　In 1733, the Sumida River Fireworks Festival was revived in 1978, inheriting the tradition of "Ryogoku River Opening", which was said to originate in the `` Water God Festival '' praying for the memorial service of those who were victims of the great famine and the epidemic of the previous year.

This year, the 41st year, was postponed to July 29 due to Typhoon No. 12.

At the first venue from the lower part of Sakurabashi to the upper part of Kototoi Bridge, a total of 10 companies, including those related to Ryogoku and those who have achieved excellent results in fireworks festival, are held. About 20,000 fireworks will decorate the night sky over the typhoon.

Sumida River Ohashi is also one of the viewpoints. Over the Kiyosu Bridge, you can enjoy the vivid large flowers blooming in the sky along with the lighting "Iki" of the Tokyo Sky Tree, blown by the pleasant breeze across the river surface.

 

 

The Hakozaki River consisted of a main stream of 1.06 km from Nihonbashinakasu to Nihonbashi River, and a tributary of 0.12 km between Nihonbashinakasu and Nihonbashihakozakicho. And in 1971, the main stream was reclaimed and disappeared in 1972. At this time, Nihonbashihakozakicho and Nihonbashinakasu became the first land connected to Nihonbashikakigaracho and Nihonbashihamacho. By the way, Nihonbashinakasu has a single town name that does not have a "Chome". The reclaimed land has the Metropolitan Expressway and the Tokyo City Air Terminal.

This project is to walk along the site of Hakozaki River.

The starting point will be a little upstream of Kiyosu Bridge. Even today, there was a sluice gate.

When I got off the Sumida River Terrace, it was Ayame Daini Park. Ayame's name comes from Shobu Bridge on the Hakozaki River. The photo on the right seems to be the revetment of the Hakozaki River. The seawall curves to the right, but this land was the tip of Nakasu.

From the bridge in the foreground to Otokobashi and Shobu Bridge Membashi. In other words, it was taken from the Nakasu tip area to Hamacho and Kakigara-cho.

Walking through Ayame Park, you can see a number of revetments of the Hakozaki River.

"Photos provided by Chuo Ward Kyobashi Library"

The photo above shows Shobu Bridge in the Showa 30s below shows the current ruins of Shobu Bridge. The top of the Hakozaki River is the Metropolitan Expressway. Kotohira-gu Shrine is located behind the trees on the right side of the upper and lower photo. Kotohira-gu Shrine still stands at the base of Shobu Bridge.

The photo on the upper left is from the front of Kotohiragu Shrine. If you look at Tamagaki contributors, you will notice that there were many Kappo cuisine restaurants such as Yayoi Nakashu Kappo cuisine, Mita Nakashu Kappo cuisine, Nakashu Kappo cuisine Nakashu. Today Nakasu is full of condominiums and I can't imagine that there was such a Kappo cuisine restaurant in Nakasu. And it is Masago-za that must not be forgotten in Nakasu.

"Photos provided by Chuo Ward Kyobashi Library"

The photo above is Masago-za in the Taisho era. The photo below is a stone monument of the site of Masago-za, which remains sorry for the planting part of the apartment.

"Masago-za was built in January 1893 in Nakashu-cho, Nihonbashi-ku, and was named after its name in the drama history from the latter half of the Meiji era to the Taisho era, eventually connecting a free theater and later developing into a Tsukiji Small Theater. Abbreviation

・・・ Since 2014, Nakashu was Masago-za, and Masago-za was synonymous with Chushu."

　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　"From the history of Chuo-ku,"

However, due to the inconvenience of the location, the number of customers was far away, and in 1917 it was closed.

　　

And when you walk to the entrance of the Metropolitan Expressway Hamacho, it used to be the junction of the Hakozaki River and Hamacho River.

In the photo, the right is Mebashi, the front is Kawaguchi Bridge, and the front is Hamacho River ahead.

"Photos provided by Chuo Ward Kyobashi Library"

At present, it is the entrance to Hamacho Ryokudo Park.

Then cross the Tokyo City Air Terminal and head toward Hakozaki. I also found the revetment of the Hakozaki River next to the sidewalk that I have visited hundreds of times so far. I regretted a little that I didn't notice anything when I walked with B.

The photo in the lower left is a photo of Kakigara-cho from Shin-Eikyu Bridge. The photo at the bottom right shows the current photo. The photo on the left is probably in the 1940s. The window frame of the building on the left side of the photo matches the sign of the dental under the window.

