　The 11th EDO ART EXPO, "The actors depicted in Ukiyo-e" and "Edo "Japanese calligraphy Exhibition" are being held simultaneously. The period is from September 21 to October 9.　Please go out early so that you don't miss it.

　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.
