Sumida River Ohashi at night

[Mumin] Nov. 30, 2012 08:30

We strolled around the Sumida River Ohashi in late November, when the footsteps of the night became earlier.

It was neither hot nor cold, and I had to go to a pleasant night.


As you walk along the bridge from Chuo-ku, the illuminations of Eitai Bridge and Libashiti 21 on the back and high-rise buildings are beautiful on the right. You can also enjoy fireworks from Tokyo Bay fireworks festival in summer. On the left side of the bridge, the Kiyosu Bridge and the Sky Tree show a glutch face between them. The competition of light is also wonderful.


Enchanted by the illuminated Christmas version of the Royal Park Hotel on the way from Sumida River Ohashi toward Suitengu!

 I got home with a soft and dreamy feeling.

Yellow leaves of Ginkgo <Hamacho Park>

[Sam] Nov. 14, 2012 08:32

R0020045LS.JPG R0020067RSG.JPG As the cold in the morning and evening increases day by day, the street trees in the ward begin to change color, and ginkgo here at Hamacho Park is at its best.

Ginkgo is heavily used as a street tree because of the beauty of yellow leaves along with the green season and its strong in pruning.

As for the origin of the Japanese name, the common theory is that the shape of the leaves is regarded as a duck's foot: It is said to be an accent of a duck leg (Iacao).

In large trees, conical protrusions hanging from branches called air roots may occur, and are called "milk".

A scene where you can experience the deepening autumn.

The green to yellow leaves of the ginkgo at the entrance of Hamacho Park play the three colors of red, yellow, and green with the blue sky in the background, along with the autumn leaves of the large tree maple buff behind.

Pilgrimage to temples and shrines in the ward-No. 4 "Suitengu"

[Shitamachi Tom] Nov. 13, 2012 08:00

We visit temples and shrines in Chuo-ku and publish a series where you can enjoy a stroll while examining bad haiku. This time, I chose "Suitengu" as the fourth place of worship.

 

In front of Suitengu _R.JPGAs you know, "Suitengu" is gathering religion as a god of child-raising, safe delivery, and child-raising. In the first place, the Arima family, based in Kurume, Kyushu, worshiped in the mansion. Similar to Kurume's headquarters, the three pillars are gods, in addition to the primitive god of Japan, Tenno-Minakashujin (Aminonaka Nushi no Kami).

It is the beginning of history in Edo that the Arima family recommended the branch of "Suitengu", which was revered in Kurume, to Edo Kamiyashiki (currently near Mita, Minato-ku) at the time in 1818 (Bunsei Gen). . It is said that the religion of the common people increased so much despite being inside the clan residence, so it became even more popular because it allowed visitors to visit the residence only once a month. At that time, the word "Suitengu of Arima" remains in the ground (stylish language).lovely 

Suitengu Torii_R.JPGIn the Meiji era, he turned two and moved to the site of the Arima family Edo Nakayashiki in the current Kakigara-cho. There was also a downtown area in Ningyocho nearby, and the number of visitors did not decrease. By the way, when transferring divine spirit from the former Arima family Edo Kamiyashiki, it was divided into the local area, so "Suitengu" is still enshrined at the former Shinmeigu Shrine in Mita.

 

By the way, Mr. Arima of the Kurume clan was originally named after Settsu Nationaluma County. It's where the famous Arima Onsen in Kobe is located. In addition, the school name is derived from the fact that [Ama Elementary School in Chuo Ward], located right next to Suitengu Shrine, was founded by the donation of the 12th owner of the Arima family during the Meiji Restoration. In addition, what I think of the Arima family is Mr. Yorining, the 15 heads who also worked as politicians. It has left a name in the horse racing Grand Prix "Arima Memorial". I was associated with such a variety of relationships.horse 

 

By the way, when you visit "Suitengu" on a sunny autumn holiday, you can see many parents and children from Celebration for the healthy growth of children and first shrine visit for a newborn during this season. Recently, some groups have become like groups surrounding small children, accompanied by their parents and their parents, reflecting the declining birthrate and aging population. This is also a smile when the smile overflows more than usual.chick 

 

 

Dog in Suitengu _R.JPG Kappa of Suitengu _R.JPGAs soon as you climb the stairs and pass through the torii gate, it's main hall. Hold your hands quietly. Suddenly looking beside shrine hall, there are statues of dogs and kappa statues, watching the growth of children. Dogs have long been admired like guardian angel, a child who has many births and safe births. It has been a custom since ancient times to tighten the abdominal belt on "Dog Day". Kappa is also said to give blessings to safe delivery and child care. Listening to the children's innocent voice, I can't help but pray, "I hope this world is peaceful."dog 

 

Komatsuya-san _R.JPGWhen you leave the precincts and go to the main street, you will find an old candy store (Komatsuya) below the shrine. It seems that everything has been open since 1924. It is said that they originally sold kneaded candy to worshipers, but eventually they began to sell Chitose candy in the Shichigosan season.

By the way, it is customary that Tsunayoshi Tokugawa (later the fifth general), who was originally Tatebayashi feudal lord, began celebrating his health when his son was five years old. Therefore, it was a custom centered on the Kanto region, but it is said that it gradually spread throughout the country after the Meiji era. Nowadays, there are some people who do it flashy like a children's fashion show, but after all, it is more important for parents to pray for their child's growth rather than shape.sign03 

 

It was a day of calmness, regretting the fall.