"Photo courtesy of Kyobashi, Chuo-ku Library"

And I came to Hakozaki River Daini Park and Hakozaki River Daiichi Park.

This is also the end of this city walk. I can see the sluice gate of the Kamejima River.

Hakozaki River, the revetment traces still remain everywhere. I wondered that Nihonbashinakasu is now coming and going as usual, but it wasn't connected to land until just 46,47 years ago. It was also a good opportunity to reconfirm the history of Nihonbashinakasu.

　　

It's been a hot day since then. Be sure to practice hats and frequent water supply when walking around the city.

 

 

Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
This time, it is a continuation of "Chuo-ku (Part 1) in the history of firefighting".
As I introduced last time, looking for a water outlet in Chuo-ku, go to the Shimbashi Water Exit Museum!



This was opened in 2015 on the 80th anniversary of the founding of Murakami Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
The museum is located on the top floor, and the landing includes a collection of water outlets and paintings by the director.
There is a way to keep visitors from getting tired even at one time.



Immediately after being greeted by the water outlet on the rooftop, I opened the museum door with a pounding.



A very friendly director welcomes you, and there are many water outlets in the hall!
To briefly explain for those who say, "What is a water outlet in the first place?"
A water outlet is a part of the equipment that sends water to the floor when a fire occurs in a building or the like.
It may be better to say that it is a place to connect the hose of the pump car.



However, it doesn't have any buildings.
It is located in a building that is difficult to extinguish with a ladder truck or a fire helicopter, such as a building on the 7th floor or higher or a large underground shopping mall.
It's usually not in private homes or low-rise buildings.
When I asked about the water outlet in Chuo-ku immediately, I showed me the water outlet of the former Bridgestone headquarters building (Kyobashi).

(Left: water sampling port, right: water outlet)

The Bridgestone Museum of Art was located in this building (currently closed due to rebuilding work).
Isn't there some people who have been there?
In addition to the water outlets in English, which are now rare.
It is said that the director was particular about recreating the situation with the water outlet.
The background for the exhibition (different for each water outlet) is also a noteworthy point.

And there is even a face-to-face panel at this water outlet!
This is the only stoppage for Bridgestone's former head office building, even if you search all over the world.
It was a great deal, so I had other visitors take pictures.



This museum seems to hold various events related to water outlets, such as a polishing party and a water outlet night.
If you want to refine your precious water outlets in Chuo-ku, please contact us.
Please check the museum's website and Facebook.



After leaving the museum, I visited the active water outlet in Chuo-ku, which was taught by the director.
I actually went to see it
First of all, Takashimaya Tokyo store is designated as an Important Cultural Property (Building).
Do you see something on the corner?



When I approached, there was a water outlet (manufactured by Murakami Seisakusho) with twin kanji notation!



Next, we headed to the Shiga Bank Tokyo Branch in Kodemmacho.
Discover a rare water outlet installed on a fan-shaped plate
The name of the manufacturer can be seen below the fan shape.
Here, the company name of Murakami Seisakusho, which is related to the water outlet museum, was included.



In addition, I saw a large building with a lot of water outlets, and then I saw it.



Around Kyobashi, I took pictures of various water outlets, including the water outlets written in katakana.
Since the water outlet is used in the event of a fire, it is a slightly unusual town hero who is happy to not use it (do not demonstrate its real territory).
It may be a facility that is hardly visible to us as ordinary people.



However, once you know the history of the water outlet at the museum, the way you view and taste the water outlet changes dramatically.
Indeed, it is "Takaga water outlet, but water outlet"!
Remembering the word "fire and fight are the flower of Edo" and looking at the water outlet while walking around the town.
It may be a white face unique to Chuo-ku

※Regarding the museum, the director has given permission to introduce and publish photos.

 

 

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.

Today is super! I'll give you a quick report.


In fact, today (July 18), the last round of the first parent-child Hawaiian rhythm course (April-September) was held at the Chuo Ward Sports Center in Hamacho.

(Edamame and her daughter Azuki participated in "A Class".

　The final round of "B Class" will be next week.

That's right.

/archive/2017/07/post-4450.html

↑It's a blog article I wrote about a year ago, but since then I've been running out of lotteries and going there all the time.

