一滴水記念館Memorial Library of One-drop-of-water

In July, a house in an ancient Japanese style, built in 1915 by the father of Mr 水上勉 [Minakami Tsutomu, 1919-2004], was relocated piece by piece from 福井県Fukui-ken in Japan and re-assembled and re-finished in Danshui, next to Danshui Golf Course. It is christened "一滴水記念館", the namesake of "若州一滴文庫" (a literary library in Mr 水上's hometown), to promote cultural exchange. The masterpieces of both Mr 水上 and Mr 陳舜臣 [a Taiwanese writer born in Kobe, 1924 - ] will be housed on site. Mr 水上 was a well-known writer of deductive-detective novels and Mr 陳 specializes in recreating historical events.

  1. Funny. Chen's father is from Shin-Sou (新荘)and his relatives are still living there. Why his collections in Tamsui?

  3. It turns out the connection is Mr Chen's book on the first Sino-Japanese war.
