Kyoto, Kyoto / 京都国際マンガミュージアム

Kyoto International Manga Museum

A manga museum and library run jointly by Kyoto City and Kyoto Seika University, housed in a former elementary school building from the early Showa period. Its collection of about 300,000 items ranges from mid-Edo caricatures and Meiji magazines to postwar rental books, current hits and overseas titles. About 50,000 manga books line the "Wall of Manga", shelves some 200 m long, and can be read freely anywhere on the grounds, even on the lawn on a fine day.