※The photo was taken by a teacher in June this year brought a handmade "Ray made of fresh flower hydrangea".


But.

Because of the popular course, it has become a "lottery" every time.

Moms who often talk at children's centers, etc., often heard stories saying, "I couldn't do this time ~ (sigh)".

As in the Hamacho area where the sports center is located, the population of the child-raising generation in Chuo-ku continues to increase, so the number of people who want to participate in this lesson inevitably continues to increase.

That's why Edamame & Azuki was probably so lucky that he had been going all the time.

It was such a situation...

At the end of today's lesson, I had a conversation with you.

Recruitment of the "second term" for the next term and September to December will begin today, but from the "second term", in addition to the Wednesday class that had been implemented so far, the number of classes will be added on Tuesday It is decided that

That's right.

For more information, please see the course information page of the General Sports Center.

http://www.chuo-sports.jp/fleely.html

When the popularity is concentrated, this "Hawaiian rhythmic" lesson was nearly twice as large as magnification.

I wonder if there were many people who hesitated to apply in the first place because they might not hit it. I think so.

This simply doubles the capacity limit, so more and more people will be able to participate in the lesson with a considerable probability.

It is a valuable place where parents and children can have fun and have fun, and in the first place, "Hawaiian"

Recently, I realized again that rhythmic is not something that can be experienced anywhere.

(When I went to a hands-on lesson for various lessons with Azuki at the time of the year, I was also asked about my current lessons.

At that time, when I said "Hawaiian rhythmic", "I heard that for the first time! It seems to be fun! "

We hope that many people will participate!


Lessons at the General Sports Center, where classes other than small children are also substantial.

The deadline for recruiting regular classes for the second term (September to December) must arrive on August 16 (Thursday).　

It's a coincidence.

The lessons for adults are full of interesting things, and they are full of interesting things.

(New course "Beautiful posture pelvic exercise" or something I want to go right now)

Above all, it's quite reasonable when you think about going to a gym or the like.

Be sure to check it out.

Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
This year's "Time difference Biz" begins on July 9th (Monday).
I guess some people have shifted to morning work a little more than before.
The company where I work has also introduced a time difference Biz so that time can be used more effectively.
Similarly, if you have transitioned to the morning type, why not start morning activities with this?



This time, we will introduce the morning activities that can be done at Hamacho Park as the third installment of the morning activity series!
Some of you may have heard of Hamacho Park, but I think you may have a pinch.
There is a Chuo Ward Sports Center on the grounds of the park.



There are a variety of facilities, including swimming pools and golf driving ranges.
It is also a nice point that you can use with a convenient fee.
And since it is open from 7 o'clock in the morning, you can exercise lightly before going to work!

I was afraid of heat stroke outdoors and used the training room for the first time in July.
Normally, it starts at 400 yen for 2 hours, but it is a nice service for those who work outside the ward that can be used only in the early morning of weekdays for 200 yen per hour.



You will take the first class before use, so don't worry even beginners in the training room!
There is also a sheet that describes which machine is effective for what.
I am able to do training that suits me without being confused.

Also, don't worry if you arrive at the sports center early.
There are facilities outside the sports center where you can exercise, and you can relax by watching sculptures and wild birds.



In addition, there is Kiyomasa Koji Temple, dedicated to Kato Kiyomasa, enshrined in the park!
This place used to be the Nakayashiki of Mr. Hosokawa, Kumamoto feudal lord, and this temple was founded in 1861 by Kumamoto Honmyoji.



It is said that ordinary people were also allowed to worship during the Edo period.
Wouldn't it be a good idea to visit while imagining the situation at that time?
You can also see the snake's eyes and bellflowers, which are the emblems of Kato Kiyomasa, throughout the temple.



In summer with long sunshine hours, "Early getting up is the virtue of Sanbun"!
Why don't you use the cool morning time for your hobbies and study?
You will be able to go to work refreshingly, and you will be able to work hard.

 

 

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.

It has been two and a half months since we received tomato seedlings at the "Tomato Tree Planting Party" in mid-April.

/archive/2018/05/hama-house.html

In the meantime, on the veranda of the Edamame family...

　

A little yellow flower bloomed and a pale green fruit.

　　

I grew up to be able to harvest some fruits safely.

　
And on July 1st.

