Saito Makoto Memorial Museum - Oshu

I got to know more about the second Prime Minister from Iwate. Many of the relics are on display.

I should have visited there earlier. There were 2.26 incidents and avoided places. It was one who studied very well. I was able to know about Ms. Haruko like well. Whether to stand in front of bullets to protect their husbands ... It stands out among the ladies of the former ward of Meiji.

The memorial hall of Saito Minoru, one of Mizusawa Sanjie, consists of an exhibition room on the 1st floor and the 2nd floor (2.26 incident), a separate house and a library. Everything is connected. It takes about an hour to see everything. It was worth seeing. The staff at the reception is kind. There is also a commemorative stamp.

It is a facility to honor the Prime Minister Saito, who is from Mizusawa, Iwate Prefecture. I think that it may be evaluated as a smart gentle man of the early Showa era who is rich in humanity from the navy. In a difficult phase in which totalitarianism has risen worldwide, it is smart as a naval soldier, and as a politician, he warns over-the-more over-heavy tactics that face reality and be overly brave, and run political administration with a foot on the ground I think it is a few people trying to figure out. After Saito fell into a deadly bullet in the 2.26 affair of 1949, the voice of the military department intensifies, Japan will be isolated from the world and will rush toward the edge of the hell of World War II. The memorial hall is decorated with many exhibits that reflect the character of Satoshi Saito. Above all, the mirror with a huge bullet mark left in the center by the bullet that hit Saito in the 2.26 incident strikes a chest. The facility is located on the road where the famous places such as samurai residences in the city center gather. Because there is parking lot near, it is convenient for visit. I would like to recommend that you take some time to visit.

Violence is an absolute evil and reaffirmed. An era when disarmamentists were assassinated. Mrs. Haruko also learned that she was a noble person

He became Minister of the Navy and then Prime Minister, and finally died in the February 26 Incident while he was in office. Considering that the uncool society has devoted the fate of the country, I think this memorial hall is still important today.

I came to the Saito Makoto Memorial Hall, one of Mizusawa's three great men. At this time of mid-November, I visited the memorial hall of the great man who was scattered in the turbulence while the autumn leaves were about to end and the dead leaves were scattered. Medium ... The person in charge does not come out. Even if I ring the call bell several times at the reception for about 3 minutes, it does not come out, so I finally appeared when I called out in a loud voice. Apparently it was like eating. Around noon on weekdays ... There are no visitors and it is reserved for about two hours. To save electricity, the lighting and heating in the hall are turned off and it is pitch black and chilly. While the Takano Choei Memorial Hall had almost no materials or relics, the Saito Makoto Memorial Hall is full of materials and relics and is worth seeing. Among them, materials of incidents that are hard to come out in the vivid world, such as blood-stained pillows, futons, and ammunition when they fell down due to the February 26 Incident, are also exhibited. The biggest surprise was that Mrs. Haruko stood in front of a thug officer who was shooting with a gun to protect her husband and became a shield by herself. An era when we were married at the recommendation of matchmaking and relatives rather than romance. It seems that the bond between the couple was stronger than it is now. Looking at the materials of the February 26 Incident at the exhibition on the second floor and reviewing the materials of Mrs. Haruko on the first floor ... I would be happy if there was such a wife. To that end, I wouldn't be able to get the balance unless I became a man of its own ... The Saito Makoto Memorial Hall, where I worked as the prime minister, has a lot of materials and I can't see the library stack, but it's as rich as the library at that time. A wide variety of books at the time, such as a bunch of English newspapers, as well as newspapers are stored. Even if you are not interested in shaving and toothbrushes at that time, it is fun to stop by and take a look. Saito Makoto Memorial Hall in a chartered state ... I want you to get more attention.
