Summer when the lively voices of children resonate in parks and public facilities in Chuo-ku. The summer vacation season is also a season for parents and children to interact, and a season for local people to interact peacefully.

Even in Chuo-ku, summer vacation is a season when there are many events and many memories remain for children. Many seasonal events, such as fireworks festival and Summer Festival Bon Odori, will be remembered forever.

 

In Chuo-ku, various events are planned during the summer vacation at children's centers in each region. Develop children's rich experiences, such as “cooking classes”, “craft classes” and “movie shows”. 

Here [Tsukiji Children's Center], the annual event at the end of summer vacation, "Tsukiji Children's Center Summer Festival" was held. It was a hot Sunday, but more children and their families rushed more than usual. Everyone seems to be spending a lot of summer vacation, many children are tanned, and after all, they have a good face.

At the venue, children's performances were performed at the “Opening / Ending Ceremony”, and “Water gun shooting” and “Origami classroom” were set up as play experience corners. In addition, a meal booth was set up, and "Yakisoba" and "Shaved Ice" were provided. Many children, from the upper grades of elementary school to infants, spent a good day.

 

Children are the treasures of the region. I feel that the smile and cheer show the development and happiness of the town. The summer vacation will soon be over and the second semester will begin. I pray that the memories of this summer will be written on one page of their growth for a long time.

 

More Summer vacation will soon be over

 

The summer homecoming season has passed.

I sometimes hear the sound of insects in the grass.

Still burning sunlight, and the reflection seemed to be somehow.

 

When the wind containing plenty of heat stops, sweat will still ooze even if you sleep.

In such a sleepless night, the ghost story and the market price are fixed.

In the past, movie theaters had a signboard depicting the scene of the screening.

The picture of the mysterious story filled with poisonous oil paint suddenly appeared in the light, and it was crunchy.

During the screening period, I was consciously careful not to pass in front of the movie theater.

 

I think "Tokaido Yotsuya Kaidan" is the one that reigns at the top of the many ghost stories.

Kabuki Kyogen by the fourth generation Nanboku Tsuruya.

Each time you get a reputation and repeat it, various tastes are incorporated.

Returning the door plate, passing through the Japanese lantern, being poisoned ... just thinking of it is scary.

 

It has evolved by being featured in performances such as rakugo of Sanyutei Encho, as well as in numerous movies and TV dramas.

Each time, it increases its terrificness, becomes cute, and becomes full.

 

There is also a shrine in Chuo Ward that enshrines the main character, Oiwa-sama.

Tamiya Oiwa Inari Shrine in Shinkawa 2-chome.

It is said that the mansion of the Tamiya family, the family of Yotsuya Samoncho, was burned down and moved in 1879.

Momodoishi, which is designated as a tangible ethnic cultural property of the inhabitants, was dedicated by the first Udanji Ichikawa to commemorate the performance.

It is close to Shintomiza, and it is said that it was worshiped by the Hanayanagi world and Kabuki officials and was crowded.

 

The story is a spin-off of the legendary kyogen "Chushingura", an out-of-the-counter version of the summer version.

Compared to Ako Gishi on the front, the thorough back of Iyemon, the same ronin, would be pleasant to play if he was an actor.

The more evil you put out, the more shading the darker the character setting.

Iyemon, an unrighteous husband who pushed the rock to the rocks in the national ward.

Oh. The dark part of the heart resonates.

 

 

 

The other day, I had the opportunity to have a person who lived in Tsukiji before the war show an old photo.

One of the most interesting things was "just after the end of the war" from the roof of "Navy Military Medical School (now Cancer Center)".
At that time, this building was requisitioned by the army and ordinary Japanese could not enter, so the photos at this angle seem to be very rare, but a soldier who happened to meet him said, `` I took a picture near your house. "

　The first one is a picture of Ginza on the left side of the rooftop.
The statue on the left end is a bronze statue of Arisugawa Shrine, which seems to be quite large.
The Tsukiji River has not yet been reclaimed, and at the bottom right is the Kitamon Bridge, which has now disappeared, and the bridge in the middle is the Saijo Bridge.
At present, there are many buildings ahead of it, including Jiji Tsushinsha, but in this photo, there are few tall buildings and there are places that are vacant, and instead of Showa-dori ahead, Ginza 4-chome You can look up to the "Wako Clock Tower" at the intersection!
It seems that there were quite a few buildings demolished in advance because this was "compulsory evacuation" in order to prevent the spread of fire, rather than burning in an air raid.

