The Sunamachi Cultural Center, which houses the Ishida Hakyo Memorial Museum dedicated to the haiku poet associated with Koto City, Tokyo, is holding a related special exhibition. Yuji Ishizuka co-founded the haiku society 'Tsuru' alongside Hakyo Ishida and inherited 'Tsuru' after Hakyo’s death, earning a strong reputation as a haiku poet who supported Hakyo. However, Ishizuka was also a publisher and novelist with different social circles and creative activities from Hakyo. The exhibition focuses on newly donated materials highlighting Ishizuka’s involvement with prison-related publications and exchanges, shedding new light on his multifaceted persona.
