Welcome to The Shiki Museum
The Shiki Museum
Masaoka Shiki was a scholar of literature (one of the greatest haiku poets in Japan) who was born and raised in Matsuyama. Shiki-related documents, photographs, and paintings are on display, along with exhibits about Matsuyama's history.
The Shiki Museum, which opened on April 2, 1981, is a literary museum established with the goals of acquainting more people with Matsuyama and deepening the knowledge and understanding of Matsuyama’s traditional culture and literature, via the life and work of Masaoka Shiki.
The ivory-colored exterior of the building and its copper-plated roof, which were designed to suggest a traditional Japanese kura, or storehouse, lend it a Meiji atmosphere and harmonize well with the surrounding greenery of Dogo Park. The doors at the front entrance and the latticework decorating the second floor windows borrow cover designs from Hototogisu, a haiku magazine Shiki helped found.
