Tayama Katai Literature Museum

The Tayama Katai Literature Museum displays manuscripts, photographs, and personal belongings of the Japanese writer throughout multiple exhibition rooms.

The museum opened in 1987 to preserve the legacy of Katai Tayama, who pioneered naturalistic literature in Japan during the late 19th century.

Exhibits present the evolution of Japanese literature through Tayama's works, including his renowned novels 'Inaka Kyoshi' and 'Futon'.

The museum organizes regular educational programs and guided tours, allowing visitors to learn about Tayama's influence on modern Japanese literature.

Original manuscripts and letters from Tayama's time as a war correspondent during the Russo-Japanese War form part of the permanent collection.
