Kabukiza "July Hanagata Kabuki-Tokaido Yotsuya Kaidan-"

[Tsukiji Nyanko] July 29, 2013 09:00

Yesterday, I watched the evening part of Kabukiza Theater, "Tokaido Yotsuya Kaidan".

Nanboku Tsuruya's masterpiece "Tokaido Yotsuya Kaidan" is a man and woman who are at the mercy of fate and ghosts.

It is a mysterious story depicting obsessions, and features such as "turning door" and "going Japanese lantern" are also highlights.

Since July is Hanagata Kabuki, many young Kabuki actors will appear.

Kikunosuke Onoe plays three roles such as rock.

Iyemon Mintani is Somegoro Ichikawa. Naosuke Gonbei is Shoroku Onoe.

Until last month, there was a three-part system with a drop period, but this month we returned to a two-part system.

Throughout Kyogen "Tokaido Yotsuya Kaidan" is between several intermissions.

I was able to appreciate the story with a slow mood.

A few months have passed since it opened, and some people are going to see Kabuki for the first time.
I think there are many people. For beginners of Kabuki

We recommend that you use the "Earphone Guide".


It explains the outline, highlights, and historical background of the story.
I think it's easier to understand the content by using the earphone guide.

There are also products related to the performance of the month at the souvenir shop.♫

At Kabukiza, he represents Japan such as Shiseido Parlour and Eitaro.

We recommend collaboration products with companies.

Souvenir I thought it would be good for this hot season.

The fan of the collaboration product "Tokaido Yotsuya Kaidan" with the fan Ibasen.

Mr. Iwa's grudgeful expression seems to make me feel cool.

We decided to plant pine, maple and cherry trees for street trees, but not all. Only willows took root.

 

Monument of the lyrics and music of the song "Ginza's willow"

ck1309_2013072312.jpgIn 1710 (1710), on the occasion of the Korean correspondent Edo Sanfu, the Masugatamon was built in Kitazume, Shimbashi, to show the dignity of Japan. This gate was called Shibakuchi Gomon. At the same time, Shimbashi was also temporarily renamed Shibakuchi Bridge.

However, it was burned down in 1724, and since then it has not been rebuilt and the stone walls have been removed. Shibakuchi Bridge returned to the old name of Shimbashi.

A copper plate with the design of the gate at the time. I remember the remnants of the past.

Birthday dinner at Ginza Latour

[Mapo ★] July 27, 2013 09:00

On the birthday of last month, I had a celebration at Ginza Latour in the Kojunsha Building.

 

This is also a shop I wanted to visit for a long time.

The chef is Shimizu, who trained at Tour Jardin in Paris.

If you wish, you can take pictures with the chef or visit the kitchen.

I didn't hope because I'm coming on my birthday today.

The plan I applied for in ozmall today

There are 3 glasses of wine on the course for 15,000 yen (separate).

With French in Ginza, this price is quite affordable for this content!

And if you pay the difference, you can choose a good wine yourself!

This is a great service for wine lovers.★


 

The first cup is a toast with champagne!

And on my bread, such a seal is (*^^*)

In addition, this freshly baked bread is very delicious.

And after the amusement, the appetizer suddenly became foegrass. But I'm very welcome because I love foiegras.

 

R0011869.JPG R0011873.JPG

 

I ordered white here. Puriny Monracche, your favorite barrel sweet type★

However, the next one is the red wine boiled with anako and the tuna grier.

This Montracche was for fish, and I ordered Bordo's red.

It was an easy-to-drink wine that was mainly Merlot and was not so heavy.

 
Next, Isaki's poire, butternut sauce, which was perfect with Montrasseh.

Not only the fish, but also the warm vegetables around them were delicious.

 

R0011875.JPG R0011870.JPG

 

And since the wine is gone, I ordered an additional red.

The main meat was Jublé chambertan.

 

The yogurt sherbet! It was hot and humid on this day, so it tastes good.★

 

And the main one is Maezawa beef Japanese beef serloin grief after all, serloin is delicious ~ (* ^^ *)

After all, the main dish is delicious beef!

 

R0011876.JPG R0011877.JPG

  

And even though the dessert is ahead,

I wanted to eat the cheese I checked on the homepage, so I ordered it separately.

There are a wide variety of things! The wagon was also luxurious, and I think it was the most common store in the past.

From among them, choose your favorite rockfall, kamanvel, and conte.

The skin of Camanbele was apple-flavored, and it was very delicious.

 

 R0011879.JPG R0011880.JPG

 

And finally the cake~ (*^^*)

Actually, there's a wagon dessert or a whole cake in this course.

It was said that the wagon dessert would be gone in June, so I had them both in addition.

 

R0011888.JPG R0011890.JPG

 

 

R0011891.JPGR0011914.JPG

 

I'd like you to take a lot of pictures.

The photos taken with the shop's camera are A4 size.

You can get the printed one as a gift with the chef's signature.

And even though it's the same Ricoh camera, it's set for lighting in the shop.

I was able to shoot well, so I sent you the data by email.

 

 R0011894.JPG R0011895.JPG

 

However, from around here, my stomach seemed to be swaying, and my clothes would break (laughs).

 

I chose about 4 kinds of wagon desserts.

But on this day, it was particularly sultry and the ice and jelly were delicious (* ^^ *).

Herb tea, which seems to be good for digestion, was a bit bitter.

 

R0011896.JPG

  

I thought this time, I went to Ginza quite a bit of Italian and French, but I thought about it.

The shop with a birthday plan is very friendly to the staff.

There are many shops that offer meticulous services.

  

And this Ginza Latour has quite a few girls, which is rare in French, and there are quite a few.

