In the past, a second-class river called Tsukiji River flowed around Tsukiji and poured into Tokyo Bay. Is it better to say that it came to be called the Tsukiji River.)

Most of them are now reclaimed, highways, parking lots, and culverts.

On the other hand, the bridge over the Tsukiji River has its name, but the adjacent small space is a park.

Finally, the season is spring production, so the park from 1 to 5 on the map below I walked and saw the highlights of the cherry blossoms planted in the park that leaves the name of the Tsukiji River and the bridge.

By the way, all the photos on the left are taken on the afternoon of March 21, and the right is taken on the afternoon of March 28.

Comments are also as of March 28.

１．Tsukiji River Park (10-2 Akashicho)

About 30 bottles such as Yoshino cherry tree. It varies from bloom to full bloom. The weeping cherry tree is in full bloom.

２．Tsukiji River Kamei Bridge Park (1-6-1 Tsukiji)

About 10 such as Yoshino cherry tree in a park near Chuo-ku government office. It blooms five minutes

３．Tsukiji River Shukubashi Park (1-11-13 Tsukiji)

About 10 such as Yoshino cherry tree. It seems that the flowering is the most delayed here because it blooms in two minutes.

４．Tsukiji River Saijobashi Park (Ginza 6-18-1)

At the back of Shimbashi Enbujo, less than 10 such as Yoshino cherry tree. It blooms for seven minutes

５．Tsukiji River Sendai Bridge Park (5-1-1 Tsukiji)

kawazu-zakura, Fugenzo and weeping cherry tree are small parks adjacent to Ginza Junior High School. kawazu-zakura has finished blooming and leaves. Hugen elephants are still buds. weeping cherry tree blooms five minutes

I felt that there was a variation in the flowering situation for each park and the cherry tree.

However, by the time this blog appears, Sakura will be more beautiful in each park and will be in full bloom.

 Hisamitsu Noguchi's nostalgic French movie poster exhibition is being held at "Tsukiji TASS Gharari Wakamatsuya" at 6-12-3 Tsukiji.
The event will be held from March 23 to April 4 (Sat).

When I entered the gallery, I thought it was an old-colored poster, and instead, the untouched poster was displayed beautifully.

Unfortunately, I have never watched these masterpieces, but the theme songs of those films are still being sung.
For example, "French Kankan" is "heaven and hell" played at the athletic meet, is it like this?

"The third man" has seen it aired on TV. Melo Day is like LaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLaLa!

There is also an exhibition and spot sale of the Western Painting Road Shop Program.

I purchased "Anna Karenina of Vivien Leigh", "The Third Man", "French Kankan", and "The Seine under the Sky of Bari flows" with posters.

The unit price is only 100 yen (tax included).　It's very nice if you decorate it in your room.

 The equinox day has passed and it has become warmer. Today, let's take a walk from Tsukiji Station on the Tokyo Metro.
When you head to Tsukiji River Park on the north side of Tsukiji Honganji Temple, a kind of cherry blossoms, "Sunlight," blooms, and the shoots of willow trees are youthful beyond it.

When you enter the park and go north, you willows have a lot of small white flowers. It's white that makes you feel refreshed. Lenkyo also has yellow flowers.

Crossing the pedestrian crossing, the flowers of the maple family are blooming.

You can see the light pink weeping cherry tree and the white flower Oshima cherry blossoms. Yoshino cherry tree will be in full bloom at the end of March.

I will go a little further and visit the campus of St. Luke's International University.
Here, pale pink cherry blossoms are blooming beautifully against the background of the building of the Toysler Memorial Hall.

Red and white peach blossoms, Christmas rose and other flowers bloom on the premises.

At Akatsuki Park, large white flowers of Hakumokuren are blooming.


After this, enjoy a meal around the St. Luke's Tower or the Tsukiji Market with a little further.

In addition, except for one kind of cherry tree "Sunlight", the scientific name of Japanese is written in katakana.

 

 

Recently, a doctor told me to take a walk, and I took a walk from my home in Toyocho opposite Nikkawa to Ginza via Akashicho.

