The city of Tono in Iwate Prefecture plans to open this children’s library with support from internationally renowned architect Tadao Ando to mark the 10th anniversary of the Great East Japan Earthquake that shook the Tohoku area in March 2011*.

The 6-book illustrated series of “Anzeh Azeeza” written by Karen Asfour, and the illustrated novel telling the inspiring story of Jordanian mountaineer MOSTAFA Salameh “Everest Adventure: Fulfilling The Dream” were donated to “Tono Children’s Book Forest”. The library is scheduled to open in July, 2021.

World renowned architect Tadao Ando is collaborating with Iwate city to build children’s library marking earthquake anniversary.*

*The 2011 Tōhoku earthquake was the most powerful earthquake ever recorded in Japan, and the fourth most powerful earthquake in the world since modern record-keeping began in 1900.
