Iinan District Library

In 1910, Iinan District Library was built in memory of the crown princeʼs (later became the Emperor Taisho) visit to Matsusaka Park.

In 1918, Yasujiro wrote in his diary “I went to the park with my friend Inui and took a nap there.”

This is a place unique to Matsusaka because you can imagine how he (who later became a worldwide movie director) was taking a nap in this library. Currently the second floor of the museum is the “Ozu Yasujiro Memorial Museum of Matsusaka”. There are various exhibits showing Yasujiro's life in Matsusaka.
