Nakamura, Kusatayama's Haiku Monument (Aominami Elementary School)
"The falling snow and the Meiji period are far away"--haiku poet Nakamura, a poet of the school yard in the main gate of Aominami Elementary School. This phrase is the one that it is written when it is a large student and it is a big-time visitor, and it is a representative of the man of the grass. The ceremony was erected in 1977 as the 70th anniversary of the founding of the blue-South small, and the unveiling is carried out by the hand of a man of the grass. Although he had repeatedly moved to China, Tokyo, and Matsuyama, most of the elementary school days went to the blue-South Elementary School (later Aominami Elementary School) in Akasaka-ku. After that, I visited my alma mater for 20 years Buri and was relieved to the appearance which did not change, but I saw the child who wore the cloak in the schoolyard as the snow began to appear, and felt the distance of me who was geta in the kimono.

Belfry
The first belfry was built in Kan'ei 10 years, but the current belfry was rebuilt after the war. The large temple bells in the belfry were so large that it was necessary to cast seven times. The belfry is considered to be one of the three lords of Edo. In the morning and evening, the sound of the two bells is not only a time to tell, but also a six-time invitation to purify a person's 108 disturbing emotions and lead the hearts of the people to a deeper peace. The River Willow in the Edo period has the following things. "Now Ringing is Shiba (Zojoji temple) or Ueno (Kan'ei-ji temple) or Asakusa (Sensoji temple)", "Bell of Turf heard about the Edo seven minutes", "The bell of grass that echoes to the end of the West Country".

At the age of 80, Seijiro decided to establish a museum in 1975 in its own building in Shimbashi, Minato Ward, Tokyo, saying, "Let's open the art that we have collected only for ourselves to the public and enjoy it widely for lovers," and in November 1975, he founded the Matsuoka Museum of Art in its own building in Shimbashi, Minato Ward, Tokyo. Since the collection continued to increase, we planned to build a building in both Tokyo and put a large new art museum in it, but he died in the middle of his ambition. The place chosen by the bereaved family who succeeded the will was the home of Shiroganedai in Minato Ward, which was my favorite. The new museum was completed in April 2000 and has reached the present day. Note: From Sunday, June 2, 2019, the museum will be closed for a long period of time due to restoration surveys and equipment inspections of the collection's works.
Jokyo-ji Temple
There is a monument of two enoki at the gate. It is said that it came to call this ground two enoki because there was a big enoki in the gate (present Meiji Gakuin Gymnasium) as a milestone of the person who traveled the old Tokaido in old times. It is in line with the Komainu in front of Jokyo-ji temple. Komainu is a pretty look too.
