Bungo Soseki Natsume (1867-1916) appeared at the Ginza Asahi Building rebuilding site in Ginza 6-chome. On both sides of the temporary enclosure at the site, Namiki-dori St. side and Sony Street side, portraits of Soseki and illustrations of novels "Sanshiro" and "King Dark" (Natori Shunsen painting) are drawn.
This is the place where the former Takiyama-cho, Tokyo Asahi Shimbun, where Soseki joined, was located (currently Ginza 6-6-7). Near the Namiki-dori St. Road, there is a song monument of Takuboku Ishikawa (1886-1912), the company's proofreader. People who usually look at this and pass by 
seem to be now caught by Soseki opposite.
Soseki resigned in 1907 (1907) as a teaching profession at Teidai and Ichiko and joined Tokyo Asahi Shimbun. I was surprised by the difference in social reputation at that time, but I dared to say, "If a newspaper shop is a business, a university shop is also a business," and "I don't feel like I'm alive without writing something." I'm going on the path of literary creation. Starting with "Ago Bijingusa", it will be sent to the world as a serial novel in the Asahi Shimbun up to "Sanshiro", "Kokoro" ... and unfinished "Akiko". In addition, he presided over the literary column and promoted up-and-coming writers, giving a place to present. I didn't have a duty to go to work, but when I came to the editorial meeting on Wednesday, the number of words was small, but it seemed that it was a lively meeting with unexpected words with a simple face.
I, Yotaro, wrote this blog twice about the relationship between Soseki and Chuo-ku in the past, but at that time, I remember him in this important place that is most closely related to Soseki in the city. I was sorry that there was nothing. Two years later, after the construction is completed, this enclosure will be gone. At that time, I hope that a new and permanent monument will be created. Next year 2016 will be 100 years after Soseki's death, and next year 2017 will be 150 years of birth, a major milestone is approaching.

"The fish of the time when it became a newspaper light in Takiyama-cho in Kyobashi"
Soseki's serialization of "From then" and "Mon" overlaps when Takuboku was in office. Takuboku would have been in charge of proofreading.
