On the wall of a coffee shop, there are two communist party election bills, two international cult's politic department, one Japanese democrat party and one new cult party.
The coffee is good and the dish of pasta lunch is good, but the price is a little expensive.

Swellfish chat in the show window tank of a restaurant.

Fugu 1: “In the Edo era, the area around this tank was under the sea water, they say.”
Fugu 2: “In the near future, the area around this tank would be under the sea water because of the Global Warming, they say. ”
Fugu 3: “Is the near future tomorrow? After fifty years? ”

ガラス箱入り boîte de verre

The shrine in a glass house is very strange view for me. Would the glass wall stop the power of the deity?
This place was one of the beaches of Edo and at those time, they held a big fish market.
On　１７０３　the Richter scale 8.1 earthquake near the cape Nojima of Chiba caused a 1-3 meters tunami to the water fronts of Edo. (In the Rikugi park of Bunkyo ward, all of the pine trees died owing to the salt water) It's recorded as the Genroku big earthquake and tunami.
(This earthquake rose the land between the Nojima island and Honshu island to bridge them. Now, it is the Cape Nojima.)
Almost of the old shrines in this area are built on the higher place from the sea level. This one is almost the same as the sea level. I think this one was built at least the fifty years after the Genroku tunami.
