Located in Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture, Japan, there are many modern buildings. Whether it’s the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art or the drum gate at Kanazawa Station, both are very famous examples of modern architectural art. But actually, Kanazawa City also has another very beautiful modern building — the Kanazawa Umimirai Library.

The Kanazawa Umimirai Library has won multiple awards in architecture and interior design, and was rated by a U.S. website as one of “the world’s 25 most beautiful libraries.”
The interior decoration of the library uses a nude color scheme, aiming to create a reading atmosphere with simplicity.
The dots on the exterior walls of the library are not just design elements, but circular windows — a total of 6,000 windows arranged neatly in order.
The interior space of the library is very spacious, with high ceilings that create an open and expansive sense of space.
The natural light coming through the windows allows people inside to feel changes in the outside world, and the interior remains bright enough without needing to turn on the lights.
The space inside the library is spacious, comfortable, and well-lit.
The entire structure is supported by only 25 columns. The high ceilings create an open spatial feel, and the well-organized circulation design ensures that people inside do not feel confused. With a calm mind, one can read peacefully.
