From Friday, September 25 to Monday, October 5 at the 8th floor hall of Nihonbashi Takashimaya, "Mourning Toyoko Yamasaki Exhibition-Indomitable Coverage, Life of Passion Writers-" is being held.

Speaking of Toyoko Yamazaki, "White Giant Pagoda", "Splendid Clan", "Fareless Zone", "Two Motherlands", "Children of the Earth", "Sunless Sun", etc. With the background, many topical and problem works that do not stop once you start reading will come back to your memory.

Indeed, as you can see in this subtitle, he has lived a passion writer life through indomitable coverage throughout his life.

Personally, I love "Japanese shop curtain", which modeled on the kelp shop in Osaka Senba, where I was born, "Hana noren", "Bonchi", and "Medal of Women" in Osaka.

The items on display are the contents of the interview that Mr. Yamazaki made prior to writing, the progress of elaborate novels, raw manuscripts, videos that have been turned into movies and TV dramas, and personal items that have been loved.

"A valuable diary that spells youth during the war" has also been released for the first time.

Looking at the written coverage notes, stacked cassette tapes, and photos of traveling in China, Siberia and Western Europe, I once again realized the greatness of this writer.

Admission time is from 10 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. The last day is until 5:30 p.m.
