March 3rd is the Tokyo Marathon

[Gin Tangeron] February 25, 2019 09:00

It's nice, isn't it?

 

The Tokyo Marathon, which delights your eyes with elaborate appearances and various costumes.

This year, I would like to pay attention to the performance of the roadside.

 

In terms of record

It is worth noting how much the effect of "heat absorber" on Chuo-dori is effective.

 

All the runners should do their best!

Hasegawa Ginza Main Store Hinas also sold incense food candle gift set

[Silver] February 24, 2019 18:00

 At the Hasegawa Ginza Main Store, famous for its Buddhist altar Hasegawa commercial, facing Ginza Street, Hina doll seemed smiling at me. The Buddha was not waving his hand, so I entered the store.

 Mr. Amida's guidance or a kind woman responded and explained.

The one I tried was a bell. When the bell rings, the lingering sound remains with Lean and a clear sound. It's the subject of the next purchase.

 In relation to Buddhist utensils, there were incense and smell bags. In the Buddhist world, it is said that Buddhas do not eat rice or fruits, but eat the scent as a meal. And it seems that this is called incense food.

 Life wrapped in a faint scent makes you feel calm.

And recently, there is a custom of giving gorgeous incense stick or candles as gifts. 

This is a Japanese sweets-style candle gift set.

 It's fun to decorate your room.

 

 

Fuji seen in spring's Ukiyo-e

[Asunaro] February 24, 2019 12:00

February 23rd, Mount Fuji Day.

At Machiya in Nihonbashi, Edo Castle and Mount Fuji are as much as possible.
The city planning was done so that I could expect.

Tsuga Tefu_400.jpg

Suruga Tefu and Surugacho are located in front of the street in Suruga.
It is a town designed so that you can see Mount Fuji.
The name of the town was given from this view.

It depicts a broad composition that forms a pair with Mount Fuji.
You can feel good luck on the streets of the town.

Currently, stone structures such as the main building of the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store and the Mitsui Main Building are made of stone.
It's a street lined with Historic buildings.

I can't see Mount Fuji hidden in the building, but I can't see it.

It is also known as a famous spot for cherry blossoms in spring.

A famous place in Edo where you can enjoy Nishiki-e.
 Hiroshige, 100 famous views of Edo.

Winter only! Lemonade of a flower shop

[Hanes] February 24, 2019 09:00


Good evening. This is a new correspondent, Hanes.
The other day, on the way back to the seasonal waterfront course by bicycle.
Coincidentally a cute shop was caught in my eyes and I've been detouring!

IMG_4509.JPG

This shop, which is wonderful even at night, is a flower shop FANCY FLOWER STORE.
It has a different atmosphere from other flower shops, and it is elaborate on the display.
It looks like a reference for gardening.

We handle houseplants, flowers, and preserved flowers.
If you look closely, you will find even cooking herbs, and it will be fun just by looking at them.

However, as you can see in the picture, it's not just cute!
At this counter, which is attached to the flower shop, you can purchase special drinks.

IMG_4490.JPG

The menu includes green smoothies with cold prevention and beautiful skin effects, daily smoothies.
And non-sugar winter-only HOT lemonade using domestic lemons.

The sweetness of nature that cannot be reproduced with commercially available lemonade is gentle.
It also served as a supplement to vitamins, and it was delicious.

If Mr. Itoya's lemonade is a stationery store's lemonade.
This is a flower shop's lemonade

Perhaps because it was a job that values the scent of flowers, I felt that the scent of lemonade was excellent.

Watercolor Painting Exhibition

[Many Books] February 23, 2019 18:00

This is an introduction of an exhibition that also serves as an advertisement. After retirement, I draw watercolors using pens as a hobby. I go out to the suburbs of Tokyo once a month with less than 20 people, and once a year I have an exhibition of everyone at the gallery in Kyobashi.

 

This is a gallery near "Chuo-ku Tourist Information Center" (@ Kyobashi Edgran). Please take a peek at the foot that has stopped by the center. The event will be held from Monday, February 25 to March 3 (Sun).
