It is still February, but warm days continue, and early blooming kawazu-zakura (Kawazu Sakura) can be heard from everywhere.

kawazu-zakura is also blooming at Sendai Bridge Park, located at the foot of Sendai Bridge.

This is the kawazu-zakura of Sendai Bridge, which was introduced at night cherry blossoms last March.

kawazu-zakura's name comes from being discovered around 1955 in the Kawazu region of Minamiizu.

kawazu-zakura is estimated to be a natural hybrid of oshima cherry (Oshima Sakura) and Kanhizakura (Kanhizakura).

The flowers are pink or light red, with a darker pink color than Yoshino cherry tree, and a longer flowering period of one month.

In the small Sendai Bridge Park, there are also Yoko (sunlight), late blooming Fugenzo (fugen elephant), and weeping cherry tree (weeping cherry), where you can enjoy various cherry blossoms for a long time in the same park.

Motohashi Hie-jinja Shrine is located close to Tokyo Metro Kayabacho Station and adjacent to Kabuto-cho. The precincts are large despite the city center and are unexpectedly quiet.

/

It has been known as the resting place of portable shrines of the Sanno Festival since the Edo period, and it is still a resting place for the festival procession at the shrine festival.

/

/

The komainu of this shrine is rare and facing up.

This is said to have been consecrated in hopes of recovery from the Great Kanto Earthquake and rising luck.
It's called "upward" and luck is going up.

Manet Ken's waffle, which is always in line
I often saw it when I was living in Osaka.
Actually, I wonder if it's so delicious that it's lined up.
I've never eaten it (laughs).

　
Looking at it, the head office is Osaka and the first store is Umeda.
It seems that there are currently 11 stores in Osaka.
When I saw the line in Ginza, "Eh? Do you line up with Manet Ken?"
I think it was like that.

　
Go to Belgium two years ago and eat waffles
Knowing the origin of the word Manet Ken
(Manet Ken Piss means a piss.)
At Manet Ken in Ginza, where there is always a line from there
Suddenly I thought I would buy a waffle.
It was November last year.

　
Seasonal waffles come out every month, and in November it is caramel apple.
And I bought plain and chocolate.
It's delicious and surprised when you eat it (laughs).

　

　

　

They were lined up in the chocolate marble in December.

　

　

　
For the time being, let's eat a whole 12-month change.♪

　
In addition to Ginza, there are Akihabara, Yaesu and Ikebukuro.
There aren't so many stores, so it's convinced that you can line up in Ginza.

At the Megumi Ogita Gallery, a gallery on the first basement floor of the Ginza Otsuka Building, Ginza 2-chome, the 6th exhibition of works by Yoshimasa Tsuchiya is being held at the exhibition "Holiday".

The period is from Friday, February 22 to March 23 (Sat).

The time is from 11:00 to 19:00, and Sundays, Mondays and holidays are closed.

In 2016, at this gallery, I saw Tsuchiya's solo exhibition "Tree of Life" and was fascinated by his work.

In the Tree of Life, the Holy Beasts and Phantom Beasts were exhibited with divine, mysterious and mysterious vitality.

In this exhibition, works with motifs of dinosaurs, bears, giraffes, boys, etc. are exhibited.

It's so smooth that I don't think the material is wood (mainly camouflage)

However, it must be warmth and warmth that can only be produced by trees.

Deer works with transparent carved are also on display.

Tsuchiya's work is created by solid traditional techniques and unique new senses, and makes you feel fresh.

Please drop in by all means

This time, we also received special consent for photography in the gallery.
