    Oita Usuki-shi Hamacho 538
    "This museum, a 15-minute walk from Usuki Station on the JR Nippo Main Line, takes a deep look at the life and career of Yaeko Nogami, a writer who created such masterpieces as ""The Neptune"" and ""Hideyoshi and Rikyu."" The museum is housed in a remodeled part of the Kotegawa Sake Brewery building, which was the artist's childhood home and which stands in a part of Usuki where much old townscape can still be found. Inside, the museum displays a recreation of the study room Nogami used as a girl, as well as some 200 personal effects, including writing implements the author used right up until her passing; letters from famed novelist Natsume Soseki, who was her husband's teacher; and manuscripts written in Nogami's own hand. There is also a video area on the first floor."

    Oita Usuki-shi Hama 980
    "This museum, a 10-minute drive from the Usuki Interchange on the Higashikyushu Expressway, commemorates Kazumasa Yoshimaru, a songwriter famous for creating such songs as ""Ode to Early Spring,"" and ""Kokyo wo hanaruru uta."" Born in Usuki in 1873, the museum was opened inside the former home of the parents of his wife, Yuki Itai, to commemorate the 120th anniversary of his birth. The museum displays sheet music, personal effects, and other items connected to the writer, scholar, and educator. The museum building is an excellently preserved example of late Edo period samurai residences and has been designated a Tangible Cultural Property by the city."

    吉丸一昌の名前は知らなかったのですが、「春は名のみの風の寒さや」で始まる小学校唱歌「早春賦」はほとんどすべての人が知っているのではないでしょうか。この曲の作詞に携わったのが吉丸一昌さんとのことで、色々と勉強になりました。

    Oita Kusu-gun Kusumachi Mori 995-1

    前回来た時には閉館日で隣の歴史資料館だけ見て帰った場所でした。入り口に入場券の販売機があります。入場券をスタッフに渡して閉館日だったことを話すと恐縮していました。ここの館長が韓国人の元々は研究者だったことは新聞か何かで読んだことがありましたが、資料収集の熱意はすごいと感じました。中もきれいで展示もよく整理されていると思いました。

A trip to Oita is tantamount to a long soak in the Beppu baths. The mountainous, coastal prefecture of Oita is renowned for having more onsen than any other prefecture in Japan, most of which lie in the city of Beppu on the west coast of Kyushu, recognizable by its pungent sulphuric aroma and the clouds of steam that puff up across the hillside. Away from the Beppu hot springs await mountains, waterfalls, and temples, so don’t hesitate to explore Oita a little further.
