　Today, I have seen 10 ukiyo-e paintings on display at the Senbikiya Sohonten on the second floor of Nihonbashi Mitsui Tower. There is a description below the picture.

　

It is said that Van Gogh of Hiroshige Utagawa's Van Gogh also imitated "Ohashi Atake no Yudate (Hundred Views of Edo), "Kandakonnyacho (same)" in Katsushika Hokusai, "Edo Nihonbashi (Thirty-six Views of Fujitake)", "Koshu Ishikasazawa (same)", and "Totamaro Kitagawa's Doro Kitagawa's Doro Kitagawa's Doro Beemonyo.

　

　And it's "Ono Komachi" by Kiyocho Torii.　In his heart, he shouted "Yamatoya!" in his heart, depicting the aesthetic sense from the Edo period and the behavior of a smart actor.

The organizers of this event are NPO Tokyo Net, sponsored by Tokyo, Chuo-ku, Chiyoda-ku, Minato-ku, and Sumida-ku.　It is a grand event supported by many companies and supported by their cooperation. It's around this time when there is a cool sign of autumn. We recommend "EDO ART EXPO Tour" for both health and gastronomy.

Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
The start date of applying for volunteers at the Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games is
September 21 (Fri), which is less than a week....
We have participated in the "Lecture on the 1st Olympic and Paralympic Games 2018-Let's reduce the distance behind Japan and Brazil with an understanding" held at Chuo-ku Office! .
　
Chuo-ku signed a memorandum of understanding with the Brazilian Olympic Committee in June last year.
A Family and Friends Lounge (a place where players and others can interact with family and friends) will be set up at Toyomi Elementary School.
Chuo-ku is the only ward where an athlete village can be formed, and among them, especially those in Brazil.
Isn't it going to deepen exchanges more and more?



In order to deepen our understanding of Brazil from now on, we will continue to do so.
This time, Mr. Chisuko Iizumi, a public relations department of Meiji Co., Ltd., who also has a license for a dietitian, and has a license.
Moema Ramos of the Brazilian Olympic Committee came.
　
In the first half, Iiizumi introduced Brazil!
Find commonalities and differences between Japan and Brazil from topics such as food and drink, education system, sports and industry.
After that, I learned about the cacao production area in Tomeas, Brazil, which is also used in chocolate in the Meiji era.
Here, we conduct agriculture that creates forests called agroforestry agriculture (agriculture + forestry).
They say they are pursuing the restoration and sustainability of Amazon.



In fact, you can smell the scent of cacao beans and cacaonib that came into the Meiji factory from Brazil.
You can get 2 kinds of meiji THE Chocolate as souvenirs.
I was able to feel chocolate with all five senses and eventually Brazil.
Brazil located on the other side of the earth...
Although it is far away, I also found that there is a surprisingly familiar connection.
　
In the second half, we will discuss the efforts of the Brazilian Olympic Committee at the Rio Olympics.
Mr. Ramos introduced me with a video.
We have set up seven base camps in Rio that are easy for players to access the venue and have solid security.
Athletes' families and friends (not allowed to enter the athlete village) can watch the game and set up a family lounge where they can relax.
It seems that they had given sufficient consideration to the players and their stakeholders.
　
Listening to these stories, we learned about our efforts in Rio and prepared for 2020.
As a correspondent working in Chuo-ku, I was also very inspired!
As you can see from Tsukiji Reservoir and modern Ginza, Chuo-ku is a very international ward.
How will Chuo-ku evolve toward 2020?...I'm really looking forward to it.

September 15 There was a tour of Loop Route 2 (Toyosu-Tsukiji) facility on September 15, and we walked along this course across Tsukiji Ohashi and Toyosu Ohashi.

　

　

I walked about 2 km from the Kachidoki side, near the Sumida River, and returned to Tsukiji Ohashi, Tsukiji Market, Tsukiji Ohashi, Athlete Village, Toyosu Ohashi, Toyosu Ohashi, Toyosu Market, and return departure point. .

　

　

　

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<> Pass by Tsukiji Market. To Shiodome / Tameike area　>>>>>>

　

　

　

<<<<<<< Tsukiji Market to be relocated soon　>>>>>>

　

　

　

Unfortunately, it was raining on the day, but as you can see, many people participated in the tour.

　

　

　

　

Tsukiji Ohashi is a unique arch structure. Because of the height, walking and cycling are a little difficult.

　

　

<< Tsukiji Ohashi, written by the former Governor of Tokyo >>>>>

　

　

<<I see Kachidokibashi like every day, but this is the first time from this angle.>>>

　

　

　

　

<<<<<<<< The fire boat was able to discharge water and greet us on the day. >>>>>

　

　

　

<<<<<<<Athlete village construction is progressing. 　>>>>>>>>>

　

　

<<<<<<<<<Toyosu Market to which the relocation destination is located)　>>>>>

　

It will be relocated soon, but it will be temporarily opened, so at that time cars will come and go in a hurry.

