Koedo Itabashi

Oh! This pattern is drawn on the hand towel.

A mysterious pattern. What does it look like?

There are parts that look like a machine in a circular shape.

It is not a traditional Edo-style pattern.

What does the flower-like leaf-like square in the center of the left and right circles mean?

It also creates the atmosphere of the family crest.

For example, the "fourth crest", the "fourth crest" and the "fourth corner crest".

It is often used in the design of weapons, and is a crest used by samurai such as Mr. Sasaki of Genji Oomi.

 

Oh! This pattern is drawn on the hand towel.

 

The construction of a nationally designated heavy cultural property facing Nihonbashi Muromachi and Chuo-dori.

Western architecture characterized by a corinthic column.

The outer wall is made of granite from Inada, Kasama City, Ibaraki Prefecture.

A company name version was displayed on the door of the entrance, and a Japanese-style design "Yotsumemusubi" was engraved above it.

It is the family crest of the Mitsui family.

 

※　The square flower shape of the towel is Future Bloom, which represents the significance of Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Group's existence. It represents the founding principles of the Group's predecessor companies, namely honesty, service development, trust creation, and self-help autonomy.

 

Oh! This pattern is drawn on the hand towel.

 

1st basement floor of Mitsui Main Building, large safe.

It is a heavy door with a diameter of 2.5m and a thickness of 55cm.

This seems to have been photographed in a hand towel.

Mr. Umekichi Yoneyama, the father of the trust

The father of the trust, Umekichi Yoneyama! This pattern is drawn on the hand towel.

The March issue of the town magazine "Monthly Nihonbashi" in the Nihonbashi area featured "Japan's first full-fledged trust company."

Established by Mitsui Trust Bank, Ltd. in 1924. The growth and transition of the trust bank were summarized, centered on Umekichi Yoneyama, the father of the trust bank who rushed to the birth and the father of the Rotary of Japan.

The present of this magazine was "Invitation to visit Mitsui Main Building".

A valuable opportunity to guide you to places that are not open to the public.

I can't miss this chance.

I won the lottery because I was eager to participate by all means.

I can't wait for the day of late April.

Open and close a large 50t safe door

Open and close the 50t large safe door! This pattern is drawn on the hand towel.

"Would you like to move it?" Mr. Kimura, the person in charge, asks a smile.

"Yes, yes. I suppressed the voice of my heart saying I definitely want to do it, and raised my hand quickly while moving my body to the handle side of the safe.

Although it was on the program, I envied Mr. Tamo of NHK's Bra Tamori, who had been in and out of places where even employees could not enter, but I could do things that the employees of Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank could easily touch.

Since the completion of the Mitsui Main Building in 1929, a 50-ton metal lump that protects the protected depository as a symbol of the bank.

How much power do you need?

I held my waist low and put the whole weight on the handle.

The lubrication and maintenance must have been well done. With heavy resistance on his arm, he began to move quietly and slowly than he expected.

Um.

I could feel that it was full of smiles.

 

The former president's office and reception room with an electric fireplace is installed.

I was able to see the inside of the heavy cultural property in detail.

 

Oh! This pattern is drawn on the hand towel.

The "Tokyo Architectural Festival" is scheduled for Saturday, May 25 and 26 (Sun), where you can experience and enjoy a variety of architectures in Tokyo.

At that time, the joint entrance of Mitsui Main Building, the oldest existing American-type office building, will be opened to the public.

I would like to check the official website of the Tokyo Architectural Festival.

 

Oh! This pattern is drawn on the hand towel.

Based on the concept of "splendid, dignity and simplicity", it has high earthquake resistance.

In 1998, it was designated as a national heavy cultural property.

 

If I rent a safe deposit box in a large safe, can I use it as needed?

Let's borrow one.
