The place where Miekichi Suzuki healed the sorrow of his heart and wrote his maiden work
In August 1883, when Miekichi Suzuki was in the first year of Tokyo Imperial University, he came to the village to heal his heart and stayed at the Shimoda family, a shipping wholesaler. There, I was exposed to the warm humanity and warm climate of the mistress, the eldest daughter, and the younger brothers, and the illness gradually became less severe. At that time, I wrote to Natsume Soseki as a recent status report, the maiden work "Chidori" that suddenly appeared on the Bundan after receiving Soseki's praise. And, "Crying to a small island off the coast where you can't cry by your parents" engraved on the monument standing on the site of the former Shimoda mansion is a passage of a letter that wrote to a friend the feelings of Miekichi during his stay in Nomi Island. is.
