Last week, we had a wonderful tour of the Harvard-Yenching Library, the most comprehensive East Asian collection for Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, and Western materials in the United States.

Thank you so much to our colleagues in the Harvard-Yenching Library for the tour and showing us some of your exquisite collections!
