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

本研究考察了马戈美Toson博物馆的现状，以及博物馆在当地社区的活动和管理。它还考虑了岛崎敏充的作品和他出生地的气候。它考察了博物馆的需求和作用，以及文学博物馆应该与其他地方的现有文学博物馆进行比较。当我们参观土生在马戈美的出生地时，我们可以直接体验到他的作品《Yoakemae》和《ie》。Toson博物馆坐落在他的家曾经矗立的Magome的中心，收集与Toson有关的材料。这些材料被陈列，并附有解释。因此，参观者可以对Toson感到熟悉，并深入他的世界。现在据说博物馆正处于艰难时期。Toson博物馆每年举办一次特别展览，有Toson文学作品的户外散步，也有他的作品和关于Toson文学的讲座的读书圈。这鼓励人们一次又一次地来，并与当地人有密切的关系。正因为如此，博物馆每年的参观者超过10万人。从目前其他文博馆参观人数减少的情况来看，这个数字是一个惊人的数字。这是Toson博物馆努力的结果，也是当地社区以Toson文献为基地不断开展文化活动的结果。他们说，一个成功的文学馆作为一种文化设施，是由经营者、参观者和当地人之间良好的关系组成的。在公共博物馆的试用期，位于群山之中的马戈梅的Toson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.
