Pilots are the manufacturer of writing instruments that you all know.

This headquarters is located in Kyobashi, Chuo-ku.

 

 

 

There is a cafe and a museum there, so I enjoyed it at once (*^^*)

 

First of all, there is a cafe on the first floor, so be prepared there.

In the menu called High Tea, it can be used as a High Tea Stand.

Mixed sandwiches, scones, etc. are listed and 700 yen with a drink.

And it's very reasonable♪

 

 

 

And the inside of the store is strangely calm.

It is easy for one woman to enter (*^^*)

 

After that, go to the pen station on the second floor.

 

There is a large maki-e fountain pen on display.

You can also see the evolution of writing instruments on the panel in chronological order.

 

 

 

Speaking of which, when I was in elementary school, I had only pencils when I was 1.2 years old.

The appearance of the mechanical pencil was revolutionary and impressed.♪

When I was a junior high school student, a mossy ink pen that could write letters on a transparent underlay became popular.

Now, both public and private use gel ink ballpoint pens.

With that in mind, there is a considerable change in my history.★

 

Both the cafe and the museum can be very popular, so be sure to get it (* ^^ *).

Nara Mahoroba-kan, an antenna shop in Nara Prefecture, is across Chuo-dori and opposite the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi New Building. In Chuo-ku, there are many antenna shops in each prefecture, but in terms of the number of events and lectures, isn't this Nara Mahoroba building top class?

Currently, on the second floor, a photo exhibition "The folklore of Yamato caught by me" is being held. This is a competition exhibition by 10 photographers. This is a photo exhibition where the lifestyles of the people of Yamato are cut out through festivals, events and prayers, and for some reason you feel nostalgic. The period is until June 1.

In addition, in cooperation with this photo exhibition, a lecture entitled "Yamato Festival and Prayer" was held on May 24, and I went to listen. . The lecture is Hiroko Yokoyama, Chief Curator of the Nara Prefectural Folk Museum. Mr. Yokoyama's one-and-a-half hour lecture was very interesting and enjoyable, with the story of the people living in Yamato and the annual events firmly rooted in the rhythm of living.

■I'm worried about the height of the surrounding buildings, but it's certain that the cityscape will be renewed in the last few years. If you have a place to remember, we recommend that you visit the site under construction.

 

 

 

On Sunday, May 25 this weekend, "Nihonbashi Kushi City" will be held on Ebisu Street in Nihonbashiodenmacho.

 

"Kusa City" is the predecessor of "Bettara City", which has been in Nihonbashiodenmacho since the early Edo period, and this time it is the first block market to block the street of Otemmacho.

On the day, there are 40 stores such as long-established stores and modern cafes founded in the Edo period, but I think it's a chance to check them all at once because there are only shops I care about.

By the way, I taught this event at Yoga Studio Lotus Eight, which I usually take care of in postpartum yoga.

This is also a booth, and it seems that there are also hand massages, lectures on how to relieve stiff shoulders, and discounts on yoga-related books.

I tend to be fluttered on my shoulders when I usually hold my child, but I recommend this yoga because I am healed both physically and mentally.

 

What I personally care about is the egg-yaki of the long-established "Uoju", the brush of the well-established "Edoya", the lunch box of "Cafe Beni", the mousse of the chicken white lever of "Le Fullshet", the "Nihonbashi Daddy Association" and the "Kendama Tournament"...I can't write it.

I am also interested in the art atmosphere, such as events of works using textile street products and booths for photographers.

 

I think the people of the Edo period were very busy in the city and surely enjoyed it.

Over time, I'm excited to see various discoveries in Heisei no Kunishi City.

 

Choledo Muromachi is also exciting, but why not go to Otemmacho this weekend?

This time, I went jogging in search of the Nihonbashi River, an important river in Chuo-ku, and the headwater of the Kanda River.

Actually, it has been long since I left Chuo-ku, so I will report it compactly.

 

The start is Toyomi Bridge, where the Nihonbashi River collides with the Sumida River. It is a unique bridge that looks like a ladder is turned sideways.

It has the same thickness as the powerful Eitai Bridge nearby.

 

From there, there is no road along the river, so I decided to go along the road running parallel to the river as much as possible.

 

We will proceed with Minato Bridge, Kayaba Bridge, Armor Bridge, Edobashi, Nihonbashi ...

The former Joban Bridge was under construction. Chuo-ku is over at Shin Tokiwa Bridge.

The river so far is mostly under the highway, so it is an image of an urban river. (The photo shows the former Joban Bridge under construction)

Even in Chiyoda-ku, we will continue to be covered by expressways. I collide with the Kanda River at the Suidobashi. From there, it is the Kanda River. I'm going on with Iidabashi, Edogawabashi, Waseda, and Takadanobaba. The river goes as a city river with a hardened revetment. The promenade along the river is gradually getting ready. The river meanders and comes close to the skyscrapers in Shinjuku. This area is Nakano-ku.

