Yuta Shitara at "Ginza Matsuya".

[kimitaku] 12:00 on March 1, 2019

On Chuo-dori from Ginza 2-chome to 3-chome

Cartier Gucci Chanel Tiffany Dior is lined with luxury shops around the world.

In the evening, the window is beautifully colored, as expected, but Ginza.

kimitaku3_20190226.jpg kimitaku5_20190226.jpg

 

 After walking along 3-chome, you will find all over the wall of Ginza Matsuya Department Store

He set a new record in Japan at last year's Tokyo Marathon

A huge silhouette (goal scene) of "Yuta Shitara" player was raised.

・・・The words "You will break common sense" are brilliant. ・・・

kimitaku1_20190226.jpg

  

The twin Shitara brothers (the older brother is Keita) worked hard as a runner since they were young.

His younger brother Yuta set a new record for the Tokyo Marathon (2 hours, 6 minutes and 11 seconds).

The two worked hard to be runners with other students at Obusuma Elementary School Junior High School since they were young.

*It seems that there are 15 Hakone Ekiden players from Obusuma Junior High School * (I, a poor correspondent, is also a graduate) *

While walking from Ginza 2-chome at dusk,

Please take a look at the world's fashion and Shitara player's appearance.

・・This year’s Tokyo Marathon is coming soon. ・・・

Ginza Matsuya Department Store (TEL03-3567-1111) is a 5-minute walk from Ginza Station Subway.

 

 

[Ginza 6-chome] "10FACTORY" is the only shop outside the prefecture from Ehime, a citrus kingdom

[Inochan] 09:00 on March 1, 2019

 

GINZA SIX B2F There is a restaurant for citrus lovers.

10FACTORY from Ehime Prefecture, Japan's largest citrus kingdom.

The Ginza store is the only directly managed store outside the prefecture.

  

mikan_0001.jpg

 

In a simple store like a factory warehouse, there are many citrus products such as mandarin oranges.

A package that looks like a whole fruit is tightly confined, natural orange color

I'm drawing a gradient.

 

This is the eat-in corner.

I ordered a set of 3 kinds of tangerine juice trial.

 

mikan_0003.jpg

 

From left to right, sweet summer, Wenzhou and Kawachi late citrus. You can play "handy mandarin orange".

 

mikan_0004.jpg

 

It's a tangerine beer. It's not carbonated juice.

 

mikan_0005.jpg

 

All gelato is orange! No matter which one you choose! This is the diversity of oranges.
There was a single and a double.

 

mikan_0006.jpg

 

Our main goal is to boost the tangerine industry in Ehime Prefecture and connect it to the next generation.
10FACTORY

 

mikan_0012.jpg

 

Original products that make use of various varieties are likely to become "Mikan-dori" just by looking at them
I feel like it. It is also recommended as a vitamin supplement spot when walking around the town of Ginza.

  

mikan_0013.jpg

 

10FACTORY Ginza store (Tenfactory Ginzaten)

6-10-1 Ginza, Chuo-ku, 2nd basement floor of GINZA SIX

03-6263-9891

 

 

Well, from here, extra edition.

 

The other day, I had the opportunity to visit the store.

The home town of 10FACTORY is Matsuyama City, Ehime Prefecture.

 

mikan_0007.JPG

Ehime Prefectural Office, where the magnificent architecture of the early Showa period draws attention. Running in front is "Bochan Train".

 

The Matsuyama head office has a stronger factory impression, such as steel benches and existing ceilings.

It was a tourist spot, and it was full of customers until the closing time.

 

mikan_0008.JPG

 

mikan_0009.JPG

 

mikan_0010.JPG

Matsuyama Main Store. A cool modern store where the natural beauty of the product stands out.

 

I also stopped at the Dogo store. Immediately after entering the shopping street (Dogo Highkara Street) from Dogo Onsen Station

It was in a place, and this was also very busy.

 

IMG_5501.jpg

 

At the Dogo store. Is it your home base that there is a triple in Gelato? In Ehime

Try a triple when you go. And the mandarin beer was born in this Dogo store.

