Yukio Mishima
Former Maeda Residence and Kamakura Museum of Literature
16/10/2025
Another Western-style building stands at the Kamakura Museum of Literature. It is the former Maeda Residence. However, this tangible cultural property will be dismantled and disappear. Before that happens, I had the opportunity to enter the site and take photographs, so I wish to leave a small record of it here. Along with this, I will also include photographs of the Kamakura Museum of Literature before its renovation work.
Yukio Mishima and Montblanc fountain pens

This is the Mishima Yukio Literary Museum in Lake Yamanaka. Inside the museum, Mishima's study has been recreated, and on his desk is his favorite Montblanc fountain pen. The fountain pen in the photo is the Montblanc fountain pen that I use, in imitation of Mishima.
