Mr. Teruhisa Kitahara is a leading toy collector known.

Selected cholek from Kitahara's "Yokohama Tin Toy Museum"

It is said that this is the first time.

I miss it just by looking at the toys I played when I was a child

It's strange because I feel like I met an old friend.

Director John Laceter, who worked on the movie "Toystoley", is the main character of Mr. Kitahara.

When I saw the collection, I was thrilled that "the toys here seem to be alive."

It is also said that he made "Toystery".

There was a "Tokiwa-so postcard curtain" in the exhibition.

The manga artists who formed the New Manga Party in 1956, Hiroo Terada, Fujio Akatsuka, etc.

Shotaro Ishinomori, Shinichi Suzuki, Shunji Sonoyama, Jiro Tsunoda, Fujiko Fujio A,

The teachers of Fujiko, F. Fujio wrote the curtain they used at that time.

It is a treasure of "the national treasure of the manga world".  

 

At the talk show by Mr. Kitahara on the first day, he said, "The next generation by collecting them."

I think it's my mission to convey culture to me. "

　AIAC is a joint class program for architectural design exercises in collaboration with international universities.

This year's theme is "Creating a Sustainable Living and Architecture in Nihonbashi Muromachi", and eight universities from five countries, Italy, France, China, Korea, and Japan, participated in the announcement at the UNESCO Headquarters in Paris in September.

 

 

　For four days from April 11 to 14, approximately 100 students from Japan and overseas held a workshop at Nihonbashi Muromachi 1-chome, which was the target site.

 

　In addition to the basic survey that had been conducted before coming to Japan, we also conducted field surveys and interviews with local people in Muromachi, and on April 15, a symposium was held at Nihonbashi Mitsui Hall, where local people also participated.

 

　

　Prior to lectures by professors from four universities, including Keio University, the host school this year, students presented the results of each university, and lively discussions were held at the venue.

　After having deepened their understanding of the historical nature of Nihonbashi through preliminary research, each university actually visited the site and was different from the Japanese, including the way bridges, rivers, and highways? It was impressive that the view was also shown.

 

　In the future, students will return to each university, proceed with the examination and design work, and make presentations in Paris in September, and will be awarded excellent works. An exhibition of his works is scheduled to be held at Keio University in January next year, and a new appearance of Nihonbashi Muromachi drawn by students studying architecture around the world will be shown.

 

 

　This year, the gallery in the Kyobashi and Nihonbashi districts will be held for three days from Friday, April 26 to 28 (Sun).

Last year it was like this and it was very fun.

　This year, I'm looking forward to walking happily and eating at famous shops in Kyobashi and Nihonbashi where my stomach is decreasing.　

There is also a "Tokyo Square Garden" shop in Kyobashi, so please enjoy walking around the city and visiting the gallery.

 

 

The other day, I went on a tour of Fuji Five Lakes.

Mount Fuji existed in a stunning balance over the lake surface of Lake Motosuko against the clear and clear sky.

Combined with the cherry blossoms that bloomed in a nearby park, it is a design on the back of the 1,000 yen bill that you will see every time something happens.

I feel like I've got it.

 

While having such an uplift, I went to the "Monet Museum" with a bank ticket connection.

The place is 1-3-1 Nihonbashi Honishicho, Chuo-ku.

The head office of the Bank of Japan is now at the heart of Japan's economic activity. The museum is located in front of it.

It is well known that the main building of the Bank of Japan, designed by Dr. Kingo Tatsuno, was built on the site of Koza in Edo.

Every time I passed through Edo Sakura-dori St. in front of the museum, I wanted to enter, but I just missed the opportunity.

 

The security seemed to be severe, the admission procedure seemed to be troublesome, and when I thought so, I passed by despite the free admission fee.

However, when I actually entered the museum, I was absorbed in the fun of the exhibition.

 

When you look at the money, it's strange that the tension rises.

"Gold, gold, my money," the scene in which villains scatter banknotes and drown into the sea of money can be set in common in any era.

Just looking at it, you can see that the villain's feelings move and the adrenaline erupts.

 

"Echigo-ya, the dog is also evil."

"No, it's as much as a deputy."

"Uh, Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

From the confectionery folded between the two, the oval glows in the black color.

From the museum's exhibits, such scenes can also be floated.

 

It's a very serious exhibition, but the imagination of the viewer wins too much and runs in the opposite direction.

The technology to prevent counterfeiting of banknotes is something that can be used as a conversation story even tonight.

Speaking of which, I've never observed so much money.

 

It is easy to understand, as historical figures explain the process of their policies from the perspective of money, with new awareness.

How did the warlords effectively collect and utilize gold, silver, and money in order to protect their territory and expand their power?

In conjunction with mining development technology, you can see that it was the cornerstone of the strategy.

The godly behavior of warlords could have been carried out for the first time, backed by solid economic power.

 

Nevertheless, when we go through the flow of history from the exhibits, we notice that a large amount of gold and silver have flowed out of Japan at key points.

Considering the enormous production of gold and silver in Japan, which was possible, I was able to once again know the brilliance that was called the "golden country" Zipang.

 

At the gift corner of the Currency Museum, I purchased a face towel of Yukichi Fukuzawa's Bank of Japan.

(I buy it at a vending machine.)

Let's use up this 10,000 yen ticket every morning when you wash your face.

 

 

 

2nd year of correspondent. I'm going to post it soon.

There is something that I've been wondering for a long time as the row of cherry trees continues.

If you walk toward Showa-dori with Shin-ohashi-dori St. behind, you will find Takashimaya ahead of it.

　

It's a pump in front of the building. No explanation, just "I can't drink this water."

There's only a bill on it. But water doesn't come out of the pump.

It's a strange sight. If you have any questions, please let me know.

This year, I would like to send out the charm of Chuo-ku with the theme of unexpected sights.

 

 

The cherry blossoms in Tokyo are about to end. Almost two weeks after the "Flowing Declaration", I feel a little lonely at the end of this year's "Sakurazuke", which was worried about the sky every day, such as "Hanami" and "Rain of Flowering". I was invited by such a remnant flower to Nihonbashi. I've seen the annual "Spring House Exhibition" at Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi and the "Mitsui Family Hina-sama" at the Mitsui Memorial Museum next door.

This year's institute exhibition has 848 entries, 299 entries, and 331 entries, 32 doujin works, are still overwhelming with a tremendous amount.

You can also see the work of Toshio Matsuo, who also produced the original drawings of the curtain of the newly opened Kabukiza Theater, "Dake Yuku" (Sarth Church in Venice), and Yuji Tezuka's "Hana Night" (Ueno Night Cherry Blossom) There are many masterpieces such as "Spring Tower Ei" by Mr. Juno Goto. Dr. Goto commented, "I'm 83 years old. As I get older, my desire to draw cherry blossoms seems to be increasing. 。 However, I just want to draw it."

The neighboring "Mitsui Family's Hina-sama" is also an annual event at this time, offering luxurious Hina doll and doll tools that the wife and daughters of the Mitsui family cherished, and among them, the luxurious Hina-tiered decorations with a width of 3M and a height of 5 steps specially produced by the Maruhira Oki Doll Store in Kyoto are worth a look.

You can also see the difference between "Kyoho chicks", "Uchi-back chicks", and "Job chicks".

March was a month that reminds us of the appreciation that the “annual” has been implemented as usual this year.

The exhibition will be held until April 7 for the "Mitsui Family Hina" and April 8 for the "Spring House Exhibition".
