Summer Picture Diary - Washing "Nabashi Nihonbashi" ~ 

 

Sunday, July 28th

When the sun went into the window, I woke up with the heat.

It's going to be a day that seems to melt today.

But this morning, I've been running out since I got up.

Once a year, I participate in a bridge wash in Nihonbashi on the fourth Sunday of July.

I wash the bridge with a deck brush with my dad's company.

"The flowers of the brush are blooming."

I thought it was a witch's flight instrument.

Near the start time of 9 o'clock, the uncles of the town council and the people of the company gathered in matching hanten.

There was also a great man from the company.

He said, "Oh, I'm fine. I'll ask you for it."

The face seemed scared, but the smiling face was a good person.

 

What is buried in the middle of the road

I'll tell you the important things I know.

Nihonbashi is embedded with the "Japan Road Mark" representing the starting point of the national highway.

It's in the middle of the road, so I can't usually see it.

It's a special day to be seen today.

After the opening ceremony, there was a lot of watering cars.

When I thought it was finally, I was thrilled.

The watering car is very powerful.

Jaba, Jaba, Jaba, Jaba.

The temperature around me dropped by about three degrees.

The foam of the detergent increased the feeling of everyone.

You'll use the deck brush with your waist down.

It feels like a scrunchy rather than a goshigoshi.

The little child was also working hard.

When you grow up, you might be able to become a "bridge wash professional" like me.

The fire brigade pump car is active in finishing.

It's small, but the power is amazing.

Clean the foam on the road, and also discharge water to the bridge nameplate of Nihonbashi on the highway to clean it.

 

"Nihonbashi" bridge washing is an event with a history that has been held since 1971.

It's going on for a long time than my year.

On the way home, I got a towel handkerchief of the original mark.

I heard that it was released in April.

Well, I'm looking at the real thing.

 

When I got home, the cicada rang with great momentum.

My summer vacation is over in the middle of the Semishigure.