That's right. It's a hot-spring town-like idea. A drink after the bath.

 

mikan_0011.JPG

 

Visit the Matsuyama Main Store and Dogo Store and deliver the atmosphere of the home town to the Ginza store.

I realized what I was doing.

10FACTORY Ginza store is definitely a small citrus kingdom in GINZA SIX!

 

 

 

The owner's commitment glows! "MUSEE" in Ginza, where you learn from British theater architecture

[Hanes] February 28, 2019 18:00


Hello. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
In mid-February, I heard that there was a special exhibition that I wouldn't miss for English lovers.
I went to a very interesting gallery in Ginza.
The gallery is a senior correspondent Zimini- ☆Mr. Cricket (2016, 2017, 2018) and Mr. Tsukuda's Usako were also introduced.
MUSEE GINZA was created by preserving and restoring modern architecture (retro building) built in 1932!

IMG_4424.JPG thumbnail image
(The entrance is on the left side.)

The details of the building itself are detailed in the article of Mr. Usako Tsukuda, so this time I omitted it.
I would like to introduce you from what I was interested in inside the building.

■Entrance to stairs
First, press the intercom to open the door.
On the left side of the door is the Parnas Vienna interior filled with the charm of the Vienna Separatists displayed in the showcase.
And on the wall next to the elongated stairs that stretches in front,
It is decorated with postcards (Sanjumabori, cafe-the heyday, occupied Ginza, etc.) that show the 90 years of Ginza that this building has walked.
As you go up the stairs, rare historical materials will make you back in time.

Musee Ginza.jpg

In addition, since it was a building in the early Showa era, I found an old Kyobashi Tax Corporation member's certificate in the middle of the stairs!
There are several buildings that were built at the same time in Ginza.
Even if the exterior is retro, there are not many things left at the time.
Therefore, these casual things are actually rare

IMG_4407.JPG

■Observation and Experimental Space
When I visited the gallery, there was a customer who had an aesthetic eye.
I showed you the roof before the exhibition.

Roof_Musee.jpg

Usually, the roof of buildings is not open to the public, but
It seems that installations and performances are also experimentally conducted here,
It is a valuable spot where you can see Showa-dori from an open space.

Roof.jpg

■Exhibition "The World of British Theater"
After enjoying the rooftop for a while, go to the long-awaited exhibition.
This exhibition focuses on the goodness and historical axis of British theater architecture that flourished in the West End.
Exhibits of 16 copperplate prints extracted from ancient book literature (published in the early 19th century) that conveys its history.

MUSEE_GINZA-The_world_of_British_Theater_Architecture38.jpg

The British theater, which is the theme of this time, has been updated with the times.
The younger generation in Japan will also visit theaters,
It can be said that traditional Japanese performing arts still have little support from the younger generation.

In addition, it is difficult to use the old building that has once completed its role in Japan as it is.
It is often demolished and reborn as a new building.
However, Rikihiro Kawasaki, who bought the building, updated the architectural space like the British theater.
We have succeeded in preserving and restoring buildings by giving them a new role by taking advantage of the land of Ginza.

In this way, this exhibition is linked to Mr. Kawasaki's idea of preserving the building.
It is said that it is actually used in London's subway station for this exhibition.
We obtained Stair Nosings (Stair Nosings) from AATi, UK, which will be adopted for the first time in Japan, as a custom order after six months of negotiations.
It’s amazing that you put it on the stairs yourself.
This may be possible because it was originally a construction company in Kyushu.
This hardware is often used in British theater architecture, and the attention to such details is one of the highlights.

