　I took a walk in a lively city from Ginza 8-chome.

The advertisement of the Ginza Hakuhinkan should be energetic only at the general toy department store.

　

　At the entrance of GINZA SIX, "Daisy Balloon" Mirror Bell Dress "".　It is an object called Miller Bell Dress, reminiscent of a Christmas bell of about 4m by the artist unit Daisy Balloon.

The photos taken from inside the store become the mannequin doll of the opposite building, which decorates the city of Ginza gorgeously.

　

The decoration of the show window of Ginza Core Building.　It's a very cute march of penguins.

　

　The lighting of the opposite Tasaki Building seems to be warm with gentle pink.

　Please enjoy a quiet and elegant Christmas with silver bra.

 

 

A liquor store that stands at Ginza 1-chome and sells tastings, sake gallery "Kojiya Sanshiro Sake Store"

The place is the red place on the map below, Ginza 1-23-4 Tokai Building 1F.

In the last blog (), I introduced the super-umaguchi activated muddy sake "Oho"

When I visited a few days ago, "Ohho" was sold out, but when I went today, the owner told me that it had just arrived today and that the name was changed to "Ginza Owl".

It was nice timing

Even if the name changes, there is no difference that it is an active turbulent liquor of the superuma mouth.

In addition, seven years after Great East Japan Earthquake, I heard that the "Sake Great Tasting Party in Ginza" was planned and operated at Ginza Suzuran Street on December 16 and 17 last weekend to remember the support I had forgotten.

At that time, the exhibited "Tohoku 6 Soul Sake" was placed in the store.

It is a beautiful Art Nouveau-style liquor with prefectural flowers from the six prefectures of Tohoku on the label.

At present, this shop is the only place where you can drink and buy this liquor.

It is said that customers from overseas are also increasing at this shop.

A hat is taken off to the vitality of the shopkeeper who is engaged in various activities to get to know the goodness of sake.

In addition, we received the consent of the owner about the photography in the store, and this time we also gave a polite and polite explanation.

Thank you very much

　Christmas Art Festa 2017 was held at 24 galleries in Ginza for a week from December 8th to 16th.

This year, we visited the Nichido Gallery, Ginza Yanagi Gallery, Eizendo Gallery, Akihado Gallery, Yasuaki Gallery, and Galerie Tamenaga Kobayashi Gallery.

　As expected, Nichido Gallery was only the largest and exhibited a lot of works.　The 56th Mini-Yon Exhibition was held to commemorate the 90th anniversary of our founding.

At Ginza Yanagi Gallery, a painter Shinji Naganawa, who lives in Malaga, Spain, was at the venue and was able to listen to the story.

I felt as if I was in Spain with a bright color of oil.

　

　Yasuaki Gallery's theme was "Special Exhibition: Enjoy Flowers-Shoyo Hana".

　A lot of works depicting various flowers of spring, summer, autumn and winter on a large canvas were exhibited. We also received a "List of Flower Languages".　According to that, "Speony" seems to have a flower language of shamefulness and humility. "Peony" is like a flower language of personality, fuki, shame, and shyness.　For those who have this, I would like to give you a bright red rose.

　

The Lenoir exhibition was being held at "Galley Tamenaga".

　

　At Kobayashi Gallery, works by Izumi Akiyama, Hoshi Shibusawa, Chichi Tanaka, Reina Taniho were exhibited.

　

　At Akika-dong, the actor's paintings and works related to Koryoya will be exhibited at the `` Actual Painting Exhibition '' commemorating the 3rd generation of Koryoya's attack on the 2nd generation Matsumoto Hakuro, the 10th generation Matsumoto Koshiro, and the 8th generation Somegoro Ichikawa It seems to be.

The period is from January 12 (Fri) to 26 (Fri), 2018.

　

　Details such as the exhibition contents of other galleries are provided.

The other day, we had a women's lunch party at Ginza Kubei.

　

The course is 4000 yen, 5500 yen, 8000 yen, and 13,000 yen.
The difference between the two courses in the middle is whether the contents of the story and whether there is dessert.

　

I don't need any dessert at sushi restaurant.
I'm a drinker, so I chose a course of 5500 yen.

　

The first stain soup comes out is also kind to the liver (laughs).
Eight people lined up at the counter and served white wine and cold sake.♪

　

　

　

　

　

　

　

I'm filled with my grip, miso soup, and scrolls.
You can listen to the tastes of likes and dislikes very much.
Shrimp can choose either raw or half-life.
I'm not good at sea, so I changed it to yellowtail this season.

　

Kubei in Ginza is the second time.
The board is always very friendly and fun.

