　On May 28, inhabitant of a ward college * Manabino lecture (regeneration of Kamejima River and town development) class began.

Prior to that, an event was held on the 23rd (going through the Nihonbashi River by boat). Accordion performance was entered between the commentary on the ship, and it was an event to look at both banks of the Nihonbashi River and the Kamejima River, and the climate was optimal and a good voyage.

　The Kamejima River, which has played an important role in transporting goods since the Edo period, has lost its utility value with the transition of the times, and has been abandoned, but has been reviewed as the redevelopment of the center of the city has progressed .

　The class is to make a plan to regenerate the waterside of the Kamejima River.

　Please let us know if you have any good ideas, such as creating a garden on the terrace, opening a promenade, opening a water bus route, etc.

Special Exhibition Tsukiji Small Theater Exhibition

　Date: From May 23 (Sat) to July 12 (Sun), 2009

　Venue: Time Dome Akashi Special gallery space (6th floor)

 

On the first day of the opening of the "Tsukiji Small Theater" exhibition, I was in charge of guidance as a supporter of the local Tenmonkan.

After the Meiji era, Yoshi Hijikata and Kaoru Osanai opened the Tsukiji Small Theater in the world after the 1924 earthquake, and under national control and regulations, valuable materials such as the development and transformation calendar of modern Japanese drama can be listed, and I would like to thank all the people concerned.

 

 

 

In the evening of late May, when the scent of early summer began to spread, a "survey to respect Japanese" was held on the grounds of Tsukiji Honganji Temple.

The five members of the opera unit "LEGEND" told us beautiful harmony.

It is a time to forget the hustle and bustle of the city, with famous Japanese and Western songs echoing in the precincts.

Since ancient times, shrines and temples have been a field of cultural transmission, but it is nice that many people gather in this way even today.

There are many other historical shrines and temples in Chuo-ku, so I would like to visit various places for a stroll.

I pray for the happiness and development of the inhabitants of the ward.

 

 

Shochiku Otani Library is a library specializing in theater and movies that opened in July 1958. It was established with the aim of making the materials collected and held by Shochiku Co., Ltd. widely available to the public and contributing to the development of social culture.

The materials include a variety of materials related to theater (Kabuki, Bunraku, New School and Commercial Theater), movies, Nihon Buyo and TV. The number of materials, including the original Joruri 300 years ago, was 350,000.

Admission is free, but it is a closed library so it cannot be entered in the library.

ADK Shochiku Square, where the Shochiku Otani Library is located, emphasizes public nature and open to the public, and the entrance hall on the first floor uses a staircase floor made of natural wood to the third floor. It is also used for small concerts, etc. When there is no event, it is used as a place to meet and talk casually with friends. In the building, there are cafes, dining, popular udon restaurants, Taiwanese restaurants and sushi restaurants. The outside of the building is planted with bamboo and pine trees, and it is located next to Ginza, but the inside of the building is quietly wrapped.　(1-13-1 Tsukiji, Chuo-ku, Tokyo)

 

 

 

 

 

We often see weeping cherry tree and weeping willows, but we think weeping ginkgo is rare.

If you stop by on the way back from the correspondent briefing, make sure that young leaves of weeping ginkgo cover the precincts.

I felt very beautiful in the blue sky.

After visiting the weeping ginkgo, you may take a walk around the Tsukiji Outer Market.
