A window where the Ginza U.K. Yamitsubachi dances

[Silver] February 10, 2019 09:00

 In February, spring has passed, and spring is just around there.

Many of the window shopping in Ginza have created a fun spring.

Ginza U.K.'s show window is entertaining us every year as the four seasons change.

This time, they showed off the bees that danced in the show window. I am trying to collect honey from cherry blossoms that seem to be Yoshino cherry tree.

 The lower right of the show window is shown.

The message is "Ginza Honey Bee Project Ginza U.K. is supporting the Ginza Bee Project."

A little more to Valentine's Day! Six Heart Spots in Chuo-ku

[Hanes] February 8, 2019 14:00


Hello. I'm a new correspondent (Hanes)
As you can see when you look into the department stores in Ginza and Nihonbashi, Valentine's Day is approaching!
Cute sweets are lined up in stores, including overseas chocolates that you can't usually buy.
In recent years, there has been a growing tendency for women to buy slightly luxurious chocolates for themselves.
I feel that chocolate variations are becoming more and more abundant.

(Purchased at Matsuya Ginza 8F. It is a women's favorite royal road and Instagrammable ◎)

There are many delicious chocolate shops in Chuo-ku, so I can't introduce them.
This time, I would like to introduce some heart spots in Chuo-ku that you can enjoy regardless of men and women of all ages.
In addition to Instagram, you may be happy if you visit!

■Ginza area
・GINZA SIX Rooftop Garden (Ginza 6-10-1)
I introduced it in the first article after my correspondent debut.
Hearts can also be enjoyed from the rooftop garden (where is it?)
It is a heart spot that seems known and actually is not well known yet.

・Tenshodo Ginza Main Store (Ginza 4-3-9)
As you all know, there is a cute angel at the corner of this jewelry shop.
This is the work of sculptor Asahiko Yamada, which was set up during the renewal of the Tenshodo in 1997.
As the correspondent seniors have often introduced, wearing a Santa cap depending on the season.
It is a great photo spot for both Japanese and overseas.

IMG_4165.JPG
(Even if you become a familiar angel, you will take a picture every time you pass nearby.)

Well, you are such an angel, but did you know what you have?
I think you can imagine someone with good intuition, but yes. It's a heart arrow!
I've heard the story that "stroking your head will make love."
Please check this heart when you stroking your head.

IMG_4169.JPG
(The angel's head tells us that many people have been stroking.)

・Chuo-dori (Ginza-dori)
In fact, heart can now be seen on the main street of Ginza!
Its identity is the leaves of the street tree "Katsura"
Unfortunately, I can't see this season, but I'd like to go see it when it gets warmer.

・Place name sign (This time, we will use a photo of Ginza 3-chome on behalf of.)
This is a "hidden heart" that is a little nice if you find it.
It may be a little overdoing, but did you find it?

IMG_4172.JPG

The answer is here!

GINZA 3.jpg

In addition, the heart may be hidden in such places and places that pass sideways many times.

■Tsukiji area
・Tsukiji Honganji (3-15-1 Tsukiji)
It may be surprising, but there is also something like a heart here.
You can see it all over the premises, including main hall.

Inonome_TsukijiHongwanji.jpg

Well, the reason why I dared to write "like a heart".
In fact, this is not a heart, it is called "Inome".
Since ancient times, it has been used in shrines and temples in the sense of amulet and invitation.

IMG_4183.JPG

And the name "Inome" is literally derived from "Inoshino eyes".
This year is the year of the boar, so why not look for Inome when visiting shrines and temples?

thumbnail_IMG_4189.jpg

■Harumi area
・Harumi Wharf
I haven't been able to see it yet, but there seems to be a spot where you can see a series of hearts here.
That's the self-proclaimed “power spot that calls happiness” introduced by senior correspondent George Mayame!
I want to put this on Instagram.
For more information, please refer to the following article.

By the way, I have introduced six heart spots, how was it?
I hope there is also one place where you can think, "I want to go here!"
Because of the Valentine's season, I came to a department store to shop.
Do you not go around heart spot in Chuo-ku?

kabukiza_i1902.jpg

Setsubun, Ritsuharu and February also started running. I remember Tatsunosuke Onoe, who died too early at the age of 40, as if it had been so long after seeing that "the first Tatsunosuke Onoe 33rd anniversary".

When the night performance "Mezuki Hachiman Festival" (Shinsuke Shuya) was performed at Kabukiza in 1983, Shinsuke Shuya was Tatsunosuke, Miyoshi was Takao (Nizaemon), and Geisha Miyoyoshi was Tamasaburo . This time, there is a follow-up, and Nizaemon and Tamasaburo meet the relationship with Matsu Midori. The enchanting entanglement between Tamasaburo and Nizaemon, the role of Joyu, creates a unique atmosphere of a famous combination for many years. In the scene where Shinsuke Shuya, who was betrayed and confused by the drizzle of the collapse of Eitai Bridge on the day of the Tomioka Hachimangu Shrine Festival, killed Miyokichi, when the drizzle spread on the stage, the vinyl cover distributed `` for the use of this water '' It is a turn. It's distributed up to the second row today. It's something exciting to find it on your seat.

 

100_3076.JPG 100_3078.JPG

"Today's Holiday Harukoma" is a dance of Soga kyogen, and Goro Soga's eldest son is near the left of Matsu Midori's eldest son, but Kumatori also appears very well, and his neighbor "It looks like Tatsunonosuke!" 。 "Kumagaya Jinya" is Mr. Yoshiemon, and the psychology of Kumagaya is transmitted straight, and handkerchiefs are here and there. It's a famous performance.

Matsu Midori plays the first role of "Sushiya" Igami Gonta in the daytime, and is "Oshimatsu in the Darkness" and "Dango sales".

Special brewing "Kumagaya" and "Igami no Gonta" have been released following this month's performance.

The 26th of February Daikabuki is Senakiraku.