　

 

 

　A moment full of emotions at twilight created by the setting sun.

Morning and evening "burning" is a phenomenon that occurs when sunlight passes through the atmosphere for a long time from the horizon, and red light with a long wavelength reaches the eyes mainly, but its color is the amount of water vapor in the air, etc. It changes, and the situation changes rapidly depending on the position of the sun, giving it a millennium.

In particular, the time immediately after sunset is called "Magic Hour" and is breathtakingly dramatic moments.

Color magic spreads all over the sky in the waterside space.

We cannot forbid the endless awe of nature.

The evening scenery of this day seen from Tsukuda Park is the fantastic and dynamic natural beauty that mixes ink painting.

As you walk along the Sumida River Terrace while being blown by the river breeze, Chuo-ohashi Bridge will eventually be illuminated.

 

 

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.

The other day, I went out to Toyosu in Koto-ku, a little next door.

What I want to see at a nearby movie theater (a movie version of the classic program for children who loves 3-year-old daughter Azuki, "Momo with Mom") is not being screened, so an expedition to Toyosu movie theater! That's right.

I'm very satisfied with having lunch and enjoying the movie!

・・・ "Oh, it's not related to Chuo-ku at all!"

Well, please stay with me until the end.




As you may know, there is a dock at "LaLaport" in Toyosu.

That's right. "Himiko", where you can see the Sumida River from the Chuo-ku side, also stop here.

It's shown at the back of the photo. Can you tell me? It's like a spacecraft.

That should be the case, and the design is Reiji Matsumoto of "Galaxy Railroad 999".

When I look at the Sumida River at home, I'm talking about that ship cool.
　

And why is it here?

"LaLaport Toyosu" was originally the place where IHI (Ishikawajima Harima Heavy Industries) first factory (shipyard) was located.

That's right. IHI。

Shipbuilding began at the end of the Edo period on Ishikawajima Island in Chuo-ku.

It's Koto-ku, but it's slightly Chuo-ku flavor (?) Do you think it's an area where you can do it?

Well, if you go beyond the Harumi Canal, it's Chuo-ku.

So, in this way, we use the place where there was originally a dock for shipbuilding in the remnants.
　

And this is a comfortable place for everyone.

There are a lot of big benches, which is perfect for relaxing.
　

What I saw that I was relaxing

It's like this.

The scenery of Chuo-ku on the opposite bank spreads out in front of you.

You can see the St. Luke's Tower of Tsukiji in the distance.

"... that? That brown-looking bridge!"

Edamame, the correspondent's soul has been exhausted.

Let's walk to Tsukishima on the way back! And

When I took a walk, I tried a little closer.
　

Yes, this is the "Harumi Bridge".

It is a place where senior correspondents have taken up several times before, but once again.

/archive/2017/08/post-4583.html

/archive/2017/02/post-3007.html

From 1957 to 1989, it was used as a bridge where a dedicated cargo line connecting Harumi Wharf and the freight station, Echinakajima passed.

However, freight routes that have been replaced by truck transportation.

It was abolished in 1989 and at the same time this bridge was no longer used.

※Regarding the notation ...

The Harumi Bridge is a Wikipedia, and the Harumi Railway Bridge is a record of IHI, the creator of the bridge.

And Google map says "Harumi Bridge" ...

So, there are various notations in various situations.

It's the same thing.
　

From the riverbank on the Toyosu side.

It is surrounded by a large fence so that you can't get into the track.

You can see the railroad tracks over there.

Because it is a bridge that is aging, there are talks about redevelopment.

I don't think it's going well so far.
　

However, last summer, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government announced medium- to long-term guidelines on the development of marine parks.

http://www.kouwan.metro.tokyo.jp/jigyo/plan/kaijoukouenvision.html

Among them, the plan for the promenade of this bridge was mentioned.

※Page 46 of the linked PDF

"In addition to securing a walking space at the waterfront, such as by converting the former Harumi Railway Bridge, which has historical value, into promenade, we will promote the creation of a waterside environment where various creatures live by improving sandy beaches and near-natural seawalls."

There is a description.

Will it be an opportunity for future maintenance?

I would like to look forward to it.

　
That's why it was about Chuo-ku, seen from the other side of the river.

The scenery of Chuo-ku, which can be seen from a slightly different angle than usual, is also good.

　

★An extra★

The route I walked this time is as shown in the map on ↑.

What should be noteworthy is ...

It means "All Barrier-Free!"

The Harumi Bridge, which is run in parallel with the Harumi Bridge, is also available.

The Asashio Ohashi Bridge, which crosses the Harumi area to the Tsukishima area.

There is a large sidewalk without stairs

It was the best route for strolling in a stroller.

From the promenade along the canal leading from LaLaport Toyosu

There was a slope to go to Harumi Bridge and the movement was smooth.
　

Recently, azuki has begun to walk properly, and the use of strollers has decreased.

I was often not conscious of "barrier-free routes".

I think it's actually important information for children, so I'll leave it behind.
