Reset

During the hectic busy season, my 1972 Brain was on the verge of over-revving...
However, since he plays an important part as a patterner,
I can't afford to let it break.
I try to reset myself and take on the next job.
Work on holidays, prepare for work at the beginning of the week,
Before the sun went down, I visited Sensoji Temple.
Approximately 500M southeast from KADOYA headquarters
The place has the atmosphere of "Asakusa" since ancient times,
Although it is a tourist destination, there is a city that gives you an "Edo" feel.
And this is my power spot.

Name embroidery sewn into the tag of custom-made products,
When I was in my 20s, I passed by this Sensoji temple on my bicycle.
To the Azumaya name embroidery shop, which has now closed down.
It brings back memories of going there.
It makes me feel like that time just happened,
This place continues to exist.

Sensoji is one of the most crowded temples in Tokyo, along with Meiji Shrine, for New Year's visits.
The door of the main hall has a rich historical feel.

Dedicated by the Hosankai of Murayama City, Yamagata Prefecture
“Owaraji” was created by a total of 800 people over a period of about a month.
Representing the power of Nio-sama,
"Is someone wearing such big straw sandals protecting this temple?"
It is said that the demon will leave...

Nakamise Dori shopping street stretches south from the main hall.
During holidays, it is crowded with many tourists.


Showa-era signboards are still in use to match the atmosphere of the town.

The majesty of Asakusa Kaminarimon, the face of Asakusa
I am overwhelmed every time I see it.


Then, when night falls and the shopping streets close their shops,
Another Nakamise Street drawn by art university students will appear.







A mural of Asakusa drawn by students on the shutters colors the otherwise deserted store at night.
Customers visiting KADOYA main store,
If you come to Asakusa, please come
Why not stop by this place?
Well, the new year has started successfully.
I feel refreshed and ready for battle starting tomorrow.
