A deposited apartment

[whatever] June 25, 2014 09:00

 This building is located along the Shin-ohashi-dori St.. It may be noticed by many people. When I look for the entrance, it says "Shokin Apartment". It seems to be read as "Shokin Apartment". Every time I passed, I was looking at it while saying "It's old", honestly "I'm bored." There's nothing wrong with me. It's rather friendly. I would like to support the old building, still do my best.

 According to the investigation, it seems that it was built in 1931, and it was recruited until a few years ago. That said, it didn't seem to be inhabited by people, but there were restaurants on the first floor, and there was a sense of life. Certainly until around April of this year ...

 In June, I had twice had the opportunity to pass in front of the building, but it seems that the situation was different from before ... maybe most of the stores on the first floor have been closed.
 Of course, I think it has been renovated several times, but has that also reached its limit? Is it destined to be demolished?

The first two photos were taken in April of this year. The third photo was taken in June.
Before April, I feel like there was a store where products were lined up on the sidewalk side ...

There's a small veranda on the 2nd or 3rd floor.
The elevator doesn't seem to be installed.

On the 4th to 5th floors, the floor plan is different, or the window seems to be a little smaller.

How long have you been using it?
The signboard of the shop still remains. Maybe you're still in business here...

Shitamachi Union imperial procession (Sanno Festival)

[Tachibana] June 15, 2014 14:00

The Sanno Festival, one of the three major festivals in Edo, is being held, and the Shitamachi Union imperial procession was held on the 15th, where 12 portable shrine units such as Nihonbashi, Kyobashi and Hatchobori travel along Chuo-dori from Kyobashi to Nihonbashi.

I grew up in Nihonbashi Tachibana-cho (Higashibashi 3-chome), so I'm in Kanda festival, but since I was familiar with the festival where I used to elaborate drums on the floats of the town council before I was carrying a child portable shrine, I went to see the Sanno Festival Shimomachi Union imperial procession.

 

The fine portable shrine of each town is coming one after another. portable shrine can continue to carry it without a break, so there is a large number of people in one portable shrine, and the total is quite large.
 

 

The highlight is the portable shrine in the sense of giving the gods in front of the shrine parishioner of Kanda Myojin (the shrine parishioner of Kanda Myojin on the north side of Nihonbashi, and the shrine parishioner of Hie-jinja Shrine on the south side of this year).

The spectators were also surrounded by triple and four times, and applauded with portable shrine's rhythm.

 

In portable shrine, Nihonbashi, there were many people wearing happi coat, a well-known company nearby, such as Mitsui Fudosan, Takashimaya, Taro Sakae, Kokubun, Nomura Securities and Tokyo Tatemono. It's the most popular festival in Edo Tokyo.
