They provide clear demonstrations to ensure easy understanding, even though the narration is in Japanese only. You can freely explore the cyberspace, either by browsing the exhibition layout or using it as a reference source to look up bibliographic terms. We encourage you to explore the cyberspace at your own pace, following your interests. We hope that this opportunity allows those who find it difficult to visit from distant areas within the country or from abroad, to connect with the rich world of Japanese literature.
Web Exhibition "Japanese Literary History Based on Documents"
（Currently, in Japanese only）
This is exhibition will introduce Japanese literature dating from ancient times until the early Meiji period through documents. Although recent research trends are taken into consideration, the history of the literature is presented with a focus on works that are often included in school textbooks. Visitors can enjoy various aspects of pre-modern literature through the features of manuscripts and the feelings imparted by printed materials. This exhibition also includes a special section of recent additions to our institute’s collection.
We utilize the unique features of the web, allowing you to survey what kinds of documents have been created throughout different eras and browse through digital images of books page by page.
