The International Library of Children's Literature (ILCL) announces an exhibition entitled "Let's go through Ueno Forest to the library! A brick building over 100 years old" to be held at the ILCL from Tuesday, March 22, to Sunday, May 22, 2022.
The ILCL opened in 2000 in a building that was originally constructed during the Meiji-era as Japan's Imperial Library, which was renovated and expanded while preserving and restoring the structure's original interior and exterior design.
This exhibition reviews the architectural design and history of the ILCL facility with a special emphasis on the Brick Building, which has been designated a metropolitan historic building by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government.
