Goshogawara and Tachinetaketa (Tachi Nebuta) were exhibited at Sony Square (outdoor event space) in the Ginza Sony Building facing the Sukiyabashi intersection.

The height was 23 meters (it seems to be full-scale), and even if it was placed in Ginza, which is lined with tall buildings, the impact was strong.

The purpose of this is to promote Aomori Prefecture with the opening of Okutsugaru-Imabetsu Station, the northernmost station in Honshu on the Hokkaido Shinkansen (scheduled for March 26).

By the way, Imabetsu-cho, where the station is located, has a population of about 2,800, and the locals sing "the smallest Shinkansen town in Japan"

On the 21st (Monday/holiday), when I went to Sony Square, a lively music was also played.

Also, on the wall of the Sony Building, there was a huge signboard of "Blue Sky Bolt", which was evaluated as a special A rice in Aomori Prefecture.

From March 18th (Friday), a group exhibition "Sakura Momo Yakyoku" by three doll artists has been held at "Ginkei Saron & Gallery" in Ginza 1-chome.

The three doll writers are Akimiko, Mai Ebata, and Kuro Ogawa. A doll inspired by Mr. Shumiya's "Flower Fairy", a doll inspired by Mr. Ehata's spider, a doll set by "sister and brother", and a new doll of Ogawa's "Beautiful Boy" are on display.

Shumiya's work

Ebata's work

Ogawa's work

The difference between the author and the doll was clear, and each one was attractive to each one.

I'm looking into it.

Opening hours are from 13:00 to 19:00.

Sunday and public holidays. Admission is free.

The entrance is at the arrow.

The period is until March 30 (Wednesday).

The location is on the map below, red circle.

Hiroshi Aramata's treasured art deco art exhibition is being held.

Mr. Aramata is a naturalist, novelist, collector, mystic scholar, youkai critic, and someone else who seems to be a great man.

This exhibition commemorates the publication of the work and biography collection "Gedada Viina and" Mystery Model "(Shinshokan), which is the culmination of Aramata's exploration, and has been collected for 20 years. This is the first exhibition in Japan to display Geada's works.

The art deco paintings on display are beautiful in color, the composition is novel, and it does not make you feel old at all.

The exhibition period is from March 21 (Mon./holiday) to 26 (Sat).

The venue "Ginza Modern Art" is located on the 6th floor of the Okuno Building in Ginza 1-chome.

The Okuno Building is a historic apartment building that is 80 years old.

The exterior, elevators (pictured below), stairs, etc. have an atmosphere, and are still used in galleries, ateliers, offices, etc.

At the Ginza Sony Building, which is a corner of the Sukiyabashi intersection, "Michael Jackson" Off the Wall "feel with High Reso" is being held.

This is to commemorate the release of Michael Jackson's Off the Wall: Deluxe Edition.

The period is from Monday, March 7 to March 27 (Sun).

At OPUS on the 8th floor, you can listen to music videos of typical Off-the-Wall songs on a large 200-inch screen and high-resolution audio (High Resolution) sound source.

Michael's voice was very powerful.

The digest video of the documentary film "Michael Jackson's Journey: from Motor-Unto-Off the Wall" is also shown in high-resolution sound sources.

When I was young, Michael's interview video was played, and I was very familiar.

In the entrance hall on the first floor, large figures such as Michael Jackson from Madame Tussas Tokyo are on display for eight days from March 20th (Sun) to 27th (Sun).
