Kyoto Prefectural Library・京都府立図書館

The Kyoto Prefectural Library is one of many western style buildings built at the beginning of the 20th Century that still exist in Kyoto. Opened in 1909, the library sustained damage in the 1995 Hanshin (Kobe) Earthquake. It was completely rebuilt in 2000 while maintaining the original façade. The basement, shown in the lower half of this photo is completely new, and looks out onto a small subterranean garden.

Taken in Kyoto, Japan
