Iriichi Kannon Bodhisattva

[TAKK...] October 30, 2017 18:00

Irifune, Chuo-ku, Sakuragawa Park.

There are facilities in Chuo-ku, such as a women's center and a pumping station.

 

In one corner of this park, there is "Iriichi Kannon Jizo Bodhisattva".

Some say that one of the three came out from the bottom of the river when reclaiming the river.

 

There is "Mushiba Prayer Stone" next to it.

It seems that there have been many people who wish for toothache since ancient times.

Also, there seems to be a story that the surface was originally smooth, but the surface became rough due to a fire.

 

 

Autumn Lunch Time Acoustic Live at KayGee's / Autumn Lunch Time Acoustic Live at KayGee's

[HK] October 30, 2017 14:00

 

This is the announcement of the long-awaited lunch live event at KayGee's, a hideout cafe bar in Shinkawa that I introduced on my blog before. 

The live performance of this shop was always scheduled for night, so I can't go inside, and this time it's a lunch live with lunch, so I'm going to invite my friends to participate.  

 

Ika Yamamura, who sings anything such as jazz, bossanova, pop, etc. Hiroki Shindo, who loves guitar, opens a guitar class alongside sessions, recordings, and live activities. I've heard these two live performances at a certain cafe in Marunouchi before, but I can spend a wonderful time with a truly comfortable acoustic sound that penetrates my body and relaxes my heart.  

4,700 yen including tax (with lunch / one drink) is quite advantageous, and the maximum number of seats is up to 30 people, so it is just the right size. 

 

Details are as follows:

Date and time: November Saturday, November 18, 2017 Lunch start 13:00/Start 14:00 

Fees: 4,700 yen including tax (music charge/lunch/with one drink) 

Inquiries and reservations: KayGee's 03-5542-0335 (Sun/holiday holiday)

Yes, I have been waiting for this, Cafe Bar "Kaygee's" in Shinkawa is scheduling Lunch Time Acoustic Live Event.  

Since this will be held during daytime with lunch, I am willing to go with my friend because almost every past live event were held at night which was difficult for me to join.   

 

Vocalist Itsuka Yamamura can really sing. Her repertories are Jazz, Bosa Nova, Pops, etc, she can sing almost anything. You just can't help feeling happy listening to Gutarist Hiroki Shido's performance since he is so much devoted to guitar. He is also a busy man doing session with artists, recording, his own live, and even guitar lesson class. 
I once saw their performance at cafe in Marunouchi. They enthralled everyone with their smooth acoustic sound, that soaked into everyones' body and soul, making everyone soft and relaxed.

Charge is JPY4,700 per person including tax, lunch and one drink which is quite reasonable. The place is cozy and pleasant with 30 seats which is just the right size for acoustic live performance.  

 

<Further Details>

Date: November 18, 2017 (Sat. ) Open 13:00 / Performance Start 14:00 

Charge: JPY4,700 (tax, music charge, lunch, one drink included)

I feel the coming of autumn

[Asunaro] October 11, 2017 16:00


The osmanthus that blooms small orange flowers.

You realize that the flowers have bloomed due to the fragrance.

 Sign. jpg

 The scientific name Osmanthus is osme/fragrance and anthus (anthos)

It is derived from flowers.

 In the book charts compiled in the Edo period, "Kurika" is "Kurika".

There is also another name, both of which show the appearance of flowers.

 Osmanthus jpg

 Sweet scent with a presence is somewhat nostalgic.

It makes you feel clear and feels like autumn has come.

I found a small autumn in the precincts.

The osmanthus is often found in parks, street trees, etc.

The flowering time varies depending on the environment.

It's mid-September to mid-October.

At this time, while being wrapped in a gentle scent

Why don't you take a walk?

Remove the plaque of bathhouse Ukiyo

[Asunaro] 16:00 on October 7, 2017

October 10 is the day of the public bath.

 

The first public bath in Edo was the shores of Senbei Bridge in Tensho 19 (1591).

Today, it opened in front of Tokiwa Bridge Park in Nihonbashi.

I did it.

 Tokiwa Bridge. jpg

The town of Edo is based on the geology and wind strength of the Kanto Loam Formation.

It was dusty, and people went to public baths and the number of public baths increased.

There was a sword hanging in the public bath in Hatchobori, even though it was ladies' bath.

There is a story of the Seven Wonders.

It avoids crowded morning men's baths and is quiet at the same time.

The power of Hatchobori by turning ladies' bath into hot water (chartered out)

Concentric and listen to the story you can hear from the next men's bath

I was collecting information.

 

 Irifuneyu. jpg

Well, Irifuneyu, a public bath near the current Hatchobori.

There is no sword hanging, but there is a strange and stunning tile painting.

Sir. A picture of ukiyo-e painted by the fourth generation Kunimasa Utagawa on a ceramic plate.

That's right. Why don't you enjoy it while soaking in hot water?

Do you think? It will be held on the 10th.
