The Ginza 2-chome intersection is said to be a "brand intersection", and Bulgari, Louis Vuitton, and Chanel have shops facing the intersection.

The rest of the corner was Cartier (map below, red mouth), and the Okura Main Building, which is being replaced, showed a new building.

The new main building is 12 stories above ground and is scheduled to be completed in the fall of this year.

"Brand Intersection" will soon be revived

At "Gallery Ginza" in Ginza 2-chome, an exhibition of picture frames entitled "Frame Exhibition to decorate and enjoy" is being held.

I thought it would be rare for an exhibition of picture frames, so I went in.

It seems that this was the first time in five years since it was held at this gallery last time.

The creator is Misako Nagano, a decorative flavorer (decorative picture frame).

Mr. Nagano encountered Picture Framing while in London, England, and was fascinated by frame making, and after holding his first solo exhibition in Hong Kong, he started his career as a writer.

Even after returning to Japan, he has been studying the techniques of tempera painting, and has been using it in frame production.

If you look at the works up close, the works that are handmade and carefully made using various techniques while making use of the materials, each one has an atmosphere, and it makes you think exactly "I want to decorate and enjoy" It will me

Mr. Nagano seems to be running a frame class in Ichikawa City, Chiba Prefecture.

The event will be held from Monday, May 30 to June 4 (Sat).

　After the rain, I walked around Ginza, a sunny morning.

Colorful colors have jumped in from the window to shoot sleepy eyes.

　Because it is early in the morning, yellow trash cans and brown kidos may be left.

The gold color of the nearby buildings and the fashionable clothes of the windows are all coming from now on.

For this reason, I feel like I'm releasing the color.　

The willows in front of the Okuno Building are also brightly green.

And then

Enjoy a morning walk from the direction of Yonaiville.

Foreign tourists also walked lightly on the cobblestones of Ichimatsu pattern.

Surrounded by fashionable colors, I felt like I had some courage to do my best today.

In Ginza in the morning, there are few people and it is easy to walk.

There are 24 galleries from Ginza 4-chome to 8-chome.
The "Night Party of the Gallery" is an event that opens all at once from evening to night.

I participated in a tour of the gallery led by a guide.

I went around the four galleries efficiently and touched on various contexts.

Expectations for young artists from the gallery.

The skills and passion of the artist who responds to it.

Creating a periodical space that ranges from newcomers to the masterpieces of the late writer.

A commitment to maintaining Japanese art from a global perspective.

And they are works and products.

For example, kakejiku in Hoitsu Sakai is sold for 500,000 yen.

Sometimes I can meet works that I see at the museum.

There are also hands-on works.

It was about 2 hours in a flash, but
It was an exciting night with casual enjoyment and new discoveries.

The other day, I welcomed a couple from Osaka on my grandson's birthday with Spanish food "Espero".

We had a good meal at a restaurant on the gaslight street.

Beginning with salads, course dishes such as Pinchos of Iberico pork, Ahijo of mushrooms, meat dishes, and Paerilla.

Paintings were also displayed in the store, and the atmosphere was good.

The last is the paella of fun.　

A full smile that delighted the two people from Osaka.

I was glad to take you to this place.
