軽井沢町
Hori wrote "Yamatoji, " a small sentimental collection of poetic essays about Nara and its historic sites. This was followed by "Adashino", a tragic romance set in the Nara period. His beautiful descriptions of Nara and the world of the ancient capital have been popularized by the tourist authorities in that city. The town of Karuizawa, Nagano prefecture, where Hori stayed during his illness, established the Hori Tatsuo Memorial Museum in his honor. His grave is at Tama Reien, a cemetery in the outskirts of Tokyo.
