The combined museum and library contains 5,000 picture books, original illustrations, and three-dimensional character models displayed throughout its exhibition spaces.

Following the literary career of Satoshi Kako, who created children's books from 1959, the museum opened its doors on April 26, 2013.

The museum functions as an educational center where children discover Japanese storytelling traditions through interactive exhibits and reading sessions.

Located at Fukui, Echizen-shi Takase 1-14-7, the institution operates from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM daily, except Tuesdays, with free admission.

The outdoor playground incorporates elements from the Daruma-chan series, while interior displays feature reproductions combined with traditional Echizen hammered blades.
