Study of what a literary museum should be -A Case Study of the Toson Museum in Magome -

本研究旨在探讨马戈梅市土村博物馆的现况，以及博物馆在当地社区的活动与管理。它还考虑了Toson Shimazaki的作品和他出生地的气候。在此基础上，探讨了博物馆的必要性和作用，以及文学博物馆与其他地方现有的文学博物馆的比较。当我们参观托森的出生地马戈梅时，我们可以直接感受到他的作品《Yoakemae》和《Ie》。托森博物馆位于马戈梅的中心，他的家曾经站在那里，收集与托森有关的材料。这些材料都是带着说明陈列的。因此，参观者可以感到熟悉托森，并被深深地带入他的世界。托森博物馆每年举办一次专题展览，有托森文学作品的户外散步，也有托森文学作品的阅读圈和讲座。这鼓励人们一次又一次地来，并与当地人建立密切的关系。正因为如此，博物馆每年有超过10万的游客。从目前其他文学博物馆参观人数的减少来看，这个数字是一个惊人的数字。这是托森博物馆以托森文学为基础，在当地社区不断开展文化活动的结果。他们说，作为文化设施，文学博物馆的成功在于经营者、游客和当地人之间的良好关系。在公共博物馆的尝试下，位于马戈梅群山之间的托森博物馆体现了文学博物馆的应有之义。

This research examines the present condition of the Toson Museum in Magome and the museum's activities and management in the local community. It also considers Toson SHIMAZAKI's works and the climate of his birthplace. It examines the need and role of the museum and what a literary museum should be compared with the present literary museums in other places.When we visit Toson's birthplace in Magome, we can directly experience his works "Yoakemae" and "Ie". The Toson Museum stands in the center of Magome where his home once stood and collects materials to do with Toson. These materials are placed on display with explanations. Therefore visitors can feel familiar with Toson and are taken deeply into his world.It is now said that museums are having hard times. The Toson Museum holds a special exhibition every year, has outdoor walks for Toson's literary works, and also reading circles for his works and lectures on Toson literature. This encourages people to come again and again and have close relations with local people. Because of this, the museum gets over a hundred thousand visitors a year. Judging from the present decrease in the number of visitors of other literary museums, this number is an amazing figure. This is the result of the Toson Museum's efforts and constant cultural activities in the local community using Toson literature as a base.They say that a successful literary museum as a cultural facility is made up of good relations between the operator, visitors and local people. Under a time of trial for public museums, the Toson Museum in Magome among the mountains embodies what a literary museum should be.
