 In the short story "Lemon" by Motojiro Kajii (1901-1932), a modern masterpiece set in Kyoto, the protagonist, whose heart is held down by the "unknown ominous mass", walks around the streets of Kyoto.The Maruzen Kyoto store, which is one of the exhibition venues this time, has appeared in the work, and even now, when it has moved from Sanjo Fuyacho, literary fans sometimes come to leave lemons.

 This exhibition "Motojiro Kajii and" Spirited Away "Kyoto", named after the feeling of walking around the town unique to Kyoto, is a collection of 79 handwritten manuscripts including a draft of "Lemon". This is the largest exhibition where you can see first-class materials such as "spirited away", the first edition of "Lemon", the only book published in his lifetime, and related books.Also on display are old maps and photo panels that trace the research results of this manuscript discovered in 2011 and the memories of walking around the town of Taisho Kyoto.
