Miekichi Suzuki Literature Monument

This is a literary monument to Suzuki Miekichi, a pioneer who elevated Japanese fairy tales, children's songs, and old tales to the level of "literature." A bust of Miekichi is placed on the monument on the left, and the pedestal is engraved with the same font as on the cover of the magazine "Akai Tori." On the pedestal of the monument on the right is engraved a sentence in Miekichi's own handwriting: "I will forever have dreams, just like when I was young, so my worries are shallow, Miekichi."
