At St. Luke's First Gallery on the first floor of the main building of St. Luke's International Hospital in Akashicho, "Shonoro Yamanaka's work exhibition D.E.A.I: Nyan One, Familiar Animals drawn with Pastel-" is being held.

The event period is from Monday, January 29 to February 3 (Sat).

The time is from 9:00 to 17:00, but the last day is from 10:00 to 16:00.

Mr. Yamanaka regularly holds exhibitions at this gallery.

This time, it seems that it was the 31st () event.

Yamanaka's gentle and warm pastel paintings match the hospital that heals human illness, so I think that it has been held repeatedly.

Some works have a very beautiful and impressive cat's eye color, while others are detailed monotone works.

While watching the work at the venue, visitors heard conversations such as "Cute Wow," "I don't have a beautiful face," and "I'm similar to my house."

It seems that Mr. Yamanaka has been in the gallery all the time during the event.

At the venue, postcards and single-stroke notes are also sold.

Mr. Yamanaka is holding an exhibition mainly in Chuo-ku, and he plans to hold a solo exhibition at Ginza Gallery TACT in April.

Mr. Yamanaka agreed on the photography in the gallery, and gave a careful explanation of the work production.

Thank you very much

　On January 19, the Tokyo Regional Meteorological Observatory reported "Plum Flowering", one of the Japan Meteorological Agency's biological seasonal observation information. (Kitanomaru-koen Park)

7 days earlier than normal and 9 days later than last year.

The flowering of Bairin in the Hamarikyu Onshi Garden has not yet been heard, but on the side of the flower garden, the calm, dark pink early blooming "Yae Kanku" is at its best.

While many flower buds are still hard, it is a kind of "Noume" that begins to bloom in the cold season, and the middle ring of double-flowered.

The flower garden canola flower is covered with a net and is still curing, but its height has grown considerably, the yellow flower color has become conspicuous, and the landscape of the park has begun to be colored in spring-like colors.

The severe cold continues every day, but it makes me realize that spring is steadily approaching.

 

 

It is "PIZZA SALVATORE CUOMO Higashiginza", a real Italian restaurant located on the first floor of Prime Maison Ginza East, Tsukiji 1-chome.

It faces Heisei Dori and is on the south side of Tsukijibashi.

I visited the lunch menu.

The lunch menu is from 11:00 to 15:00, where you can choose a pizza set and pasta set, both of which have salads, soups, desserts, drinks, and kiln-baked focaccia in today's recommended pizza (pasta).

It seems to be a pitzeria produced by Salvatore Kuomo, a meritorious person who spread Napleli pizza to Japan, and the pizza here is characterized by thin fabric, the surface crispy, the inside is sticky and delicious, but this time I will introduce pasta.

First, salad and soup.

From the pasta you can choose, "Clams, Spring Chrysanthemum, Fried Eggplant Arabiata".

Arabiata is a tomato sauce with a moderately spicy pepper, has a solid volume, and is satisfied.

There's a lot of clams, and there's a focaccia.

This kiln-baked focaccia is also delicious.

You can also choose a drink.

It is a dessert jelly. It is a bite dessert, but it is citrus and refreshes it.

It is a very convenient shop that can be taken out and delivered.

　In this season with little greenery and severe cold weather, near the tide pond in the Hamarikyu Onshi Garden, near the pine Ochiyaya, a beautiful, glossy yellow flower similar to beeswax, `` Soshin Waki Ume '' .

Although the name is "ume", it is a deciduous shrub of the Japanese allspice genus native to China, and is originally a horticultural variety with multicolor flower-colored "waku plum".

The unique texture of the petals that can be seen through warm days. In addition, it is faintly sweet, fruity and refreshing aroma derived from essential oil components such as linalol, Borneool and cineool.

Compared to the early blooming plums that have begun to bloom, the fragrance is stronger and clear, and its fragrant aroma feels at ease.

It seems to be popular not only as a garden tree, but also for ikebana and tea flowers, as well as for bonsai and potted plants.

In addition, "Waku plum" is also blooming in Hanakien.
