    みなかたくまくす、というのは本名。明治時代の日本人に海外の著名な学者たちと交流のあったひとがいたとは驚きです。幼少のおりから人並外れた才能の持ち主で上京後、さらに米国と英国に行き粘菌をはじめとした植物学を極めたうえその知的欲求は民俗学にまで及んだという知の巨人です。館内にはこのひとが残した書き物や私物が綺麗に展示されています。 白浜温泉街の中心部からはやや離れたところにある岬のうえにあり、記念館に...

    Wakayama Higashimuro-gun Kushimotocho Kashino 1033
    The museum is located on the eastern edge of Kii Oshima Island. 62 years before the arrival of Perry's black ships, in 1791 (Kansei 3), two American merchant ships, the Lady Washington and the Grace, landed on Oshima. The museum exhibits dioramas, photographs, and models of the ships that illustrate this event.

    Surprisingly, it was very interesting. Everything is in English too. Very much worth the visit. The BEST view in the whole area is from behind that museum. It does not seems like many people go...

    大石順教尼は踊り子で順調に人生を歩みながらも、事件で突然両手を失いながらも文字を学び、口に筆を加えて絵や文字を書き、更には女性の障害者の支援団体を作った素晴らしい方です。文字を見ると困難に負けない勇気が出ます。

Besides displays of his possessions and various documents, there are many superb paintings by the master artist Ikuo Hirayama, whose wife was Tsunejiro's oldest daughter Michiko. You'll need reservations if you're visiting with a group.

    地元の政治家である松山常次郎の資料館ですが、平山郁夫さんの婦人の生家であり、絵を期待しましたが、絵は一枚もありませんでした。

    Wakayama Pref. Higashimurogunkushimotochou Kashino 1025-25
    You’ll find this Turkish memorial building in Kushimoto Town of Higashimuro County, Wakayama Prefecture. The “Ertuğrul Fırkateyni,” a wooden battle cruiser from the Ottoman Empire bearing a special envoy, sank in 1890 in the Kumano Sea, resulting in 587 deaths. Thanks to the generous rescue efforts of the locals, Japan and Turkey have enjoyed warm relations ever since. The building contains materials related to the sunken vessel as well as models, mementos from the sailors, and more. You can see the crash site from the observation deck on the second floor.

    遊覧船の時間待ちが長くたまたま立ち寄りましたが、なぜ記念館があるのかわかりません。全く個人的趣味で建てられたのでは？？と思います。作品もほんの少しです。
