International Library of Children's Literature
International Library of Children's Literature, Children's library in Ueno Park, Japan
The International Library of Children's Literature contains over 700,000 books and publications dedicated to children's literature from around the world.
The library building, constructed in 1906 as the Imperial Library, underwent renovation in 2015 while preserving its Renaissance architectural features.
The collection includes traditional folk tales, contemporary children's literature, and educational materials in multiple languages to promote international understanding.
The facility provides specialized reading rooms for different age groups, accessible bookshelves for children, and nursing rooms with water heaters.
The modern glass-walled Arch Building, designed by Tadao Ando, connects to the original brick structure, creating a bridge between historical and contemporary architecture.
