Index

    Penned by the writer SHIBA Ryōtarō, the novel Saka no Ue no Kumo (“Clouds Above the Hill”) depicts the growth of Meiji-era Japan as a modern nation through the lives of the Matsuyama-born MASAOKA Shiki and brothers AKIYAMA Yoshifuru and Saneyuki. This museum, designed by architect ANDŌ Tadao, is a key part of this plan. Set in the Meiji period when Japan was emerging as a modern nation, the novel presents the lives of the AKIYAMA Yoshifuru and Saneyuki brothers, and MASAOKA Shiki, who all came from Matsuyama. The museum has exhibits about them and their historical background in the Meiji period. The novel was serialized in the Sankei Shimbun newspaper from 1968 until 1972 and was made into a television drama that aired from 2009 to 2011.Saka no Ue no Kumo Museum is a hub museum for Matsuyama City’s “Saka no Ue no Kumo” Field Museum Initiative. The project aims to turn the city into one large open museum. This facility exhibits the story of the three real-life protagonists of the novel and the history of the Meiji era they lived through. It is also a place for the community to share and present the ongoing development of the city.
