 The maximum temperature in the city center on April 12 was 25.9 ° C, the second summer day this year, the out-of-season warmth comparable to late June. At Botanen in the Hamarikyu Garden, a button (peony) called the "king of Hundred Flowers" and "Kao" is beginning to bloom as soon as possible.
I hear that the buttons in the park are 800 strains of about 60 species.
Buttons have been used as motifs of various crafts and paintings since ancient times as a flower that symbolizes beauty, and while emitting an overwhelming presence among the flowers that bloom at this time, one by one that is thin enough to be ephemeral if you look closely It is delicate that the petals overlap multiple layers. Flower shapes are diverse, such as single, Yae, Senju, Manju, and Lion blooming, and the flower color is also rich in purple, red, black, red (red), light red, white, yellow, covering, bottom red (the bottom of the petals) There are also flower patterns such as dark red) and squeezing.
The gorgeous flower shape with plenty of volume gives an elegance and personality.

Nice to meet you. This is "Minatokko-chan" who joined the correspondent this year. Thank you very much.

When I first came to Chuo-ku, I was surprised that the sidewalk was beautiful. There are many sidewalks paved to make it easy to walk, various colors and patterns, street trees lined up, bicycle lanes, cute pictures, etc. You. Please let me introduce the wonderful sidewalks found in Chuo-ku.
♪Welcome to the sidewalk museum! In Chuo-ku, there are nicknames on various streets. It seems that there is a wish that it will be an easy-to-understand way for residents of the city in their lives. There are a total of 98 routes, including 43 routes in the Kyobashi area, 45 routes in the Nihonbashi area, and 10 routes in the Tsukishima area.

First of all, this is the sidewalk of Minato 1-chome. At my feet, I found a picture of a gun. There seems to be various theories why this town came to be called "gungunsu". One is that the riverbank from the mouth of Hatchobori to Akashicho was shaped like a gun (matchlock musket's tube). The other is that Masatsugu Inoue and Naoken Inatomi, who played the shogunate artillery, played a trial shot of the large cylinder (currently near Minato 3-chome).

This is the sidewalk of St. Luke Street. Meiji period, a pattern that tells you that this was a foreign settlement, decorates your feet. The illustrations that show the characteristics of the region are charming.


The top is the sidewalk of Tsukiji River Park and Akatsuki Bridge. The characters were hidden here. The letters of the block are assembled with "flower azalea of the ward", and a picture of red azalea is expressed on top of it. On the other side of the sidewalk, a pattern indicating east, west, north and south was shaped. It's interesting!
There were other sidewalks where the flower azaleas of the city were drawn.

This is a street near Chuo-ku government office.

This is St. Luke Street.
Well, do you know the snail mark?

This pattern is set up on the "History and Culture Promenade" course maintained by Tokyo from 1983 to 1995. This promenade has 23 courses in Tokyo, with a total of 240.5 km.
There was also a nice sidewalk on the bridge.

This is Tsukuda-ohashi Bridge. From a distance, it looks like the sparkling waves. I play harmony with the Sumida River flowing through my feet.

This is "Aioi Bridge". It expresses the swell of the waves.
The paved sidewalk is hard to slip on rainy days and is easy for anyone to use. Chuo-ku is a pedestrian-friendly town, isn't it?
So far, I've introduced Minato kid's well known path. I want to walk in Chuo-ku, cherishing the road that I have never walked, the place I have never been to, and the encounter with the road in the future. .

April 8 is Historical Buddha's birthday. In Buddhism, it is a celebration day called "Kanbutsue". It is generally called "Flower Festival" and is popular. In addition, it is also called the Birthday Party (Gotane), the Buddha Party (Bushoe), the Buddha Party (Goodbutsue), the Ryukakai (Ryugee), and the Hanakai ceremony (Hanaeshiki).
Every year, Tsukiji Honganji celebrates this day with a warm atmosphere. This year, the day overlapped on Sunday and was blessed with good weather, and many people visited.
 The children of the young children were also lovely, and the practice of applying sweet tea to Buddha statues according to tradition was also delicious.
Japan is an overwhelmingly large number of Buddhists, but it seems that this traditional event has become less conscious in recent years. The birth festival of Jesus Christ seems a bit plain compared to being quite flashy, but is that the virtue of Historical Buddha again?
It's full of spring now. The spirit of respect for living things is a universal value that goes beyond religion and culture. It may be a season that fosters appreciation in many natural features.
