Karuta, Chuo-ku of Minatokko-chan ♪ A line
Hello, this is Minato kid.
It's a little early, but I tried to make "Chuo-ku Karuta" for the New Year!
It's a line today!
♪ Hatchobori Power Concentric Seven Wonders
Hatchobori was Yashikicho, a long time ago in the Edo period, a friend of the common people and concentric with power. The key-shaped tool used to catch the bad guys is called ten hands, decorated with vermilion tufts, and walking on the waist was the hero itself. However, the life of power and concentric, wrapped in a little mystery, will be handed down in the form of "Seven Wonders".
♪ Hiroshige Blue Ukiyo-e, Yasunaga-do
Hiroshige Utagawa (1797-1858), one of the leading ukiyo-e artists of the Edo period, lived in Yaesu today. Published by Yasunaga-do on Rei Kishijima in 1833 (1833), Tokaido Gojusanji showed not only the beauty of his work, but also the distant scenery that he did not know yet to the people of Edo who have never traveled. He showed me. Hiroshige's deep indigo color of the sea and river has had a great influence on overseas painters and is called "Hiroshige Blue".
♪ Autumn of Flower Carpet Harumi Triton Art
One of the events of the "Chuo-ku Marugoto Museum" held every November, "Flower Carpet Harumi", held in Triton, Harumi, is an arrangement of the annual flower festival in Jenzano, Italy. The carpet of paintings drawn on the sidewalk with rose petals will delight us.
♪ Henry Falls Fingerprint Research and Health Company
On the green road in front of St. Luke Garden, there is a stone monument honoring Henry Falls' achievements. In 1874 (1874), Henry Falls, who came to the Tsukiji foreign settlement, focused on the old custom of Japanese people, `` thumbprint, '' and discovered that each person had different fingerprints. . This study is useful for the current fingerprint investigation. Also, at the beginning of today's St. Luke International Hospital, we opened a small clinic called Kenkosha. I sometimes looked at people suffering from illness free of charge.
♪ Pedestrian parasol that blooms on Ginza Street
The pedestrian paradise on Ginza Street began in 1970 (1970) under the name of the Holiday Promenade. At that time, during the period of high economic growth, the number of cars increased and traffic conditions deteriorated. Therefore, it is intended to ensure the safety of pedestrians and to walk slowly and spend a holiday. Even today, the Ginza Street is full of people who sit and rest, drink juice, and window shopping.
