00:00The town where the old men gather, the village of Arii.
00:14It is the paradise of the Showa era.
00:20Akihara Zenryo Iruura Retro Tango
00:36That girl is a cute little girl.
00:41She hangs her hand on her waist.
00:46What? Again? Again?
00:49I'm sick of it. I'm sick of it.
00:52I'm sick of the old buildings. I'm sick of it.
00:55Kankan!
00:57She is the Kankan girl of Ginza.
01:02She is the Kankan girl of Ginza.
01:08She is the Gin...
01:11Are you ready?
01:12Yes.
01:13Let's go.
01:14You sang today, too.
01:17It's rare to sing a Japanese song like this, isn't it?
01:20Oh, a foreigner took a picture of me.
01:23That girl is a cute little girl.
01:26This time, it's Tokyo Ginza.
01:31It's a shopping street in the city of Kusshi,
01:34where new department stores and high-end brands are lined up.
01:39However, there are only foreigners in Ginza.
01:46Let's go through the main street of Ginza and aim for the building.
01:54There are quite a lot of high-end stores.
01:57It's been decades.
02:00Before, there were no stores lined up like this.
02:06There used to be a department store here.
02:12There used to be a new clothes store and a cabaret.
02:19There was also a Shirobara.
02:22It's behind this building.
02:25It's like going back to the Showa era.
02:29I've never been in there.
02:31At that time, you couldn't go in there.
02:36Ginza is full of longing for that era.
02:41The building we're looking for is just around the corner.
02:44It's on the second street, facing the main street.
02:51Mr. Zei, this is the building we're looking for.
02:54Is this it?
02:55Yes.
02:56Wow.
02:57I didn't know there was a building like this.
02:59What kind of building is this?
03:00It's Okuno Building.
03:02Okuno Building.
03:03Wow.
03:08There are a lot of buildings next to each other.
03:11That's right.
03:12There are a lot of buildings like this.
03:14There are a lot of buildings like this.
03:19That's right.
03:21Okuno Building was built in the 7th year of Showa, 92 years ago, in Ginza.
03:30There are about 60 stores in the 7th floor building.
03:36By the way, Marunouchi Ondo, the original Tokyo Ondo, was built when the building was built.
03:45This building is amazing.
03:47Yes.
03:48Wow.
03:50This is the coolest building I've ever seen.
03:52If you say it's the coolest building, other buildings will think so, too.
03:58There are people taking pictures.
04:00Of course.
04:01Let's talk to them.
04:03Shall we take a picture?
04:04Do you come here often?
04:05No, this is my first time.
04:06Why?
04:07I heard that there is a photo exhibition on the 6th floor.
04:11Who is it?
04:12Yes.
04:13Do you know him?
04:14Yes, I know him.
04:16I heard that this building is amazing.
04:19That's right.
04:20Is he from Tokyo?
04:23I'm from Kansai.
04:25What about your friends?
04:27I'm from Tokyo, too.
04:28It's been a long time since I've seen you.
04:29Yes.
04:30Have fun.
04:31Thank you very much.
04:33Take your time.
04:34Yes.
04:35This is Okuno Building.
04:37That's right.
04:39Isn't this a famous brick?
04:44As expected, he is a builder.
04:47This is a scratch tile that was popular in the early Showa period.
04:51It was also used in the old Imperial Hotel Light.
04:58The design of the fine grooves that are scratched with a skewer is characteristic.
05:02It's an exterior wall that feels heavy.
05:06Can I go inside?
05:07Yes.
05:12Air conditioner.
05:14The air conditioner is working.
05:17Wow, it's amazing.
05:20There are many things.
05:24This is fashionable.
05:26It may be the most fashionable guide board I've ever seen.
05:31In the buildings I've been to.
05:33It's an interesting place.
05:35There are ateliers, galleries, and art galleries.
05:43That's right.
05:44About 20 of the 1 third of the buildings are galleries and art galleries.
05:56There is no bar.
05:58No?
05:59No.
06:00Why?
06:01I thought for a moment that the letter I was looking for was the letter I in izakaya.
