Color that lives in Kinshun style
In the Edo period, Kinharu Inari was enshrined in the place where the residence of the Noh Kinharu style was located. The place of worship from the Shogunate was thriving as a flower district where geisha gathers when townspeople began to live as a tenement house for Noh actors. This Kinshun Inari is the Inari protected by a geisha who had a hut on Kinshun Shindo.
This year's Noh Golden Spring Festival Road Votive Noh and Noh Lectures have been canceled, but as usual, "Kinharu Inari", enshrined on the roof of the building from Saturday, August 1 to 7 (Fri), is recommended to Kinharu Street.
By the way, the color used on the nameplate on the street is called "Kinharu".
In this flower district, the color that was popular among Kinshu Geisha since the end of the Meiji era, is officially Shimbashi color. It is a new color that appeared with the import of chemical dyes. The bright blue-green color that is not found in natural dyeing was fresh and pleased, and was quickly incorporated into kimonos, and was widely used in prints and paintings.
Shimbashi geishas, who love new things, may have been at the forefront of fashion. Now, it is a venerable Kinshu-dori, which is said to be the "last fort in Ginza" that retains the Edo atmosphere.
