Tokushima Prefectural Museum of Literature and Calligraphy, Literary and calligraphy museum in Nakamaegawachō, Japan
The Tokushima Prefectural Museum of Literature and Calligraphy displays manuscripts, books, and artworks that record Japanese writing traditions and literary works. Located within Bunka-no-mori Park, it presents both permanent exhibitions and rotating displays.
The museum opened in October 2002 to preserve the literary and calligraphic heritage of Tokushima Prefecture. Its founding was part of a broader cultural initiative to make regional artistic traditions accessible to future generations.
The collection reflects how calligraphy and literature shaped local identity in this region. Visitors encounter works by regional artists alongside classical pieces that illustrate the country's writing systems and brush techniques.
The museum sits within Bunka-no-mori Park and welcomes visitors from Tuesday through Sunday. Regular workshops and events offer hands-on opportunities to engage with calligraphy and literary themes.
The museum allows visitors to participate in calligraphy workshops and study historical manuscripts up close. This hands-on experience lets people explore the art form rather than simply observe it from a distance.
