The poet Kusano Shinpei (1903–1988) was deeply moved by the people and nature of Kawauchi Village in Futaba District and visited Kawauchi almost every year. Kawauchi Village conferred on Shinpei the title of Honorary Village Resident, and later, prompted by his donation of 3,000 volumes to the village, the Tenzan Bunko was built in the village to house his collection. This exhibition, marking the 60th anniversary of the Tenzan Bunko’s establishment, presents Shinpei’s ties with Kawauchi Village and works related to the village.
