At the Megumi Ogita Gallery on the first basement floor of the Ginza Otsuka Building, Ginza 2-chome, Hiroki Inoue's photo exhibition "Kita Fox" is being held.

Inoue is a photographer based in Hokkaido, who continues to shoot in pursuit of beautiful scenery with animals living in the northern country, such as the fox, as well as the fox.

In 2016, he was the first Japanese person to receive the first place in the Nature category of the "National Geographic Travel Photographer of the Year" contest, and in 2017 he appeared on the "Passion Continent (daily broadcast)" as one of Japan's leading photographers, he is expected to play an increasingly global role in the future.

The period is from Friday, March 2 to March 17 (Sat).

The time is from 11:00 to 19:00, and the corridors are days, months and holidays.

In the gallery, portraits of foxes and photographs of the natural scenery where the foxes live are displayed.

The exhibition method has changed a little, and the same works are exhibited in two sizes, a large size (1200 x 1800 mm) and a non-large size (484 x 694 mm).

I had the experience that the impression I received from the same work was completely different just by different sizes.

The work of "moving" by the fox full of dynamism and the work of "silence" of the nature where they live created a mysterious sense of rhythm at the venue.

In addition, at Sony Imaging Gallery Ginza (Ginza 5-8-1 Ginza Place 6F), from March 2 to March 15, Inoue's photo exhibition "Fuyu no Fox" (this is also a fox) is being held at the same time, and it is said that works with special specifications that can be placed on wall hangings and on the table from Fujifilm are exhibited at the same time, and the Fuji Photo Gallery Ginza 4 Ginza 4 Ginza at the same time, and at the same time, and at the exhibition "Gin Ginza.

This time, we received your consent for photography in the gallery and gave a careful explanation of how to display the work.

Thank you very much

Hello.

How are you all?

For those who have many opportunities to go to Ginza, we recommend the Familia event. It's also nice that it's held every month. I would like to participate in toilet training events in the future as my son grows up.

By the way, the event will be held on the second floor, but there is a photo booth on the first floor and you can take pictures with Fami-chan. The decoration changes every season, so you can enjoy shooting every season.

It is a kawazu-zakura that blooms beside Sendai Bridge.

Usually, even in the daytime, Sakura, which blooms only one, is not so conscious of it, but kawazu-zakura, who saw it under the night sky completely unsettled, was so beautiful that I turned my camera unintentionally.

It is the red spot on the map below that blooms.

Located near Tsukiji Market Station on the Toei Oedo Line, Chuo Market Street, which runs from Ginza to Tsukiji, is the base of Sendai Bridge, which crosses the Metropolitan Expressway.

Kawazuzakura is an early blooming cherry blossom that blooms around February. The flowers are pink or light red, and are characterized by their darker pink than Yoshino cherry tree.

The blooming period is also long.

It is said that the log was discovered in Kawazu-cho, Shizuoka Prefecture, so it was named so.

The kawazu-zakura flowers blooming in the night sky, which left the blue, were very powerful and wonderful.

This is Edamame, a correspondent with children.

I'm swaying today by a 2-year-old child and daughter Azuki ...

An event that would bite such azuki began on March 1st.

"Senshafuda stamp rally."

http://www.chuo-kanko.or.jp/#we-page-single-entry?spot=213328

Let's collect stamps available at tourist information center spots in various places in Chuo-ku!

This is a limited-time event.

When I asked Azuki, "Do you want to go to Hankopetanshi?"

For a moment, "I don't do it ... (* I'll never deny it once)" and then "do it."

Apparently, "Hankopantan" seems to be attractive for 2 years and 8 months.

That's right. I left home just before 2:00 pm!

※I really wanted to go out in the morning...

　I was blocked by the azuki, who once again scratched the ear just before leaving.

　There is a situation where Edamame is tired and is about to lose motivation.

　Please understand the child-raising generation (tears).

The first stamp spot is just over a 10-minute walk (using a stroller).

We arrived at Ningyocho Great Kannon Terashita (in front of Ningyocho Shopping Street Cooperative Office).

And ... Actually, a serious incident for children (!?) 。

If I was in a stroller, the height would not match.

Azuki can't push the stamp by himself.

Put your shoes on and get off the stroller.

I managed to make the stairs a stepping stone.

・・Yeah.

(Because there was no person in charge on the table, my mother had no choice but to do her best.)

In addition, stamp of Ningyocho is installed only on weekdays. Please be careful.

Once you've put on your shoes, you'll want to walk yourself for a while.

So, we will do our best to walk to Nihonbashi, the second spot.

It was also my hand to get on the Nihonbashi Metrolink E Line (also known as the yellow bus for my home).

It was a very delicate waiting time.

About 20 minutes on foot by walking at the pace of 2-year-olds.

I think it was a good walk.

