Edo's specialty

[Slow of Satsuki's Koi] August 25, 2016 09:00

It is said that "Edo's specialty samurai bonito daimyo Koji Hirokoji tea shop purple fire extinguisher Nishiki-e fire middle up in a fight against Iseya Inari and a dog's lie."

 

●Samurai

It seems that there were many samurai in the town of Edo, but "Kidai Shoran" depicts the lives of the common people of Edo, but since there is no memory of samurai also appearing, I will review it again soon .

●Bonito

As you know, is it true that "I ate even if I put my kami in quality"?

According to the story of fish, the fish market currently in Tsukiji is in Nihonbashi until the Great Kanto Earthquake, and it seems that it was crowded with being called "Asasen Ryo Fish Bank". By the way, it seems that these are called "Edo 3,000 Ryo" and "Night Senryo Yoshihara". At the foot of Nihonbashi, there is a monument to the origin of the fish market.

●Daimyokoji

It is said that it refers to the area around Marunouchi to Otemachi where there were many daimyo mansions. In this situation, there is an aerial photograph near Tokyo Station in the underground concourse of Mitsukoshimae Station, and if you look at it, the division of the town is clear at a glance. You can clearly see Samurai residence and the town of the townspeople. (Marunouchi side: Daimyoyashiki Yaesu side: townspeople) Please see here along with "Kidai Shoran".

●Hirokoji

A wide road. I think this path of Hirodai Shoran is one of Hirokoji Temples. In this street, near the Tokaido Ginza, the Hibiya and Tsukiji sides of the street seem to have been reclaimed later and seem to be slightly lower, but I do not understand well in this photo. Look at it with your own eyes.

Armani Jeans' affordable eco-enamel Thoth

[Mapo ★] August 24, 2016 14:00

The Armani Tower in Ginza has a lounge on the 5th floor.
I often use it at restaurants on the 10th floor.
I often get on the elevator from the second basement floor.
I found such a cute bag in front of the elevator.

At first I thought it was 190,000, but it was 19440 yen!
Three out of four people bought impulse (laughs).

 

Because it is made of eco-enamel and Armani jeans.
It's a little affordable, isn't it?
 
It is easy to hold even on rainy days, and A4 can contain a lot.
There are small sizes and about 8 colors.★

Riki Osako's Short Movie Screening [Ginza Sony Building]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] August 24, 2016 09:00

After mid-August, I suddenly feel lonely that the summer is over, and I look for something I overlooked at a summer event.

On the 8th floor of the Ginza Sony Building, which is a corner of the Sukiyabashi intersection, "Communication Zone OPUS", a 4K video & Hi-Reso sound source Osako Riki Short Movie is screened.

sonys007.JPG

The screening title is "Crying Beginning and the Sea of Courage", which is about 10 minutes each time.

The vividness and beauty of the images in the sea are wonderful.

Fish from the sea of Okinawa are swimming in the large aquarium in the outdoor event space "Sony Square" on the 1st floor, but the short movie screened on the 8th floor also depicts the mysterious summer experience of boys that unfolds on the stage of Okinawa Churaumi.

sonys005.JPG

The screening will be held until August 28 (Sun).

You are free to enter and exit short movies.

I'm still in time.

In addition, "Sony Showroom" and "Sony Store Ginza" on the 1st to 4th floors of the Sony Building were temporarily closed on Sunday, August 28 due to relocation, and "GINZA PLACE (Ginza Place)" at the Ginza 4-chome intersection It is said that the store is scheduled to open on September 24 (Sat).

Police Museum is closed until spring 2017

[Silver] August 23, 2016 18:00

 I think the Police Museum is a very good environment where you can learn about the police system from the Meiji government. It is also a place where children are pleased, such as the experience of a white motorcycle police officer.

So, I wanted to teach you and your children as a place for free study during summer vacation.

Unfortunately, it is suspended due to the renewal work.

The museum will be closed until the spring of 2017. I'm going to visit the renovated police museum with my grandchildren.

 

 

I would like to experience it once, a mysterious party on the street of Ginza. The Golden Spring Festival Tiger's Roll!

[Shiba Inu] August 23, 2016 12:00

IMG_4148.jpg

Did you know that a Noh festival called "Noh Noh Kinharu Festival" is held in Ginza once a year in August?

Various events such as Noh lectures and parent-child experience classes will be held around Kinharu-dori in Ginza for five days. The big bird is the street dedication Noh performed on Kinharu Street!



The precious performances performed in the dusk are truly worth a look. I would like to see it once....But I don't have much information in advance so I can't get back....I think there are some people. For such a person! This time, I would like to briefly introduce a series of flows for observing the street dedication Noh.



IMG_4149.jpgIt's Kinharu Street, the venue for the Golden Spring Festival. The location is as follows. The station is close to Shimbashi.



