The Japan Braille Library is located close to our shared office. Kazuo Honma established the Japan Braille Library in 1940 as a library for the visually impaired. Today, besides Braille books, the library offers many other services, including free lending of recorded books and magazines and an internet distribution service. In addition, the Asian Library for the Blind Cooperation Project provides a rich supply of Braille books to the visually impaired in the Asian region.
