The Independent Administrative Institution National Institutes for Cultural Heritage Tokyo National Research Institute for Cultural Properties (Tobunken) provides open access databases for public use. We are continuing to develop not only the library catalogues and archival material databases, but research specific databases created by each of our departments that would allow invaluable research information for cultural property research to be shared by many.
