Visiting...






We have visited the Art Museum of the city of Fuchu, it is outside of the 23 districts of Tokyo, maybe
it is not as well known as the museums that are in Shibuya, Roppongi, etc, but it is a very special museum, which makes exhibitions with very valuable works by great Japanese authors.

On this occasion we went to see an exhibition called "Perverse Japanese Art: From Zen Painting to Heta-uma". The exhibition was very interesting, but the catalog did not seem very good, especially due to the format, it was very small.

Therefore we say look for catalogs of other exhibitions made previously, since we know that there are very good exhibitions there. And we were lucky we found two very interesting catalogs:

"Nineteenth Century Edo Paintings"
69,99€
"Figure Paintings from the Edo Period - The Beauty, Power, and Eccentricity of Human Figures"
59,99€



Machines to buy Rice:

Tokyo Edo Fire Museum

The Birth of Samurai Firefighters The organized system of firefighting started in 1629 during the time of the third Tokugawa shogun, Iemitsu. When fires would break out, the government would send letters called Hōjibikeshi (legal fire extinguisher) which contained official orders to activate the firefighters. However, in response to repeated fires, the government investigated measures to further strengthen this system. In 1643, the government designated several Daimyō for this task with their primary function being the protection of Edo Castle and the surrounding samurai houses. This was the creation of the Daimyō firefighting brigade or Daimyōbikeshi (Daimyo legal fire extinguisher). In 1657, the first of the Three Great Fires of the Edo Era, the Great Fire of Meiireki , erupted. In the following year, the government took the opportunity to create a firefighting organization called the Jōbikeshi (regular firefighters) and appointed four high ranking retainers and their household
