Tsukiji Honganji Summer Evening "Goen Festa" There is also July 7th.

[Silver] July 7, 2016 09:00

 July 7 is Tanabata, but it seems that it was held in the lunar calendar in the past, so couldn't the weaver (Vega) and Toushi (Altar) meet until August? Well, the common theory is that you can only meet once a year. We humans on earth may have little romance because we can easily meet them. If you don't, write your wish on a strip, hang it on bamboo leaves, and pray that your request will come true. Yeah,

While thinking a little about such things, I went to Tsukiji Honganji summer evening "Goen Festa".

There was a towed cow. Go up the stone steps to main hall and go to the left.

 This is the world's animal design collected by Dr. Chuta Ito, who was involved in the construction of Tsukiji Honganji Temple. There are 14 objects, including fictional animals, and this printed matter can be found in main hall.

 

By the way, today, a lot of ladies and cute children who were not weaving women participated in the "Goen Festa", enjoyed Bon Odori, and enjoyed the delicious things of Tsukiji.

 

And Bon Odori was performed along with the sound of a fun drum.

 A chat while tasting the delicious things of Tsukiji. It was a good time to go over the word. International exchange progressed with tourists from Canada sitting on the same table, asking questions about the purpose of visiting Japan, the length of stay, and the schedule of Bon Odori to be held soon. It was time to say goodbye, and we were asked for a commemorative photo, and we also included in the photo.

 The fun "Goen Festa" is also available on July 7th.

 

 

 

Ginza / summer bargain

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] July 6, 2016 14:00

The summer bargain season has come.

It is a seasonal feature that you can enjoy in the city.

There are various expressions such as "sale", "bargen", "bargen sales", "SOLDES", etc., but it has been established as an annual event as a mechanism to attract customers to the store during the hot season.

Because of its partnership with the world-famous traditional department store "Plantan" in Paris, France, Plantan Ginza has the word "SOLDES" (French sale) in the back of "LAST Summer The Bergen".

The meaning of the word "LAST" in the head is probably because Plantan Ginza closed its trade name and trademark contract with Plantan on December 31 this year and changed the store name from January next year.

By the way, in France, it seems that the sale time is determined by law, and the summer sale is from late June to late July every year.

It's just about the departure time of Vacans, so many people buy clothes for Vacans on sale.

Regarding Mitsukoshi, it seems that it will start on Wednesday, July 13 with the name "Summer Clearance Sale" a little later.

If you look at these signs in the city, you can feel that the hot (hot) season has come again.

Hanada Art Understanding Children's Art Education

[Silver] July 4, 2016 18:00

This time, I will be accompanied by a junior high school student sketching party.

I received it from Art Hanada, who visited at the gallery's night party in May.

When I talked about wanting to refer to a collection of paintings called Yoshitaka Kuroiwa Painting Exhibition-Aiding for Landscapes-, I was pleased to agree and received a wonderful collection.

I feel that the works, such as "Summer Day Good Wind" and "Kisuge Morning", will also carry the refreshing Oze wind.  On July 2nd, I saw you again today.

 I would like the children to see good works and to improve their sensitivity. Thank you very much, Mr. Hanada.

Please see here for the "Night Party of the Gallery" in May.

Wish on strips (Tanabata decoration of Tokyo Metro)

[Sunflower Rabbit] July 4, 2016 12:00

July 7 was Tanabata festival

A total of 11 stations on the Tokyo Metro are decorated with Tanabata bamboo decorations.

There are three stations in Chuo-ku: Nihombashi Station, Ginza Station, and Hatchobori Station.

Each station has strips and pens.

Anyone can easily participate in commuting or going to school along with outings.

Why don't you write a wish?

 

■Nihombashi Station (next to Exit B0 ... There is also the entrance of Takashimaya nearby)

Birthday dinner at Loojie in Ginza

[Mapo ★] July 4, 2016 09:00

To "Loojie" in Ginza, which I longed for this birthday.

At the restaurant, all photos are prohibited.
I handed the camera to the staff and had everything taken.
I'm really good!

 

This time, I was able to enjoy the meal without worrying about the photos.

 

All the dishes are artistic, beautiful and delicious.♪
Chef Olivier Shenyon came around.
I thought I would speak it in French.
I'm very good at Japanese, so I don't speak much (laughs).
He seems to be from the Loire.

 

Another great thing about Loojie's service is that
You can drink a lot of wine in a glass.

 

If the master doesn't drink much, he would give him a quarter of the glass;
I also had 1/2 and drank 8 kinds according to the dishes.
It was great to enjoy various mariages of food and wine.★

And even though the staff's service is perfect, there is no gap.
Everyone was very friendly and not stiff.

 

It seems that birthday cake is also made from a sponge.

It was very delicious to eat the next day!

There were so many kinds of cheese, so I could enjoy wine with cheese alone.★

I was able to have a very good birthday.

 

By the way, Prime Minister Abe's mother is near my birthday with me.
It was written somewhere that this year I had a birthday in Loojiie.
