Tokyo Art Antique 2017 Tokyo Art & Antiques 2017

[Silver] April 13, 2017 12:00

Tokyo Art Antique 2017 is "Sukiyoro, the City of Art"

This is an event where 85 stores, such as galleries in Nihonbashi, Kyobashi, Ginza, Bonetomono Stores, etc., open and sell products boasted with confidence.

 

This year, the event will be held for two days, Friday, April 14 and 15 (Sat).

 

I look forward to this event every year. Usually, even in shops that are difficult to enter alone, many people come and go freely, so you can enter the store at ease.

At the first store, get a booklet that introduces participating stores. The map is also enclosed.

If you get tired of walking, take a break at cafes and restaurants in Nihonbashi, Kyobashi, and Ginza. Let's enjoy a rich, adult holiday.

 

 

 

Karuta Nihonbashi, a fun and stylish karuta

[Silver] April 13, 2017 09:00

 It was when I tried to walk on the east side of Colled Nihonbashi toward the Taimeiken Kite Museum.

I saw a fun illustration. On the large panel, it is written "Nihonbashi Karuta".

"Karuta", which starts with "Iroha Nihoto", expresses the characteristics of each town in the Nihonbashi district in a smart way.

For example, "i" means "the starting point of the road in any world is Nihonbashi", "ha", but "the first bonito first thing likes and looks good" represents the spirit and spirit of Nihonbashi and Edokko. Hmm.

 "Karuta", which expresses Ningyocho, turns from "Genji Store" to "Genji Store" and is "Kyoto Fukina Yokokushi".

A woman who seems to be wealthy has a comb diagonally side to her hair in a nickname. Oh, it's smart.

Foreigners walking along the street also released the shutter of the camera and made "Hitokoma of Japan" a souvenir.

When walking around Nihonbashi, please enjoy this too.

Oops, the article is always over here, but I thought, "Isn't you doing this wonderful sale somewhere?"

Here, we introduce the process leading up to the creation of "Nihonbashi Karuta" and dealers. 

In the Nihonbashi area, it is sold at Nihonbashi Information Center, located on the basement floor of Coredo Muromachi 1, 03-3242-0010.

I'm going to buy it right away.

I usually get closer to the "Japan Road Mark" in the middle of Nihonbashi.
It is impossible, but on the day of the event, due to traffic closures.
I was able to touch the starting point of Japanese roads.

Nihonbashi is the starting point of Gokaido, where people and things come and go.
Classic cars gathered in Hashigami to celebrate his birthday (April 3).
