Kikuichoo 喜久井町 Kikuicho district
Shinjuku, no sub-districts
The Natsume family lived in this district since the Edo period.
The father of the famous author Natsume Soseki, 夏目小兵衛直克 Natsume Kohei Naokatsu named the area after the family crest
igata ni kiku (i no kiku) 井桁に菊 well pattern 井 with chrysanthemum 菊.
He choose the characters 喜久 Ki Ku instead of 菊 kiku for chrysanthemum, to express his love for literature and auspicious meanings.
Natsume Sōseki wrote about this district in his novel
. 硝子戸の中 Inside My Glass Doors in 1915.
今私の住んでゐる近所に喜久井町といふ町がある。
これは私の生れた所だから、ほかの人よりもよく知つてゐる。（中略）この町は江戸と云つた昔には、多分存在してゐなかつたものらしい。江戸が東京に改まつた時か、それともずつと後になつてからか、年代はたしかに分らないが、何でも私の父が拵えたものに相違ないのである。私の家の定紋が井桁に菊なので、それにちなんだ菊に井戸を使つて、喜久井町としたといふ話は、父自身の口から聴いたのか、または他のものから教はつたのか、何しろ今でもまだ私の耳に残つてゐる。父は名主がなくなつてから、一時区長といふ役を勤めてゐたので、あるいはそんな自由も利いたかも知れないが、それを誇にした彼の虚栄心を、今になつて考へて見ると、厭な心持は疾くに消え去つて、ただ微笑したくなるだけである

Natsume Soseki was born, raised and passed away in Shinjuku. He spent the last nine years of his life in Waseda-Minamicho, where he devoted himself to writing and published many of his representative works. The house was called "Soseki Sanbo", which many of his followers visited every Thursday. The gathering became a literary salon, which was called Mokuyokai （ Soseki Thursday meeting). In 1920, after his death, the study room, guest room and preserved, while the main building was rebuilt. Although the whole house was burnt down by an air strike in May 1945, it is still in living memory.
Shinjuku City Office is going to open the first fully-scale Soseki Museum at the site of his former residence, "Soseki Sanbo", 7 Waseda Minamicho, in September 2017, the 150th anniversary of his birth. ...
