why don't you take this course? Training using dolls was also a good experience.

 

 

In September, reports on the 15th anniversary of the 911 terrorist attacks in the United States were conspicuous.

By the way, did you know that there is a facility in Chuo-ku that was greatly affected by this "911"?

The theme this time is Tokyo City Air Terminal in Nihonbashihakozakicho, abbreviation T-CAT.

　
After the opening of Narita Airport in 1978, T-CAT can perform boarding procedures and immigration examinations for airlines, and due to the location directly connected to the Metropolitan Expressway and Hakozaki JCT, it functioned as an entrance to the city center overseas. Was.
At that time, when going to Narita from the city center, it was a popular route to leave Japan by T-CAT and go to Narita by limousine bus. After completing the check-in procedure at the counter on the 1st floor of T-CAT, get a departure mark on your passport (although the notation was "NARITA") on the 3rd floor and get on a limousine, the familiar local town looked like a stylish foreign city.

　

However, immediately after the outbreak of "911", the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration notified that it was impossible to check in the North America route outside the departure airport, and unfortunately, due to the security enhancement of international immigration bureaus and airlines, the departure examination business was completed in July 2002 the following year. At the end of December of the same year, all airlines have completed boarding procedures.
Since then, it has been functioning as a terminal for limousine buses to Narita and Haneda, as you all know.

　

Recently, cheap limousine buses on Narita flights, including from Ginza, compete for services, and the Airport Transport Service departing and arriving at T-CAT can be felt expensive. However, if you ride again, there are many buses and it is easy to access the Hanzomon Line. You can enjoy shopping and meals, and you can see that the tourist information center is a well-received facility.
The mascot "Tatabi-kun" is also cute, and why not stop by when you visit "amazake Yokocho", a popular spot in Chuo-ku, or the neighborhood of Suitengu?

A different atmosphere than usual. The head of the lion statue in Mitsukoshi is black.

　It's a great discovery.

I remembered the song of "Stylish Man".
