A rare stone monument with a score

Original Text

Original Text

This was a monument with a piano motif on the south side of Inokashira Park and the shore of Inokashira Pond. Kinao Nakata is a composer known for "Summer Memories" and "Snowy Town", and the melody of "Found a Chisai Autumn" was born while walking around Inokashira Onshi Park.

It's along the promenade leading to "Inokashira Benzaiten".

Original Text

When I stayed in Tokyo, I went to Kichijoji at Hisashi 々. Speaking of Kichijoji, after all, "Inokashira Onshi Park" cannot be removed. The park was also Hisashi 々, but it's the first time I went to winter. On the contrary, it might have been nice to be empty. Although it is a regular course, there was this "Kinao Nakata's Monument" along the promenade leading to "Inokashira Benzaiten", which is built at the foot of the west side of the pond, across the bridge over "Inokashira Pond". ... for those who composed "Small Autumn Found" that everyone knows.
