 This spring, when I traveled to Kanmon Straits, Kintai-kyo Bridge and Hiroshima Prefecture in Yamaguchi Prefecture, I got tourist information and maps at an antenna shop in Chuo-ku, and enjoyed a fun trip.
In Kanmon Straits, "Kanmon TOPPA! It is a commemorative certificate that obtained the "Commemorative Certificate" and passed the age of 60 safely.

In Hiroshima, we visited Itsukushima-jinja Shrine in World Heritage, Hiroshima Peace Memorial Park and the museum.

And this time I will visit Urabandai and Ouchi-juku in Fukushima Prefecture.
We obtained tourist information and maps at the Yaesu Tourist Exchange Center in Fukushima 2-6-21 Yaesu on Sotobori Street.
I was told a lot about Yae no Sakura before, but recently NHK's Taiga drama series ended, so I haven't been there for a while.

　You can visit the Kyoto Museum to get information about Kyoto, and also purchase a reference book for the Kyoto Examination here.

The other day, an acquaintance appeared, so I went to Ginza Noh Theater. Located alongside Sony Building along outer moat Street (Ginza 6-chome 5-15).

This Noh theater is located on the 8th floor of a building characterized by windows, so it is the highest Noh theater.

Furthermore, since Ginza is located in a high land price, it is the tallest Noh theater in Japan in two ways.

The Kanze Noh Theater, located in Shoto, Shibuya Ward, is now in the redevelopment complex on the site of the site of Matsuzakaya in 2016.
It seems that it will be relocated with the completion of the building.

 

Ginza is the land where the residence of the Kinharu family, a Noh actor directly under the Shogunate during the Edo period.
In the future, when speaking of Noh, the age of Ginza may come.

 

 

 

The climate is quite autumn.

I was invited by the refreshing air and went for a walk.

Speaking of a walk in Chuo-ku ... after all, it's "silver Bra"!

This day is a holiday! Chuo-dori in Ginza is a pedestrian paradise.

The scenery of Ginza is changing every moment, but it's time to day.

The symbol of the Ginza 4-chome intersection is still alive.

If you look around, there are many popular shops and famous brand shops.

As expected, it was the lively atmosphere of Ginza.

Now, today we will go straight along Chuo-dori and aim for Nihonbashi.

On the way, I passed through Kyobashi, and found a monument to the birthplace of Edo Kabuki beside it!

It's Nihonbashi Takashimaya that you can see if you go further.

I'm going on more and more

Finally, Nihonbashi!

The kirin statue in the center of the bridge is still a popular shooting spot.

When you cross the bridge, you can see the topic of Cored Muromachi.

But ... there is a very busy place next to it ...

It was "Nihonbashi Shimanekan"!

Is that player's Fever who was very active in the US Open? It's a great success!

"Shimanekko" welcomes you and goes inside.

What! There is an empty case ...

Maybe the "throat" sold out?

The Lion on the other side was a little surprised ...

As mentioned above, the autumn walk in Chuo-ku was full of highlights!

 

 

　From September 1st to 6th, "Shadowbox Miss Yabuki Works Exhibition" was held at St. Luke's First Gallery.

It's the first time I hear the word "shadow box". I saw the work with great interest. First of all, I was deeply moved by the words of the greeting.

    　　　　 Greetings

Thank you very much for visiting Shadow Box Mrs. Yabuki Akie's work exhibition.

When I was holding my first solo exhibition this time, I was quite wondering which works I would like to exhibit.

Each work has its own memories, and I once again recall the 33 years since I started the shadow box.

Thank you very much for being able to present in this way.

We hope you will have a memorable time for everyone.

Please take a look at it.

And welcome board at the entrance

In the work, many pieces of the same picture are cut and pasted up and down to give a three-dimensional effect, and it has a very solid feeling.

I saw some of the works from the front.

When I saw the work diagonally, I saw it

It was only a wonderful work, and also a very elegant and gentle teacher, I wanted to learn.
