　On September 25, the autumn equinoctial week dawned, and as shown in the analogy of "One Rain", the effects of recent long rains overlapped, and you can feel cool day by day. .

The flower that symbolizes this period is "red spider lily".

Many of them have triple chromosomes, flowers bloom but do not actually tie, bulbs are divided into nutrients, and during the autumn equinoctial week, flower stalks without leaves are stretched and bright red flowers bloom at the tip.

It is native to southern China and is said to be a historical naturalized plant that came from China in the old age.

There are various names depending on the region, such as "Cluster Amaryllis", "Daddy flowers", and "Ghost flowers", indicating that the flowers have been deeply involved in human life since ancient times.

In Ishikawajima Park, in addition to the red "red spider lily", white "Shirobananamanjushage" (which is said to be a hybrid of red spider lily and yellow narcissus) is blooming against the Aioi Bridge.

In addition, after flowering, it grows linear thin leaves in late autumn.

It's a long rain in autumn. I went to Tsukishima in the middle of the clouds.

Tsukuda Island and Tsukishima are located in the city center and are not miraculously affected by war.
That's why I'm leaving the houses in the early Showa era.
It is an old town surrounded by skyscrapers forested on the adjacent land.
　

　The name of Tsukishima is "Tsuki no Cape" located in Tokyo Bay.

　It is said that it was named after a famous moon viewing spot.

　I couldn't see the moon this time because the conditions were not met.

　There will be a view of the moon viewing that has not changed.


　
"In a world where everything is changing

　　　　　　　　　　　　I wonder if it's the moon to sit in the same shade."

Instead, like Tsukishima, look like the moon? I looked for it.

Last year, when I went to Aomori, I learned that there was a delicious corn called "Take Kimi".

I thought, "I definitely want to eat it," but it was out of the harvest time and I got a vacuum pack.

It's been over a year since then.

At Tsukishima Daini Children's Park, we found "Takekimi" with skin at "marche of the Sun" held on the second weekend of every month.

"Mikimi" is a corn grown and harvested in the "Take Kogen" at an altitude of 400 to 500 meters at the foot of Mt. Iwaki, Aomori Prefecture.

　The sugar content of freshly picked "Takemi" is more than 18 degrees.
　It is a very sweet brand corn from Aomori Prefecture.

A lot of grapes are also sold.

Among them, it is very rare (for me.......I decided to buy "Pitterobianko".

The photo is a small part of it for serving, but I bought a lot of it.

It was so heavy that it was a reasonable price.

The fruit is stuffy and I eat it with skin.

Pumpkin for Halloween.

The longing "Takemi" is available in Chuo-ku.......。

I can't feel it.

Hello, this is Minori.

From Kachidokibashi, we could see the Tsukiji Market.

Kachidokibashi is built from Tsukiji 6-chome to Kachidoki 1-chome.

Take Harumi-dori St. toward Kachidoki Station on the Toei Oedo Line and you will get to Kachidoki Station.

At Tsukishima Daini Children's Park (1-9-8 Kachidoki) between Kachidoki Station and Tsukishima Daini Elementary School, "marche of the Sun" is held every second weekend. There are rare vegetables and fruits, handmade items and specialty products at the storefront. (The event will be held from 10:00 to 17:00. Rainy weather will be canceled.)

Also, if you walk along Kiyosumi-dori toward Tokyo Bay from that intersection, you will find Toyo-in, where the tomb of Tokasha 19 is located near Niijima Bridge, and Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine in Kachidoki 4-chome. .

(* Advance reservations are required for worshiping the tombs of Tokasha 19)

Alternatively, go straight on Harumi-dori St. from Kachidokibashi to the east side, cross the Asashio Canal at Reimei Bridge or the moving promenade "Triton Bridge", and you will reach Harumi Island Triton Square. The seasonal garden is beautiful here. In front of you is the Asashio Canal, which flows into Tokyo Bay.

In 1905, Kachidokibashi, volunteers from Kyobashi Ward set up a ferry port for ships connecting Tsukiji and Tsukishima on the opposite bank. The name "Kachidoki no Michi" commemorates the fall of Port Arthur in the Russo-Japanese War, and after that, as Tsukishima developed as an industrial area, traffic demand increased, so it was built by collecting cutting-edge technologies at that time. Kachidokibashi was completed in 1940 (1904).

Futaba jumping bridge with a total length of about 246m and a width of about 26m. At the time of completion, it was called the best movable bridge in the East. Initially, the number jumped five times a day, but the number gradually decreased due to a decrease in ship operation volume and is now shut down.

At the Kachidokibashi Museum next to the Tsukiji Market Kachidoki Gate, valuable materials and related information related to the edge of the Sumida River, including Kachidokibashi, are displayed.

In addition, near the museum, there is a stone monument of "Kachidoki no Wadashi" built in 1905 (1905). In June 2007 (2007), it was designated as a national important cultural property by the evaluation of "a highly technically completed structure with the largest movable branch in Japan".

At the end of August, I learned that the world's largest sailing ship was calling at Harumi, so I went to see it on the 27th (Sat).

Despite the unfortunate weather with light rain, the inside of the ship is open to the public, so it is quite a manpower. It was my first time to see the inside of a sailing ship, so I was really looking forward to it.

The ship is a Chilean navy training ship in South America, named "Esmeralda". It seems to mean emerald, but it seems that it is also called "white lady" because of its elegant appearance.

It's a sailing ship, so the tall mast is impressive. The ship has four masts and is as high as 49 meters.

The feature is that only the front foremast has a horizontal bar to stretch the horizontal sail, and the other three are vertical sails, so there is no horizontal bar. It's different from Nippon Maru and Kaiomaru.

I went up on the deck. It is like a sailing ship that ropes lie in some places. The floor is made of wood. The bow of the deck had a reasonable slope. I can't understand unless I actually go up on the deck.

At the back of the deck, the steering wheel looks like it's going to break when touched. The bell in the foreground is a boat bell.

I don't know how it will be used on this ship, but it seems that the reason why the steering wheel is behind the deck is because it steered by the wind hitting the sails.

In addition, the ship bell conveys the will of the ship, such as notifying the time on board or being used as a warning bell. If the ship had a soul, it would dwell on this bell ...

"Bridge" is located further up the stairs from the deck. When I was looking into Girojiro, I wanted to see inside, he put it inside.

It's not so large, but the most impressive thing was the old texture of wood, or the warmth of wood.

This ship was served in 1954 for more than 60 years. I felt something like the history of this ship, and I saw something very good.

This ship with many young people. It seems that more than 300 men and women from various countries, including not only Chilean people but also Japanese, are on board.

He left Chile in June and traveled around the world as a mission as a goodwill while practicing voying for seven months. It was the first time in nine years to call Tokyo.

I will return to Chile at the beginning of New Year next year. It's a long voyage. Next is Korea.

The sailing will take place in the open sea where the wind is stable, but I thought I would like to see this ship, which is sailing white under the blue sky.
