Irohasou is featured in a book by Taiwanese writer Liu Yangming (劉揚銘): 思考人生大哉問的早上醒來就要去買菜：尾道散漫日記 (published by 堡壘文化, 2026).
Liu once stayed in Onomichi and also worked as a caretaker at Irohasou. The book is a collection of everyday moments from his time in the town. A book event was held at Shosuien in Onomichi on September 18.
Please note that the book is written in Chinese. There is no Japanese or English edition. It is available at bookstores in Taiwan and as an e-book. It will also be on sale at Irohasou from November 22 (JPY 2,500).
We are happy to know that daily life in Onomichi is reaching readers across the sea.
