This is a story about my daughter Azuki (older) preparing to attend school.
A month that goes back from the last story of choosing curtains.
Seniors (and their guardians) are conducted at elementary schools in the school area according to the notice from the ward.
You will go to a medical check-up at school. (Approximately in November)
・・Well, at that time, Azuki did a lot of things (laughs).
One of the letters I received at that time was "Notice of Standard Clothes for School Students".
Many elementary schools in Chuo Ward go to school wearing "standard clothes".
And ... in the case of Azuki's school destination.
The “New School Children's Parents' Association” will be held around February to receive clothes to be purchased.
That's right.
The event that occurs at this time is "ordering standard clothes" ... !
・・In fact, Edamame has passed all school life in plain clothes.
It's too unknown to get cold sweats ...
That's why one day after the medical examination was completed at school.
Edamame and Azuki went to the wholesale district in the area of Bakuroyokoyama.
That's because there's a school-designated store.
※Moms who already have their upper children are elementary school students
He said, "Oh, I can't do it at school this year."
Apparently before the COVID-19 pandemic, a vendor came to school on the day of the medical examination.
It seems that it was a system that could try on and order new students on the spot.
It seems to have become such a form because it avoids crowds.
History of wholesale districts in Yokoyamacho, Bakurocho, and Horidomecho (review)
Here, "Chuo-ku Monoshiri Encyclopedia" (the official text of the "Chuo-ku Tourism Certification" held the other day)
Let's review it while looking at it.
"After the opening of Edo, there have been many kimono merchants in Horidome-cho.
There were many temples and shrines, such as Nishi Honganji Temple Betsuin, near Yokoyamacho, but they were relocated due to the great fire of the Meiryaku era.
This area is an important highway, and booth goods wholesalers such as obi and Kanzashi, paper tobacco wholesalers, and ground double paper wholesalers gathered on the site to support Edo's life as a wholesale district.
Even today, the name is widely known both inside and outside the country as a wholesale district for textiles, clothing and daily necessities.
The Oedo wholesaler festival is held twice a year on Yokoyamacho, Bakurocho, and Shindo-dori, where you can enjoy the wholesaler experience only on this day. "
・・That's right.
Everyone who took the sightseeing test the other day, did you remember?
In fact, if you walk around here, you can see that there are many clothing-related shops lined up.
If you walk around, you may encounter unexpected bargains.
In places other than the designated shops of Azuki's School
There were several shops dealing with school hats and school supplies.
And recently, I renovated a place where I was a wholesaler
You can see some places where fashionable cafes have opened.
I think it's also an area where you can see a new side.
※However, there are a lot of people here.
Normally, there are places where "general customers" cannot enter.
Please be careful about that area.
The eyes of "professionals" watching the growth of children
That's why Edamame and Azuki arrived at the shop.
I tried to try it on.
I've seen a lot of children so far.
The shop is also used to it.
It's a fit of a jacket or a skirt length.
"I think this is my size,"
"Ah~ legs, in fact, there is a difference between the left and right. I have to match the bigger one."
※There is a surprisingly subtle difference between the legs and the left and right ... I didn't notice much.
"You have to use a blouse at the ceremony, but usually iron is hard and many polo shirts seem to have many children."
"It's okay to think about sweaters and vests in winter. You don't have to force yourself right now.
Oh, but not. See my 6th grade older brother and sister wearing it when it gets colder in April.
There are cases where I want to wear that too, so be careful about that.
I'm really looking forward to it. Because everyone looks cool."
I received various advice such as such, and the order was completed smoothly.
In addition to standard clothes, I ordered gym clothes and shoes for shoes here.
Surprisingly, I felt like I ordered a lot.
"Professionals" of school supplies that support local children.
And the children who secretly support the local industry.
It was a time when I realized that both were important.
"If you are in trouble, please come and consult us anytime."
Yes. We look forward to seeing you in the next six years!
