Hosa Library is an open archive where excellent Japanese and Chinese classics originally owned by the Owari Tokugawa family are stored. In the reading room, the library's collection of books is available, a portion of which can be copied. Exhibitions to introduce early-modern samurai culture including the knowledge and culture of samurai families are held. In addition, temporary lectures are held in cooperation with Tokugawa Art Museum or Tokugawaen. The new building was opened in November 2004.
