　I think there are many people who are suffering from back pain, but the recommended information this time is available in the Nihonbashi area.
　Introducing the "King Clinic" that also has the nickname of "God Hand Grandpa".
　Occasionally, bad rumors of hospitals and information on bushes can be obtained quickly by word of mouth.
　It spreads, but I think a reputable hospital is rather rare.

　"King Clinic" has long been famous and known its name, but it was actually a medical examination.
　When I tried it, it was strange, I had no pain like a lie.
　Wang is Chinese, so Japanese is terrible, but the skill is 4,000 years in China.
　It seems like you get a glimpse of the history of (laughs).
　Because it's not a big clinic and it's popular, it's always a long line.
　You may need to be prepared to wait at least an hour before you visit.

　By the way, if you search with "Kanda God Hand", which seems to be popular on the Internet, you can search for king medical treatment.
　The place was hit. The truth is not clear, but the real brother or cousin of former director Sadaharu Wang.
　There's also a note that I'm a younger brother ... (Although it's probably Gaseneta)
　Of course, I think there is compatibility with the disease and individual differences, but if you have chronic back pain, try it.
　How about watching it?

Around the Nihonbashi River is separated from Edo Castle outer moat, there is a relatively large stone marker on the west side of Minamizume in Ichiishibashi.

It is engraved on the front as "Full Child's Shirube", on the left side of the stone mark is "Tatsuzuru", on the right side is "Shiru", and there is a rectangular hollow at the top of the text.

If there is an inquirer, put a piece of paper on the left hollow with the characteristics of the person. It seems that those who know put paper on the right hollow and exchange information.

The inquirer suddenly reminds me of the legend of Umewaka that remains on the banks of the Sumida River long ago.

Umewaka, who was abandoned by buying people, dies due to illness in the eastern land (Azuma) far away from Kyoto.

The figure of a mother looking for her child after that.

 

People's strong feelings have been expressed in various performing arts and arts, such as Noh, Joruri, and painting subjects.

The madness of searching for those who are separated lives over time.

 

Today, it is an advanced information society where most people have mobile phones and use computers.

Even in such an era, during the earthquake just six months ago, there is no way to check the safety of family members on an unconnected phone call, and the flow of people who continue to walk to their homes. In the dark and cold, there was a figure of people pushing their feet straight.

 

It is said that this stone mark was built by a nearby influential person in the late Edo period because of the partition that if a lost child comes out, it must be protected responsibly in the town.

The reason why the stones and replicas of the "Mayoiko no Shirube" remain in the precincts of Yushima Tenjin and Senso-ji Temple is probably because it was the downtown area of Edo, where many visitors came from various countries.

 

The "Mayoiko's Signpost" contains the earnest desire to search for people.

 

 

Although it was a tough weekend, during the autumn cultural festival season, I went to the school festival of Nihonbashi Jogakukan, the only private junior and senior high school in Chuo-ku, the Jogakukan Festival.

We interviewed Dr. Yukiko Fujii, the principal, (hereinafter referred to as Dr. Fujii, based on Dr. Fujii's story, referring to the materials we received).

Q: What is the history of Nihonbashi Jogakukan?
A: In 1905, Nihonbashi Women's School was established by the Nihonbashi Ward Education Association at the time. The well-known long-established store involved in the establishment has since supported school management as a member of the board.

Q: What did your early school look like?
A: There are many young women from local long-established merchants, and they went to school by rickshaw, and at lunchtime, used people came from home to deliver lunch boxes. The gorgeous appearance of female students wearing silk kimonos at the time of leaving school was once mentioned in a popular radio program at the time, saying, "3:00 pm, flowers bloom in Asakusabashi."

Q: What is the current number of students? Is there a lot of local students?
A: There are about 400 people in total. At the beginning of the establishment, there were many local students, but now the number of students from nearby Edogawa-ku and Katsushika-ku is increasing.

Q: Do you have a unique curriculum?
A: There are three courses in high school: a difficult university entrance course, an entrance course, and an art entrance course (drama, art / design, music). In addition to class hours, students can work on individual studies through tutor systems and night studies, and at the same time learn specialized knowledge from an early stage in the art study course, and at the same time prepare for admission to arts universities and undergraduates while receiving direct guidance from experts who are active in each field.

Q: How about extracurricular activities?
A: He is active in both cultural and athletic fields, such as the figure skating club to which Haruka Imai, a silver medal at the Asian Games, the baton club for the silver prize at the national tournament, and the brass band who won the gold prize at the Tokyo Metropolitan Competition.

Q: Do you have any initiatives that take advantage of the local nature of Nihonbashi?
A: We carry out career education called Nihonbashi studies. With the cooperation of participating companies and organizations, junior high school students can interact with society by creating a Nihonbashi map, interviewing professionals, participating in company product development, and making proposals to the mayor of Chuo. I will be able to think about my career firmly when I become a high school student.

We talked about various other educational programs and student life, but unfortunately we cannot introduce everything. For more information, please visit the website of Nihonbashi Jogakukan.
＊The section called "This week's Issues" by teachers in each subject on the website is also fun and recommended.

