A Place to Encounter a Great Literary Figure

The manuscripts and personal effects of Kikuchi Kan, a local literary legend, are on display here. Images that show his interactions with other literary giants of his time and a reconstruction of his writing room are on display, allowing visitors to get a sense of the magnitude of his literary achievements.
Kikuchi Kan's books, and books that have received one of the two literary prizes founded by Kikuchi, the Akutagawa and Naoki, are available to read in the reading corner.
