The Donald Keene and the Tale of Genji Exhibition is currently being held in Kita Ward, Tokyo, where the late Donald Keene, who introduced Japanese literature to the world, lived for nearly half a century.
The first venue, with the theme of “classical and modern”, is the observation gallery on the 17th floor of Hokutopia near JR Oji stations. As there are no tall buildings around, you can enjoy a panoramic view of Tokyo from this observatory. The second venue, Asukayama Museum, is about 10-minute walk away and has an exhibition with the theme of “The Tale of Genji in the World.”
Both venues will be open until November 24, and admission is free. The first venue is open from 8:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. and is open every day during the exhibition period. The second venue is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and is closed on Mondays except for October 14 and November 4.
