Marugoto Museum Ginza Okuno Building No. 306 Project 10th Anniversary Exhibition
I picked up a pamphlet for information on the whole museum in Chuo-ku and walked on the stage of "Ginza since the Edo period", "Ginza of Longing", and "Ginza of Two". I had a wonderful youth with Ginza. A popular song called "Your profile, it's wonderful ..." and a famous song called Ginza's love story, "It's numb to the bottom of my heart ..." were also born, and more than 3.35 million records were purchased. Was. It can be said that the prosperity of Showa was in harmony with those who lived and worked in Ginza.
After the Great Kanto Earthquake, instead of paper and wood dwellings, the construction aimed at earthquake resistance if fireproof could be fireproof was mortar, (if possible, looking for more solid reinforcing bars), reinforced concrete, steel reinforced concrete, and then reinforced concrete. Today, it is developing from a solid structure to an earthquake-resistant and seismic isolation structure. The wonderful "Ginza Apartment" was completed in 1932. The Suda Beauty Salon was the one who opened a beauty salon in room 306 of the Okuno Building and supported the success of women working in Ginza. In conjunction with the "Marugoto Museum 2020" held on November 8, you can visit room 306. Click here for the URL of the announcement. http://www.marugoto-chuo.jp/event/3037/
Ginza Okuno Building Room 306 Suda Beauty Salon
The Ginza Okuno Building has been opened under the name of Ginza Apartment.
In the apartment, Yoshiko Suda, who rented room 306, started "Suda Beauty Salon" for residents of the apartment and women in the neighborhood. This time, with the permission of Hirofumi Kurota, the leader of the Society for History and Preservation of this room, I will write the following historical facts.
Ginza Okuno Building Room 306 Project Suda Beauty Salon Signboard
We will introduce the manual of "Ginza Okuno Building No. 306 Project" distributed as it is.
First;
In the dim corridor on the third floor of the Okuno Building, a small signboard called "Suda Beauty Salon" was displayed. It was a stylish design that conveys the atmosphere of the past. However, at least for the last decade or so, you can't find anything like a beauty salon even if you look around. Perhaps the beauty salon, which had opened somewhere on this floor, closed the store and only the signboard left. However, apart from that background, this signboard itself, which conveys only the atmosphere of a beauty salon that does not exist as an entity, was so riddle and very impressive.
(The sign in this photo itself is a recent reproduction.)

Overview of Project Activities in Room 306, Ginza Okuno Building
■Overview■
The "Ginza Okuno Building Room 306 Project" is a non-profit activity that aims to utilize it while maintaining room 306.
Members with various backgrounds are gradually involved in each other, and are proceeding with their own plans. "Maintenance" does not mean maintenance in the sense of preserving archeological sites. In Room 306, for example, paints and wallpapers are decaying and peeling off, and the memory of the former borrower is being bleached. A single line drawn from the early Showa era to the early Heisei era will gradually become dotted lines, the distance between points increases, and when the interval between points becomes maximized, it will be forgotten.
"Maintenance" means that you should not intentionally intervene in such a passage of time. And as a single line disappears, each member draws lines of various thicknesses and lengths. I don't know how each line is ... of course, including the lines that are disappearing ... how to connect or not, and where it takes us.
The following two points are defined in this project.
・Members shall bear the rent to maintain the room.
・When using the service, not only comply with the "Principles of maintaining the status quo and returning to the status quo", but also the "current situation" that should be maintained includes a time system, so what is the "current situation" itself Is one theme.
It's an experimental project like that. Please check the schedule and come to room three o six.