The second stamp spot

We arrived at the Nihonbashi Tourist Information Center in Minamizume, Nihonbashi.

Actually, this stamp stand ...

"It's just the right height for an adult to stand and press the stamp."

I did it.

So ... I asked the staff of the information desk to lend me a tall chair.

Azuki sat on it and stamped it.

Thank you very much for your support.

You can use the subway from here.

2 stations on the Ginza Line from Nihombashi Station on the Tokyo Metro.

Azuki also loves trains, so I'm going to get on the train~

He followed me and said, "I'm pretty! He said, "I don't know."

The stairs were slow, but I went down by myself.

※It's so slow that my mother's patience is tested.

And it is the third stamp spot, Tokyu Plaza Ginza.

On the first floor, facing Sukiyabashi Park

There is "G Info" (Ginza Tourist Information Center).

The orange sign on the left side of the photo is a landmark.

Actually, this was also "the stamp stand is just the right height for adults to push."

Mother Edamame → Holding azuki (weight 13 kg)

Sister at the information desk → Take the hand of azuki and push the stamp together

So far away from work (!?) I did it.

・・No, no.

After leaving here, Azuki said, "The baby carriage."

From here, my mother Edamame and walk to the final destination while pushing a stroller.

※You may have the option to get to Kyobashi Station on the Ginza Line 1 station.

　Platform at Kyobashi Station → I didn't want to use the ticket gate because there was no elevator.

That's right.

There are 6 stamp points in total, but if you collect 4, you can get a participation prize.

This time, Tsukiji (Platto Tsukiji) and Tsukishima passed. Excuse me.

If there is enough time during the period, I would like to see the status of the stamp stand ...

About a 15-minute walk, you will arrive at the Chuo-ku Tourist Information Center on the first basement floor of Kyobashi Edgran, the final destination.

This was a desk with a height where you could stamp while riding a stroller.

Hey.

Finally, I would like to show you the stamps collected by the staff of the tourist information center.

Answer the questionnaire...

Challenge the lottery lottery where you can see the results on the spot!

Azuki pulled me...

For both of them was a shame. I'm sorry.

Nevertheless, I am satisfied that I received the Sensha Bill Seal (first 2,000 people) for the participation prize.

Above all, it seemed that the person himself enjoyed "petting" itself.

(Well, I was very happy if the Royal Maskmelon from Kyobashi Senbikiya hit it.)

There are some hurdles to overcome for children, such as the height of the stamp stand.

I think it's an event that can be enjoyed by children.

Of course, I think that adults who take a leisurely stroll around various places in Chuo-ku can enjoy it.

Please visit the website of the Chuo-ku Tourism Association.

There is also a "Introduction to Model Courses"

Why don't you refer to it?

It is a limited time until March 31, so please try it once.

At the gallery "Gallery Ginza" in Ginza 2-chome, Arata Kimura's landscape painting exhibition "Impression and Ease" is currently being held.

The period is from Tuesday, February 20 to March 5 (Monday).

The time is from 10 am to 6:30 pm and the last Monday is until 5 pm.

Kimura has been holding a solo exhibition at this gallery Ginza every year since 1997.

On display are landscape paintings that mainly depict the scenery near Kanto.

The places depicted are Shakujiikoen, Showa Memorial Park, Koku-koen, Lake Tama, Kamakura, Yokohama, Oshino Fuji, Shinjuku Gyoen, etc.

All are oil paintings with a gentle atmosphere and a refreshing and bright style.

It's exactly the perfect fit for the theme.

Mr. Kimura has been drawing landscape paintings entirely on his own.

Moreover, from the base to completion, it seems that everything is drawn in the "field" ()

The photo below shows Mr. Kimura, who is making a work at the site (alaryllis full bloom).

All of the works on display seem to depict the atmosphere of the place, and this is also the result of Mr. Kimura's thorough attitude to complete the work while standing up a canvas on the site and talking with nature with sincere feelings.

At the venue, Mr. Kimura talked about the production process of the work, etc., and it was said that not only paintings but also poems were written, so I made two poems improvised and presented them to me. please

Indeed, it is a poem entitled "Deai" and "Ginza" in which Kimura's personality oozes out.

I'll take care of it.

Regarding photography in the gallery, Mr. Kimura consented and took pictures of the person himself.

Thank you very much

　A three-year-old grandson asks with a cute eye, saying, "I want a stuffed penguin!"

I was asked where it was sold, and went on a field survey that Hakuhinkan was okay.

I purchased the Tokyo Olympic goods on display at the entrance of the first floor.

There were many kinds of stuffed animals I wanted on the 2nd floor.

　There was also something made of vinyl, and it was quite realistic.

　In addition, hand puppets that could be used for puppet shows were also sold.

　My taste is different from my wife's taste, so I was delighted if my wife bought and gave it.
