Fukuoka City Museum of Literature, Literary museum in Sumiyoshi, Japan.
The Fukuoka City Museum of Literature occupies a red brick building with a copper-plated roof, small towers, and distinctive dormer windows.
The building, completed in 1909 by architects Kingo Tatsuno and Yasu Kataoka, initially served as the Kyushu branch office of Nippon Life Insurance Company.
The museum collects and exhibits manuscripts, letters, and publications from writers who lived, studied, or maintained connections with Fukuoka Prefecture.
Located seven minutes from Tenjin subway station, the museum opens daily from 09:00 to 22:00 and provides free admission to its permanent exhibitions.
The Japanese government designated this English-style architectural structure as a Precious Cultural Asset in March 1969.
