Soshisha This is the residence where Meiji writer Tsubouchi, who is also famous as a translator of Shakespeare, spent 15 years from 1920 (Taisho 9)) to his death in 1935 (Showa 10)). Tsubouchi lived in Ara-lodging (present-day Ginza-cho) for about nine years, translating Shakespeare's plays and writing plays such as "Starry Night in the Shadows" and "The Last of the Righteous Time," but when the quiet lodging became noisy and he could no longer concentrate on his writing, he built this new Sokakisha in Mizuguchi-cho. It came to be called "Soshisha" after the fact that there are two large persimmon trees that are said to be more than 300 years old. In the mansion, there is a tower-shaped bookstore and a brush mound, and the oblate of the gate by Aizu Yaichi's brush is also a highlight. * You can tour the garden and the bookstore. < Middle Gate> The inscription "雙柿屋" on the oblong is written by Yaichi Aizu (Akiyo Michijin).

For the prosperity of this garden, and for the sake of the prosperity of this garden, and for the sake of the prosperity of this garden, and for the sake of the prosperity of this garden, and for the sake of the prosperity of this garden, and for the sake of the fountain, and for the sake of the well, the name of the hot spring is the name of the bath. 　August Lucky Day of the 7th year of the Showa era, the persimmon of the house next door, the bald brush is also signed." < kiln-style incinerator> Ikuta Fukuzo.
