Opening Knowledge, the “Book Forest”

In the “Book Forest” where you might lose yourself,
guided by curiosity, you discover that one precious book.
Encounters with books open doors to knowledge and the unknown.

The Children’s Book Forest offers a diverse collection of books organized by theme, including picture books, children’s literature, encyclopedias, natural sciences, social sciences, art books, and books in foreign languages.
We arrange books that help children understand the world more broadly and deeply.
This is a library where everyone, from children to adults, with a focus on elementary and junior high school students, can enjoy discovering books.
