At Takiyamamachi in Kyobashi
A newspaper company
It's a little bit of a light
6-6-7, Ginza.
On the sidewalk facing Namiki-dori St., there is Takuboku Ishikawa singing monument.
The portrait of Takuboku in a young age. There is a three-line song below it.
It is a work included in the songbook "A handful of Sands".
It is lovely that woodpecker stands behind the monument.
Because it is in front of a glittering brand shop, it may be difficult to imagine Takuboku.
This place was founded by the Tokyo Asahi Shimbun, the predecessor of the Asahi Shimbun.
Takuboku has been working at the company building here as a proofreader since March 1909.
Kyobashi Ward is an administrative district before it was integrated with Nihonbashi Ward and became Chuo-ku.
It is an accumulation area of information and a place of transmission.
In the evening, the reporters who finished the interview returned to the company building, and as the rotator echoes, the hot yelling shouts flew.
The heavy smell of ink also rises.
The windows of the company building are filled with vibrant radiance.
It is a song of work that is rare for Takuboku.
Japanese language time in the second year of junior high school. The teacher chose more than a hundred and dozens of songs from Takuboku's songbooks and presented a task to memorize.
With that as a competition, it will hold a round robin recitation competition for all classes.
I felt reluctant to the memorization system, but when I read it out several times in a loud voice, it came down with a loud noise in my chest.
Hey, sucky.
Lie down on the grass of the castle of Kozukata
Sucking in the sky
The fifteenth heart
With a paperback book in hand, I looked at the sky at the site of Morioka Castle.
It was a long time ago.
After going down the castle ruins and crossing Nakanohashi over the Nakatsu River, you will find the main building of the 90th National Bank head office, which was completed in 1910.
Taking advantage of this important cultural property building, it is now a literary museum called "Morioka Takuboku / Kenji Seishunkan".
Look around the exhibition.
It's overflowing.
The song of Takuboku with sweet and sour, bittersweet memories.
