Green in the rain

Raining day after day makes us a bit unhappy.
Today I visited from hotel to hotel for distributing our latest catalog in the rain. It is for their guests who look for the place to find Japanese fine arts. Then, I just came back to the office with pictures to share with you. I found fresh green in the central Tokyo.

Cath up our Japanese blog!!

I'm sorry about leaving this English blog for a couple of months.
Nowadays our Japanese blog has many interesting topics. So it encourages me to get down this English version.

Each Shukado staff is very keen about seeking his/her favorite museum and gallery. 
There is a house called Zagyo-so at Meijimura Museum in Aichi Prefecture. This traditional wooden architecture has been owned by a prime minister of Meiji period, Saionji Kimimochi, for spending the last days of his life. The building was moved to the Museum and is open to the public.


Last week Hitomi visited another newly-reconstructed Zagyo-so at its original place in Okitsu, one of the Tokaido 53 Stations!

Her report says the house is quite security-conscious despite its calm and quaint appearance. Because of crime prevention buzzers everywhere, reinforced bamboo trellises, evacuation route from bathroom to concrete shelter, etc. Maybe the prime minister could not spend leisured life there contrary to his expectations.