　

It was a very satisfying sushi lunch party.

The Asahi Building on Namiki-dori St., which was being rebuilt, was completed, and Rolex and Louis Vuitton opened sequentially from November 15th, and San Motoyama returned to make it even more fashionable. We are looking forward to opening the Hyatt Hotel Chain Hyatt St Rick Ginza on January 22 next year from the 3rd to the 12th floor. I hear it's 164 rooms. The song monument of Takuboku Ishikawa, which I was worried about, was also in the original place. Something safe. As you know, the location of this Asahi Building is the place where the Asahi Shimbun entered Osaka and set up the company building in 1888 (1888). The first place is Motosukiyacho 2-chome, a little far away, but two months later, it moved to Takiyamamachi (current location) and moved to Yurakucho (current location of Marion) in 1927 (1927). I was publishing a newspaper here. It is also famous for having a selling-selling writer join the company and writing it. In 1904, Futabatei Shitaku, and in 1907, Soseki Natsume joined the company. Soseki, the 150th anniversary of this year's birth, was a lecturer at Tokyo Imperial University before joining Asahi. "I quit teaching at Teidai and joined a newspaper company" seems to have caused a great sensation at that time. Tokyo Imperial University lecturer's salary is 800 yen per year, while Asahi's monthly salary is 200 yen, so it was about tripled, so it was like Soseki's 40-year-old brilliant traveryu. The first novel that I moved to Asahi and published is "Gobijingusa". The critic, Toyotaka Komiya, wrote the following: "The fact that Soseki quit college and joined a newspaper company was a major sensation at that time. It is said that Soseki will finally write "Ago Bijingus" this time, so Mitsukoshi will sell "Ago Bijingus yukata". Gyokudo sells "gobijin grass rings". The newspaper salesman at the station said, "Asahi Shimbun" and called "Asahi Shimbun" and made a big fuss in the world. "

　

Two years after Soseki, Takuboku Ishikawa joined the company as a proofreader in 1909 (1909). The monthly salary was 25 yen, and the following year he was recognized for his talent and became the winner of the Asahi Kadan. Prices in the Meiji 40s are about 20,000 times in modern times ("Meiji Gold Account" Hirofumi Yamamoto), so Soseki's annual salary is about 48 million yen and Takuboku's about 6 million yen. By the way, Futabatei Shikuro is half that of Soseki. When you look at the new building, be sure to take a look at Takuboku's poetry monument on the road side.

Take the escalator to Hibikicho Square.

"Ginning wood" is a sawmill that we call now. When I was a child, adults called Kibikicho instead of Higashiginza.

On the way down by the escalator, there was a poster by Koshiro Matsumoto. Koshiro Matsumoto is active not only in the Kabuki stage but also in a wide range of fields. (Koshiro Matsumoto and others seem to have the same name as the third generation, but the interview was in November 2017. )

　

There are souvenir shops lined up here in Kiboricho Square. The information is posted on the Internet. The shop here has casters and is all moved at the end of business and literally becomes a square. This square is provided as a temporary evacuation site for those who cannot return home in the event of a disaster. It can accommodate 3,000 people together with the audience seats, and three days of water and emergency food are stored.

　

<<<<<<<<< there is a large Japanese lantern and a phoenix. >>>>>>

　

　

When you take the elevator from the basement to the 4th floor, you will find the entrance to the Makumi seat and models of successive Kabukiza.

　

<<<<<<The first Kabukiza exterior is Western style　　>>>>>>

　

　

<<<<<<<< Second Kabukiza Theater >>>>>>>

　

　

<<<<<<<Third Phase Kabukiza Theater >>>>>>>

　

The exterior of the first Kabukiza seems to have been Western-style architecture. It is said that the style of Kabukiza was established in the third generation and it has reached the present. I've visited the previous Kabukiza several times.

　

　

　

I climb the Goemon stairs and go to the 5th floor, but it seems that there is a phoenix on the roof tiles here. Please look for it.

　

　

<<<<<<The large roof of Kabukiza Theater >>>>>

　

　

On the 5th floor, a rooftop garden is located on the large roof of the Kabukiza Theater.

<<<<<< The tiles of the previous Kabukiza Theater are used.　>>>>>>>

　

　

The onigawara of the former Kabukiza Theater was set up, and the former clay roof tile was used at the feet. onigawara is located at the tip of the roof and is intended for protection against misfortune and decoration.

When you come to the rooftop garden, please visit Kotobuki Tsukido. This is a Japanese tea specialty store started by "Maruyama Nori Store". Matcha sweets are a gem that stands out for the scent of tea.