IMG_4375.JPG

And as you can see in the illustration below (The New Theatre Royal in Hay Market in 1821),
There are some pictures of the gorgeous and glittering British theatre, but that's not all!

musee_1.jpg
(Photo courtesy of MUSEE GINZA_KawasakiBrandDesign)

You can see the uniqueness of the era, British culture, and architectural elements everywhere in the illustrations, so your imagination will expand.
For example, an illustration of St Saviour's choir (1 January 1814, Robert Wilkinson Published).
I get the impression that clear hymns are echoing throughout the church, but if you look closely at the details, you will find it even more interesting.

musee_2.jpg
(Photo courtesy of MUSEE GINZA_KawasakiBrandDesign)

(upper photo) In the vicinity of the ceiling of a pointed arch unique to Gothic style, a rose-like floating decoration (boss) :You can see ribs (reinforcement members provided at key points such as board materials to increase the strength of steel structures, and decorations attached at the intersection of "ribs").

musee_3.jpg

(Left left of the photo) An angel-like sculpture decoration
(lower right) like the Royal Standard of England

In addition to the distinctive style and stained glass, the British church architecture is often seen.
In these details, “What is this?” There is a charm like "I'm worried!"

And Mr. Kawasaki says that the most horrifying work in this exhibition is
It depicts the Drury Lane Theatre on fire on the night of February 24, 1809.
At that time, the method of evacuation and the time required to extinguish the fire were different from modern times....
How did the people around you evacuate and what kind of sight they saw?...
I think you can know this from this illustration.

musee_5.jpg
(Photo courtesy of MUSEE GINZA_KawasakiBrandDesign)

The old books handled this time were published by the publishing company of Robert Wilkinson (1768-1825), who produced the map.
Please check not only the illustrations depicting the theater but also the map.
You can see the record of the fire and where and what kind of profession lived, so it's interesting to watch.

musee_6.jpg
A Plan of the Fire in Bishopgate Street, Cornhill and Leadenhalal Street

You can also purchase this exhibition!
Unlike regular antique illustrations, it may be available at a very affordable price,
This is also surprising because three illustrations were sold on the day of the visit alone.

musee_7.jpg
(Photo courtesy of MUSEE GINZA_KawasakiBrandDesign)

I will not be able to introduce all the works on this blog.
You can see the old British illustrations up close, which you usually don't see.
It’s also nice to be able to shoot in the gallery like a British museum.

<Asident> Adolf Loos
Designed by Roth, famous for “art is guilt” (i.e., “progress in culture is to remove decorations from everyday goods”), the café museum is characterized by a simple interior,
The gallery also displays a rare chair with a design similar to the Muzeum chair there (available for purchase).
This Roth's idea sounds somewhat radical,
It was so simple that some buildings were stopped by the authorities because they were so simple....
However, he later became a pioneer of Modernism architecture, and now he represents Vienna, or even the architectural world.

I don't know much about art, but I look at this chair about the cafe Muzeum.
I feel like I have understood a little bit of MUSEE GINZA's vision and stance again.
As I mentioned earlier, it is difficult to enter a gallery that does not face the road surface.
I don't even know what it is in the first place.

But here, as the gallery name suggests, it feels like going to “MUSEE”
I felt like it was an open space where everyone could enjoy art.
And the uniqueness of "MUSEE" that appeals to the sensitivity of visitors.
Ginza is a land that is sensitive to art, and it is embodied while being updated!

This special exhibition, which the owner Kawasaki was particular about, will be held until March 17th.
Please drop in when you come near you.

Ginza Wako Clock and Record "It's not just a number. TIME IS WHAT I AM.」

[Ginzo] February 28, 2019 09:00

 There was an announcement in the Ginza Wako show window that the Tokyo Marathon will be held on March 3.

The message says, “It’s not just a number. Time is what I am.”

1550791382463.jpg

 And what number of records was shown.

This is WR, so it's the World Record World Record Marathon.

This is a new world record marked by Eli Ud Kipchoge (Kenya) at the Berlin Marathon held on September 16, 2018.

1550791472115.jpg

Next is NR, so the National Record of Japan.

This is a record made by Japanese master Osako at the Chicago Marathon held in the United States in October 2018.

1550791505911.jpg

For now, the Japanese record set by the Japanese at the Tokyo Marathon is 2 hours 6 minutes 11 seconds, which was set by Yuta Shitara in February 2018.

There were other records. Let's enjoy the Tokyo Marathon with reference to the numbers in numerous records.

We hope that all the players participating in the Tokyo Marathon will get the results of their daily practice in production. And I encourage you to update your records.
