Takeo Arishima, a reputable novelist-critic of the Shirakaba-ha (-school), built his family house in Sapporo in 1913, when he was a professor of the Agricultural College of Tohoku University since having finished his study in the United States of America. His house, a modest two-storied timber structure with a mansard (gambrel) roof, was possibly desighed by Arishima himself, who conceived its characteristic fusion of the western style in the exterior, and the general plan with the conventionally Japanese style in the interior. In the following year, Arishima moved to Tokyo with his family for medical treatment of his diseased wife. The former Arishima's house has been passed from one to another, -once owned by Dr. Kokichi Morimoto, who was one of Arishima's intimate friends and founded, with him, the Bunkafukyukai, that was a society of propagation for domestic culture,- and is, lastly, to be preserved as a Takeo Arishima's Memorial in the "Sapporo Art Forest". This paper deals with the history of the house since the realization, and the reconstruction of the original design.
