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

本研究考察了在Magome的Toson博物馆的现状以及博物馆在当地社区的活动和管理。它还考虑了岛崎东生的作品和他出生地的气候。它考察了博物馆的需要和作用，以及与其他地方现有的文学博物馆相比，文学博物馆应该是什么。当我们参观东森在Magome的出生地时，我们可以直接体验他的作品“Yoakemae”和“Ie”。东森博物馆坐落在他的家曾经所在的Magome中心，收集与东森有关的资料。这些材料在展出时附有说明。因此，游客可以对Toson感到熟悉，并深入他的世界。据说现在博物馆的日子不好过。东森博物馆每年都会举办特别展览，并举办东森文学作品的户外散步，以及东森文学作品的阅读圈和讲座。这鼓励人们一次又一次地来，并与当地人民建立密切的关系。正因为如此，博物馆每年接待超过十万的游客。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。这是东森博物馆以东森文学为基础，在当地不断开展文化活动的结果。他们说，作为文化设施的文学博物馆是由经营者、游客和当地居民之间的良好关系组成的。在公共博物馆面临考验的时期，位于群山之中的马戈梅的东森博物馆体现了文学博物馆的应有之处。

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.
