The Japan Museum in Siebold (Edo Tokyo Museum)

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] October 16, 2016 09:00

At Akatsuki Park in Tsukiji, there is a bronze statue of German doctor and naturalist Philip Franz von Siebold.

The statue of Siebold, a doctor of Dutch trading post who played an active part in Dejima in Nagasaki, is located in Tsukiji, the birthplace of Edo Dutch studies, and is said to have contributed to the development of Siebold's daughter, Ine, opened a maternity hospital in Tsukiji.

On the other hand, the special exhibition "Japan Museum of Reviving Siebold" is currently being held at the Edo Tokyo Museum in Tokyo (Yokoami, Sumida-ku).

The Edo Tokyo Museum is not a building in Chuo-ku, but I would like to introduce it as a special exhibition of Siebold, which is closely related to Chuo-ku.

The event will be held from Tuesday, September 13 to November 6 (Sunday).

Siebold came to Japan twice during the Edo period to form a huge Japanese collection.

In this exhibition, in commemoration of the 150th anniversary of Siebold's death, he is trying to reproduce the "Japan Museum" he envisioned.

This exhibition is composed of about 300 works that returned home from Munich.

Anyway, I am surprised at the wide range of exhibits.

Buddha statues, ceramics, lacquerware, lacquerware, lacquerware, folding screens, kakejiku, bamboo craft, hardware, kimono, map, etc.

In this exhibition, I learned for the first time that Siebold had come to Japan twice.

In addition to being a doctor and naturalist, I learned that he was a Japanese researcher and held many exhibitions in Western Europe to introduce Japan in his own collections.

I went to October 10 (Monday), but this day was the last day of the first half of the exhibition, with a closed day on the 11th, and some exhibitions will be replaced from the 12th (Wednesday) .

 The day before, light rain flicked, and I was worried about the event on the day, but "What! "I blew off the cloudy sky with the power of Tsukiji kid, and it was fine.

At 5:00 pm, the members of the Nihonbashi Junior High School brass band will gather on the Sumida River Terrace, play light music, and Autumn Festa starts. (Unfortunately, at this time, the camera goes to the company!)

It was a big lottery that everyone was waiting in line.

There are 100 special boarding tickets for water buses provided by the Tokyo Metropolitan Park Association, 750 retort curry assortment provided by local Nichirei Co., Ltd., and 150 mineral waters.

 Neighbors pushed strollers by bicycle, and the whole family enjoyed it, and the terrace was full of customers.

Handmade delicious food from the members of the Tsukiji town council hosting this festival was sold.

After all, the barbecue of fresh and delicious seafood typical of Tsukiji was very popular.

The person in charge of the baker was also very busy.

From 6:30 pm to 7:15 pm, a group called "Silk de Men" played by local tofu shops and their friends.

The origin of the naming is interesting! There are silk (silk) and cotton tofu (men) for tofu, and they are named after those names.

At the venue, Elvis Presley's songs and Yuzo Kayama's songs were played, and the audience was in love with famous songs such as "Tennessy Waltz" and "You and forever".

My brother, like Naga-chan, it's nice!

DSC02169 (360x202) (2). jpg

The "twist" danced by the audience's sister was good.

 If you have a well-cold beer and a delicious snack, time will pass quickly.

We rushed to the venue for the mini cruise of the water bus. At the moment, the final ship was out!

 The food sold at the mock shop was

Edamame, Harajuku dock, relieved cake, egg grill, squid grilled, shrimp grilled, meat tofu, stewed, mackerel sandwich, yakisoba, etc. As expected, it was an on-parade of delicious food only in Tsukiji.

In addition, for children, consideration was given to play with yo-yo fishing, super bowl scooping, etc.

 It was a quick time. Thank you to everyone, including the local neighborhood association who prepared this fun event.

I'm looking forward to it next year as soon as possible. We look forward to seeing you again in 2017.

Here are some of the shops I visited this time.

This year's festival has ended, but please go to Tsukiji Outer Market and each store in Chuo-ku.

It was the Tsukiji Autumn Festival, which was very fun and very satisfied with the stomach.

 

 

Students from Indonesia on the street corner of Tsukiji and Tsukiji Sweets are also available.

[Silver] 12:00 on October 8, 2016

 On the morning of September 26, a couple from Los Angels seems to go to Tsukiji Central Market at Shintomicho station. I tried to talk to you. And we started walking together to get together to Tsukiji Outer Market.

Looking back on me, a woman walking a little in front of us, will you go to Tsukiji Market? When I called out, the American couple went away naturally.

  While talking to a woman walking alone in the matter, passing through Tsukiji Honganji Temple, "It's a big temple," or "I used to come to Kobe to study abroad, but now I'm a student studying in Shanghai, China, and her nationality is Indonesia." While having a fun conversation, on the gate ruins street, we will guide you through an eraser imitating Orimatsu sushi, and sample Tsukudani at Kikuya Nakamura. Indonesians thought that they couldn't eat pork <Halal cuisine>, and that the food they eat was strict, but they tasted Shishamo's Tsukudani and said, "Delicious!" A clerk from Kikuya Nakamura took a picture. Thank you!

 Then, I took me to "Platto Tsukiji" and received a MAP of the out-of-market market.

 My explanation, "I can't enter the market before 10 o'clock," said that I just saw it from the outside and walked around the outside market. Too kindly (Is it annoying to her?) I thought, then, Have a nice day. I had a good time. 

And we started interviewing the latest Tsukiji sweets at an out-of-market store.

At the shop opposite Mr. Kibun, Ichigo Daifuku was sold at another store, but it seems that he has moved here.

1475027937938.jpg 

It seems popular with visitors to Tsukiji, such as seasonal fruits stabbed on skewers.

1475027948274.jpg

 Today, I bought Daifuku with mango and whipped. It was a bit unusual, but it was delicious.

1475027958127.jpg

 Tsukiji Outer Market is a fun place because you can shop, sample, buy bite-sized egg-yaki and eat around.
