Over the past few years the National Diet Library in Tokyo
has digitized a large amount of prewar materials. Most are
in Japanese, and a few in Chinese. Many are available

buy an airline ticket to Tokyo. An increasingly important
resource.

1940s. No other newspaper existed over such an extended
period, and covers it in such incredible depth and variety.

The project brings treasures from the NPM collection to you
using websites offering thematic introductions. These
thematic websites all provide a full array of visual and
textual materials on artworks as well as various functions

greater study and research benefits as well as reach the
goal of digitized educational and promotional efforts.
