A museum dedicated to novelist Natsume Soseki (1867-1916) that closed in 2016 has reopened in a new location in southeast England.

Previously in south London, at the site of Soseki's lodgings during his stay in Britain, the museum closed after 32 years amid dwindling attendance and high maintenance costs, among other problems.

Ikuo Tsunematsu, a retired professor who runs the museum, decided to move the collection to his home in Sussex, south of the capital, at the request of fans of the author.