06:09I wonder what kind of shop this is.
06:11Shall we go in?
06:12Yes.
06:14Is there an elevator?
06:20It's amazing.
06:22This elevator is manual.
06:27Let's try it.
06:28This is modern style.
06:30What is this?
06:31Do I have to open it myself?
06:40It's hard to see this in America and New York.
06:45In the old days, elevators in small theaters were like this.
06:48I have to do this myself.
06:50It's quite heavy.
06:51It's heavy.
06:54Don't put your fingers in it.
06:57Everything inside is new.
07:03Like the motor inside the machine.
07:07Does everyone get on this?
07:11It's beeping, but isn't it broken?
07:14It's okay.
07:15You can close it.
07:16I have to close it.
07:18I'm scared.
07:24Let's go.
07:26I'm scared.
07:37In the old days, I longed for this kind of thing.
07:40I watched old movies.
07:42The people who come here are the people who use it.
07:50It's great to be determined to leave it.
07:56This elevator was installed when the building was built.
08:01The motor and the basket are new, but the manual double door and the number display are the same as they were at that time.
08:12This number display has a different design depending on the floor.
08:17It's very high-class.
08:21Let's go back to the first floor and take a walk.
08:27It's amazing.
08:40Let's go.
08:43There are seven shops on the first floor, including galleries and antique shops.
08:53Hello.
08:55Is this an accessory shop?
08:57This is a gallery.
08:58A gallery?
08:59Yes.
09:00Do you display these accessories now?
09:02Yes, this is an exhibition.
09:06I usually display paintings.
09:08Are you an exhibitionist?
09:10This is a gallery.
09:11A gallery?
09:12Yes, the artist is here.
09:13I see.
09:16Is this a picture of a shining flower?
09:19This is the face of the gallery.
09:21Oh, really?
09:22This is the picture.
09:23I like your eyes.
09:29This is Gallery G2, a gallery that displays various works.
09:35Some galleries display paintings, but this time, they displayed costume jewelry made of non-metal materials.
09:46Is this a gallery?
09:48Yes.
09:49Has it been here for a long time?
09:51It's been here for a long time.
09:52I asked you if it's been here for a long time, but you said yes.
09:56It's been 10 years since I came to Okubo Building.
09:58So it's been here for a long time.
09:59Yes.
10:00So you've been in the gallery business before that?
10:03I was in the second floor, and I've been here for 10 years.
10:06How is it compared to the first floor?
10:08It's very comfortable.
10:10Is that so?
10:11There are a lot of customers, and there are a lot of foreigners these days.
10:15Why is that? Is it Instagram?
10:18The building is famous.
10:20Is that so?
10:22When the New York Times specialized in tourist spots in Tokyo,
10:27it was reported that the building in the back was a building that gathers artists and releases art.
10:32Since then, there have been more and more foreign visitors.
10:37That's amazing. The flowers and everything is made of beads.
10:41Yes, it's really beads.
10:44Isn't this especially amazing?
10:46These are cherry blossoms.
10:48A lot of customers come here.
10:50But still, it's 90,000 yen.
10:53The price is a bit...
10:5590,000 yen. That's a lot of money.
10:58Are these orders from the customers?
11:01Yes, these are orders.
11:03I feel like I'm being polite.
11:07It's strange that you come here.
11:09I only do that when I'm here.
11:12I don't know what it's like when I go home.
11:14But when you come here, you become polite.
11:16That's right.
11:17I don't know when I started being polite.
11:22It's strange, but I think I should leave now.
11:26He is also very elegant.
11:323, 2, 1.
11:37Thanks to you, I became polite.
11:42Please come in.
11:46This is Okuno Shokai, a company that manages glassware.
11:55In the old days, the classroom was like this.
12:01I see.
12:05I'm sorry.
12:06I'm talking to you on BS Fuji's program.
12:10Are you Okuno from Okuno Shokai?
12:12Yes, I'm Okuno.
12:13I'm sorry to bother you.
12:16Are you the owner of this building?
