Restored Tokyo Imperial Palace Bridge Lamp from 1888

Location: Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum, Tokyo Timestamp: 16:12 on October 25, 2023

Pentax K-1 II + DFA 28-105mm F3.5-5.6 105 mm ISO 200 for 1/125 sec. at ƒ/7.1

Captured in this image is an ornamental electric light, a stunning example of Baroque style, originally positioned at the main gate of the Imperial Palace in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo, from the late 1880s to the mid-1890s.

In my most recent blog post (https://www.pix4japan.com/blog/20231025-bridge-lamp), I explore the history of the German manufacturer of the lamp and their influence on Japan's modernization (3-minute read).

2nd May

Edo-Tokyo Open-Air Architectural Museum is in Koganei Park.

There are many kinds of architectures in the open-air museum.

For example, the architectures of Edo period, from 200 to 400 years ago, or Showa era, from 40 to 100 years ago.

Also it seems that Miyazaki Hayao referred to these architectures when he made the film “千と千尋の神隠し (Spirited Away)”.

Those were interesting for my wife and me but my daughter interested in a big carp pennants called “鯉のぼり” decorated in the museum.

My take on the Tokyo Grand Tea Ceremony 2023

Every year there is an event in Tokyo called The Tokyo Grand Tea Ceremony. Since I missed it last year, I made sure to visit it this year!

I took this opportunity to take a friend with me. She knew basically nothing about tea ceremony and asked me so many questions. It made me so happy to share this little world with someone.

Note: This is not the tea room where the event took place, but a tea room in one of the show houses of the museum.

I have so many thoughts about this event. So let me structure them with some questions ✨

When and where is this event taking place?

The event is usually held on two weekends in October. On the first weekend it is held at the Hamarikyu-Gien and on the second weekend at the Edo Tokyo Architecture Open Air Museum.

Note: I only went to the tea ceremony at Edo Tokyo Architecture Open Air Museum.

Some impressions of the museum’s show houses.

How to get tickets?

There are different kinds of tea ceremonies to participate it. Indoor, Outdoor Nodate, for Children and Indoor with English commentary.

The Indoor one is probably the most formal one. Tickets for this one are only available via a lottery which has to be booked a few month in advance! I had no idea about that, but I wasn’t genuinely surprised to be honest.

Tickets for all the other ones are sold on the day. Yet I would recommend to arrive at least before noon, because once the seats are sold out, they are gone.

When we arrived at 11am we could only get tickets for the Outdoor Nodate or Indoor with English commentary slots at 3pm and later. Everything before that was already sold out.

What to expect?

It’s the perfect occasion to get in touch with tea ceremony in a semi-formal way. Some participant seemed a bit more familiar but everything was explained very well. We got a little sheet with information about the guests manners. Additionally, they explained everything during the tea ceremony itself as well. But I have to admit that both explanations didn’t matched 100%. Let’s just say you’ll be guides through everything.

Each slot was about 25 minutes. You will get a Japanese wagashi and a bowl of matcha. As I would expect, this event was hold by the Urasenke school. It’s usually like this, since Urasenke seems to be more present in general.

Next to the tea ceremony events they also have some additional cultural program you can join for free. We went to a little classical concert in an old bath house. As one can imagine, the acoustics where unbelievable.

The bath house as venue for a concert.

What it worth it?

For me, every experience around tea ceremony is worth it. But to be honest, for how fast the event is sold out, the slot was over just to fast. 25 minutes is really not that long. So I tried to observe every move. But once I got my wagashi I was so distracted haha.

As for learnings, I took this as an opportunity to spot some differences between Urasenke and Omotesenke. This is a fun practice and helps to consolidate all the steps. The overall order what is done is almost identical. It’s more how each step is performed is sometimes SO different.

And I always love to see all the different kinds of utensils. They all had a very autumn-ish touch which fitted the occasion very well.

Some impressions of the utensils.

Additionally to all the tea ceremony experience, the location was really interesting. And on that day entrance to the Edo Tokyo Architectural Open Air Museum was completely free. So we spend our waiting time exploring all these old houses and joining the other programs I mentioned earlier. That definitely added up to the experience in a whole.

So as you might can guess, yes it was definitely worth the time and money. Yet, I’m not sure if I would go there again next time. But thats mainly because I live so far away from both venues haha.

Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum

This was one of my favorite museums of the entire month! I've never been to anything like it before. When I tried describing to others how it was an entire neighborhood of houses built in different Japanese architectural styles I felt like the description fell flat. I can't quite describe in words the feeling of walking through the houses. It was like walking through time. I also noticed how there were very few signs with information on them. I noticed one at the entrance to every house but that was mostly it. Part of me wishes that I could have known more about the styles but I kinda liked not knowing too. What I saw was subject only to my interpretation of it, baked by six measly art history credits.

Culture class day!

In the morning, we learned about tea ceremony. That was super interesting, but we didn’t get to truly participate in tea ceremony because of COVID restrictions. We sat around and went through the motions, but didn’t get to eat or drink. Thankfully, we were sent away with snacks.

Then we spent the afternoon at the Edo-Tokyo Open-Air Architectural Museum. Apparently this is a place that heavily inspired some of the locations in Spirited Away, and the mascot for the place was even created by Hayao Miyazaki. It was super neat.

It was so cool be allowed to enter all these historical buildings and see what they were really like. Unfortunately, I was tired and dehydrated, so I didn’t enjoy it to the fullest I could. Still so cool, though.

Afterwards, the school staff got us back to the station, but as a group, we students decided not to go back right away. Instead, we were curious about the Mega Don Quijote by the station. It really was big. And it even sold bicycles. And one of the guys found where they were also selling slot machines? It was wild and a little overstimulating.

I’m definitely glad I signed up for these culture classes. I would never have gone that far out on my own, so it’s super helpful that someone else is calling the shots. I’m super excited for the next class. That one is the day-trip to Kamakura, but it’s in two weeks. Before that, we have our midterm exam, so I’ll have to focus a bit more intensely on studying for the next little while.

Tokyo Streetcar from 1962

Location: Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum, Tokyo Timestamp: 15:58 on October 25, 2023

Pentax K-1 II + DFA 28-105mm F3.5-5.6 53 mm ISO 400 for 1/125 sec. at ƒ/7.1

The 7500 series streetcar was once a vital part of Tokyo’s tram lines, traversing three routes connecting Shibuya, Shinbashi, Hamacho-Nakanohashi, and Suda-cho Stations. Placed in the Edo-Tokyo Open Air Architectural Museum, this restored streetcar is a captivating piece of Tokyo's past for all generations to enjoy.

In my most recent blog post (https://www.pix4japan.com/blog/20231025-streetcar), I explore the history of the 7500 Series streetcar, a quick look at streetcar usage during the Showa Era in Tokyo, and reminisce about old trains from the early 1980s. I also provide links to Google Maps and to source materials (7-minute read).

5 luoghi in Giappone che sembrano usciti da La Città Incantata

5 luoghi in Giappone che sembrano usciti da La Città Incantata Castelli fluttuanti, foreste incantate, l’immaginazione di Hayao Miyazaki non conosce limiti. Alcune delle ambientazioni dei suoi film sono talmente belle ed oniriche che non si crede possano esistere veramente. E invece molti background usati dal suo studio di animazione Studio Ghibli sono ispirati a luoghi reali. Qui potete trovare…
