A refreshing autumn day.

I would like to go on such a walk, ask historic sites, enjoy the autumn leaves, and eat delicious lunches.

First of all, from the ruins of Shinkawa.

"Shinkawa is a canal that is said to have been excavated by Zuiken Kawamura in Manji 3 (1660). In the Edo era, it was used for boating and transportation, and both banks were first prosperous as a timber wholesaler and later a liquor store wholesaler. " -Chuo-ku Tourism Association -

Now it has already been reclaimed, and this Shinkawa monument reminds us of those days.

It is the birthplace of the Central Commercial School.

Dr. Junjiro Takagusu, a Buddhist scholar, visited Europe and the United States, and was established with the aim of fostering highly educated merchants.

The school building was relocated from Shinkawa, Chuo-ku to Kameido, Koto-ku in 2001.

Cherry blossoms are beautiful in spring, but autumn leaves are beautiful in autumn.

It has a kibuta and is very rich.

The curry is very spicy, but the onion is sweet and well-balanced.

Autumn color gradation of natsuta

Vine wall ELS.JPGNatsuta real RRSC.JPG  Autumn gradually deepens,

The sunset is getting faster, and it makes you feel that the coming winter is approaching soon.

The leaves of the trees are colorfully colored in the planting of Harumi Triton Square, but this time we will focus on autumn leaves.

Japanese dogwood, Yoshino cherry tree, Salsberg, Hasenoki and Nishikigi are dyed red.

Attention is paid to "Natsuta" (also known as Nishizukita) of the vine family.

Spring buds, lush greenery in summer, autumn leaves, winter vine patterns, and plants with many highlights throughout the year.

Stretch the beard and climb the rocks, trees, and walls with the suction cup at the tip.

It is said that when the trunk grows thicker, it sticks out and sticks.

It hides under the leaves and produces small fruits similar to grapes.

The birds come in and it's rugged.

The vivid red color is not enemies to gozenoki, etc., but the autumn color gradation that covers the entire wall of the Triton parking building creates a unique atmosphere and is worth seeing.

Tour report of the 18th Chuo-ku Industrial Culture Exhibition (Navel Exhibition)

[Silver] Nov. 10, 2014 16:00

 The 18th Chuo-ku Industrial Culture Exhibition (navel exhibition) was held for four days from November 2 to 5.

(Navel Exhibition) I wonder what it means, and when I look at the leaflet in the guide, I think

 This year, "Gathering, interacting, and creating." Chuo-ku. Under the theme of ~ Chuo-ku 'Hatsu' Industry and Culture, we will introduce representative industries in the city, such as the printing and bookbinding industry, metal industry, and textile industry, together. (Omitted)

In other words, Chuo-ku, which has long developed as the center of Japanese culture, commerce and information, and in the center of Tokyo's 23 wards, in terms of human body, the center was named "navel". I thought it was.

 Immediately after entering, there were Sukeroku and Agemaki costumes worn in Kabuki.

 Ozu Washi, a trading company specializing in Japanese paper in the first year of the Shoo era (1653 AD), has experienced paper making at a shop in Nihonbashi. I hope that the registration of Washi with World Cultural Heritage will proceed.

Edoya, a long-established brushstroke company founded in 1718 (1718 AD), decided to purchase two of his favorite pig hair toothbrushes and buy hat brushes at the shop. I had an eco bag as a souvenir.

DSC06165 (300x169). jpgDSC06161 (300x169). jpg

One of the most popular was the furoshiki corner.

My sisters taught me how to use furoshiki.

You can put it on the bottom of your bag and use it in case of emergency, and it is a furoshiki for carrying important shopping and wrapping and carrying broken objects. Also, there is a Japanese atmosphere. I wanted the children to remember it.

DSC06158 (300x169). jpgDSC06166 (300x169). jpg

At the booths of the Tokyo Printing Industry Association Kyobashi and Nihonbashi branches, we were able to purchase postcards of Historic buildings and landscapes in Nihonbashi and Kyobashi.

This is what I thought was a great technology. Tsukishima Machinery's sewage sludge fuel conversion technology of Tsukishima Industrial Association. It's an environmentally friendly technology.

It is a super-large floating roof tank of Ishii Iron Works, which is used to store fuel for airplanes. The roof can move up and down according to the amount of fuel stock, preventing fuel from vaporizing or exploding.

 The NPO Tokyo Chuo Net and the Tokyo Fire Department Rinko Fire Station were also exhibited for firefighting and rescue activities.

"A hospital? Ambulance? If you get lost, it's # 7119. 

DSC06171 (300x169). jpgDSC06169 (300x169). jpg

 In May this year, the cool dispatch scene of the Tokyo Fire Department Seaside Fire Station, which was shown at the Tokyo Minato Festival at Harumi Wharf, came to my eyes.

/archive/2014/05/66may-24th2014.html

Thank you very much

 There were many other companies on display. (Please forgive me for being omitted.)

And the quiz rally was popular among children.

I wrote quizzes about Chuo-ku in four places on the answer sheet, and if I answered correctly, I got a prize.

We had lunch box this year. It's useful.

 Well, it was time for lunch.

At the lunch and souvenir corner, famous stores in Chuo-ku, Meijiza, Ginza Wakamatsu, Tsukiji Tama Sushi, Uokyu, Kazuo Chuo-ku Confectionery Industry Cooperative, and Hatoya Nori Store were opened.

 

The "navel exhibition" is fun and study. Since it is held every other year, why don't you watch the "Navel Exhibition" again next year?

 Pansy is a perennial plant of the violet family native to Europe.

The name of Pansy is derived from the French Panse (think), and it is said that the bud turned downward looks like a person in thought.

It blooms for a long time from autumn to May, and has a wide variety of flowers, including the size, color, and bloom of flowers.In addition to single colors, those that bloom beautifully in two colors, those that have eyes called `` blotch '' in the center of the flower There are also things that mix various colors, things that have borders, and varieties that have large wavy.

The small-flowered variety of pansies is generally called viola.

There are many varieties that combine pansies and violas, and I hear that the boundaries are ambiguous.

Viola is also a scientific name that refers to the whole violet plant.

Viola Tricolle is ancestor of Pansy, and its name is three colors in French.

It is said that the Japanese name "Saniro Sumire" was born from here.

It looks like a variety of animal faces, can be parable,

It is also called "human grass", "chal butterfly grass", and "play butterfly grass".

 

Planting Harumi Triton's “Flower Terrace” and “Green Terrace” and “South Triton Park” containers from the end of October, about 100 new species of fun friends from Pansy Viola have been newly introduced.

How do you look like expressive "comfortable friends"?

[Silver] Nov. 8, 2014 18:00

 Heaven artists who perform fun performances every time.

This year, Pika (face man) and Kirarin (Shota Yume Magic) sister performed at the Akashicho Disaster Prevention Pier.

Pika manipulated face masks made of drawing paper upside down and down to make the children watching the play laugh.

At the end of the show, he was a very kind little father who played with the children and gave the lost children a chance again.

Mr. Kirarin is magic. The pantomime was also very good.

A large card becomes smaller or smaller

DSC06002 (300x169). jpg

When you put a shredded tissue paper in a bowl with the children, it becomes a udon or something.

Even if the juices of red, blue, and yellow are put together in a paper bag, the juice of the same color was taken out in a glass.

DSC06012 (300x169). jpg

He took out several boxes from empty paper bags and taught me the wonders and fun of magic. The children were delighted.

In addition, I told you that you can see Kirarin on the website called Shotamu Magic.
