At Hamarikyu Garden, a guide service using a portable information terminal (ubiquitous communicator) has started as a new ornamental style.

On January 23 (Saturday), the opening ceremony was held at 10:00 in front of the “300 Years of Pine” in the Hamarikyu Garden, followed by greetings from the organizers and greetings from guests and related parties, and tape cuts were made. Was.

 

 

 

By holding a ubiquitous communicator and wearing a mini receiver on your jacket, you can hear explanations when you approach that location.

It is divided into "a pond course with tide", "a course around the garden", and "free walking course".

Built 350 years ago as a separate residence for the Shogun family, it became a detached palace of the Imperial Family in the Meiji era, became a stage for gorgeous banquets, and was designated as a national "special historic site" and "special scenic spot".

The ubiquitous communicator's guide will inform visitors of a number of information about the location from the present to the past.

Admission fee is required, but the cost for ubiquitousus is free.

Why don't you visit the garden in Ubiquitous?

　　　　　　Admission fee ¥300.　　　　　　　　¥150. (65 years old or older)

 

 

 

At Hamarikyu, red plums, which signal the signs of spring, bloom beautifully and are now in full bloom.

Daffodils and Japanese allspice welcome guests with good fragrance.

The October cherry blossoms and Kofuku cherry blossoms, which have been blooming since last fall, still have small flowers.

From January 23rd (Saturday), ubiquitous will be introduced, and even if customers come alone on Weekday Day, you will be able to get information.

We will inform you about ubiquitous in the next time.

 Happy New Year.　It's the beginning of 2010.

The three days of the New Year are blessed with the weather, and the third day is about to calm down now.

I didn't see the dreams of Ichifuji, Nitaka, and San eggplants, but visited Hamarikyu, where there were demonstrations of hawk and Aikido.

 

There was an exhibition of winter peony, and I was fascinated by its beauty.

 

Hoshihajiro (male) is playing in the Shioiri Pond.

Every time the waves were calm and the water surface swayed quietly, I enjoyed the changes in the pattern due to the blue of the sky and the greenery of the trees.

   

 

It is a place where a falconer releases a hawk in the demonstration of "falconry". 

　

 

"Transfer" ... A hawk released by a hawk from a hawk 30-40m away flew by the ground and skyrocketed. 

　　　　　　　　　　It stops on the left arm of another falconer.

　

 

He is a falconer who has a hot break with the hawk after the demonstration. 

　 

 

 "Set up" ... Keep the hawk stable on the horizontal fist. It's the basis of all art.

　 

 

"Watering" ... Return the hawk on the tree to the fist.

"Replacement" ... let the fuck stop by the fist of a person other than the falconer.

"Swing pigeon" ... A falconer shakes a pigeon with a thin string and calls a hawk from a tree or another falconer's fist.

　　　　　　　　　Throw a pigeon near you and grab it in the air.

Hawk's costume has been using bird hats (hanging) underground tabi since the Meiji era.

The hawk is very delicate, and the demonstration while the building wind blows is surrounded by a large audience, I think that the hawkers are also having a great deal of trouble.

I thought that this traditional culture, which was handed down to Japan around the 4th century, had to be passed on to future generations.
