The Love Story of Chieko Playing with Plovers

Love of Light and Shadow

The 'Chieko-sho no Hi' monument at Kujukuri Beach bears the deep affection of poet and sculptor Takamura Kotaro for his wife Chieko. From the meeting of Kotaro and Chieko to their separation, a story of happiness and sorrow intertwines within.

Released from the Gray Sky of Tokyo

'Tokyo sky, gray sky, says she wants to see the real sky' When Chieko fell ill and went to recuperate at Kujukuri Beach, Kotaro wrote a passage of this poem. Did Chieko, healed by the great nature of Kujukuri, regain the true blue sky?

Beyond the Clouds

Looking at the beach where beach morning glory blooms, Kotaro dedicated the poem 'Chieko riding the wind' to Chieko. However, happiness did not last long. Four years later, Chieko left this world. The thoughts of Kotaro, who longed for Chieko who traveled beyond the clouds, still remain here.

Seeking Healing Skies and Seas

Once, it was a place where you could overlook the beautiful Kujukuri Beach, but now it is blocked by a toll road, and you cannot directly view the sea. However, around the well-maintained monument, a quiet atmosphere remains. Would you like to visit this place and seek the true sky and sea that Kotaro and Chieko sought?

There is a Chieko Sho Monument along the coast of Kujukuri Town, where the wife of the poet and sculptor Kotaro Takamura was recuperating. Every week, Kotaro Takamura traveled from Tokyo to visit a relative's house where his wife was recuperating. You can see Kotaro Takamura's deep love for his wife😌I also wanted to see the Convolvulus that grows in clusters at Kujukuri Beach, but there were many places where entry was prohibited due to the construction of a seawall, so I was only able to see a few. Still, the pink Convolvulus was beautiful.

In 1934, Chieko, the wife of Kotaro Takamura, spent about six months recovering from illness, and the monument is engraved with the phrase ``Chieko Playing with a Plover'' from Kotaro Takamura's ``Chieko Sho.'' In 1911, Kotaro met Chieko Naganuma, a female painter, and the two began a relationship of love and beauty together. However, the happiness did not last long and psychosis struck Chieko. The two visited Kujukurihama in 1934 for treatment for mental illness, and Kotaro left behind poems filled with his boundless love for Chieko, such as ``Chieko Playing with a Plover'' and ``Chieko Riding the Wind.'' However, against Kotaro's wishes, Chieko passed away four years later, on October 5, 1938. You can park next to the sign.

"Tokyo's sky, gray sky, I say I want to see the real sky..." This is the opening line of "Chieko Sho", a huge hit sung by the second generation Columbia Rose in 1968. I guess he was recuperating here in Makame. Looking at the sea in Kujukuri, looking at the sky, I guess he was thinking about the sky of his hometown, Mt. Adatara. I'd like to think that I was able to see the real sky in Kujukuri 😃 Volunteers built a monument in a place with a view of the sea, but now the Kujukuri toll road is right in front of me. I passed by and couldn't see the beautiful coastline 😢 It's a shame 😭

Currently it is blocked by the Kujukuri Toll Road and you cannot directly see Kujukuri Beach, but it is still beautifully maintained and stands quietly.

It's like some kind of forgotten ruin. The grass is plentiful and the fence has fallen down, which is very sad.