12:21Yes, I am.
12:22How old is this building?
12:24It's the fourth generation.
12:27My grandfather came from a famous island town in Meiji.
12:35In the second half of the Meiji era, a factory was built here.
12:42Your grandfather?
12:43Yes.
12:55This is Ginza, which was filmed more than 100 years ago.
13:00Ginza, which was influenced by Western culture as it was called Taisho Roman, had a modern atmosphere.
13:12In Ginza, Okuno's grandfather, Jisuke, worked at a parts factory.
13:19But one day, his daily life changed.
13:24The Great Kanto Earthquake in September of the 12th year of Taisho.
13:34Ginza, which was full of brick-making, was destroyed.
13:39Okuno's grandfather's factory was also destroyed.
13:45However, Okuno Shokai planned to build an apartment on the site of the factory to make up for the lack of housing.
14:00In the 7th year of the Showa, nine years after the quake, the first brick-making building was built in Ginza.
14:10The name of the building was Ginza Apartment.
14:15At first, it was an apartment complex.
14:21Later, the building was renamed Okuno Building.
14:25In the middle of the Showa era, the building became an office.
14:28In the Heisei era, the building became a gallery.
14:34The building, which was built with the lessons of the Great Kanto Earthquake,
14:39is still standing in its original state even after 92 years.
14:49Why did you move to the shop where you rented an apartment?
14:58As a result, I had to live in a one-room apartment.
15:02I had to live in a six-story building.
15:06I had to use the bathroom and the bathroom separately.
15:10The bathroom was in the basement of the building.
15:16I couldn't live in the middle of the Showa era.
15:20That's interesting.
15:22That was the trend.
15:24I survived because of the needs at that time.
15:28Is your current rent a good amount?
15:35I think it's normal.
15:39I can't ask you more than that.
15:43Thank you for your story.
15:54The Story of a House in Ginza
16:03Mr. Zen is wandering around the buildings in Ginza.
16:09Go to the second floor.
16:13This is a time slip.
16:15Look at this.
16:17This is a time slip.
16:19Look at this.
16:21When I was in elementary school, I used to use this kind of stairs.
16:31This is the same building, isn't it?
16:35Yes.
16:36There are stairs here, too.
16:38What does that mean?
16:40Why are there stairs next to the stairs?
16:44That's the new building.
16:47The new building?
16:48This is the main building.
16:50Mr. Zen, that's too close.
16:53But it's a strange building.
16:58In fact, the building in the back was built in the 7th year of the Showa era.
17:02Because of the construction funds,
17:04only the main building on the left was built.
17:10Two years later, in the 9th year of the Showa era,
17:13the new building was built.
17:16The two buildings are connected inside,
17:19so you can take a breather.
17:22Both have stairs,
17:24so you can look down from the window.
17:29But it doesn't look like the new building or the old building.
17:36That's right.
17:37Let's go up the stairs.
17:39This is the old building.
17:41Can we go this way?
17:46Let's go.
17:47Wow, there are stairs all the way to the back.
17:51It's the same atmosphere.
17:55They're still using this.
17:59That's right.
18:00It's amazing.
18:05This is a proper hose.
18:09But it's amazing.
18:11But it's amazing.
18:12Even these stairs are a little...
18:15It's like a fashion magazine.
18:18It's a little...
18:22It's like a fashion magazine.
18:25Like this.
18:26I see.
18:29Like this.
18:30It's a good picture, isn't it?
18:31It's a good picture.
18:32Even for me.
18:36It's interesting.
18:38But really...
18:40Huh?
18:43I couldn't read it earlier.
18:46It's not open right now.
18:48I don't know what shop it is.
18:50I don't know how to read it anymore.
18:52That's right.
18:53Zen-san, it's called Kyuzan-kyo Ginza.
19:01There are nine tenants, including a gallery on the third floor.
19:10Huh?
19:12It's amazing.
19:16It says something.
19:17The Ginza building.
19:183055 Project.
19:20It's a little small.
19:23It says Suda Beauty.
19:26Wow, it's amazing.
