Kanazawa Municipal Tamagawa Library
Kanazawa Municipal Tamagawa Library, Municipal library in Kanazawa, Japan.
The Kanazawa Municipal Tamagawa Library is a public library in Kanazawa with distinctive 1930s architecture that reflects Japanese design principles of that era. The building provides access to literature collections, research materials, and information resources for visitors.
The building was designed in 1930 by architects Yoshiro Taniguchi and his son Yoshio Taniguchi and later designated as a national cultural property. This collaboration between father and son influenced the development of modern design in Japan.
The library reflects its connection to the city through collections about local writers and regional history. Visitors can see how the community preserves its cultural memory and keeps it alive through contemporary exhibitions.
The building is located in the Tamagawa-machi area and is easy to reach once you know the address. Visitors should note that opening times may vary, so checking ahead is helpful.
The building is the only known project where father and son architects worked together and integrated their different viewpoints into a single design. This rare partnership makes the project notable in architectural history.
