[Ueno] "What Remains, What Revives: Seeing, Reading, Listening — The Shape of Modern Japanese Culture" on November 11 at the International Library of Children's Literature
Overview
The event "What Remains, What Revives: Seeing, Reading, Listening — The Shape of Modern Japanese Culture" will be held on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, at the International Library of Children's Literature in the Ueno area. It is hosted by the International Library of Children's Literature.
The title sets out three verbs, "seeing," "reading" and "listening," alongside its theme, "the shape of modern Japanese culture." With the added phrase "What Remains, What Revives," the program appears to look at modern Japanese culture from several perspectives.
The event is open to the general public. The International Library of Children's Literature is known as a facility for children, but adults can attend this event too. It fits easily into a day of exploring culture in Ueno.
Capacity is 80 people, with advance registration required on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration is open now and may close once the event is full, so if you are thinking of attending, register early.
The event runs for one day only, November 11. Why not spend some time this autumn in Ueno reflecting on modern Japanese culture?
