Takuboku Statue and Monument

に in front of the Hong Kong Cultural Hall

Original Text

There is a building called Kobunkan, which reproduces the Kushiro Shimbun company building that Takuboku Ishikawa worked for when he stayed in Kushiro for 76 days, along the Kushiro River, but it stands in front of it. It's pretty good. There was also a monument in the city, and it has a strong presence for the number of days of stay.

Standing on the site of the Hong Kong Bunkan

Original Text

It stands on the premises of the Kobunkan. Takuboku stayed in Kushiro and worked as a newspaper reporter for more than two months. Still, I leave a lot of songs. Was Kushiro at that time the end of the land?

Original Text

　This Takuboku statue stands on the opposite bank of Fisherman's Wharf MOO, near the mouth of the Kushiro River. Right next to it was the Kobunkan, which was the building of the former Kushiro Shimbun company where Takuboku worked as a reporter, and there was a Takuboku reference room on the ２ floor in the building. On the monument, a song called "Stand down at Saihateno Station, enter Ayumi in the lonely town of Yuki Akari" was engraved.

最果てね～、そりゃ当時の発展してた小樽に比べれば…

釧路川のほとりに立つ啄木の像と歌碑です。 小樽に家族を残してここ釧路に一人で来た時彼は絶望してたのかな？って感じの｢さいはての～｣と言う詩ですよね？ 隣の港文館にも沢山啄木の資料が有るので彼の釧路時代に思いを馳せながら子の歌碑と銅像を眺めて見て下さい。

釧路川のほとりにたたずむ啄木

　釧路川の縁、すぐ横には港文館という旧釧路新聞社の建物があり、川の向かい側には釧路フィッシャーマンズワーフが建っている場所に、この啄木像と歌碑があります。 　石川啄木は、わずかな時間ですが旧釧路新聞社の記者として釧路に住んでいました。港文館の２階には、釧路時代の石川啄木の展示がありますよ。
