Visit by the Emperor and Empress of Japan
Today the Emperor and Empress of Japan visited UBC Asian Centre, and we had the opportunity to show them three items from UBC Library’s collection. I have listed the works below, for those who are interested.
Ise monogatari utakaruta, a set of late-Edo uta-garuta (poem cards) that we acquired for the Asian Library just this year.
The following two maps, both from Rare Books and Special Collections’ Japanese Maps of the Tokugawa Era collection.
Bankoku Sozu (萬國総図), part a and part b
