As reported by Time Out Tokyo, the National Diet Library—Japan’s national library and among the largest libraries in the world—regularly digitizes graphics, photos, and prints from history. These are all works whose copyright has expired, so they have now been released in the public domain to be used for free.
The extensive selection includes textiles for kimonos, ukiyo-e depictions of Japanese spirits called YÅkai, drawings of Japanese desserts, and much, much, more.