That's a friendly shop (* ^^ *) It was a very satisfying birthday!

[Silver] July 26, 2013 14:00

This year, the new discovery of Chuo-ku "Town Walking Tour" has started.

 

 The courses are divided into "industry" and "culture", and there are courses that visit long-established stores and courses that visit historical sites and famous places. In the "Industrial Course" that visits long-established stores, you may be able to get souvenirs after being introduced to shops and products.  "Ginza Gallery Tour" has been added to this course since last year. You can get an explanation of works by famous painters from the gallery.

 

  On July 18th, we guided our customers as a guide to "Ginza Gallery Tour". The galleries I visited were Akika-dong, Murakoshi Gallery, and Ginza Art.

P1000340.JPG

 At Murakoshi Gallery, we enjoyed the appreciation after receiving an explanation of the work from the owner Mihoko Sakurai.

P1000341.JPG
 At Ginza Art, President Morita has a deep knowledge of history, and explained the relationship between the work and history. Ginza Art is located on the 4th floor of the famous Soraya Building in the middle, and after finishing appreciation of works at the gallery, there were customers who bought the middle with Soraya, this is also one of the pleasures of walking around the city in Ginza.

 

 At Akika-dong, the sales representative explained the amount used for works and Western paintings. Questions from customers were also targeted. Here, I forgot to take a picture from my tension. Please refer to the previous report for the atmosphere of the shop.

A wonderful person I met in the ward-Part 3-"Japan-China friendship is from a familiar place"

[Shitamachi Tom] July 26, 2013 09:00

We will introduce wonderful people from those who live in Chuo-ku or work. This is the third time.
We visited Kenyoshi Hu, an advisor to Iinuma General Law Office, which has an office in Ginza 2-chome, and a doctor of law. Tiffany Building. JPG

 

A stylish [Tiffany] building that attracts a special eye on the main street of Ginza. On the 7th floor, "Iinuma Sogo Law Office" is located. One evening, when I visited Hu here, I was kindly interviewed. I was a little nervous because I was smiling and polite, so I was completely relieved.

 

Hu is from Shanghai, China. After graduating from the prestigious Fudan University, I decided to study abroad. As a result of narrowing down to the United States, Australia, and Japan, it was decided to be Japan. I'm glad you have chosen Japan. However, before studying abroad, he didn't know much about Japan so much, and he could hardly speak Japanese. In such a situation, my head goes down to the action that was decided and executed with courage.

 

Chinese contract. jpg

In Japan, I studied law at Sophia University. I heard that I was able to meet a very good teacher. Since then, he has continued to study law, and now his main job is providing advice and consulting on contracts with foreign countries. A few books have been published. In today's world where overseas business is evolving more and more, it seems that the field of activity is expanding further.

 

 

Tom, "What do you think is necessary for business development overseas?"

Mr. Hu says, "Three of philosophy, business, and law are properly connected."

Tom "Yes. Inadvertently, you may lose your eyes to your immediate interests and lose sight of what you really wanted to do. Philosophy is important."

Mr. Hu, "That's right. If you are wondering, it is important to return to the starting point and think about it. In other words, businesses without "philosophy" will not last long."

 36 Total jpg

As Mr. Hu said, "philosophy is important for business," he seems to be deeply considered about universal values. In fact, he is thinking how to make use of "troop law" that he has been interested in since high school in his business. In addition to "Sanko's Hyoho", which is well-known in Japan, he taught a part of the famous Hyoho Thirty-sixkei. One of the 36, "throwing balls," means "passing unvalued ones to enemies and getting high-value ones," but I think it is certainly a lesson that can be used in modern diplomacy and business. By the way, the phrase "I don't want to escape thirty-six meters" is not directly related to this military law, and it seems that someone used it in the sense of "Escape anyway, rather than military law."

 With Dr. Hu. JPG

When I was talking with Hu, I heard a lot of stories and made me feel very relaxed. I think this is Mr. Hu's personality. Although there are politically jerky parts between Japan and China, I reaffirmed the importance of open and interacting with each other from familiar places. I would like to promote "Japan-China friendship" because it is a neighboring country.

 Mikimoto Lounge. jpg

 

On the way home, Hu told me a "recommended lunch spot". [Mikimoto Lounge] located on the 3rd floor of [Mikimoto Boutique] in the same Ginza 2-chome. It is said that you can enjoy a relaxing and rich lunch time for 1,500 yen. Yeah, it certainly looks nice, but it feels hard for a man alone to enter. But I decided to visit it once.

 

 

After finishing a refreshing conversation with Hu, I stepped into the town of Ginza, and the stylish taste of the city fluttered in the lightness of summer evenings.

 

 

Ginza Kyobunkan "Primage Trip"

[Ashuan husband] July 25, 2013 09:00

On the day when the intense heat took a break, I went to Ginza for business reasons and stopped by a bookstore, Kyobunkan in Ginza. At the landing on the stairs to the second floor, I found an exhibition entitled "Primage Trip". The flyer for the July issue of the bookstore says, "Would you like to start on a pilgrimage trip around this summer with a book?"

 

DSC_2174.JPG

 

"Walking on the highway" is an interesting theme for me. There are many books on overseas pilgrimages as well as pilgrimage to ancient temples in various parts of Japan. There were a few books on the Spanish Santiago Pilgrimage Route I walked this spring.

 

 DSC_2170.JPG

When I looked at some books as paraparagles by a beautiful cover, a passage on the narrow path of Basho's Oku, saying, "I'm afraid of drifting over one cloud, rather than any year." I crossed my head. It's a fun project just by looking at it. Despite the recent intense heat, I thought, "Oh, I want to go on a journey."

 

It is said that this exhibition will be held until the end of July.
