Secrets in the Library: Architect Tadao Ando's First Picture Book

At nearly 80 years old, Tadao Ando embarked on his first picture book creation for his new work, the "Children's Book Forest Nakanoshima" library. With the theme of a reading forest, he transforms into a mysterious mushroom-headed uncle, leading a pair of siblings to explore the library and understand the story and meaning of architecture. This picture book, like the building itself, offers children knowledge about architecture from a unique perspective, making it a work that both adults and children can enjoy.
