This is convenient! Kyobashi and Nihonbashi "Antique Street MAP"
"Antique Street MAP" received at the Chuo-ku Tourist Information Center in Kyobashi Edgran
From a long-established antique dealer named Kyobashi / Nihonbashi to a gallery of contemporary art, this is a town walk MAP where you can stroll through Japan's largest art districts.
The size is a slightly smaller B6 size (125 x 178 mm) in a folded state, and when spread, it becomes both sides of 12 B6 small size sheets.
I would like to introduce what kind of MAP is available.
Store introduction aspect
The store introduction side is divided into five areas, A to E, and the characteristics of each area are briefly introduced.
For example, area A is the Kyobashi 3-chome area, where many shops dealing with contemporary art and young artists come in contact with Ginza. The lively atmosphere of Edo town, such as the bamboo bank, the radish bank, and the ruins of the Kyobashi main pillar, remains. "
In each store, red is divided into an antique dealer, blue is a gallery / gallery, and the address, telephone number, business days and open hours of each store are shown along with photos.
The surface of the map
The opposite map surface is divided into A to E according to the folding line, and it is made in consideration of the usability of the folding map.
The store has a color-coded number and store name, but not only that, but also restaurants, cafes and cafes, souvenirs and other shops, hotels and inns, historical facilities, etc. are displayed, as well as columns and old town names Information is included, and this one piece makes the Kyobashi area perfect.
Origin of Antique Street
Well, why did you come to be called as antiques? It seems that there are various theories, but its origins are also introduced along with wonderful pictures.
Origin of Antique Street
What's the name of the antique street?
Higashinaka-dori is sometimes called "antiku-dori", but the origin of its name is various theories.
Among them, unique is the theory that the names of long-established husbands in the Meiji, Taisho eras, and early Showa eras are named parents. They get off the car around Nihonbashi Tsubo Nakai (103) and casually buy expensive antiques on the way to visit the restaurant with geisha people, and finally return on the car they waited in front of Kyobashi Ryusen-do (34). It is said that they were walking in such a smart city called this street "antique street" as a nickname.
MAP Who made it?
Well, who created this wonderful MAP?
Since the issuance is made by Toda Construction Co., Ltd., Tokyo Dumbo visited and told us about the history of the issuance.
Mr. Ayako Kobayashi, General Manager of Kyobashi Project Promotion Department, Domestic Investment Development Division, Strategic Business Promotion Office, Toda Construction Co., Ltd., and Mr. Mototaku Hisagi and Kana Takeshita of Communication Design Division, Communication and Design Division, respectively.
Toda Construction is rebuilding the headquarters of Kyobashi 1-chome, but together with Museum Tower Kyobashi, where the adjacent Artizon Museum is located, a special zone proposal was made to Tokyo with the aim of `` creating a base for arts and culture '' and `` strengthening local disaster prevention capabilities ''. It seems that the city planning has been decided, and "Kyobashi Aya Ward" has established an integrated area management as a collective term for its cultural contribution facilities and engages in various art and engages in various art and cultural activities.
As part of this, Toda Construction has decided to work on creating a map of antique streets, including contributing to the Kyobashi and Nihonbashi areas.
In addition to the three people who told us about the actual MAP creation, it seems that the Tokyo Art Antique Secretariat and five designers actually visited each store as a fieldwork, so it was just made with feet It's a map!
It was only when I actually walked around, but the signs of antique shops introduced on the MAP, and their dignity and personality are reflected on the signboard as it is.
Certainly, there are many small but unique signs.
The old town name of Kyobashi 1-chome, where Toda Construction currently under rebuilding is located, is "Ogamachi", which is derived from the town of a saw craftsman who cuts a board from wood, and it is said that it is perfect for Toda construction in the construction industry It was interesting.
In addition, antique dealers and galleries tend to feel that the threshold is a bit high, but it is important to know the precautions for appreciation with peace of mind, and it is said that it was compiled as a Q & A.
This MAP is vol 1, and it is said that a revised version will be created in line with the completion of the rebuilding work of Toda Construction in 2024. Tokyo Dumbo will also cooperate.
I thought that Toda Construction'sse initiatives were wonderful activities that also contributed to the development of Chuo-ku. Thank you very much, and I hope you will continue to do your best.
With a MAP in hand, walk through antique streets
Tokyo Dumbo, with this antique street MAP in one hand, assaulted an antique dealer who usually doesn't turn his legs.
I chose Mr. Nakai (103), who came out from the origin of antique street.
When I entered the shop, it seemed that I knew it was a customer for the first time when I saw the MAP in hand, and on the third floor, I was gently guided that I could see the works of artists who are currently active as a gallery He gave me
Even after the appreciation on the third floor, I was guided by Gallery Kochukyo (95) from another store, and I was able to enjoy the town very much by visiting there.
This MAP can be obtained at each store listed on the MAP in addition to the tourist information center, so why not enjoy visiting antique shops and galleries?
