Tuscana...

Florence, which became the center of the Renaissance culture, is the capital of the state, and it has rich earth blessings suitable for seafood, farming and livestock farming.

In particular, olive oil, beans and cheese are produced abundantly.

A new street tree seedlings are planted on the west sidewalk of Ginza Chuo-dori.

Seedlings were planted on the sidewalks of 1-chome, 2-chome, and 3-chome across the Ginza 2-chome intersection where my commuting route, Ginza Marronnier Street and Chuo-dori, intersect.

This new street tree is said to be a wig tree.

Wig is a tree commonly found as a park or street tree, and is a deciduous tree that leaves yellow in autumn.

The trunk is straight, fast growing, and seems to be about 20m high.

The heart-shaped circular leaves are cute, aren't they?

By the way, the current street tree on Chuo-dori is yew.

Yew is an evergreen coniferous tree with a beautiful trunk extending straight and a beautiful conical shape.

In the past, the theory that yew was used to make a shak used by high-ranking people using yew wood, and that yew wood was much reder (= scarlet) than other wood, There is a theory that "the best scarlet" changed from "scarlet" to "one scarlet".

In the future, the west side of 1-8 chome and the east side of 4, 5, and 6 chome are all turned into wig street trees.

I'm looking forward to seeing the streets of Ginza become a pleasant street with lots of greenery for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

 

 

There are many things you don't notice at all, even in places where you usually walk.

At present, Fuji is in full bloom inside the fence of the Metropolitan Expressway Toshin Beltway, near the congratulatory bridge from the middle of the congratulatory bridge and Mannen Bridge on the map above, near the congratulatory bridge.

There was a wisteria tree in such a place

Fuji is a vine deciduous tree of the legume family, and generally blooms from late April to early May with a long ear-like inflorescence hanging down.

When it comes to where this wisteria grows, it looks like it grows through the fence from the outside of the fence, as shown in the photo above.

Fuji seems to be a favorable plant that prefers places where direct sunlight shines, and this place faces southeast, why did it bloom a little earlier than other Fuji?

By the way, the view from the Konwavir side is the best.

 

 

This is a rosemary sea, where we work on "gifts and enjoy yourself".

　

Shiseido Parlour Ginza Main Store Salon de Cafe, "Spring Domestic Fruit Parfait" that uses domestic fruits luxuriously until April 30 (Monday, National Holiday) is available.

The parfait finished with fresh spring-colored citrus fruits is refreshing in appearance and taste.

In addition, the strawberry parfait in April features "Echigohime" from Niigata Prefecture.

It has a lovely colony strawberry, soft pulp and a juicy taste that looks like a heart shape.

Both have excellent compatibility with seasonal fruits, homemade ice cream, and homemade sauce.

　

This time, we also took care of Mr. Kotsugai, a public relations group of Shiseido Co., Ltd.

Then I would like to introduce some items.

　

Spring-grown fruit parfait 1,980 yen (tax included)

It is a spring-like fruit parfait that is gorgeously colored with specialty domestic fruits such as melons, watermelons, and Aomori Cassis, mainly citrus fruits that feel the coming of spring, such as Bundan, Dekopon, and Kiyomi Orange.

A refreshing dish where you can enjoy the texture and taste of fresh citrus fruits.

The combination of homemade citrus sauce and sauce made from Aomori Prefecture strawberry "Sachinoka", Wenzhou mandarin jelly and sherbet is also outstanding.

In addition, when entangled with an additional orange caramel sauce, it changes to a mellow and rich taste.

　

Special Strawberry Parfait of Princess Echigo from Niigata Prefecture 2,380 yen (tax included)

It is a strawberry parfait that luxuriously uses Niigata's original strawberry "Echigo Hime", which grew up with nutrients in the weather conditions of the snowy country.

The characteristic surface of strawberries is a proof of the softness of the pulp.

As the name is "a pretty and fresh strawberry like a princess of Niigata", it features a sweet, juicy, fragrant, and elegant taste with gentle acidity.

　

　

1,890 yen (tax included) Strawberry Parfait from Sachinoka from Hachinohe City, Aomori Prefecture

It is a parfait using the strawberry "Sachinoka" that has been carefully grown over time in the cool environment of Hachinohe City.

・・・ How about dessert and taste unique to this season?

Hello. It's Hanes, a new correspondent!
I visited a gallery in Ginza for the first time the other day, influenced by my correspondent seniors.
For me, who is not familiar with art, I had the image of "a gallery seems to have a high threshold."
When I actually visited, the image was dispelled, and it turned into a positive impression, "I want to go again!"
This time, I would like to introduce a wonderful gallery that made me think so.

The gallery is located in the Okuno Building, a luxury designer's condominium built in 1932.
This building, which has witnessed the transition of Ginza for more than 85 years, has been reborn as a center of art in Ginza, and is still active in Balibari.



The gallery you are looking for is on the upper floor, so you'll move with a retro manual elevator that you've been concerned about for a long time!
It's very fresh for me who got used to automatic doors.
I think this elevator is the gateway to the world of mysterious stories.

　

The number of floors is analog, but it is somewhat reminiscent of Western antiques.
If you look at the needle that moves smoothly as you move up and down the elevator, you will feel like you have a time slip.



And we arrived at Gallery Camellia with a lovely atmosphere in No. 502.



Currently, Kazumi Nagaoka exhibition "Appearance" is being held.
After completing a teacher training course at Kochi University, he was nearing his graduation.
Mr. Nagaoka said that he met a terracotta teacher from Tokyo at a workshop held in Kochi.
I was able to make the most of the goodness of the soil, and I was fascinated by the terracotta that says, "What I actually created will take shape as it is."
He seems to have been working since then.

Many of Mr. Nagaoka's works make viewers feel gentle and calm.
Works have been set up in shops, clinics, clinics, clinics, etc., mainly in Okayama, Hyogo, and Kagawa prefectures.
Recently, he provided relief to the Daita Kindergarten New Garden Building attached to Daita Church in Setagaya-ku.
Since there are only wonderful works, I would like to introduce some of them after obtaining permission from Mr. Nagaoka himself and the owner of the gallery.

"I'm afraid,"



"Stand up,"



"Beat of the sky" (foreground) / "Sound (yellow)", "Sound (peach)" (back)



"A flash,"



In addition, works on the theme of clouds and flowers are also exhibited.

The gentle colors and textures include incorporating ceramic techniques and making their own colors using makeup mud.
This is realized by Mr. Nagaoka's desire to make use of the texture of the soil.

This exhibition will be held until Sunday.
It's around this time when it's warm and cheerful...Why don't you get lost in the world of stories in Ginza?

Last month, we introduced the Tsukiji River Sendai Bridge Park, where cherry blossoms with different flowering times are planted.

At the time of the introduction on March 20, yoko was in full bloom, kawazu-zakura was in a cherry blossom state, and fgen elephants had no buds yet.

The fugen elephant at Sendai Bridge Park is in full bloom as of April 9.

Fugenzo is a typical horticultural variety of Satozakura, with large light red and double flowers.

The double large ring is very gorgeous even with one.

Fugen elephant is written as "Fugen Elephant".

It seems that two green leaves protruding from the center of the flower and the tip swayed back on the elephant's nose on the Fugen Bodhisattva.
