- quote -
Natsume Soseki was born, raised and passed away in Shinjuku. He spent the last nine years of his life in Waseda-Minamicho, where he devoted himself to writing and published many of his representative works. The house was called “Soseki Sanbo”, which many of his followers visited every Thursday. The gathering became a literary salon, which was called Mokuyokai （ Soseki Thursday meeting). In 1920, after his death, the study room, guest room and preserved, while the main building was rebuilt. Although the whole house was burnt down by an air strike in May 1945, it is still in living memory.
Shinjuku City Office is going to open the first fully-scale Soseki Museum at the site of his former residence, “Soseki Sanbo”, 7 Waseda Minamicho, in September 2017, the 150th anniversary of his birth. ...
