Toyo Bunko Museum

Toyo Bunko is a library of Oriental studies.
This museum exhibits historical books about Oriental world.

In the Orient Hall on the 1st floor, you'll see many old original books in a long exhibition case and books in the library on graphic screen.

The second floor is dark to protect books.
When you get to the second floor, there's an impressive Morrison's library.

Hisaya Iwasaki, the founder of Toyo Bunko and a member of Iwasaki financial group bought 24,000 books from Australian Professor Morrison who studied about Orient in Beijing.

Also, some Ukiyo-e arts are exhibited in turn only for 1 month in 100 years.

Exhibitions here are unique and beautiful.

A fine restaurant is on the back side of museum and some sentences in foreign languages are on the wall of the hall way to the restaurant. Garden between the museum and the restaurants is nice to see.
