The summer melody of Minatokko Diary can be heard

Looking for the summer melody, Minato-chan goes out with a straw hat.

 

At Nihonbashi Diamond Building (former Edobashi Warehouse Building), I met a wonderful melody.

The street corner piano.

It was made by U.K. John Broadwoods & Sons in the 1930s, just like the time when the former Edobashi Warehouse Building was built.

It's a piano that people who go through the town play freely.

Music is playing in the middle of a busy city…。

Music enriches the expression of the city and gives a story at that moment.

Minato kid came to visit the town corner exhibition hall.

I was drawn to the sound of the piano…。

The city of Minato is also full of music.

Next to you, in Akashicho, St. Luke International Hospital.

The melody of the chapel of St. Luke Chapel in the courtyard of the old building is heard.

Three times in the morning, noon, and evening, Carillon chime plays the melody of the choir.

Akashicho was home to foreign settlements following the opening of Meiji period and Edo.

There were Western-style buildings of churches and mission schools, and there was a cityscape with exotic atmosphere.

The cross of St. Luke's Chapel, a landmark of the region.

And the melody of the town.

Speaking of summer, the cicada's Oai chanting.

On the Sumida River Terrace, in a park, behind a casual alley, I met a cicada singing voice in various places.

Walking along the moat of Tsukuda ...

The cicada started singing!

Where are you?

I also met a lively melody.

Bon Odori was held in early August at Tepposhu Children's Park.

The bright Japanese lantern is dazzling in the blue sky.

I'm busy preparing from the morning.

With the turret, not only Tokyo Ondo but also Tokyo

Chuo-ku original song, this is Edo Bon Dance!

And to make sure, it's exciting with a dancing hero.

And Sumiyoshi-jinja Shirine Reisai Festival in Tsukuda, the main festival.

The sound of the music arrives at the town of Minato for four days of the festival.

In the town of Tsukuda, a large banner is blowing the wind and looking up at the sky.

I'll listen to you...

The singing voice is heard here too.

Flowers on the Sumida River Terrace.

It has a faint color, sennichiko.

A stylish Ann geronia with lots of florets.

A little worrisome blue common sage.

The color of autumn is Kibana Cosmos.

Summerish, rose of sharon.

And sunflower ...

Everyone is singing a summer song with the sun.


Minato-chan gently listened to the summer melody played by Chuo-ku.
