A festival

[Old Rose] Nov. 24, 2015 18:00

 November 14 at Nihonbashi Yamamoto-noriten as a “seasoning party to enjoy seaweed”

Dr. Atsuko Furukawa of the regional cuisine Study Group in Chiba Prefecture

I had the opportunity to make "Festival Rizushi" in front of me.

 

At first, a quiz about glue,

Next was the teacher's demonstration.

 

It's a decorative sushi roll that I wanted to make at least once.

That's right, with the teacher's stupid handling,

And others were sighing.

 

I could experience the first petal roll.

I felt like I got a little trick.

 

The classroom is wrapped in sushi rice and the smell of seaweed with a good scent.

In a limited amount of time, I was able to ask questions to the teacher even after finishing.

 

Lastly, I would like you to introduce the history of Yamamoto-noriten.

It is also adorned with Yoko Yamamoto's Guinness certificate.

I was able to learn about this event.

Please join us next time.

 

 

Fukutoku Shrine "Mebuki Shrine"

[Minori] Nov. 20, 2015 18:00

Hello, Minori. 

This is the story of Fukutoku Shrine "Mebuki Shrine".

 

Fukutoku Shrine is located near Choredo Muromachi.

Fukutoku Shrine seems to have already been enshrined in the early Heian period, during the Jogan period of the Emperor Seiwa period (859-876).

It was enshrined as Inari Shrine in Fukutoku Village, which was a village of Musashino, and took the place name to Fukutoku Shrine.

The first Shogun Ieyasu Tokugawa visited our company for the first time in August 1590 (1590), when he entered Edo.

Since then, I have been visiting several times.

In addition, the second shogun Hidetada Tokugawa visited the shrine on New Year's Day 8, 1614 (1614).

He praised, "Fukutoku is a truly happy god."

At this time, I saw the spring buds sprouting at the skinned torii gate of Kuroki (sawtooth oak), an ancient example of Fukutoku Shrine.

The shrine is also known as "Mebuki Inari."

In February 1619 (1619), when he enshrined Benzai of Edo Castle, the Shogun himself delivered divine spirit.

He dedicated the banner of Yamato Nishiki, and stipulated that "shrines and temples Nawari is more than 333 tsubo."

It was popular because the lottery was officially recognized by the Shogunate as "Gomen wealth" in the Edo period.

Even now, many people come to visit this shrine if there is a lottery benefit.

 

The festival is the first noon in February and the annual festival in May.

In the fall of 2014 (2014), shrine hall was revived thanks to the efforts of local people in Nihonbashi.

 

There is Fukutoku Shrine on the north side of Cored Muromachi. There's shrine office in the foreground.

Chozuya, which cleans hands before worship, has a sensor that allows water to flow when people approach.

This exhibition is certified by the director of the movie director Mark Ozbone, and displays more than 100 items, such as puppet dolls used in actual shooting and clay dolls that became the prototype of the character image.

There is also a sales corner for making videos and limited goods that contain the production site, so that not only those who watched the movie but also original fans can enjoy it.

In the interview video of the creator who was playing at the venue, I was impressed that the comment "I wanted to create a very realistic picture book world" was exactly the work that was realized.

The fusion of stop motion animation and CG is wonderful.

 The renovation of the Meijiya Kyobashi Building has been completed following the redevelopment of the Kyobashi 2-chome west area.

Following the opening of the office floor on August 31, the Meijiya Kyobashi store was newly opened on September 16.

Completed in 1933 (designed by Sone Nakajo Architects) renovated after preserving the elegant appearance of the Italian Renaissance style at the time.

In addition to the classic plant decoration called Acanthus, the beautiful details decoration is alive.

At night, it is equipped with a colorful light-up function with LED lighting, and it is a new outfit.

The completion of the entire redevelopment of the Kyobashi 2-chome West Area is scheduled for fall 2016.

On the other hand, the Yonai Building (Ginza 2) was completed in 1930. (Design: Matsunosuke Moriyama)

It is a Romanesque-style design in the Middle Ages, and the arch windows with spiral pillars are impressive.

It gives a light accent to the solid stone wall. (Historic buildings, Tokyo)

On the 1F and B1F, in April 2015, the Henri Charpantier Ginza store, which was inspired by Osman-style Partman in Paris, was renovated and reopened as "Ginza Maison Henri Charpantier".

The concept is "Wonderland of dreams separated from everyday life."

In addition to the "Boutique" at the back of the 1st floor and the "Salon de Te" on the B1st floor, there is also a "barmaison" where you can enjoy desale with alcohol.

The glittering illuminations of the brand shop on the main street are also splendid, but the new outfit of the retro building is also delicious and worth seeing.
