"Picture Book Library"
For Children and for Adults Who Were Once Children
Was there once a picture book that you really liked? You probably had a favorite, one that you had your family members or teachers read to you, or read yourself again and again. For this exhibition, we will collect about 250 picture books and children’s books that are not only popular with children, but able to take adults back to the innocence of childhood, and set up a space where visitors can read them at will divided into the following 6 sections: "Let’s look at countries all over the world!," "Me and everyone," "Road to peace," "What do you want to be when you grow up?," "Let’s go on an adventure!" and "Books recommended by participating artists of the exhibition." As well as long-time bestseller picture books that have been popular for decades, the line-up will include recent series that reflect the experiences of children around the world today and books that make us think about issues such as peace and diversity. Picture books recommended by artists participating in the exhibition will also be available.
