Tūranga

Some photos from a visit the other day to the recently opened Christchurch central library, called Tūranga. Christchurch has been without a proper central library since the 2011 earthquake, so it's good to see this up and running. It's a beautiful space, full of light and with lots of wood used inside. It's also in a great location on the edge of Cathedral Square. Though they don't seem to have a lot of books on Japan (considerably less than in the old central library, if my memory serves me correctly), they did have one that I've been keen to read for sometime: Walking the Kiso Road by William Scott Wilson.
