If you look at Kabukiza to the left and walk along Harumi-dori St., you will go to the intersection of Mannen Bridge.

Ginza Park on the left of the intersection.

Looking at the left hand from the street, you can see a cute dog parent and child statue.

It's a famous dog Chirori Monument.

The owner speaks to the dog, strokes it, and when the dog looks at the owner,

"Oxytoxin": Hormones that feel safe in each other's bodies:　

Will increase.

Utilizing it, mental stability, improvement of dementia, and cerebral infarction.

A lot of therapy dogs are now active, such as encouraging recovery of sequelae.

When crossing the intersection, look at the lovely "Tyori" and their children's statues.

After completing the errand and looking at the PR poster, I saw the announcement of the "25th anniversary event of the opening of the Ginza-dori Post Office".

From April 15th, the "Miffy Exhibition" commemorating the 60th anniversary of the birth has been held at Matsuya Ginza in Ginza 3-chome.

It is an event square on the 8th floor of Matsuya Ginza.

Miffy was created 60 years ago by Dick Bruna, a picture book writer born in Utrecht, the Netherlands. By the way, the name in my home country Netherlands is "Ninece Prus" (surprisingly).

To date, more than 120 picture books have been published and translated into about 50 languages worldwide, making them more than 85 million copies of long-selling books.

In this exhibition, Bruna's early works, original drawings, sketches, etc. are exhibited.

Bruna's creative scenery was also shown in the video.

In addition, the original picture of "First Miffy" ("Sasako-chan" (first edition) drawn for the first time in 1955 was released for the first time in the world.

In addition, from the 60th anniversary project "Miffy Art Parade", a 180-cm-high statue of Miffy, designed by 15 Japanese creators, has been unveiled for the first time. One of them is on display at the entrance.

I think it's a good exhibition that everyone can warm up, not to mention Miffy lovers, so when you come to Ginza, please drop in and there are plenty of sales corners for goods.

The last day of this exhibition is May 10 (Sun).

On the left side of the street leading from Ginza 2-chome, Showa-dori to Kamei Bridge and Tsukiji Police Station, there is a shop of Natural Lawson, and on the first basement floor of the building (Ginza Otsuka Building), there is the gallery "Megumi Ogita Gallery".

Currently, there is an exhibition "Kengo Nakamura Encyclopedia-Focusing on works from the 10's" by contemporary art writer Kengo Nakamura is being held.

Kengo Nakamura is a person who has created unique paintings inspired by motifs familiar to us living in modern society, and when you enter the venue, you will first see a large work made of e-mail e-mail e-facements. You can jump into your eyes.

The theme drawn with Japanese painting materials, such as rock paints, pigments, and Japanese paper, is completely different from Japanese painting's traditional Kachofugetsu, e-mail e-mail emoji, which symbolizes "now", the blowout of manga, and the silhouette of manga characters.

As you approach the work, you can clearly see the deep feel of the rock paint, such as the sandy feeling and the glossing.

"In my creative activities, I value the feeling of" living now ". ・・ ・ Contemporary art also feels a sense of mission as a writer in Nakamura's words, "The work of a writer who lives now ...", and anyway, every work lives "now" It was easy to get close to "I" and it was fun to see.

If you look at the work above, you can see it.

"Kengo Nakamura Encyclopedia-Focusing on works from the 10's" is held from Friday, April 3 to April 25 (Sat).

The opening hours of the Megumi Ogita Gallery are from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm (Sun, Monday, and holidays).

＊Thank you for your understanding in advance regarding photography in the gallery.

As soon as you enter the street behind Matsuya Ginza from Ginza 3-chome, Marronnier Street, there is a specialty store for wildflowers and tea flowers, Nonohanaji.

In this shop, wild "field flowers" that are not cultivated are sold (some are cultivated)

These wild grasses are sent directly to shops from more than 10 locations nationwide (from Tohoku in the north to Kyushu in the south). The shop has more than 50 kinds of wild flowers.

When you enter the shop, it smells very nice of seasonal flowers.

However, the atmosphere of the shop is completely different from the usual () florists. There is a feeling of "wa". In addition, because the color of the flowers is not swaying, just staying in the shop feels calm and healed.

On the second floor of the shop, there is a cafe space "Chabo" and a gallery "Spaceji".

In "Chabo", it seems that "Noyama feast" made by cooking wild vegetables etc. in a tsukudani style and homemade sweetness are prepared. It seems to be a space where you can relax slowly, so I would like to visit you next time.

In addition, about photography, we had consent from shop. Thank you for your cooperation m(__)m
