03/29, Arts Culture Tourism from Tokyo (Omicho Market, Kanazawa, Ishikawa)

Lithographs of Indian elephant during in 1923 Great Kanto Earthquake have been found in the vaults of Hanayashiki, Japan’s oldest amusement park in Asakusa. Japan's Cultural Affairs Agency moved from Tokyo to Kyoto as the country's first quantum computer began working at the Riken Research Institute in Saitama. And in Toyama, the Meteorological Agency announced that its Somei-yoshino cherry trees were in full bloom, the earliest since records began in 1953. Omicho Market has been a stable part of Kanazawa’s food culture for more than 300 years, with it referred to locally as “Kanazawa’s Kitchen." Notebook captures it winding down at the end of a busy day.