Thank you very much to Mr. Fujii for sharing various stories despite the busy time of the first morning of the Jogakukan Festival.

After that, we visited the exhibition in the school.

Theatre was being performed in the multi-purpose hall. It's a pity that I can't show a hall with fine facilities that I can't imagine as a school with photos. 

 

The Chuo-ku Tourism Association also participated in the exhibition and challenged the mini-Chuo-ku sightseeing test.

When I visited the room of the alumni association "Sakurayukai", I was able to hear from Mr. Higuchi, the chairman of the alumni association, and Mr. Miyata, the vice chairman. The two female school days are just in war. I heard a valuable situation at the time when I worked hard while escaping to an air raid shelter.

  　Mr. Higuchi (left) and Mr. Miyata (right)

The name Sakura Yukai was named in 2005, the 100th anniversary of its founding, and "Sakura" represents the cherry blossoms of the Sumida River and "Yu" represents the eternal Yu.
Every year, there is an opportunity for alumni to gather. It's really wonderful to have a alma mater that can return for decades after graduation.

 

 

Many works of Sakura Yukai were also exhibited (left)

The 90th anniversary (blue), the 100th anniversary (red) commemorative magazine (right). It was very interesting to me who was not a graduate, such as the essays of former female students, tanka poetry, and round-table talks about memories of those days, and I ended up reading it after returning home.

It seems that there are graduates of the second and third generations of mothers and daughters at Nihonbashi Jogakukan. In Chuo-ku, which has a long history, schools are also long-established.

It seems that school briefings and hands-on sessions are scheduled in October. . Please visit the website for details.

French patissier called "The Master of Sweets World" and "Picaso of Sweets World" Mr. Pierre Elme

In "Pierre Elme Paris Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi" of Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi B1.

We sell glass desserts called "Emotion Dekvelt = Discovery / Expedition" for a limited time from 9/7 to 9/20.

 From the bottom: honey-flavored clambrulele, peach kiwi strawberry, hibiscus tea jelly, and sugar crystalase on top.

The recommended way to eat is to "divide the above crystalase, put the spoon to the bottom, and all layers at once ..."

　　　　　

hibiscus and honey are your favorite combination when you have flavor tea!

The sugar lid was crispy and it was very delicious.

 

 

Also, I was very worried about the ice creams I saw at the store of "Pierre Elme Paris Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi".

  (I thought it could only be purchased for delivery.)

It seems that you can take it out from one (I'm happy~)!

You can take it home, or you can immediately take it on a department store (if you are allowed to bring it in ...) Of course, please add spoon and cold pack. 

Ice cream is sold all year round, and sometimes new flavors appear.

It's a hidden famous restaurant that you can't keep an eye on for ice cream lovers!

 

 

   Murata Glassespo came to Edo in 1615 in the year of Osaka Summer Camp (1615).

Before coming to Edo, he was a mirror master who worked for the Imperial Palace in Kyoto.

Even after coming to Edo, I was able to use it as a mirror for the shoguns, but after paying the mirror when the princess of the Imperial Palace, I finally closed the mirror and worked on glasses in earnest.

It was from the Meiji era that glasses were made in earnest in Japan, and the eleventh generation Chobei learned eyeglasses techniques.　　In 1872, we opened an eyeglass specialty store in Nihonbashi Muromachi.

 　　　　　　　

 Ito Hirobumi Soseki Natsume Toson Shimazaki was also a guest.

You are also in favor of the Imperial Family.

Even now, when the number of shops where you can rely on tailor-made glasses has decreased, Murata Glass Store has craftsmen and responds to your needs in addition to ready-made products.

 The photo above shows glasses from the Edo period.　He made a small hole next to it and hung it on his ears through a string.

　　　　Western glasses and magnifying glass of the 1800s.　　　　　　

 It's a Western iron glasses from the 1800s.

　　　 It's a luxurious binocular.

　　　　　

It's a luxurious beads eyeglass case.

I think that the glasses look good and fit your body refreshingly.

It may be a little luxurious, but it would be fun if you could order eyeglasses that fit your body, order your own eyeglass case, and use them for a long time ...

In the show window, ancient documents that seem to convey the advertising of glasses are also displayed.

On September 3, the 30th Chuo-ku Tourism Ambassador Miss Chuo Selection Meeting was held at Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi.

 There were a variety of faces, including beautiful young women on the stage, international students from foreign countries, former cabin attendants, and former Takarazuka male role.　(The resolution of the group photo was reduced to respect portrait rights.)

 

The self-appeal of each contestant was excellent without being able to move to sharp questions with the judges.　

And during the selection, Mr. U's mini-concert. I was fascinated by the sweet singing voice.

And Miss Chuo, the 30th sightseeing ambassador of Chuo-ku, who won the brilliant victory, was announced.

I'm sorry just by my profile.　For more information, please visit our blog at a later date.

 

Thank you very much for your 29th sightseeing ambassador, Miss Chuo.　It was a really fun day.
