IMG_20180814_133105a.jpg

"Healing", "wa", "quaint" ...

Rouen (LEUN), a select miscellaneous goods shop, is a lifestyle shop that proposes a "Japanese" taste in everyday life.

Mr Rouen's headquarters is located in Gifu.

We have opened 3 stores in Osaka, but this time we opened our first store in Kanto.

On April 18 this year, we opened a shop in the Yaesu Underground Shopping Center.

By the way, Mr. Rouen is particularly rich in cat goods.

If you enter the store, you will surely be overwhelmed by a swarm of adorable cat goods.

I would like to introduce a number of items.

  

We talked to the staff of Rouen Tokyo Station Yaesu Underground Shopping Center and the shop in detail.

Then...

IMG_20180814_130221_1a.jpg

Beard manju 18,000 yen

A large stuffed animal of 30cm. I'm Rouen's idol, but I'm currently recruiting foster parents.

At the back left of the shop, it has a "glimpse" with an outstanding presence, but rather a face that seems to be superior in cuteness. Thank you very much for your attention.

IMG_20180814_131349a.jpg

A stuffed animal corner

It's in the center of the shop. Cats are the main ones. It's very soothing.

IMG_20180814_132437a.jpg

Cat figurine corner

From 350 yen to 15,000 yen. The advantage is that small things can be enjoyed without taking a place.

IMG_20180814_132340a.jpg

Japanese accessories corner

There are pouches, eyeglass cases, tissue containers, clasps, tote bags, etc., but accessories such as flowers and Orizuru pierced earrings are also very cute. We also have a hairpin.

IMG_20180814_132408a.jpg

The attention is kneaded perfume in the center. From the left, 500 yen, 800 yen, and 500 yen

It seems that this perfume is selling very much this summer.

IMG_20180814_132610a.jpg IMG_20180814_131250a.jpg

Japanese hand towel corner (left)

There are a variety of patterns.

Of course, there is also a hand towel with a cat pattern. (Right) 4 types, 700 yen each

However, it is not mainly cats, but in summer, "fireworks" and seasonal patterns are mainly placed.

IMG_20180814_132309a.jpg

Summer items corner

Goods that are indispensable for going out to the summer festival are lined up.

・・'-Introduction of products, this time it's so far. I will do it next time and one after another. Next time, I will introduce more cute cat goods.

Okemachi Chiba's Story

[Koedo Itabashi] August 18, 2018 12:00

A beginner in kendo told me his motivation for joining.

"late Tokugawa shogunate, the priests of each clan understood each other by using swords to communicate with each other. I also wanted to experience what it was like."

Oh, it's amazing.

I simply felt the difference from myself who started Kendo in anticipation of historical drama.

 

During the Edo period, the clan ruled its own, and the culture nurtured was different.

The fact that people who grew up in different cultures used swordsmanship as a means of knowing others was a natural consequence under the samurai government.

It is a testament to the fact that many dojos were run in Edo and flourished in the days when late Tokugawa shogunate was nervous.

 

2-8, Yaesu.

A signboard for "Sadakichi Chiba Dojo Ruins" is erected in front of Tokyo Square Garden, facing Kajibashi Street.

"Hokushinichi Toryu" was founded by Shusaku Chiba.

With reasonable teaching methods, there are more than 6,000 gatekeepers, and it is a school that played the foundation of modern kendo.

Sadakichi Chiba was the younger brother of Shusaku, and had a dojo around Okemachi.

When Sakamoto Ryoma of the Tosa clan came to Edo for training swordsmanship, he entered Okemachi Chiba and Sadakichi Chiba Dojo.

It seems that the guidance of Ryoma was Jutaro, 12 years older, who was mainly the eldest son of Sadakichi and was assigned a dojo.

Later, Ryoma became the head of the school in Okemachi Chiba.

 

The Tosa clan's upper residence was located at the Tokyo International Forum, and Nakayashiki was located at the Chuo-ku government office.

Ryoma's residence is thought to be the tenement house of the Nakayashiki of the Tosa clan, so he probably used to pass from modern Shintomi-cho to Kyobashi with bamboo swords and armor.

My wife tends to assume that drama actors are real.

According to these stories, Masaharu Fukuyama of Taiga drama series's Ryomaden was walking around Kyobashi in kendo clothes.

In the near future, Ryoma Fukuyama may change to Ryoma Oguri.

 

Mr. Ryoma seems to have been very popular.

A man wants to listen to how he was motivated when he gained momentum, but Ryoma's letter also has such a description.

Sana, the daughter of Sadakichi Chiba, was known as "Chiba's Onikomachi", a biography of license, and a talented person.

And it is said that he was a fiancee of Ryoma.

The people who moved the times had the power to attract many people and create a chain.

 

The burial ground of Sadakichi Chiba and Shigetaro Chiba is located in Zoshigaya Cemetery in Toshima-ku.
