The meeting place will be outside the south wicket of Motomachi-Chūkagai Station (leading to Exits 5–6), at 9:30 am. We will go to 7artscafe after touring the museum. We’ll take a look at well-known 20th century authors who lived in Yokohama (such as Ōsaragi Jirō and Yoshikawa Eiji) and others associated with the city through their novels (such as Tanizaki Jun’ichirō and Mishima Yukio). Glenn Scoggins is an American historian who has called Yokohama home since 1977. Deeply fascinated by the city’s rich history, he first studied it at university and has continued researching it extensively over the years. Specializing in Japanese history, particularly the 19th and 20th centuries, Glenn has taught and written about Yokohama's historical development, sharing his expertise with both students and adult learners. His passion for the city’s past culminated in the publication of a non-fiction book that explores various facets of Yokohama’s history, providing readers with a detailed and engaging look into the city's cultural evolution.
