"Is it the scent of the rhinocerous?"

In the second half of October, the weather was autumnal and weather.

The osmanthus at Tsukiji River Park is usually inconspicuous, but now there are few flowers around it and few flowers that emit fragrance, so its existence is particularly noticeable and the feet of passing people stop .

It's a clear day for a walk in autumn.　By all means, why don't you go out and enjoy the coming autumn?

In October theater's performance, entitled "Shosei Matsumoto Koshirooien", it is a hot topic that Benkei and Togashi of the seventh generation, Danjuro and Koshiro of the seventh generation work day and night. The 7th-generation Koshiro 17th Anniversary, which was held from February to April 1965, was performed by the Tokyo Takarazuka Theater, Kabukiza Theater, Osaka Shin Kabukiza Theater, and the Osaka Shin Kabukiza Theater, and the seventh-generation father, the seventh-generation sons, Danjuro, the 11th generation, Koshiro Yoshitsune, and the first generation Matsukei are young. I'm thrilled to read that it was a really happy trouble for fans.

I watched the evening section where Koshiro played Benkei, Danjuro played Togashi and Fujijuro played Yoshitsune. Kintaro-kun, who has a sword, is cute. If this was the plan, Somegoro was out, so the seventh generation would have been pleased with the grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and grandson. It is said that the seventh generation performed Benkei more than 1600 times in his lifetime, and Koshiro of his generation already has 1048 times (before this performance). It was a good time. I inadvertently took the front row, so I decided to look at Benkei's back, who stepped six directions on the flower path. Even so, Mr. Fujijuro is young. "Is it really 80 years old?" He said at the same time as the next seat.

We are looking for a questionnaire for the performance of the new Kabukiza Theater, which will open in April next year. It seems that you will win an admission ticket for the "opening ceremony" by lottery, so I'm going to apply. If you are interested, please refer to the Shochiku website.

The other act of the night part is "Goro Kura of the Imperial Palace". This time, there is no temporary flower path, so Goro Kura and Doemon will come out using good and flower paths, and "Goro Kurauchi Beri", which is rarely performed, will appear. It's been since 2003.

It is a setting that seems to be a little impossible that the two people who have their hearts can breathe while playing the shakuhachi and kokyu, but it is said that Ami silent wrote at the request of Kodanji "What makes the actors troubled" . If you are worried about the results, go to the theater. The day part is "Kokuseiya Battle".

　The other day, I led a Brazilian acquaintance who was staying at a hotel in Tsukiji, one of whom went from Tokyo Station to Shin-Osaka Station, and the other two led a greedy group of seeing off and sightseeing.　After shopping at Tsukiji Outer Market, I took an Edo bus from Chuo-ku government office and moved to Tokyo Station Yaesu North Exit. There is no hard work such as pulling in the underpass with a cart, and there is no inconvenience to others (Edo bus, thank you!)

 After helping to buy the ticket and sending it off to the platform, I went to the Money Museum again in Nihonbashi shuttle bus to see Japanese currency. After that, take the Edo bus in front of Cored Muromachi, move to Suitengu, and pray for safe delivery.　(Oops, she was single.) At the intersection of Suitengu, I purchased "luxury rice cracker", and how about the promenade while cheeking, and the procession of Yanagiya? When I looked into it, unlike usual, only about 10 customers were waiting.　It was the first time for two Brazilians to eat sea bream containing anko, and it was interesting to take pictures of how to bake sea bream.

　From a lot of explanations, I thought it would be good to have them experience "Show money" and "Show the place where the sea bream is baked", so I'll report it.

On the way back, of course, we returned to Chuo-ku government office by Edo bus and enjoyed the pedestrian paradise of Ginza.　Brazilians walk in Ginza happily.　I wonder if this is also called silver bra.

 From Friday, September 28 to October 1 (Mon), the opening hours of Hamarikyu Onshi Garden will be extended to 21:00 in line with September 30, the 15th night of this year, and the garden will be lit around the pond with tide. It is designed so that you can enjoy the mid-autumn moon shining in the tide.

The fantastic competition with the mid-autumn moon and the faint lighting of the Daimyo Garden in the background of the window lights of the surrounding skyscrapers makes you forget the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy the beauty of the garden unique to night. Unless opportunity.

On the first day, there were a little clouds, and although the moon did not shine in the clear night sky, the moon hidden between the clouds also has a taste.

On September 23 (Sun), at Time Dome Akashi, "Let's go to the planetarium on the fourth Sunday!" <September 30 is a mid-autumn moon> lecture.

・The 15th night (also known as the sweet potato moon) is a moon viewing ritual from China. During the Heian period, a moon viewing party was held among the nobles, and in the Edo period, it became a general event linked to agricultural practices that appreciate autumn harvest.

・Mid-autumn refers to August 15 in the middle of the fall of old calendar (July, August and September), and Naka-autumn refers to the whole August when divided into three categories: early fall (July), mid-autumn (August), and late autumn (September).

・In Japan, the moon viewing one month after the fifteenth night is called the thirteenth night (also known as the chestnut name month / bean name month / later month), and it has been said that "Katatsukimi", which only one of them, should be condemned.

・The number of offering on the moon viewing is usually 12, 13 in leap months, 15 in 15 nights, and 13 in 13 nights.

・The following two points are recommended for detailed observation of the moon.　

　①"The Sea of the Moon" (a dark plain covered with dark-colored basalt)

　②"Lightjo" (Ejects scattered during crater formation due to meteorite collisions become radial muscle)
