Takuboku Statue and Monument

に in front of the Hong Kong Cultural Hall

Original Text

There is a building called Kobunkan, which reproduces the Kushiro Shimbun company building that Takuboku Ishikawa worked for when he stayed in Kushiro for 76 days, along the Kushiro River, but it stands in front of it. It's pretty good. There was also a monument in the city, and it has a strong presence for the number of days of stay.

Standing on the site of the Hong Kong Bunkan

Original Text

It stands on the premises of the Kobunkan. Takuboku stayed in Kushiro and worked as a newspaper reporter for more than two months. Still, I leave a lot of songs. Was Kushiro at that time the end of the land?

　This Takuboku statue stands on the opposite bank of Fisherman's Wharf MOO, near the mouth of the Kushiro River. Right next to it was the Kobunkan, which was the building of the former Kushiro Shimbun company where Takuboku worked as a reporter, and there was a Takuboku reference room on the ２ floor in the building. On the monument, a song called "Stand down at Saihateno Station, enter Ayumi in the lonely town of Yuki Akari" was engraved.

The end ～, that's compared to Otaru, which was developing at that time ...

Original Text

It is a statue of Takuboku standing on the banks of the Kushiro River and a monument. Was he despairing when he came here alone in Kushiro with his family in Otaru? It's a poem called ｢ Saihatte ～｣, right? There are many Takuboku materials in the Kobunkan next door, so please look at the monument and statue of your child while thinking about his Kushiro era.
