TABATA Memorial Museum of Writers and Artists

Ryunosuke Akutagawa, Saisei Murou, and many other artists such as Tenshin Okakura as well as famous literary figures spent their time in this Tabata district. We recommend that you stop by this memorial hall to check the spots before exploring the ruins of houses and historic sites. There are only a limited number of signs that explain the traces of the earthquake and war, as well as historic sites. The facility explained very kindly according to my interests.

A memorial hall across the street from the north exit of Tabata Station. I've known its existence for a long time, but this is my first visit. Although it is only on one floor, literary enthusiasts can browse valuable materials for free to the point of tears. A lot of young women were coming. I didn't know until this age that Ryunosuke Akutagawa was such a handsome guy! I didn't know that Saisei Murou had a great upbringing! I was surprised to hear the voice of the person himself. You can see it in a short time, so you should definitely see it once. Relationship between Ryunosuke Akutagawa and Saisei Murou. The fact that young writers gathered in love with them. Tabata Bunshimura, which ended with the death of Akutagawa. Interesting historical facts emerge, such as the background and the establishment of the Akutagawa Prize and Naoki Prize. And that was when they were in their twenties. Aoharu exhibition is being held now. (2020.10)

A memorial hall established in 1993 with the aim of passing on the history of "Tabata Bunshi Artist Village" to future generations. Tabata was destroyed by the great air raid in 1945, and since there are no remnants of the old days, the works, manuscripts, and letters of literary artists and artists, as well as their achievements and lifestyles are introduced through events such as walking sessions and lectures. I'm doing it. It seems that a tie-up event for the Tabata Bunshimura Memorial Museum, Bungo to Alchemist, and the game was being held. Photography is prohibited inside the building, so you can only take pictures here. There was a special exhibition that introduced the days of making magazines that were the youth of Tabata Bunshi and others, but it was difficult to enter, so I glanced at it and took a look at the Tabata walking map with one hand. I decided to walk around the city. Tabata was a quiet rural village with thickets and fields until the middle of the Meiji era, but with the opening of the Tokyo Academy of Fine Arts in Ueno, young artists gradually began to live in it. When Kosugi Misai stayed in 1883, Itaya Hazan built a kiln in Tabata, and Saburo Yoshida, Hidema Katori, Kanae Yamamoto and others moved from the edge, and painters, potters, sculptors, casters, singers, printmakers, etc. A social gathering place called Poplar Club centered on artists was born. Tabata in the Meiji era became an artist village. In the Taisho era, Ryunosuke Akutagawa and Saisei Murou moved, and Sakutaro Hagiwara, Kan Kikuchi, Tatsuo Hori, Ineko Sata and others began to gather in Tabata, and Tabata became a literary village from the Taisho era to the early Showa era. It also has one side. Many of the episodes they left in Tabata are in their 20s and 30s, who worked hard while stimulating each other to get out into the world. Indeed, it is the youth town of literary figures.

It's a great place for reading lovers because you can learn about the life of Ryunosuke Akutagawa and Muro Saisei. We recommend taking a walk around the area.

Close to Tabata station. The exhibition was substantial instead of free.
