    久保市乙剣宮のすぐ近くにある金沢を代表する作家のひとりである氏の展示館で、生家があった場所に建っています。この手の場所はある程度の知識があるファンを想定したような展示もありますが、こちらはかなり初心者でもわかりやすい展示でした。

    日本の近代文学を代表する作家の一人で、こちらの記念館の近くが生誕地だそうです。梅ノ橋を南側から渡るとすぐのところにありました。書斎の再現や遺品の展示など、よくあるタイプの展示館ですが、和紙の人形で登場人物か紹介されているのはなかなか珍しい感じでした。

Long, thin Ishikawa prefecture runs along the Sea of Japan up into Noto Peninsula. Highlights of the seaside towns lining the west coast include Kanazawa, often described as a "Little Kyoto" thanks to its old wooden tea houses and geisha culture as well as its picturesque Japanese garden, Kenroku-en.
