六本木から渋谷までぐねぐねと歩く（その１） / A Walk from Roppongi To Shibuya (Part 1)

気がつけば、２カ月近く、カメラを持って昼間の散歩をしていない。日にちが経つのは早い。ほんと、早い。

そんなわけで、六本木から渋谷まで回り道しながら歩いたのは６月初旬のこと。まあ、今の時期だと暑すぎて途中で音を上げてしまうかもしれないね。

いつも歩いている道をあえて外し、外し。地図とにらめっこしながらの散歩、スタートです。

I just realized that I haven't taken a walk with a camera during the daytime for almost two months. Time flies. It flies amazingly fast.

So I took this photo walk at the beginning of June. But I would fall flat from the heat if I took a walk in the middle of the summer, so I'm waiting for the fall season.

I tried to take the ways that I had never taken before. I referred to the Google Maps from time to time, enjoying the new scenes I encountered on the way.

この日は六本木のIMA Concept Storeで荒木経惟さんのコンタクトシート写真展を見た。ここがスタート。
The walk started at IMA Concept Store in Roppongi, where I enjoyed the photo exhibition of Nobuyoshi Araki, one of the most famous photographers in Japan.

鳩がいると撮る。自分の誕生日の数字の22に行かないかと思ったけれど、23止まり。残念。
I like to point my camera to pigeons. I hoped they would get in the box of number 22, which is my birth date, but they only reached 23. What a pity.

いつもは歩かない裏道に入ってみると、さすが港区、坂だらけ。
There are lots of slopes in Minato-ku area. Everyone of them seems to have its original name.

全編黄色の上り坂。白いラインがアクセント。あ、マンホールもね。
I loved this yellow slope with a white line accept. Oh, that manhole has added the final touch.

金網に、幽霊が出入りする穴を発見した。
I found the hole in the fence surrounding the graveyard. I'm sure ghosts come in and out of their places through this hole.

壁のグラフィティ・アート。「こころがまえ」とは？　問われてしばし姿勢を正した。
Graffiti asked me of my attitude (kokorogamae). I straighten up my back and thought about it.

良いガラスがあった。
There was a good glass offering such nice reflections.

偽ブドウ。本物より色がいい。
Fake grapes looked better than the real ones

「痛えよ、踏むなよ」というせりふが浮かんだ。
"It hurts. Don't step on me."

銃弾の跡を発見。さすが港区六本木。
I found bullet holes on the wall. What a scary town! I'm kidding.

丸すぎるのにかろうじてブタに見えるのは、あの色のおかげか。
The only reason that they looked like pigs was that pink color.

「俺は天ぷら」と主張されたら、なんだろ、「私は天つゆよ」とか返さなきゃダメ？
"I'm tempura," the sign talked to me. Do I have to reply, "I'm dipping sauce"?

素敵なペイント。
Nice painting.

銀座よりちょっと広い隙間を発見。やや整然として美しすぎる。
I found the familiar structure. I often see this kind in Ginza :)

せっかくなので国立新美術館に立ち寄る。久しぶり。
I arrived at the National Art Center, Tokyo. Long time no see!

新美術館は自撮りのメッカ……かもしれない。
This museum was perfect for selfies. Maybe.

結局六本木を出ずにパート1終了。続く。

I'll get out of Roppongi in the next update.
