Kenji Miyazawa Poetry Monument (Former Prefectural Library Square)

Morioka City

Central Iwate

    Kenji Miyazawa's poem monument ``Iwate Park'' is located in Morioka Castle Ruins Park (Iwate Park) near the Nakatsugawa River, and depicts the scene of the poem itself: ``The river and banks are green with trees, and the city is quietly twilight.'' It is built inside. This poem, which begins with ``Kanata,'' and Mr. Tapping is old and swings his cane far and wide, is a literary poem written in August 1930, one month before Kenji's death. In addition to his missionary work, Tapping taught English at Morioka Junior High School, and his wife is the founder of Morioka Kindergarten.
