Osaragi Jiro Memorial Museum

Osaragi Jiro Memorial Museum, Literary memorial museum in Harbor View Park, Yamatecho, Japan.

The Osaragi Jiro Memorial Museum occupies a red brick building with an arched roof and displays manuscripts, first edition books, and personal items of the writer. The structure is arranged so visitors can walk through different spaces and learn about the author's life and career.

Architect Shizutaro Urabe designed the building, which opened in 1978 to preserve writer Osaragi Jiro's legacy. The opening marked an effort to honor his contributions to modern Japanese literature.

The museum is named after writer Osaragi Jiro and presents his literary world through exhibitions of his published works. Visitors can step into the creative environment that shaped his writing over many decades.

The museum is easy to reach and located within a park with good accessibility for all visitors. It is best to allow enough time to explore the exhibitions and work space thoroughly.

A special feature is the preserved study room of the writer with his original furniture and writing tools. This space shows firsthand how the author worked during his later years.
