Eight years ago today, I visited Sendai Literature Museum for the first time and thought the special exhibition "Literature and Unequal Society” was an ambitious plan. Teru Shimamura, Professor of Ferris University, lectured about Takiji Kobayashi's book "Kani Kōsen"(The Crab Cannery Ship) at a lecture hall of the museum on February 26th. I wish I had listened to his lecture.
