国際文学館（村上春樹ライブラリー）提供
A single book can lead to an unexpected connection.
Even if we have books we love, we don’t often get the chance to sit down and talk about them with others.
So we’re hosting an evening just for that at the Haruki Murakami Library.
The night begins with a special guided tour of the library.
As you walk through the space, you’ll learn how it was created and hear the stories behind its unique architecture.
It’s a rare chance to experience the library in this way.
After the tour, you’ll try a book-themed crossword puzzle.
Sharing clues, searching for books, and solving the puzzle together will help conversations flow naturally.
Then comes a moment to share “your special book.”
In this calm space surrounded by books, you may discover someone else’s favorite read and perhaps even something new about your own tastes.
Whether you love reading, haven’t had much time to read lately, or have simply wanted to visit the Murakami Library, you’re very welcome.
Even if you’re not familiar with Haruki Murakami, you’ll still enjoy the evening.
