Hijiri Miki Kütüphanesi

The Seimiki Library occupies the second floor of Kibi Hall, adjacent to St. Ignatius Church, featuring collections focused on Christian literature and religious studies.

The library originated as a lending room called Seimiki Bunko in 1949, established by Father Peter Krumbach after the dedication ceremony of St. Ignatius Church.

The library name honors Paul Miki, one of the Twenty-Six Martyrs of Japan, reflecting the deep connection between Japanese and Christian heritage.

The library operates from Monday through Saturday between 11:00 and 18:00, with Sunday hours from 10:00 to 17:00, maintaining regular closures on Thursdays.

As a specialized institution managed by the Society of Jesus, the library maintains an extensive collection of Jesuit-related materials and Christian resources in Japan.
