A library specializing in haiku books was completed in Hyakunincho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo in 1977 at the initiative of the Haiku Poet Association.[3] The main purpose is to collect, preserve, display, and view materials related to haiku. The building has four floors above ground and three below ground, with the Haiku Poet Association's office on the first and second floors. As of 2011, the library's collection includes over 54,000 haiku collections and 331,000 haiku magazines.
