Dear artlibraries.net community,

 

As a part of art libraries community in Japan, we are honored to be able to participate in this longstanding international project dedicated to art history.  Since we understand that there were many challenging tasks including character encoding, we are truly grateful for colleagues who overcame these difficulties and made it happen.

 

I herewith would like to let you know our libraries in Tokyo:

 

Research Library of the National Museum of Western Art, Tokyo (NMWA):
