　Tsukiji Honganji's Noryo Bon Dance Festival began on July 29.

　I'm going to the venue with a low head.

　There were many shops outside Tsukiji, and there was a line of people buying delicious food.

　Everyone seemed to be very happy. Please refer to the report of another correspondent for photos of the fun scene.

Today, I studied, so I was forced to disappear in the dark.

I'd like to know you soon.

From the end of the Tokugawa period, I sometimes go to Nihonbashi Elementary School, which stands on the site of the Saigo Takamori mansion in the Meiji era.
I'm in for the library and pool.

First, leave Exit 8 at Suitengumae Station on the Hanzomon Line and return to school.
You can see "This half of freshly fried croquettes" like a special one.

There are a number of old-fashioned alleys around here, each with a food shop.
There are a lot of things. Meanwhile, it was a small piece called "Nakayama", famous for tempura.
There is a shop. The couple is inside and outside the counter.
Tendon, which has a somewhat black and sweet and spicy sauce while creating a lily atmosphere.
It's a treat here, it's no wonder that there are many regulars at night.

Then, looking around the alley, there is a whale figurine on the roadside,
This was called Fukiya-cho and Sakaimachi during the Edo period, and is popular among the common people.
It seems to have been a mecca for maneuvering dolls. The doll's manipulation thread used at that time
In other words, the beard of a whale can make the most flexible movement.
It seems to be a sign of appreciation for this whale.
　

And speaking of Oyakodon, it's "Tamahide", and I also have lunch on a holiday day.

And there are two towers that rise the street of the subway station in Ningyocho and Suitengu.

You can see "Edo Rakugo Karakuri Ogura" and "Edo Fire Exting Karakuri Ogura".

　(Edo Rakugo Karakuri Ogura)

Ningyocho seems to be a place where some old Osaka remnants remain.

Since opening in Hakozaki in December 2014
A popular bagel specialty store
I would like to introduce you to Mr. OZO BAGEL.

Get off at TCAT in front of Suitengu-mae, next to Hakozaki police box
Turn left and look like a small bakery
You can see the shop.
An elephant is lifting the bagel with his nose
The sign is a landmark.

I studied in earnest in New York
When the owner opens a shop
It gradually became popular,
Now it is a popular shop where you can line up.
I'll see you all the way from Chiba
There are also customers.

I had it, too
If you are a woman, you will be full with half.
It has a sense of volume. And what is sandwiched
Meals such as tandori chicken, etc.
Both sweet flavors such as blueberry cream are used.
With plenty of delicious ingredients
You can roll it.

Immediately after opening, lunch, and return to work.
A lot of people are lined up.
Avoid it and go to the shop
I think it can be purchased relatively smoothly.

When I visit the shop, it's Saturday at 13:30.
It seems that it's relatively easy.

The owner's authentic prepared bagel
Why don't you try it?

Do you know the face that you put on your face when you dance Noh?

 
Now, turn west at Nihonbashi Maruzen and go to "Tanaka Yaesu Gallery".
"Histo Iwasaki Koki Memorial Noh / Kyogen Painting Exhibition" will be held until July 6th.

　　
A scary face, a gentle woman's face, a smiley old man, a foolish face, Daikoku and
You may have time to rest your mind without getting tired of watching.
　　

Noh is said to have started in the Muromachi period, and it seems that Noh masks have a long history.
Each side reflects the heart of a person (called "Omote") is made of cypress.
It is a work that is carved three-dimensionally, painted with chalk, and takes several months to create it.

　
When viewed from various angles, you can see a different expression, and enjoy the emotions and emotions of humans.
I think you can see it.

If you have time, why don't you stop by?

By the way, on June 30, I came to the purification of Natsukoshi at Koami Shrine in Ningyocho.
I hope you will be able to spend the next six months again this year.

We conducted a guide on June 30 as the first step of the "Special Industrial Course".
 

Until now, in the “Industrial Course”, correspondents brought customers to the designated shop and asked the shop to explain, but in the “Special Industrial Course”, two correspondents set courses It was the first attempt to set up and explain ourselves.
 

The course we set this time gathered in front of "Suitengu" under construction, went to Ningyocho-dori to "Okanonji", passed through the Hamacho Ryokudo from Suehiro Shrine, entered amazake Yokocho, and finally heard at Itakuraya.
　

It was the first case, and two photographers and TV photographers were accompanied by a publicity in Chuo-ku.

Broadcast seems to be done for one and a half minutes in "Hello Chuo-ku" of the 15 minutes program. It seems that you can watch it from "YouTube" from July 13 (for details, please refer to the website of Chuo-ku).

All 10 customers who were elected were participating.
 

I was nervous because I had to explain everything myself, but the course I was introducing this time was the local Ningyocho, so I decided to take a light feeling, "Well, it will be something."

I think the experience of the bus guide at the "Marugoto Museum" was very useful.
 

At Suehiro Shrine, "Chinowa" was set up on the day of "Summer Exorcism" on June eve, so everyone visited us.

After that, I explained some of them at amazake Yokocho and took them to the final destination, Itakuraya.

At Itakuraya, we received various explanations while receiving hot freshly baked doll ware.

Ningyo-yaki uses a baked type of about 3 kg, which can be burned 6 pieces at a time, and it is said that the bean paste is sandwiched between the dough that mixes mirin, condensed milk and eggs (separated white and yolk) with flour and baked.

It seems that 1,500 to 2,000 pieces a day are sitting in front of hot gas and continuing to bake, so it's hard work.

Anyway, I was relieved to be able to safely dissolve around the planned course at 11:30 without any accidents.

I think it was a very good experience.

On the morning of a weekday in late June, I went to Kyobashi Library to return books.　

At the entrance of the library, a woman of the museum staff distributed some numbered tickets.

　"Today is the day of book recycling," he said.

If I received the ticket, it was 89.

For the time being, I decided to return the book and read the book I liked until 10 o'clock.

Then the seats in the hall were so crowded that they were almost full.

While waiting in line

I got information from the front and rear people saying, "I will do it next week at Nihonbashi Library."

I thought there was no more left at 89, but what a lot of books

I received a total of 12 books, including large fonts of Chinese-Japanese dictionary and cooking books.

I'm glad I happened to come by bicycle, but it was hard on trains and buses.

The next week I went to Nihonbashi Library. (This is the historic site of the Saigo Takamori Yashiki.)

The hall is very spacious and calm.

I'm the 63rd place here. I received 10 books.

The schedule for "recycling books" will be announced in the city's public relations magazine in early May every year.

It seems that it is also held at the Tsukishima Library.

I'll definitely go next year.
