Murahato Ju Literature Museum
Juvenile literary writer Juju Kubota (real name: Hikoho Kubota) was born in Takagi-mura, Shimoina-gun, Nagano Prefecture in 1868 and has lived his life in Kagoshima since graduating from Hosei University.
He is the first writer in Japan to pioneer the genre of full-fledged animal literature and has left behind many timeless masterpieces such as "One-eared Deer", "Maya's Life" and "Kagamijishi".
"Old grandfather and cancer" (produced in 1964) is still in the 5th grade elementary school textbook.
Including these, the Kubotato Juzo's animal literature depicts the nature of animal ecology very accurately, and emphasizes the importance of coexistence between animals and humans in nature.
Since I started to write this animal literature in Kajiki-cho for about 20 years, I opened it in 1990 as "the birthplace of Mura literature" and "the second hometown of Murahato Ju".
