Introduction

The Osaragi Jiro Memorial Museum at 113 Yamate-cho, Naka-ku, Yokohama, opened in 1978 to honour the Yokohama-born novelist Osaragi Jiro (1897-1973), author of Kurama Tengu. His books, manuscripts, library and recreated study are shown, alongside his cat collection and French materials; the garden tea room looks over the harbour — a key stop on Yokohama's literary walk.
