The Shiki Museum (Shiki Memorial Museum)
子規記念博物館
Touch the life of Masaoka Shiki, who laid the foundation for modern haiku
Shiki Masaoka, a haiku poet from Matsuyama, was forced to give up his dream many times due to a serious chronic illness, but each time he found new aspirations and ran through the new era of the Meiji era (1868-1912). Approximately 300 items, including actual materials and replicas, are on display at all times, and a video corner introduces Shiki's life and the history and literature of Matsuyama in a way that is easy for anyone to understand. Also on display is a reconstruction of the “Gudabutsu-an” where Shiki lived with Soseki Natsume (famous Japanese Novelist) for 52 days.
