Near the entrance is the sculpture ``Ishiza'' depicting Kenji resting in a stone quarry, the ``Constellation'' which is inspired by the galaxy with dim lights flashing at night, and the ``Star Tour Song'' composed by Kenji from a cello object. ``On-za'' where you can hear the sound of the sound, ``Kinu-za'' with a motif of the Silk Road that Kenji admired, ``Hanaza'' with the image of a flower bed designed by Kenji, and ``Shiza'' with a ceramic board inscribed with tanka poems written by Kenji. . Each of the monuments tells the story of nature's small life forms, and conveys Kenji's message of compassion.

    Morioka Machiya Story Museum

    Morioka Machiya Monogatari Museum opened in July 2014 with the concept of ``encountering nostalgic bustle.'' As a lively and nostalgic place for relaxation that is easy for everyone to use, it also serves as a local information center and a place to disseminate information on local culture. As a new regional core facility, we are working together with the citizens to operate it. In addition, we will take advantage of the five functions of this facility: ``interact,'' ``see,'' ``experience,'' ``eat,'' and ``buy.'' We aim to preserve and disseminate not only the charm of our facilities, but also the many fascinating lifestyle cultures of the Katayacho area as resources.
