 　The Hamarikyu Garden has been renewed in spring, and canola flower has begun to bloom and yellow carpets are spreading.

　The plum blossoms are in full bloom and the introduction of ubiquitous, etc. ...

　The garden is crowded with customers every day.　　

　　　　It is colored with plum blossoms and canola flower on the back of the Shiodome buildings.

　　　　From the 46th floor of the Dentsu Building, you can see the colors of the Hamarikyu Garden.

　　A few birds came and sucked canola flower's nectar and flew off.

　　It has the name of a plum called "Full Moon Weeping".

　　Hamarikyu has three types of weeping plums, and there are also "Shirataki Weeping" and "Fuji Peony Weeping".

　　In addition, there are nearly 20 kinds of plums.

　　If you escape from the hustle and bustle and look at the large sky in the garden, you can immerse yourself in a relaxed feeling.

The other day, I visited Chuo FM's special program "Tsukiji Mandala" ...

Special number "Tsukiji Mandala" BY84.0 Mhz RadioCity

In fact, for the special program, a few days before the actual performance, a meeting was held, staff members, personality Akiko Inoue, and guest performers said, "Let's walk Tsukiji first!" I strolled around the Tsukiji Outer Market and shopped.

At that time, I would like to introduce the "Tokyo Marathon Use Ume" (dried plum dried) discovered.

This is Kimchi and pickles "Nakagawa Foods".

From the official website of Tsukiji Outer Market:

When I visit the shop ... Everything seems to be an order from Tokyo to provide runners at the "Tokyo Marathon"

Do you mean "Tokyo purveyors"?

I tasted it, but it was sweet and seasoned (of course, the seeds are removed!) It was sweet and sour and delicious! I believe that children and foreigners can enjoy it deliciously. It is good for the body, and it is very recommended as a tea bowl.

　Of course, I purchased it.

Finally, this weekend, the "Tokyo Marathon" will support runners so that they can enjoy this "Tokyo Marathon Ume" and finish without hesitation.

Here is a letter from Mr. Nakamura, who held the "Akashi Elementary School Photo Exhibition" introduced the other day. (Approved by the individual)　

◆Contents of the letter

Thank you very much for coming to our photo exhibition at Wakamatsuya the other day.
And I'm very happy to post it on my blog with wonderful photos.
Thanks to you, about 300 customers came and the total number of signatures exceeded 1,000 during the exhibition period.
All of you are surprised.
We found that there were more people who were attached to Akashi Elementary School and who were interested than we thought.　 It was very meaningful.
It was also featured in NHK News, Yomiuri Shimbun and Sankei Shimbun.

◆Continuing

It has been decided to change the location and hold a second stage of the photo exhibition in a corner of the gallery in Ginza.
We will contact you again when the purpose and date of the event are determined in detail.
The location is the Okuno Building in Ginza. Do you know? This is also a building in the early Showa period.

The novel set on Tsukuda Island, "Tsukuda Island Futari Shobo" (written by Tatsuro Dekune), begins when one of the characters crosses the Sumida River on a ferry and comes to Tsukuda Island.

The history of Tsukuda's ferry is old, and it opened in 1644, when fishermen from Tsukuda-mura, Settsu-kuni (Nishiyodogawa-ku, Osaka-shi) entered Edo in accordance with Ieyasu Tokugawa and built Tsukuda Island. It was the year after I built it.

Tsukuda's ferry, which began as a water foot connecting Tsukuda Island and Edo City, was later used by people as an important means of transportation even after the Edo, Meiji, Taisho, and Showa eras, and the last Sumida River basin. It was active as a ferry, but in 1964, Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge was completed with the long role of 30.

At present, stone monuments marked "Tsukuda Island Ferry" are built on both sides of the Sumida River, Tsukuda and Minato, respectively. In 1927, it was built in commemoration of the fact that Tokyo City abolished the rowing boat and made it a free tugboat, and is registered as a Chuo Ward Cultural Property.

"Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge" received a baton from "Tsukuda's ferry".

The course of the Tokyo Marathon, which will be held this weekend (28th), is just 36 km.

It would be surprising to see the old people who once crossed the Sumida River on a ferry and 32,000 runners running overhead. 

From 9:00 to 11:00 on February 16th (Tuesday), I appeared on Chuo FM's special program "Tsukiji Mandala", which was broadcast live from Tsukiji Outer Market.