Sarunosuke of the Great Struggle-Meijiza November Hanagata Kabuki

1. Nov. 10, 2012 08:30

Meijiza is the theater with the longest history in Tokyo, celebrating its 140th anniversary in April next year. I'm the first in 19 years since the performance dropped after the rebuilding in 1993. At the lobby gallery on the 2nd floor, the history since Kishoza is being exhibited with photo panels as the "Meijiza 140 Years Exhibition". I took a picture with permission. The work that premiered in November 1885, when the Chitoseza opened, is "4,000 Ryo" currently being performed in theater.

After a quick review of the history of Meijiza, it was built on the south side of the Hisamatsu Police Station as of 1873 and opened as Kishoza.


Meiji 12 (1879) Hisamatsu-za, Meiji 18 (1885) Chitose-za, Meiji 26 (1893) Meijiza


Performers and performances of that era are introduced in photos, so you can enjoy it easily. If you come to the theater, please take a look. Danjuro Ichikawa appeared in September 1896 (Meiji 29) and was full for 25 days. At that time, it was said that the soba bills were placed in a large bag and distributed, and that today's large bag was the beginning of today.


By the way, the evening part of this month is the passage of "Tokubee Tenjiku New Story" (now Yobanashi). When the third generation Sarunosuke revived and performed "Tokubee Tenjiku Korea Story", which was a success in the north and south, he interwovened Kodaira Obata's ghost story based on "Korea Story". Tokubee Tenjiku was a real person from the Edo era who traveled to Tjiku (India) during the Kanei era under Ryoi Suminokura, and after returning to Japan, he gained a reputation after listening and writing his experience. The premiere was in Kawarasaki-za in 1804, and it was said that the early replacement of Hatsuse Matsusuke was so vivid that it became popular as Christian fairy and the magistrate came to the inspection immediately. (It's also a story that it's an advertisement for a hut.) Sarunosuke of the day, the head who jumped into the spring water is the upper messenger from the flower path, and the ghost of Kodaira plays many times of early change to the evil woman's Otowa happily and happily. The neighbor said, "I'll make you happy here." The last one is the highlight of the air ride. I'm sorry! I wish I had a seat on the second floor! I think it was at this time. You're late. In the lunch section, "Shinjo Reika" and "Spider thread Azusa string" (Yumihari Kumono and Azusa no) are also replaced early.

Until the twenty-seventh.

 

 

 

I experienced making Ozu Washi Japanese paper.

[Sunset Hill] Nov. 8, 2012 15:00

The whole Chuo-ku Museum 2012 was held on November 4 (Sun).

There are many fun events every year, so I'm worried about choosing an event to participate in.

Participated in the Ozu Washi Paper Making Experience on November 3 (holiday).

All use a front mount because there is a risk of getting wet during work.


suketa.jpgI experienced it with the guidance of my teacher.

First, put the liquid of the strainer into the cagegirder, and then put the liquid of the strainer into the girder.

I will repeat the paper.

 

Hold the wooden frame firmly in the cage girder of the ship.

Rinse a small amount of liquid (liquid that becomes the base of paper) and throw it away immediately.


Next, draw a lot of liquid and shake it rhythmically about 30 times. Repeat it three times and finally draw a little liquid again and throw it away immediately.

Tororo Aoi is added to the strainer in addition to raw materials such as Mitamata and gangi.

This is to add troro Aoi to the raw material heavier than water to float the entire raw material.

Paper from the cage girder (liquid is in paper state)

To make it easier to peel off, the paper around the girder is used.

I'll remove it with my finger.

Remove the paper from the cage girder.


Next, suck the water of the paper with a machine.

(It's as if you were sucking it with a vacuum cleaner.)


kannsou.jpgApply the paper that is still wet to the dry wall of a thick iron plate.

Put it on and dry it.


Use a soft brush to prevent air from entering between the dry wall and the paper.

Don't get wrinkled. It is stroked with a brush.

I had a big wrinkle, and I had my teacher fix it.


We used the time until the paper dried to visit the Ozu Museum.

Is it strange that each flower oshi of ancient document is black?

Everyone in the historical drama that I see on TV is red.
At that time, ordinary people were told that black ink was black, and only those with high status were red flowers.


There was also an exhibition of a thousand cars. It's only a box, but it's quite heavy, putting a thousand cars in a box like a rat kid

It is said that it is difficult to carry on the shoulder. (The weight of 1,000 ovals is the Edo Tokyo Museum

http://www.edo-tokyo-museum.or.jp/ Simulated Experience is available.)

 

It took about an hour and a half from paper making to finishing.

The paper making experience is until January next year, and it seems that it will be closed for a while thereafter.

Thank you very much for having an unusual experience.

 

 

 

 

"Yagenbori Mobile Shopping Street" is Friday and Saturday at the end of October every year.

[Silver] Nov. 6, 2012 18:00

On October 27th, I was strolling through Higashinihombashi, and I was able to see a little visit, so I went to Yagenbori fudoson. But in front of fudoson, I hear some lively and cheerful voice. Yes, I'm waiting for the kids to get on the mini SL. Today was the day when the "Yagenbori Mobile Shopping Street" was held once in case.

The shirt was sold at a low price, so when I bought two pieces, I got a lottery ticket for Fukubiki. I received a 500 yen voucher by lottery, so I was worried that I would not buy anything else. You're good at your business. But please take a look at the price. The shoes cost around 10,000 yen, are 3900 yen. It's exactly the service price.  

DSC00121.jpg DSC00123.jpg

 When you finish shopping and want to take a break, a wonderful smile entertainment. We had delicious tea with "heart of hospitality". Thank you very much. Thank you very much.
