The International Library of Children's Literature will hold an exhibition "Children's Books Link the World - Hans Christian Andersen Award 2022 & IBBY Honour List 2022."

There are about 200 books on display. For example, the books by the winners of the Hans Christian Andersen Award 2022, the books on the IBBY Honour List, and the Japanese translation of these titles which you can pick up and enjoy reading in this exhibition.

IBBY (International Board on Books for Young People), a non-profit organization which represents an international network of people from all over the world who are committed to bringing books and children together, was founded in 1953.

The Hans Christian Andersen Award is presented biennially to a living author and illustrator, whose complete works have made a lasting contribution to children's books. In 2022, the winner of the author award was Marie-Aude Murail (France) while the illustrator award went to Suzy Lee (Republic of Korea).

The IBBY Honour List is a booklist made biennially by the national sections of IBBY from books recently published in each country. This list consists of three categories: writing, illustration and translation, which represent their national children's books. In 2022, 163 works in 47 different languages were selected from 53 countries. From Japan, Tokujiro to boku (Tokujiro and I) by HANAGATA Mitsuru was selected for writing, Tsukamaeta (Gotcha!) by TASHIMA Seizo was selected for illustration and Kentaurosu no Porosu (Pholus the Centaur. Orig. Italian: Folo, il Centauro by Roberto Piumini)) by NAGANO Toru for translation.