19:27It's the same as it was.
19:29Is that what a project is?
19:32It's the same as it was.
19:34The tenants of this building.
19:38Let's leave it.
19:40Is that what it is?
19:42Let's go in.
19:43It was really amazing at the time.
19:47Oh, there's someone here.
19:49This building looks good on you again.
19:53Excuse me.
19:58Oh, this is...
20:00It was a meeting room.
20:02Are you from the Okuno Building Project?
20:05Yes, that's right.
20:06Actually, this person is from the Okuno Building Project.
20:09Originally, it was a gathering house called Ginza Apartment.
20:13He was the last resident.
20:16Did he die here?
20:18That's right.
20:20He was the last resident.
20:23After he died, this room was open.
20:27A lot of talented people came together.
20:30It's a historic building.
20:32We wanted to leave it as it is and do something interesting.
20:36That's how the project started.
20:39Five years after the building was built, around the 12th century,
20:42Suda Yoshiko opened the Suda Beauty Room here in Room 306.
20:50The beauty room was closed in the 1960s,
20:54but Mr. Suda used it as his residence.
21:01In 1927, Mr. Suda was exiled right after his 100th birthday,
21:07but a group of people who wanted to leave this place as it was
21:11started the project and managed it.
21:17Mr. Suda used to live here at the time, right?
21:23Is the color the same?
21:25I think it's the same as it was at the time.
21:28I think fluorescent lamps are rare, too.
21:33It's a little thick now.
21:35This is Matsuda.
21:37What is Matsuda?
21:39Matsuda Electric.
21:42What is this?
21:44I'm sorry.
21:46It's rare to see something like this as a landmark.
21:49It used to be like this.
21:51I don't want you to hit the switch with this.
21:56So this is where he lived.
21:59It's so low.
22:02He used to buy things with this.
22:05It's the same height as the mirror.
22:10There must have been a lot of fashionable customers.
22:15Wow!
22:17There are a lot of photos.
22:19Have you ever talked to Mr. Suda?
22:22No, but when I talked to him, he was a very fashionable person.
22:29I really like beer.
22:31It's the same as me.
22:49It's the same as me.
22:51It's the same as me.
22:53It's the same as me.
22:55It's the same as me.
22:57It's the same as me.
22:59It's the same as me.
23:01It's the same as me.
23:03It's the same as me.
23:05It's the same as me.
23:07It's the same as me.
23:09It's the same as me.
23:11It's the same as me.
23:13It's the same as me.
23:15It's the same as me.
23:17It's the same as me.
23:19It's the same as me.
23:21It's the same as me.
23:23It's the same as me.
23:25It's the same as me.
23:27It's the same as me.
23:29It's the same as me.
23:31It's the same as me.
23:33It's the same as me.
23:35It's the same as me.
23:37It's the same as me.
23:39It's the same as me.
23:41It's the same as me.
23:43It's the same as me.
23:45It's the same as me.
23:47It's the same as me.
23:49It's the same as me.
23:51It's the same as me.
23:53It's the same as me.
23:55It's the same as me.
23:57It's the same as me.
23:59It's the same as me.
24:01It's the same as me.
24:03It's the same as me.
24:05It's the same as me.
24:07It's the same as me.
24:09It's the same as me.
24:11It's the same as me.
24:13It's the same as me.
24:15It's the same as me.
24:17It's the same as me.
24:19It's the same as me.
24:21It's the same as me.
24:23It's the same as me.
24:25It's the same as me.
24:27It's the same as me.
24:29It's the same as me.
24:31It's the same as me.
24:33It's the same as me.
24:35It's the same as me.
24:37It's the same as me.
24:39It's the same as me.
24:41We are not sure if we'll be able to have the same respondents this time as in the beginning.
24:45But we will give our everything to health and well-being of the place.
24:50Even though the attitude of the facility is the same as us,
24:56It seems that this place never forgets to offer the service to its people.
25:02Though there are a lot of crowded places in the čako area
25:06This is where you used to look out over the river?
25:25That's right.
