Book Display: Incense in Traditional Asia

UBC Asian Library is pleased to announce our latest exhibit: a compact yet captivating book display centered on the traditions of incense and incense ceremonies in Japan and its neighbouring countries. This exhibit invites you to explore the cultural significance and historical evolution of incense and its use in these regions. The diverse array of books showcases ceremonial utensils and accessories in their artistic splendour, various types of incense burners from across Asia, and the aesthetics of the incense ceremony as depicted in Japanese literary works, among other topics.

This exhibit will be available from August 1-30, 2024.

If you are interested in the Japanese incense ceremony, don’t miss the free UBC Asian Studies event titled “The Incense Ceremony in Traditional Japan,” scheduled for Thursday August 15, 2024, 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm at Asian Centre Auditorium.

Discover the New Seed Lending Library at Asian Library

Now is a good time to plant! Come get some seeds for your garden or a windowsill pot at the Seed Lending Library, newly opened in Asian Library.

The process is simple:

  1. “Sign out” seeds by writing the date, your name, and which seeds you are taking in the Visitor’s Log
  2. Take the seeds with you to plant and grow.
  3. When your plants have grown and you have harvested them, please save some seeds to bring back to us, “returning” the seeds for the next user.

Anyone can borrow the seeds and you do not need to have a UBC Library Card.

Asian Library is UBC Library’s fourth seed lending library location. Each branch location has slightly different seeds. Asian Library’s seeds include Bok Choy, Cilantro, and many more.

Find out more about seed lending libraries, the other branch locations, saving seeds, etc., here.
