Boy Takuboku statue

Shunsuke Matsumoto

Born in Shibuya, Tokyo. He moved to Hanamaki when he was a toddler, moved to Morioka when he was 10, and lived in Iwate Prefecture until he was 17. He was devoted to Modigliani. In 1930, ``Buildings'' was selected for the Nika Exhibition for the first time, and in 1945, ``City'' received a special award. Although he actively held exhibitions during the war, even though there were no venues for his presentation, the war ended in a weakened state, and the ``painter of color and line'' passed away at the young age of 36.

Morioka Jajamen Chitan

We take care to boil the noodles after the customer orders, and the noodles are chewy with plenty of fresh green onions and cucumbers. A dish that we are proud of and goes perfectly with handmade miso. The Chitang soup, which is made using locally-raised eggs with a firm yolk, can be served before or after the meal. *Annex Kawatoku store Phone number: 019-656-8868