 The second one is the angle looking at Harumi-dori St. from the entrance of the current Tsukiji Social Education Center, and straight to the left to Ginza.
The river in the foreground was reclaimed afterwards, and the Tsukiji Social Education Center was built in that place.

It is said that "Tsukiji was spared from air raids because of St. Luke Hospital," but incendiary bombs aimed at Ginza seemed to fall considerably due to their aim and being washed away by the wind. "I can't forget that Schulsul and fire ran on this street," said the person who showed the photo.

It's been 67 years since the war ended.
Those who can talk about such things have become older, but I thought that we had to inherit the history of the city where we live.

 

 

 

In the west "Hot Koshien", which started on the 8th, Ebizo-san struggles early in the theater this month! The topic "Date's Ten Roles" is opening. I went out immediately with a friend of "Shrimp Life".

The great success of "Thank you very much." At the beginning of the opening, Ebizo in front of the panel of 10 roles played in the background divided into "good" and "bad" in the background, "Hajimomijiase no Kaomi" (Hajimomijiase no Kaomi) means "I will explain the face that has turned red like autumn leaves by changing the ten roles quickly while sweating."
He plays the ten roles of "deceiving, deceived", "slaughter", "cutting, judge", so if you tighten the daily "10 times cheering", you can see that the hall will be excited with the expectation of "10 times cheering".

This kyogen was written by the north and south by a combination of "Kara predecessor Hagi" and "Kaidan no Kaidan" based on the Date riot known as the three major riots in Edo. It was played in 1815 (1815) and played 10 roles such as Daijin Masaoka, Danki Dansei, and Katsumotoju Hosokawa. After that, the performance was discontinued, and the predecessor Sarunosuke revived in Meijiza in 1979, and since then it has become one of Sarunosuke's favorite roles. Ebizo played his first role in 2010 and replayed for the first time in 2 years and 7 months. In the second time, the early replacement was used to drifting stones and I don't know when it was changed. It is thought that it will be really tough physically because it will change 10 roles almost 50 times in a play close to 4 hours, but it is somewhat fun and easy to spare, from Dotetsu on the bank in the shape of a monk to Daio Takao , From Niki Dansei to Katsumoto, the judge role, and finally to the air ride. Early replacement is the main, so it is digested conveniently and it is not exactly the same as the story of "Hagi" or "Aggregation", but it is guaranteed that you can enjoy it.

Please take a look at the stage of Ebizo who blows away the remaining heat.
This month, "Fumiaki Azuma Sakurahime" here Fukusuke and Ainosuke will co-star at noon in the north and south kyogen. Senakiraku will be held on the 23rd.

Did you know that Tsukiji originated from kneaded products such as hampan and Satsumaage, which are indispensable for ingredients for oden, and "Kibun", which is familiar with various foods?

Even now, the shops in the out-of-market market are always crowded with customers, but they are now closed for renovation work.
Until now, we have been selling freshly-made hot Satsuma fried chicken, etc., but after the renewal, it seems to evolve further, and I am looking forward to it now!
On the day of the reopening on September 19 (Wednesday), I have to go! !
 

 

Summer performance!　When it's hot, it's important to manage your physical condition. If you have anorexia or are tired, it is better to cook with vinegar in summer.　Today, I would like to introduce my favorite "Colded Chinese". It's @ 850 yen, cold Chinese of Ikoma eaves at Tsukiji 6-chome 8-9.　Uses apple vinegar for vinegar. The ingredients are salads, charsews, cucumbers, and tomatoes with agar returned from the right, and there are two fragrant small shrimps. It has been devised with a little French dressing.　On top of the noodles, jelly and chopped seaweed are scattered, making it artistic.　I drank all the soup.　A family-like Ikoma eaves. Please drop in once. With this, 850 yen is worth it.

 

　Postscript: On August 2, we had Tianjin bowl (Tianjin rice in Kansai) guts. My daughter, who came to help during the lunch break, was just like my father, and two grandchildren were my mother.　That's why everyone looks exactly like an old man! I had a smiley day.