 

When you go to Suginami-ku, the expression or atmosphere gradually changes. First of all, the greenery along the river increases. Fish and birds are also often seen. As you proceed along the Inokashira Line, you will see the goal. I feel tranquility. Yes, the goal is Inokashirakoen. There were lots of people on a sunny weekend.

(Photo: Inokashirakoen)

I realized on my own feet that the water in the pond of Inokashirakoen spilled out and that part of the water came to Nihonbashi. It was about 25 km away.

Because it was a hot day, I gave up on the return trip and decided to return on a public vehicle from here. After sweating at the public bath in Kichijoji and refreshing, it became a comfortable house.

 

 

"Good morning, sir,"
"Oh, bear-san, did you go somewhere to GW?"
"Yes, I've been caught by a oyster and have been staying at Fuji Five Lakes for one night by car."
"Well, it was good weather and the children would have been pleased." "I said by car, but wasn't it crowded along the way?"
"Yes, it was a bit congested at the Metropolitan Expressway, but I was able to run relatively smoothly. By the way, I found a little unfamiliar sign thanks to the traffic jam, and from the oysters, "What is that?" I was asked....」

　

"It was just above Nihonbashi heading for Shinjuku, and there was a" Nihonbashi Road Signpost ", so what do you know that? There is Nihonbashi right below, Nihonbashi is a Japanese loot, and it is a sign that Japan's roads have started from Nihonbashi since the Edo period! Even now, the word "Japan Road Mark" is embedded in the middle of Nihonbashi! "
When I said, "Dad, I know that in the social studies class, what I want to know is the" ah1 "sign written below!" It says Asian Highway, but ...?"...I'd like to ask you for your retirement....」

"Well, Kenbo was a big deal to notice that sign, yes, that AH1 is an abbreviation of Asian Highway Asia Highway No. 1, that is, the Asia Highway also starts in Nihonbashi."

The AH1 Asia Highway Route 1 is a long road over 20,000 km, starting from Nihonbashi in Japan (Tokyo) to Turkey via Korea, North Korea, China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand, Myanmar, Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Afghanistan, Iran, etc.
"Japan is also known as the modern Silk Road that goes through the highway to Fukuoka, then by ferry to Busan, South Korea, and then passes through Eurasian Continent to Europe. However, North Korea cannot pass now, there are areas where it is difficult to pass in combat areas such as Afghanistan, and there are many areas where it can be said to be rivers when it rains unpaved, and there are many areas where it can be said that can be called highways that can't pass through highways that can't pass through such as highways that can't pass through the entire Asian roads that can't be passed on highways.

"Oh, I'd like to fly AH1 from Nihonbashi to Western Europe! But if it's 20,000 kilometers, it will take a month to Western Europe....」

"Yeah, I heard that the big husband of the dye shop 'Toraya' would never cross Nihonbashi?"
"Yeah, that person is also a stubborn, since the highway was built on Nihonbashi, "I don't care like a child straddling over the head of a parent whose car passes over my head!" says, "I don't want to cross Nihonbashi for a long time since the highway was built on Nihonbashi."
"No, I can understand that feeling, if I go over Ginza Street on the highway, I want to do a silver bra and it is thin!"
"By the way, why is the highway running right above Nihonbashi? You didn't have to go to such a place?"
Tokyo, which was destroyed by the war, gradually recovered, and the number of cars increased rapidly in Tokyo since the late 1950s, and the government decided to build an expressway in Tokyo in preparation for the Tokyo Olympics in 1964. However, in the city center, the river and the moat were constructed in the capital highways by reclaiming the roads and moats that were relatively easy to construct.
"Oh, when I was a kid, the Sumida River was dirty and smelly!"

　
"By the way, in the Edo period, you carried luggage by boat on rivers and moats instead of cars, right?　If so, expressways take over old people's means of transportation in the present era! "
"Yes, in the town of Edo, moats and rivers ran vertically and horizontally, and a chokibune carrying boats and people came and went, and it was like Venice!　　In Tokyo during the high-growth period, even if rivers and moats were reclaimed, there were few oppositions because they were reclaimed, and it was an era when environmental rights such as landscape and sunshine rights were not often said! "

"Yes, if you said that you would pass a road over Nihonbashi right now, the scenery of protecting cultural properties will be bad, but a fierce opposition movement will occur and you will not be able to make a road!"
"But it's called the retirement, major earthquake directly below the capital, and the Metropolitan Expressway needs to be rebuilt 50 years after construction, right? How about returning to a moat or river as in the past, if you take it away all and move it underground? "
"Yes, underground is resistant to earthquakes, and construction costs may be incurred, but since the 'deep depth method' was established, compensation is not required in principle, so it may be realized unexpectedly early."
"If you do so, the great husband of the Tiger family may be able to cross Nihonbashi where you can see a heavenly path without a ceiling!　I hope it will be realized while my husband is alive!"
"Yes, then Chuo-ku may be able to register with World Heritage as a town that preserves Edo culture!"
