Spring sailing "Teryo Maru"

[kimitaku] April 23, 2014 14:00

Walking around Harumi Park, where the cherry blossoms are scattered, the quay is noisy.

They all line up on the deck and head to each place under command.

 Onboard broadcasting, we are going to prepare for the departure. Everyone is moving quickly in each place.

DSC_0004-1.jpg On the quay, port staff in yellow clothes wait on their respective mooring ropes and wait for the support of the captain.

 From the park behind I heard the sound of "Japanese white-eye" and "Japanese bush warbler". The park is somehow peaceful.

 

 When I asked the port staff about the destination of the ship, he smiled and said, "I don't know where to go." .

Shortly after, a "tugboat" arrived from Takeshiba on the opposite bank.

I put a rope on "Teryo Maru" and started pulling it. Then the mooring rope was removed and the preparation for departure was completed.

"Bou" a huge whistle roars in the sky.

  The whistle shook his whole body and brought me back completely from the fall of spring.

Then, led by a towing boat, "Teryo Maru" passed through the Rainbow Bridge and headed to the open sea.

"Teryo Maru" seems to be heading for a survey of fisheries resources in the Pacific Ocean. And the port staff in yellow clothes also disappeared somewhere with a yellow port ship, and the towing boat heads directly to Takeshiba Wharf.

 

 Occasionally, you can see such a boating scene at Harumi Wharf.

 

 

I'm 100 years old! (Lion statue of a lion in Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi)

The Nihonbashi area is bustling with the opening of Coredo Muromachi 2-3.

The Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store is located across Chuo-dori from Choredo Muromachi.
 

The building of this main building is said to be celebrating its 100th anniversary this year.

Open in March of this year (2014) with Koledo Muromachi of Hoyahoya.

Mitsukoshi, who was completed 100 years ago (1914), is facing each other in the same place.

That's a good thing.

 
And speaking of Mitsukoshi, that's right a lion statue.

At the front entrance of Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store, two lions will welcome us at any time.

And the lions are also 100 years old this year.

※The Lion's hands were handshake with everyone.
 

On this day, we celebrated the Lions' 100 years old.

A lion in costume and even a golden lion statue appeared.

The event was held grandly.

Congratulations to the Lions!

I look forward to seeing you!