IMG_4579.jpg

It is free to visit Noh at the venue, but since it is usually a full thanks and you will not be able to enter the venue, you will receive a numbered ticket (seat reservation ticket) from the person in charge in advance. A numbered ticket will be distributed per person on Kinharu Street from 4:00 pm on the day....But it's probably too late to go at four o'clock. At 2 o'clock, there are already about 10 waiting queues (however, this waiting column is voluntary, and the operation will maintain it after 3 o'clock).



It's this procession at 4:00 pm when the distribution starts!



IMG_4073.jpg

The block is lined up all the time.



If you get the numbered ticket safely, you're free to rest. It's okay if you're back to your seat by five forty-five p.m. The performance starts at six p.m. If you do not return to your seat by time, the reserved ticket will be invalidated and will be handed over to others.

Near the venue, Toyo Iwaine (very recommended!) There are many things, so there is no shortage of walking until time.



Here's the point!



The numbered ticket is a seat reservation ticket, so the person in charge will adjust when distributing it. You may ask your preference in a vacant seat. However, there is also a balance such as the number of consecutive numbers, so it is not always possible to say that "it is better to line up early".

First of all, in the front row, people involved and schools sit down. In general, you will sit in a vacant seat after that. Therefore, there is a great possibility that "one person who came later" will be a better seat than "the three people who were lined up earlier".

In addition, if there are vacant seats even after the start time, those who do not have a numbered ticket with reserved seats will be passed sequentially. And the vacant seats are "seats related parties". Then, the person who happened to be there without being lined up at all and went to the front row! ! What a thing can happen. In the unlikely event of such a disappointing situation, don't get angry...Don't be sad...I also need Men Tal (laughs).



Even in narrow passages between seats, those who do not have a numbered ticket will sit on a cushion and watch. Fortunately, you may be able to go to the front row. Conversely, if the timing is right, there is a possibility that you can tour without waiting for a numbered ticket.



Well, it's the venue that has been set up.

An altar made in the back.



IMG_4150.jpg

It is a bit difficult and difficult to understand to take a picture of the entire venue with a camera, so please take a look at this overall picture.



fds.jpg

It is such a arrangement, so you may understand somehow, but it is basically not so good from the general audience! ! ! This is inevitable because the Golden Spring Festival dedication is not a box office but a Shinto ritual, and there are schools. However, as "I can't see it more than I thought", you can see it roughly, and there is a kneading procession at the beginning, so you can see the performers up close there!



IMG_4152.jpg

IMG_4153.jpg

Shooting is prohibited once the performance starts. Some people keep taking pictures even if they are warned, but I think it's a bad act to take pictures of Shinto ritual casually without permission....。



The performance time is about an hour. You can enjoy valuable performances that you can not usually see with commentary from experts. Anyway, I'm overwhelmed by the atmosphere. At the time of encounter, the appearance of stepping on an old performance in the neon lights of Ginza is truly mysterious. There is a sound of shadows and clothing, and even if you can't see the performer, there may be something that can be transmitted.




After the performance, visitors will also visit altar.



IMG_4156.jpg

I have to get a seat with a lot of trouble....There is a hurdle, but I think it will be a valuable experience. Think about willows in Ginza.

You can also get a nice brochure.

Gentlely watered coffee [Sanjuma Ginza Main Store]

[Dimini ☆ Cricket] August 21, 2016 09:00

This is an introduction of Sanjuma Ginza Main Store, a coffee shop where you can drink watering coffee quietly.

The location is Ginza 3-chome, behind Matsuya Ginza, or Oji Paper's Oji Holdings Main Building, facing diagonally across Matsuya Street, on the first basement floor of the Daihiro Asahi Building.

sanji001.JPG

The red flag that stands out in the photo above is one of the tours of Ginza Seven Lucky Gods and Ginza Hatcho Shrine, "Asahi Inari Shrine", and there is a shrine in the same building.

Some of the first and second floors of the building are worship hall with a stairwell, and the main hall is laid on the roof and connected to the earth by pipes, so that worship at worship hall can reach main hall.

sanji003.JPG

The name of the shop is derived from the fact that this was in the past (it was not that old, but the landfill was completed in 1949 (Showa 24)) and Sanjumabori.

The interior of the store on the first basement floor is calm with calm lighting, comfortable sofas, stylish interiors, and quietly flowing BGM.

For me, it's a hideaway in coffee shops.

You can drink various kinds of coffee and it's a bit expensive, but it's delicious.

sanji002.JPG

I ordered today's watered iced coffee

According to Santo Antonio/Brazil and the store, the beans are chocolate-like sweetness and solid body. It seems to be characterized by its smooth mouthfeel.

The feeling I drank was refreshing and sweet.
