Lafcadio Hearn Memorial Museum
Admission fee 300Yen
On display here are objects belonging or related to Lafcadio Hearn, one of the earliest and most prolific writers to reveal unfamiliar Japan to the west. Of particular note is Hearn's specially designed desk, built tall to bring his work nearer to his one good eye. Other items on display include his favorite quill and inkpot, as well as several favorites from his large Japanese pipe collection. The structure is also used by the Hearn Literary Society, "Yakumo- Kai".
