At the entrance of the temple, there is a monument of "Ishikawa Takuboku Birthplace" by Kyosuke Kindaichi's Bo, where you can learn about the depth of their relationship.
I did not visit this time, but some of the rooms that Takuboku spent until he moved to Hotoku-ji Temple have been restored and preserved.

And finally, let's talk about the relationship between Chuo-ku and Takuboku!

After returning to Tokyo, Takuboku joined the Asahi Shimbun in Takiyamamachi, Kyobashi-ku (currently Ginza 6-chome, Chuo-ku), and worked as a proofreader for about three years before his death.
I knew for the first time when I visited Iwate Prefecture, but Takuboku was hired by editor-in-chief Shinichi Sato (Beijiang) from Morioka.
It is presumed that the help of the people of the same country came to Tokyo was very encouraging.
Currently, on the site of the Asahi Shimbun in Ginza 6-chome, Takuboku Ishikawa poetry monument is set up, and there is a song engraved on the song "Isoka Fish when I get a newspaper light in Takiyama-cho, Kyobashi."

Takuboku ended his life at a young age from illness and poor life.
Knowing his childhood and youth in Iwate Prefecture has deepened his interest in the work.
Even after the autumn of reading, the cold winter naturally spends more time at home.
I don't read much Japanese literature, but I would like to pick up his work this winter.