Akashi Elementary School became beautiful, and an explanatory version of "Tsukiji Foreign Settlement Site" was installed on the corner (2013) along with "Pillars of Gas Street Light, remain of bricks during the Settlement Era, and stepping stones on the stairs of Akashi Elementary School". .

Also on the 19th, I went for a walk to Nihonbashi and saw "Okame Sakura".

It seemed to have passed, and the leaves were coming out. But it was blooming beautifully.

If I thought it was cold, I felt that it was already such a season.

 

 

　A commemorative event in which Tsukiji Honganji was designated as an Important Cultural Property was held on March 14 and 15, and has been held on both days.

On the 14th, dance with instrumental accompaniment's "Langling King" performed and strict dance were performed. Next, a projection mapping was shown in main hall to introduce the history of Tsukiji Honganji and the relationship between those involved in the construction.

The photos I took were impossible, so please enjoy it in the reports of other correspondents.

(I can't do it, but it's a picture of the evidence I went.)

　

By the way, on the 15th, we arrived before 10 o'clock in the morning and listened to the greetings of the people concerned. The children at Kyobashi Tsukiji Elementary School had a reputation for being very good.

　

　Mr. Kibun served a free oden. It was very delicious.

You can also buy it at shops outside Tsukiji or at supermarkets. I had a cup of oden at night.

　

　We listened to a commemorative lecture about Dr. Chuta Ito, who was involved in the architectural design of Tsukiji Honganji.

　

　Next, we enjoyed watching the Tsukiji Honganji Maki through the cooperation of parents and children who applied in advance.

　Everyone was serious.

I can't forget the nervous faces of the children when lifting the completed "Tsukiji Honganji Maki" and the joy of rising.

　

By the way, there were many shops for lunch, but we had delicious Matsuro fried eggs from local Tsukiji and beef steak from Oomiya beef shop.

　

　Please also see the explanation board of the newly established nationally designated important cultural properties.

　

　At the panel exhibition, we saw Kozui Otani (Kamijojin), Takeko Kujo, and Dr. Chuta Ito, who designed Honganji Temple.

In particular, the explanation of the Buddhist research and exploration journey to India was very interesting. I was once again convinced that the explanation of the encounter between the expedition and Dr. Chuta Ito.

Next, we participated in the "Honganji Tour" where you can guide you through Tsukiji Honganji Temple.

　

　I enjoyed seeing the reliefs of summoned bells (that Buddhist memorial service began), elephants, monkeys, and cows.

　Everyone who participated together seemed to have fun.

　

Finally, we also visited a video screening related to Tsukiji Honganji.

The contents include the recorded video owned by Tsukiji Honganji Temple, edited by the Chuo-ku Board of Education, such as the `` Ochikei Hoho / Great Kanto Earthquake '', and not only the situation at the time of the disaster, but also the activity at the time of the earthquake The hardships of Tsukiji Honganji were well understood. I wanted to express my deep respect.

　

Thank you for having fun and studying for two days, and thank you for many delicious things. Thank you very much.

 

 

  The main hall, Mikado-mon pillars (main gate, north gate, south gate) and stone walls of Tsukiji Honganji Temple, which were rebuilt in 1934, are typical examples of pursuing Orient-like architecture using the latest technology at the time, as well as valuable buildings during the reconstruction period (1) that have been designated as important national cultural properties.

"Goen," The reason is "I" and "you" that are utilized by various ties.

Mr. Ginzo contributed a notice blog about the event the other day, and I took a look at the night of eve festival on the 14th.

Following the "Live performance of dance with instrumental accompaniment" Langling King" by the Gagaku Association of Tsukiji Honganji, the projection mapping "Tsukiji Honganji Monogatari with Light" is finally performed to main hall, supervised by Professor Toshihiro Okada of Ryukoku University, to project the history of the current main hall incorporating ancient Indian style.

The main hall burned down in the Great Kanto Earthquake, the encounter between the architect Chuta Ito and the Otani Expedition Corps in China, and the monsters and animals associated with Chuta Ito-en (Yukari) appearing everywhere.

3D video with an impact of about 10 minutes, twice at 19:00 and 20:00.

It is a fantastic work proficiency that is a bit different from what you usually see, woven by colorful light.
