EDIT TOWN
This is a space where visitors can feel the books "breathe" and sense the hustle-bustle of a small "town of books." Supervised by KCM director Seigow Matsuoka, it offers 25,000 titles collected under nine "contexts," through which visitors may gain a better understanding of the world. It is a completely new, innovative model of library book collection. The books are for in-museum use only. However, visitors can take the books to any location they wish within the Edit Town.
