    This memorial museum is dedicated to Hiraga Gennai – sometimes the inventor, sometimes the writer, and other times the potter, he was a dyed in the wool free spirt who was active in a broad array of fields. Inspired by Hiraga, who hiked across the country to engage in natural history research, the museum is designed around the theme of “walking.” Newly remodeled in 2009, the museum consists of two locations – a main building, and an annex whose grounds enclose Hiraga’s former residence as well as a medicinal herb garden. Here visitors can learn about Hiraga’s extensive achievements through videos and activities. Hiraga’s former residence is located around 500 meters west of the main building and has been designated a National Tangible Cultural Property.

    琴電志度駅から徒歩3分。2階建ての建物の1階部分が展示室となっている。入館料は500円(平賀源内旧邸との共通券)。 平賀源内は1728年に志度に生まれた。「エレキテルを発明した」と教わった記憶があるが、「壊れたエレキテルを修理し、改良品を作った」というのが正しいようである。源内は非常に多才な人で、様々な発明品の他、自身が書いた小説(戯作)や絵画も展示されていた。 展示物は多いとは言えないが、ここを...

    Kagawa Pref. Takamatsushi Murechouomachi 1132-1
    "This memorial hall is dedicated to the Japanese American furniture designer George Nakashima. His works on display teach about his life and creative philosophy. When making furniture he thought it was important to ""always remember the long life of trees and find a way to make them come alive in their next form."" A visit will give you a real sense of his affection for trees and furniture."

    ジョージナカシマさんについて初めて知りました。様々な経歴を重ね、苦労されて木に惹かれていく彼のお話を記念館のガイドさんからお聞きしました。感動的でした。木の優しさに改めて触れることができました。高価な家具ですが、納得の価格と思います。

Japan’s smallest prefecture, Kagawa, may take up just a small corner of Shikoku, but it has grown increasingly popular with the recognition of Naoshima, its "art island" in the Seto Inland Sea between Shikoku and Honshu. Just a stone’s throw from the islands, mainland Kagawa’s prefectural capital, Takamatsu, holds history in its castle ruins and its pride and joy, Ritsurin Garden, is known as one of the country’s best gardens.
