Tagawa Suiho・Norakuro Museum, Biographical and comics museum in Morishita, Japan
The Tagawa Suiho・Norakuro Museum displays original sketches, manuscripts, and memorabilia related to the comic character Norakuro, a black dog soldier created in 1931.
Following its establishment in November 1999, the museum preserves the legacy of Suiho Tagawa, who created military-themed stories during Japan's pre-World War II period.
The collection includes illustrations from Shonen Kurabu magazine, where Norakuro's adventures reached circulation numbers of 750,000 copies by 1936.
The museum welcomes visitors daily from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM, offering exhibitions that trace the development of Japanese comic art through Tagawa's work.
The museum exhibits original manuscripts showing Norakuro's progression from a private to captain in stories that shifted from humor to military narratives.