In the afternoon of Sunday, when the rainy season ended

"Harvest festival Tomato" was held at Hama House.

http://hamacho.jp/hamahouse/2018/06/01/marchetomato/

It is a luxurious collaboration between Hama House x Kagome x KEYUCA x "Kabukokko".
　

　　

　　　　　

　When we arrive at the venue, Hama House

　There are a lot of tomatoes and ketchup already on the desk!

　Many tomatoes of different types for each dish.

　Actually, this is all "Kagome tomatoes".

　As I mentioned before, the Tokyo head office of Kagome is located.

　The nearest office building, Nihonbashihamacho F Tower.

　He said that he was able to cooperate with this event because he was involved.

　　
　　

　

　

So, at the beginning of the meeting, Kagome introduces the types of tomatoes and compares them.

First of all, here.

　

It is also the same as β-carotene tomato.

These two types are relatively small. And the sugar content is also high.

In particular, β-carotene tomatoes have a very high sugar content and were very delicious!

"β-carotene" is a component that is often found in carrots.

Perhaps because of that, the orange color is also vivid in appearance.
　
Next, ...

　

It's round red and high lycopene tomatoes.

It is a type with less sugar content and acidity than the previous two types.

So, it seems that round red is especially recommended for "heating" such as stewing.
　　

For a basket

You said, "I mayn't see it at supermarkets yet ..."

Edamame is actually in "Tornale" (a commercial complex in Hamacho).

I'm watching fresh tomatoes of Kagome at the supermarket "Peacock"!

After all, it's a local supermarket at the head office.

I would like to try and compare various things at home!

If you are interested in reading this article.

Please take a look at the "Peacock" tomato section.

In addition, there are many other turtle tomatoes ... one more thing.

That's right.

"Tomatoes grown on the roof of the Hama House."

Tomatoes grown on this rooftop since the tree-planting event in April.

Unlike the condominium veranda, it's very sunny.

It grew red, red, sweet and sweet.

(I came to the rooftop after the meeting.)

At the Hama House, you were growing many kinds of things.

I enjoyed eating more and more.

It was impressive that the small tomatoes were very sweet and delicious.

Is the sunshine conditions important? ？ ？

Well, next time I got a present from KEYUCA.

KEYUCA ... It's a fashionable and natural-style miscellaneous goods brand.

The office building of Yasuda Real Estate in front of the Hama House.

We are in the Sky Gate and have you support the event on that edge.

Last time I had a cute flower pot ...

We also had a stylish "preservation container" this time.

This is the dishwasher OK & microwave oven OK & oven OK!

I'm a little happy because there's not much heat-resistant glass that is OK in the oven.

I took the tomatoes I liked by comparing them with me.

And finally, it's included in the title of the meeting.

It's time for "Kumatori Omurice".

This time, it is also a guide by Kabuki writer Ayumi Seki & illustrator Akane Uraitani's "Kabuko" combination.

https://www.facebook.com/kabuko.kabuki/

For a rough story, please refer to the previous article ...

/archive/2018/06/-2hama-house.html

This time, I showed you something like this.

Kumatori is not one, but there is such a difference depending on the role.

And it was that there were quite a lot of personality depending on the actors.


Well, finally. It's omelet rice and Kumatori!

There is no example so that everyone can demonstrate their individuality! That's right.

Let's write with "energy" and " momentum" that everyone thinks.

I was told that I was participating for the second time.

He had a slightly different face than the previous one.

That's what you mean ...

I tried using raw tomatoes for my cheeks and my ears.

(Let's close our eyes on the sense of painting.)

I wanted everyone to see it slowly...

All participants this time are with children.

Moreover, my daughter, Azuki (3 years old) and all were in the same grade!

・・Oh, I can't wait.

We all ate delicious omelet rice.

Mothers of the same grade are each other, so the child-raising talks are also exciting.

I was able to have a good time.

It's a lot of time like this.

It was a time to enjoy Kabuki and tomatoes in various directions.

I'm looking forward to the next opportunity!

★An extra★

After "Harvest festival" ...

I go to Hamacho marche once every three months.

https://www.facebook.com/hamachomarche/

You can also enjoy "tomato scooping" at the Kagome booth.

(For those who shop more than 300 yen)

At the digital drawing corner

The "tomato character" I drew myself

Take it in with a scanner

I try to play on the screen
For some reason it was a day of tomato making.
