Setagayabungakukan

Since opening in 1995, this museum has built its identity around genre-crossing special exhibitions that take literature as their axis while drawing in adjacent fields — manga, film, art, design, music. It also runs community-linked programs like markets and traveling exhibitions. Its guiding principles are to be 'a literature museum that preserves and carries forward Setagaya's distinctive literary landscape and contributes to revitalizing the community,' and 'a museum that creates spaces and occasions for residents' cultural exchange, serving as a hub for new local culture.'