25:26What were you looking out over?
25:27The river.
25:28The river?
25:29Yes.
25:30The river that used to flow.
25:31Oh, really?
25:32Yes.
25:33What a waste.
25:34I heard that the river wind came in and it was nice in the summer.
25:40Return the river!
25:44That's true.
25:48Thank you for your time.
25:51Thank you for your story.
25:53It was good.
25:56The concrete is not broken at all.
26:00Yes.
26:01It's sturdy.
26:06But it's pretty wide when you go through it like this.
26:11Yes.
26:15On the 4th floor, there are 10 shops, including a gallery, a suit shop, and a chocolate shop.
26:21The store is full.
26:30Hello.
26:31I'm wandering around in this building today on a program called Build Bura at BSUji.
26:38Is this a full-year shop?
26:40Yes, it's a full-year shop.
26:42Oh, that's amazing.
26:43Yes.
26:44New.
26:45Yes.
26:46New things, too?
26:47Mainly vintage and limited goods and used goods.
26:54Full-year history?
26:56I came here in 2000.
26:59It's been 24 years.
27:01Before that, I was in Ikebukuro.
27:05I used to work mainly on antiques, watches, and planks.
27:15I moved to this building, and now I'm doing this.
27:21But isn't this the only one in Japan?
27:25There aren't many shops like this.
27:28There aren't many shops like this in the world.
27:30I'm only doing vintage.
27:34That's right.
27:35This Eurobox is mainly dealing with vintage stationery from the 1970s to the 1970s, which is rare in the world.
27:47Mr. Fujii, a 75-year-old shop owner, is obsessed with the charm of vintage stationery.
27:55He goes abroad a few times a year to buy them.
28:00Now, there are 700 full-year shops in the store.
28:05Even if it's a full-year shop, it's hard for me to do it in earnest.
28:12I used to have a thick Montblanc.
28:16But I started to like pelicans.
28:19I've changed the thickness of this type.
28:25Is that so?
28:26Is there anything unusual?
28:29There are some customers who ask me if there is anything unusual.
28:34There's a rare series.
28:36I've taken a picture of it.
28:37Would you like to see it?
28:38Yes.
28:40What is this?
28:44This is the largest pen that American Parker made.
28:50It was made in 1905.
28:53I think it was made as a counterfeit.
29:02I'll take this off, too.
29:10This is where you put the ink.
29:14In that?
29:15Yes.
29:16This is where you write.
29:18The interesting thing about this pen is this.
29:24There's a secret hidden here.
29:29What is it?
29:30This is a pen.
29:31What?
29:32It's a mechanical pencil again.
29:34It's a different size.
29:37Wow.
29:39This is an old type of pen.
29:43This is where you put the ink.
29:48This is a gold pen.
29:51Is that so?
29:52There are only five of these in the world.
29:55Is this for sale?
29:58It's for sale at the end.
30:00It's a reference.
30:01How much is it?
30:04There are five of them.
30:06One sold for 2.5 million yen.
30:09Wow.
30:123 million yen is not a dream.
30:17We have a visitor.
30:19A visitor?
30:20I'm sorry to bother you.
30:22Welcome.
30:23I'm sorry to bother you.
30:25It's okay.
30:28Please come in.
30:30Excuse me.
30:31I'm sorry.
30:33Do you have anything for sale?
30:35I have one pen for repair.
30:40It's been completed, so I'm going to put it away today.
30:46Mr. Fujii is not only selling pens, but also repairing fountain pens.
30:52He learned how to repair fountain pens by himself,
30:55and has received requests from all over the country.
31:05Thank you for taking care of this.
31:08The ink leaked a little.
31:11The rubber plug inside was off.
31:16That's right.
31:17It was a little damaged, but we replaced it with a new one.
31:22Which brand is this?
31:24This is a 100-year-old fountain pen.
31:29Is that so?
31:30Did you buy it here?
31:33Yes.
31:36This is a very good pen.
31:37Can you repair it now?
31:39I can't.
31:40It's a 100-year-old fountain pen.
