Autumn Antiquarian Book Fair 2013

October 28, 2013 By Michael Lambe Leave a Comment

Autumn Books

Kyoto’s annual Autumn Antiquarian Book Fair starts Thursday at Chion-ji Temple just a stone’s throw away from the Hyakumanben intersection. Though the majority of the books available (about 200,000 in all) are Japanese, there are always some English books available, as well as art books and ukiyo-e prints etc. The grounds of the temple are also a very peaceful and pleasant location in which to browse for bargains.

Dates: October 31 – November 4
Location: Chion-ji Temple
Time: 10 am to 5 pm
Access: Chion-ji Temple is on the north side of Imadegawa opposite Kyoto University. It’s a ten minutes walk east of Keihan Demachiyanagi Station, or 3 minutes from the Hyakumanben bus stop. (map)

This is one of three annual used book fairs held in Kyoto (I have written about this year’s summer sale here). The book fairs for 2014 are scheduled as follows:
May 1 – 5 Spring Book Sale
August 11 – 16 Summer Antiquarian Book Fair
October 30 – November 3 – Autumn Antiquarian Book Fair
