The birthplace of public performance · Taito Ward. In this district I wish for the further development of entertainment and culture which has been cultivated by my predecessors from Saturday, August 4, 2018, Saturday, February 16, 2019 (Saturday), “Edo Machi Taito Arts Festival” is held.
Honorary advisor is Takeshi Kitano who has started his carrer in Taito.
This festival is divided into two parts-the summer part and winter part and a variety of programs are held in each parts.
This time, I came to celebrate the opening of the entertainment festival and interviewed the opening event which took place on Saturday, August 4, so we will deliver that state.
Mikiyo & Putyarin feat. Toraichiro Kuruma
This event started at 16 o’clock. The day is still high and the temperature is 34 degrees, but people gather around the stage.
A singer-song writer Mikiyo from Asakusa, whose glittering kimono is eye-catching.
Toraichiro Kuruma. It looks exactly like Tora-san from the movie “It’s tough being a man” .
Puttarinn who plays a pantomime according to the song ‘I want to be a big tree’. While being humorous, he performed with plenty of emotions looked somewhat melancholy.
Singing guide
These guides usually sing songs from showa-era on the bus while take customers around Tokyo. Today they appeard on the stage and sang! sang!!
Everyone moved the body according to the music ‘YOUNG MAN’.
Piyo Piyo Revolution
Later days have fallen so much that I can feel the coolness. The way to stop your feet in front of the stage starts to increase further.
Piyo Piyo Revolution is a theater company that embodies a powerful live style theater that combines songs, dance and play, as if you can enjoy a story as if you were watching a music live.
Today challenged the attempt to build a play based on the keywords recruited from the customer on the spot. I am excited about what kind of story I am watching. As if it was really a music live, it was a play that involves customers and develops.
Asakusa Yasugi Yamato Ichiza
Yasugi is a folk song of Shimane prefecture familiar with scoops but it became a big boom in Asakusa and Osaka during Taisho era.
Taito ward headman Yukuo Hattori and the parliamentary chair of Taito-ku Junnosuke Kono
Yukuo Hattori, Taito ward headman said ;This year 150 years renamed from Edo to Tokyo.The first year of the Edo Renaissance, I would like to widely tell culture unique to Taito-ku, which is rich in taste and richness with various attempts.
Junnosuke Kono, the parliamentary chair of Taito-ku, said ;Taito-ku is the birthplace of popular entertainment and culture.There have been many entertainers and cultural people who have been born in this area.In order to further develop as a cultural center, We held a festival for the entertainment this time, I want to raise up not only in Ueno but in Asakusa, Yanaka etc. throughout Taito Ward.
Special Guests (Ms. Kayoko Kishimoto, Mr. Al Kitagou)
At the end of the today’S event it supposed to air the movie ‘Kikujiro’, whichi is directed by this “Edo Machi Taito Arts Festival” ‘s Honorary advisor Takeshi Kitano.
Actress Kayoko Kishimoto who played Kikujiro’s wife in the movie and Al Kitago who served as Takeshi Kitano’s assistant for many years have appeared.
‘Kikujiro’ is a road movie where a boy who is separated from his mother and a middle-aged man Kikujiro (played by Takeshi Kitano) go on a journey to search for his mother. As Taito Ward / Asakusa was the departure place of the trip, the screening at the opening event was decided.
This movie was released in 1999 and was told in comparison with’HANA-BI’, which won the Golden Lion award at the Venice International Film Festival in 1997.
Ms. Kishimoto says;’HANA-BI’ has a lot of violence expressions and Kitano’s scary aspect is out, but in ‘Kikujiro’, we can see Kitano’s gentle part, weak part .
Asakusa is the place where Takeshi started taking a step as an entertainer, and this movie is the only one that Asakusa is the stage in Kitano’s work. ‘Kikujiro’ is the name of Kitano’s father, and in this movie Kikujiro’s wife has something in common with Kitano’s mother Saki. From these episodes, I felt that this work is a memorable work for Kitano.
Screening is starting when the expectation of the customer for the movie has reached the climax with numerous other storytelling. Enjoy the movie while hitting the night wind in the spacious outdoors, today’s event is over.
A variety of programs will be held in the fields of entertainment, movies, and theater in various places in Taito Ward, “Edo Machi Taito Arts Festival” started on August 4 (Saturday). Since most of them can participate for free, feel free to look into them. For details, please see the official website below.

"BENTO Gento Exhibition – Eating / Collecting · Connecting Design" is held at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum from Saturday, July 21, 2018 to October 8 (Monday, congratulation). We participated in the press coverage on July 20th, so we will report on its contents this time!
"The lazy boku" which we normally use is said. What kind of feeling do you always eat?
While talking with friends who always eat buddies together? Or do you imagine the person who made it?
From the parlor bento to the lunch for every day, "lazulth" is deeply rooted in our lives. The lunch boxes that someone made made are "gifts" handed down from people to people and have played an important role since ancient times as a social tool to deepen the connection between people and people.
