View on GoogleA facility in Asakusa, Tokyo. "Ikenami Shotaro Memorial Library" Anyone interested in Shotaro Ikenami, the original author of familiar dramas like Onihei Hankachō, will enjoy it. Still, it's surprising all over again that he wrote this many books. Having a drink at the restaurants he frequented is also quite stylish.
View on GoogleThe Ikenami Shotaro Memorial Library is on the 1st floor of the Taito City Lifelong Learning Center on Kappabashi Dougu Street in Asakusa. It has his background, handwritten manuscripts, cherished belongings, his own paintings, his books, and more. I've read Onihei Hankachō and his food books a lot, so it was really great ♪ I was surprised all over again at how much he wrote! Wonderful!
View on GoogleIt's about the size of a small convenience store, right on your left as you enter the library on the 1st floor of the Taito City Lifelong Learning Center Photography was prohibited If you just take a quick look, it's about 10 minutes If you're a Shotaro Ikenami fan and take your time, it would probably take hours After all, they display things like the original manuscripts and scripts of Onihei Hankachō There's even a corner recreating Shotaro Ikenami's study It's not a full-scale place like the Ikenami Shotaro Sanada Taiheiki Museum in Ueda, Shinshu, or the Shiba Ryotaro Memorial Museum in Osaka, but for fans, it's irresistible... I think that's the kind of place it is They also sell a few goods On the way back, I think it'd be nice to stop by Sensō-ji to pray, then have a quick drink at a soba shop before heading home Sensō-ji is about a 10-minute walk Considering how much the characters in Onihei Hankachō all walked, it's nothing Hoppy Street is on the way too
View on GoogleA facility inside the Taito City Lifelong Learning Center. The Central Library occupies the 1st–2nd floors of the building, and the memorial library is inside the library. There's an exhibition corner on Shotaro Ikenami's life, works, manuscripts, and paintings, and a corner with a wide collection of period novels. Since it's inside the library it isn't large, but there's also a reproduction of his study, so I think anyone who likes period novels will enjoy it. Also, on the 2nd floor of the Central Library there's a local history research room, where mini exhibitions are sometimes held.