31:42What do you do for a living?
31:45My hometown is a little far away from here.
31:50My parents are getting old, so I write letters to them.
31:55I also write a thank-you letter to my customers.
31:59You want to write with the pen you like.
32:02I bought them all at Mr. Fujii's Eurobox.
32:05I think there are more than 30 of them.
32:09Have you been there?
32:10Yes.
32:11Be careful, everyone.
32:14This is my favorite pen.
32:17I see.
32:21It's a little big, so it's easy to write.
32:27It's amazing.
32:29It's good.
32:30It was flowing too much.
32:32It's good.
32:33It flows smoothly.
32:35It's good to have a beautiful handwriting.
32:38The fountain pen made my handwriting beautiful.
32:40No, no, no.
32:41I'm serious.
32:42Thank you very much.
32:44I don't like it, so I'll come again.
32:47Please come again.
32:49I'm looking forward to it.
32:53This time, we visited the back of Ginza, which was built in the 7th century.
33:19This is the back of Ginza, which was built in the 7th century.
33:25This is the back of Ginza, which was built in the 7th century.
33:31This is the back of Ginza, which was built in the 7th century.
33:37Men's wear.
33:38MTM vintage.
33:40What brand is it?
33:42Salone Lunger.
33:50Excuse me.
33:51Hello.
33:52I've seen you on BS Fuji's show.
33:55Is this a new clothing store?
33:58That's right.
33:59It's a new clothing store and a vintage store.
34:02It's a new clothing store, so it's an order-made store.
34:05That's right.
34:06It's amazing.
34:08Thank you very much.
34:09It's a three-piece store.
34:13It's a three-piece store.
34:15It's a 1930s style.
34:20It's a new clothing store that mainly deals with British vintage suits in the 1930s, just like the birth year of the building in the back.
34:30They sell British antiques, fabrics, and military uniforms.
34:36It's a stylish store.
34:41I'll measure it.
34:43Mr. Onishi, the owner, has been involved in the new clothing industry for nearly 40 years.
34:48He is a specialist in British style.
34:52The collar is very big.
34:54It's big.
34:55It's big, isn't it?
34:56Yes, it is.
34:57So, the theme here is to make Japanese things that the UK admires.
35:02What kind of suits are the standard?
35:05Yes.
35:09This is a little thinner.
35:12This is a 1920s style.
35:18It's a style that can be used for business.
35:22The back is very vivid.
35:24That's right.
35:26It reminds me of my school uniform when I was in junior high school.
35:32I think I was in the same year as Mr. Kajihara.
35:37It's a bit of a mess.
35:40That was when we were the most popular, wasn't it?
35:43Yes, it was.
35:45It's about the same age as me.
35:47That's about right.
35:49There was a tiger and a dragon.
35:51I don't know why we had to carry a tiger and a dragon at that time.
35:56So, what about this place?
35:59I wanted to make a 1930s-style suit in a 1930s building.
36:07How old were you when you made this suit?
36:11I was 55 years old.
36:12Isn't that recent?
36:13Yes, it is.
36:14It was during the pandemic.
36:16Oh, really?
36:18There were a lot of things.
38:00Do you have a wife?
38:04That's the only thing you can do.
38:07If you do it yourself, you can have a wife.
38:09I think I have a good wife.
38:29I think I was able to bring out my father's style.
38:53What did your father say when he made this suit?
38:56He didn't say anything.
38:59He didn't praise me.
39:02Maybe he didn't know.
39:05When you watch a movie, you may think,
39:08Oh, my father's suit was good.
39:13I hope so.
39:19Good luck with your store.
39:21Thank you very much.
39:26Okay.
39:32Chocolate shop.
39:35So Ponte?
39:37Chocolate that brings happiness.
39:40Confetti.
39:42It's a direct import from Italy.
39:50Excuse me.
39:52Again.
39:56You look like a designer.
39:58No, I'm not.
40:00You look like a pop mother.
40:02Excuse me.
40:03You were on a program called Bill Blah.
40:06It says chocolate.
40:09Isn't that a flower?
