浜離宮

５月２７日（火）快晴

ネパールがいよいよ王制を廃止します。日本も皇族より年金・健保・介護を大事にしないといけないのでは？浜離宮は将軍家の鷹狩場に1654年に作られた大名庭園。またの名は浜御殿。明治維新の皇室奪取を経て戦後は一般開放。海につながる潮入りの池は満潮と干潮とで趣が異なります。ボラ、ハゼ、ウナギも泳いでいます。汐留の高層ビル群に囲まれた興醒めな借景庭園。写真後方の1番高いビルがインター・コンチネンタル・ホテル。

Hama-rikyu
Tue. May 27 : fine

At any moment now the monarchy will be abolish in Nepal. Shouldn’t we pay more attention on the pension, the health insurance, and nursing care than that on the royal family in Japan? Hama-rikyu is a feudal lord’s garden that was built as the hawk hunting field for the tycoon in 1654. The other name is Beach Castle. The Royal family deprived it at Meiji Restoration and opened it to public after the Second World War. The landscape at its high tide differs from that of low tide because the lake joins to the sea. There are mullets, gobies, and eels swimming in the lake. It’s the turnoff borrowed landscape garden that is surrounded by skyscrapers of Shiodome. The highest building seen in the picture is Intercontinental Hotel.