"Person who makes a lazy birthday" stuffs lunch boxes with ingredients considering nutritional balance and overall color and placement. This is something you can not do without thinking about the person who really eats it. There is a story between the person who eats and the person who makes it. In other words, the laptop is also a communication tool for "eating".
This exhibition is an attempt to grasp "Japan's unique culture" "senpa" from the aspect of communication and design. At the venue, unique playful lunch boxes and contemporary artists' participatory works are exhibited, which makes it a space where you can experience the charm of a lumpy body throughout the body and gain a new viewpoint.
"Senpu" which can sing and dance? !
The exhibition starts with a fun new animation work produced by Hiraku Ogura of "Fermentation Designer" <Dinosaur>. Works that make it easy to sing with melancholy patterns of "Yuru" and lyrics, lyrics, choreography, sing and dance to naturally understand dozens of things.
"The feeling that can not be said is the hakushi taste. Let's stick around, as I thought"
<Literally DAYS> is impressive not only for the young characters, but also the scenery of the rich four seasons and the lyrics that seems simple and deeply understandable. Dance, sing. A new "festival experience" in which a movement using the body opens. Please join us at the venue!
Fun communication created by "BENTO"
At the underground gallery, a number of artists' works focused on communication produced by Kentaro are exhibited.
In response to a letter from the reader that "I want to make such a box lunch to everyone", Mr. Ayumi Oosu made a box lunch and delivers recipes and lunch to readers, "Ayumi cafeteria's lunch box" actually Displayed photographs taken by Hirano Taro on the boxed lunch produced. In addition, at the corner of the hall, there is also a corner where you decide the theme and your opponent with roulette and try to try Ayumi Shokudo.
The work "Hiruzu" by Mr. Saeki Abe copied the figure that various people eat silent lunch silently. "What kind of person made it?" "How do you feel?" Just watching the photos can inspire imagination.
Also introduces exhibits that you can think over about relationships between you and the surrounding world around yourself starting from lunch boxes.
Toru Oyamada 's work is "Oda bento" which the eldest daughter devised a lunch box and draws his daily work that Mr. Oyamada who is his father makes lunch boxes based on the picture. There are also lunch boxes for ideas that I can not think of making very much for adults, and I think it is fun to think that Mr. Oyamada might have faced this "unbeliever" with any feelings.
Mr. Yasuhiro Moriuchi holds a workshop where children will make documentary images of how junior high school students make lunch boxes themselves without borrowing from their parents. The project is displayed as an image work. If you open the lunch box on the table, there is also a unique production that the images of junior high school students who participated in the box flow.
Rediscover "Gensen". Participation experience type "Intangible bento"
Marije Vogelzang , an "eating designer" that designs to eat. Her exhibition expresses the aspect of "no touching or viewing" aspect of the lunch box as an animated story with "Intangible bento" exhibition, inviting us inside.
It is a space where visitors themselves can think carefully and rediscover their lunches through works that capture our familiarized vegetables from a different viewpoint than usual.
Marije Vogelzang
At the venue, you can listen to the voices of the spirits using "spirit phone". What they speak to is a laptop's "future possibility" such as invisible memories and stories with producers, bioplastic lunchboxes and insect foods.
Bento is not only a person who eats from the person who makes it but it may be a gift from you who lives in the future to you in the future.
FRAGMENTS PASSAGE – OSUSOWAKE Alley
OSUSOWAKE means giving someone a part of something you have.
The pleasure of eating someone with a buddy is "dishes exchange." There are many people like that. Mr. Jun Kitazawa paid attention to the element of this "OSUSOWAKE", and built "OSUSOWAKE Yokocho" to think about the feelings and culture in the museum.
In this street reminiscent of the landscape of the traditional market in Southeast Asia, there is a space where you can freely talk about what you brought. Bring something from the house or spread rugs in the plaza. At a corner of the venue, a workshop using 'OSUSOWAKE' gathered at the sideways was also held. There is no air like 'teach' anything to someone there. To the end this is also 'OSUSOWAKE', so everyone was tackled in an atmosphere that was very free and relaxing.
In addition to the luncheon box of a beautiful and unique shape used at the party in the Edo period at the venue, various lunch boxes of the world are introduced. Focusing on ingenuity and design for "eating" in our culture, think about communication between people and people that occurs through the act of "eating lunches".
Also, on August 20, "Kids Day" will be held on Monday of the closed holiday. We can enjoy relaxing with parents and children with enjoyable participation type program, as well as collaboration planning and workshop with Tokyo Metropolitan Symphony Orchestra during the exhibition.
Looking, listening, touching and having fun "BENTO Greetings Exhibition – Eating / Collecting / Connecting Design".
The hall is full of lovely "hospitality" and playfulness.
Why do not you feel the connection with your important person through everyone's favorite meals?
