Tenri University
Tenri Central Library (天理大学附属天理図書館 "Tenri Daigaku Fuzoku Tenri Toshokan") is the library of Tenri University. It has notably extensive collections in antiquarian material, including original manuscripts from 13th-century Japan, and artifacts of European exploration and early visits to Japan. Dating to 1926, the library predates the university itself. It has its origins in the private collection of the family of the foundress of Tenrikyo, Oyasama.
