Ashikagagakkoiseki Library

It was built in 1918 to store the kanji of Ashikaga School, which was closed in 1905. At one time, general books were displayed as a library in Ashikaga City, making it a place of study for elementary and junior high school students. Currently, the collections and works of art at schools, including Chinese nationals, designated as national treasures, have been moved to the newly established warehouse, and the archeological library is the place where planned exhibitions are held. In addition to Chinese books related to the era, the Manyoshu, swords and hanging scrolls, in the summer, there are also exhibitions of books and pictures of youkai and ghosts.

Many Chinese books were kept on display. What attracted me was the exhibition showing the part from which each era was derived.

You can only read inside the library

It was the first time in about a year that an exhibition of "swords" was held, but this time at the Ashikaga School Ruins Library, three famous swords, today is the last day 〰〰❗

Important cultural asset of Ashikaga City!
