　On the calendar, the season called "Daikan".　On a walk in Tsukiji, we visited Tsukiji 4-chome, a shop specializing in Japanese and Western tableware near Kyobashi Post Office, "Selling Shop" in a yellow building.

Inside the store, there are Inoguchi in the shape of Mount Fuji, and famous dishes from all over Japan, such as Kutani porcelain and Arita porcelain.

Today, I found a warm-colored pottery that would be warm just by looking at it.

　Immediately, if you make hot water for shochu at home and hold it with your palm, you will feel warm and it is completely different from the usual cup with a handle.

The product name I purchased is "Red Yuzu Tenme Long Cup".　I recognized winter tableware in winter.　

The address of the shop is 4-7-2 Tsukiji, Chuo-ku, and the URL is http://urikiriya.co.jp.

　On January 21, the Tokyo Regional Meteorological Observatory reported "Plum Flowering", one of the Japan Meteorological Agency's biological seasonal observation information.

5 days earlier than normal and 2 days later than last year.

The flowering of Bairin in the Hamarikyu Onshi Garden has not yet been heard, but the early blooming "Yae Kanku", which is planted between the former Inao Shrine and the flower garden, is beginning to bloom.

The middle ring of the double-flowered, which is said to be one of the "Noume" varieties that bloom during the cold season, is dark pink.

On this day, the wind from the north blows in the city center, and the temperature at noon is 9.1 ° C, giving a sweet scent in the cold of midwinter, and the dignified flower appearance is impressive.

The flower garden canola flower was covered with a net and is still curing, but its height grew considerably, the yellow flower color became conspicuous, shining in the blue sky of the background, and began to be colored in a spring-like color scheme.

It makes me realize that spring is steadily approaching.

 

 

If you want to take a sightseeing test for the first time in a while, purchase the latest version of "Monoshiri Encyclopedia" and look at the 10th sightseeing test problem of spelling, ask. 52 says, "Beside the Chuo-ku government office annex, there is an explanatory version showing that there was a clan residence of the Tosa clan near Tsukiji 1-2-chome in the late Edo period. It is said that Sakamoto Ryoma, the priest of late Tokugawa shogunate, went to a dojo of a swordsman while sleeping in this clan residence. Who of the following is this swordsman?" That's right.

　

　Indeed, on page 69 of Monoshiri Encyclopedia, "It is said that late Tokugawa shogunate's Shishi Sakamoto Ryoma went to the dojo of Sadakichi Chiba while staying at this clan's residence." If you remember this part accurately, you can easily give a correct answer, but it would be a little difficult to read so carefully. However, only too easy problems will lead to a series of high scorers, and it can be felt that the questions are quite devised.

　Regarding this, as I posted on November 25, last year, if you read "Ryoma Goes", you will be able to get the correct answer very easily.

/archive/2018/11/post-5839.html

　

　Once again, I quote the relevant part of "Ryoma Goes" (Ryotaro Shiba is described as "Chiba Sadayoshi").

　"Ryoma was moved from a clan residence in Kajibashi to a clan residence in Tsukiji. In addition to Ryoma, most of the Wakai clansman were moved to two lower houses in Tsukiji and Shinagawa. This is one of the Tosa clan's defenses in preparation for the invasion of Kurofune Edo Bay. While the number of people was stationed at these two seaside mansions, they were building a Daiba in Shinagawa with the permission of the Shogunate. " (Bunshun Bunko Volume; Page 169)

　"``````````````````` After all, in order to make a great success, it is better to learn a great style. For that, the Kitashinichi sword style is good. "Oh, don't you be a teacher of Shusaku Chiba." The Xuanwu-kan in Chiba is said to be the three major dojos in Edo, along with Shunzo Momoi on the banks of Kyobashi clams and Yakuro Saito in Kojimachi, and divided the swords of the world into three parts. "... It's best to learn from Mr. Shusaku, but since he's already in old age, it's good to be used by Mr. Sadayoshi, his younger brother who has a dojo in Kyobashi Okemachi. Sadayoshi's dojo is called Kochiba against Otamagaike Pond's Ochiba." (Bunshun Bunko 1 volume; page 18)

 

 

Hello, this is Minato kid.
Chuo Ward has three Chuo Ward libraries: Kyobashi Library, Nihonbashi Library, and Tsukishima Library.

Today, I would like to introduce the "Sankun Garden" that spreads in front of the entrance of the Chuo Ward Kyobashi Library.

The Sankun Garden of Kyobashi Library in Chuo Ward is a large space with a sense of openness, located one step down from the sidewalk. In this way, a garden located lower than the ground is called the sunken garden in architectural terms. There are stairs and slopes, so it is convenient when you come by bicycle, stroller, wheelchair, etc.

♪　The flowers of Sankun Garden

In the Sankun Garden, there are round flower beds. It is always neat, and seasonal flowers greet us gently.

In each flowerbed, a shrubs of the cypress family stands as a symbol, and flowers are planted around it.

This season, cyclamen Pansy, Sweet Alissam Margaret Viola and others are blooming vividly. During the Christmas season, the flower beds are decorated with ribbons to make you feel fun.

♪　Bulletin board of Sankun Garden

In addition, there is a bulletin board at the Sankun Garden of Kyobashi Library in Chuo Ward.

Here, various photos are displayed on a regular basis, introducing the history and townscape of Chuo-ku.
"Web Gallery Chuo City Library Collection" on the Chuo City Library website is introduced on paper.

The handmade bulletin board is warm and seems to soften the viewer.

♪　History of Chuo Ward Kyobashi Library
The current building of the Chuo Ward Kyobashi Library is integrated with the Chuo-ku government office, designed by Takeo Sato, completed in 1969 (1969).

The history of the Chuo Ward Kyobashi Library is old and dates back to 1910 (1910). It was the beginning of the Tokyo City Kyobashi Simple Library, which was opened at Kyobashi Hirone Elementary School. It was in 1929 (1929) that I moved to my current location.

It is one of the best libraries in Tokyo, with many books published before the war due to escape from the war and holding valuable materials. In addition, the regional reference room has materials related to Chuo-ku, as well as materials from the 23 wards of Tokyo and the Tama area.

As of April 2018, the Chuo Ward Kyobashi Library has 345,000 books, 253 magazines, 8733 CDs and DVDs, 19 newspapers, and 166 seats.

On the way home from choosing your favorite book, be sure to look at the flowers of Sankun Garden.

There is a building lined with Earthly Branches sculptures on the wall opposite Kyobashi Tsukiji Elementary School in Tsukiji 1-chome. The name is "Tsukiji Eto Building". The building was completed in 1996. The 3rd floor and above are ordinary office buildings, but the 1st and 2nd floors have a classic stone appearance.

At the beginning of the Year of the Pig, I felt good luck this year, and prayed that the blog and tour would go well.

There was a carillon object at the corner of the building, which signaled noon, and in the future it may be included in the architectural tour guide in Chuo-ku.