40:10That's right.
40:11But I can eat it all.
40:14You can eat this mini part, right?
40:17I can eat it all.
40:18I can't eat the stem.
40:20Right?
40:23I'm glad.
40:26Ginza Bouquet, which imports and sells chocolate confetti,
40:30which is called a sweet that brings happiness in Italy.
40:36In Italy, this confetti is indispensable for weddings, births, and celebrations.
40:46This has hazelnuts in it.
40:49I wrap the outside with dark chocolate.
40:51That's nice.
40:52I wrap the outside with sugar and wrap it with cellophane.
41:00Hazelnuts.
41:02Not macadamia nuts.
41:05Hazelnuts.
41:07What was it?
41:08That's why I can't eat it.
41:11I didn't mean to.
41:12No, no.
41:14Do you know what it tastes like if you don't eat it?
41:16Really?
41:18I'll harvest it.
41:20I see.
41:22You have a business complaint.
41:24No, no.
41:26It's not me.
41:28My aunt told me to harvest it.
41:31Your aunt told you to harvest it.
41:32Yes, she told me.
41:34This is a real one.
41:35That's right.
41:36I see.
41:38This is cellophane.
41:40I see.
41:41Try it.
41:43It looks like grapes.
41:46It's white.
41:48This is harvested, isn't it?
41:50That's right.
41:51I'll eat it.
41:57It's delicious dark chocolate, isn't it?
41:59That's right.
42:02It's very chewy.
42:05I think it's worth eating.
42:09Mr. Terabayashi loves the Italian streets and often goes on trips.
42:16At that time, he met this confetti.
42:19He said he started a shop to bring happiness to Japan.
42:26Has this been a chocolate shop for a long time?
42:29No, it hasn't.
42:31It's been a little over two years since I started.
42:34Oh, really?
42:35Yes.
42:36Has the chocolate history been that long?
42:38No, it hasn't.
42:39It used to be a design office.
42:41Here?
42:42It was an architect's design office.
42:44Please don't peek.
42:47I found it.
42:49There's a picture of the design office.
42:53Did you do it alone?
42:55Yes, I did it alone.
42:57I've been running this design office for over 30 years.
43:00Did you design houses?
43:02That's right.
43:03I also designed apartments.
43:04What kind of work did you do?
43:06I had to answer requests from small and medium-sized companies.
43:12I did a lot of things.
43:14Mr. Terabayashi opened a design office in a building in the back more than 30 years ago.
43:23At that time, he used to stay overnight in this building and draw drawings until the morning.
43:32At that time, there weren't many galleries here.
43:39Some people used this building as a warehouse.
43:43Some people lived here.
43:45It was a time like that.
43:47I think it was because of the Showa era.
43:52I think so, too.
43:53Nowadays, many people come to this gallery.
43:59Even if you go out for a while, you have to lock the door.
44:04At that time, I couldn't even lock the door.
44:09When it was time for tea, I said,
44:12I got ice cream.
44:14That's nice.
44:15I said, I got ice cream.
44:16People talked to me and gave me coffee.
44:18I see.
44:19You went to borrow soy sauce from a neighbor.
44:21That's right.
44:23There were a lot of ice cream, so I said,
44:25Let's call that person, too.
44:27I called everyone.
44:29That's what we talked about.
44:32It's Nagaya.
44:34I've been through that kind of time.
44:37It's hard to get away from here.
44:41That's right.
44:43I'm envious just by listening to it.
44:45Is that so?
44:46Yes.
44:47Thank you very much.
44:48Thank you for the fun story.
44:50Thank you for the fun story and the chocolate.
44:53Next time, we will visit the Tobu Asakusa station building at the foot of Sensoji.
44:58Is this the top of the building?
45:01I loved it.
45:02My father's desire to fill the hole was great.
45:07Zen-san was also surprised by the 7.2 billion yen renovation plan.
45:12It's amazing.
45:13I came here all of a sudden.
45:14It's a great view.
45:17Zen-san is very excited about the family-made diorama at the railway model shop.
