About the Library:
The Lisa Sainsbury Library is part of the Sainsbury Institute for the Study of Japanese Arts and Cultures. The Institute, founded in 1999 through the generosity of Sir Robert and Lady Sainsbury, is a prominent academic centre and supports scholars from all over the World thanks to a number of fellowship schemes, lecture series, and other cultural events.
The Library, inaugurated in 2003 by the former Japanese Ambassador Mr Orita Masaki, hosts one of the best collection on Japanese Art in Europe, and it houses books, journals, exhibition catalogues, slides, prints, maps and other materials relating to all aspects of Japanese arts and cultures. The collection comprises general introductory works and key reference materials, as well as specialised materials to support advanced research concerning Japanese applied arts, ceramics, archaeology, material culture, cultural heritage and architecture.
