Hidden secrets in Osaka｜A must-visit pilgrimage for Yasunari Kawabata's literary fans📚

As a loyal fan of Kawabata Yasunari, Osaka is definitely a pilgrimage site worth visiting again and again! The Yasunari Kawabata Literary Museum in Ibaraki City has been established for 40 years. Although small, it is extremely exquisite. It’s World Book Day, so this is the best time to read it again✨

The Literary Museum houses countless precious manuscripts and life stories. Compared with 2019, an exquisite model of Kawabata Yasunari's ancestral home has been added, but unfortunately it is impossible to take photos to record it. However, the replica of Kamakura's former residence study in the museum is open to visitors. Not only can you experience the literary giant's creative environment up close, but you can also sit down and imitate his writing style. The calendar on the desk is fixed on April 16. Readers who are familiar with his story will surely be shocked when they see this scene...

There is a "Making Friends Through Literature" monument in the high school near the Literature Museum. This is an important landmark that Kawabata Yasunari personally attended the inauguration ceremony! In addition, Osaka Sumiyoshi Taisha Shrine also hides traces of him - the monument engraved with "Anti-Bridge" is an important scene mentioned in his works.

If you also love the subtlety and romance of Kawabata Yasunari's writings, you might as well visit these little-known literary sanctuaries and feel the soul temperature of a generation of literary masters in the space and time where paper and reality are intertwined🌿
