Did you know that luxury cruise ships and ships from Japan and abroad are berthed at Harumi Wharf in Harumi, Chuo-ku? It is said that this "Harumi Wharf" is used when an overseas sailing ship pays a courtesy call to Japan, or when the Antarctic observation ship "Shirase" departs or returns to the port.

When I went for a walk at Harumi Wharf on May 20, a luxury cruise ship was parked.
According to the seafarer, this ship leaves Kobe Port, goes around Japan around the left, stops at ports at key points, and as a major event, the `` Annular solar eclipse '' on May 21 It was to see from off the Pacific Ocean.

 
Here at Harumi Wharf, besides watching these when luxury cruise ships and ships are anchored, you can also go up to the Harumi Passenger Terminal Observation Deck or have a barbecue at Harumi Wharf Park. In addition, events such as the Tokyo Bay Fireworks Festival will be held at the Tokyo Minato matsuri and Harumi Wharf Park off the coast of Harumi Wharf.

Harumi Wharf Park has a fountain and observation deck, and in the center of the park there is a monument to the New York New Jersey Garden, where trees were planted to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the sister port partnership between Tokyo Port and New Jersey Port in New York (↓).

After the middle of May, the number of days of sweating increased. It's also a time to get lost in what to wear, "Is it okay to wear a single coat today?" It's almost time to change clothes. I found a stain in order to clear the line. I usually ask a kimono shop, but this time I decided to visit the "Everyoneya" I found during the walk. I'm going to have a little bit.

At present, June 1 and October 1 are generally designated as "clothing change", but it was originally a custom that began with the Imperial Palace event called "changing" in the Heian period. At that time, the days of April and October were changed from winter costumes to summer costumes (the opposite in October) as the day of changing clothes. This event was limited to the palace, but in the Edo period, the spread of cotton diversified due to the spread of cotton, and the Shogunate set a day for changing clothes four times a year for samurai, and this custom later penetrated among the common people It is said that spring and autumn are lined up, summer mailers, and winter cotton (from "Japanese calendar and annual events").

The word "Shikkai" (Shikkai) gives the impression of "Shikkai Seibutsu" from the character side, but "Everyoneya" is, as the name implies, "Shikkai" (everything) related to kimono (staining, washing, dyeing, etc.). It is listed in the late Edo period folk magazine "Keihan's style in Edo" in "Keiden's style".

"Ogiya" I visited this time is a long-established store that was founded in Yotsuya in 1898 and moved to Tsukuda in 1936 and has been operating for more than 100 years. Staining, washing, dyeing, re tailoring, and anything related to kimono is OK. The price list is also posted on the website, and you can ask for an estimate by e-mail, so it is safe for the first time. A "staining classroom" is also held, and it seems that simple staining can be done at home.

If the size or color of the kimono or obi you receive is "a little", why not consult us? I'm looking forward to reviving the "Kimono" sleeping in the chest.

I went to Tokyo Minato matsuri in the afternoon. I walked round trip from home to Harumi to solve my daily lack of exercise. It was a nice day to walk. In front of the venue, police white motorcycles and police cars were training. It was very cool.

By the way, the weather at the Minato Festival was bad and the wind was a bit strong, so the one who performed seemed very hard.

There were many children, and it seemed to be fun on fire trucks and unusual ships. It will be held tomorrow, so please go out.

　Today, when I went near Harumi Wharf, a fire boat was releasing clean water.

　There were many fire departments, and when I thought what kind of event would be, I was rehearsaling for the "Water Fire Fighting Pageant" to be held on May 13 (Sun).

　I've seen it for a while, but I heard the explosion, the helicopter flew, and I was overwhelmed by the power that I couldn't think of a rehearsal.

　This is worth a look!

　On the day, the performance of fire and rescue of ships, the march of fire boats and fire helicopters (navigation?) In addition, the children of the Fire Boy Scouts and the members of the Tokyo Fire Department Music Band also come, and it seems to be a very fun event.

At Harumi Wharf, the Tokyo Minato Festival is also held on May 12 and 13, and there are various boats (tours) besides fire boats and various corners, so this is also I think you can enjoy it.

　I'm looking forward to the weekend!
