Kurushima Takehiko Memorial Hall, Biographical museum in Mori Jin'ya, Japan.

The Kurushima Takehiko Memorial Hall exhibits personal items, photographs, and documents that illustrate the life of this notable Japanese children's literature author.

The memorial hall, which opened on April 28, 2017, preserves the legacy of Kurushima Takehiko, who performed story readings at over 6000 schools across Japan.

The museum displays manuscripts of Kurushima's nursery rhymes, including the famous 'Yūyake Koyake', which remains part of Japanese children's literature today.

The memorial hall offers guided tours in Japanese, educational programs for schools, and maintains regular exhibitions that rotate throughout the year.

Located within the grounds of the former Mori Domain, the museum stands where Kurushima's grandfather served as the last domain head.
