At a large regular bookstore, I found EuroTalk series' Japanese edition. From what I see, the same lady is introducing Pekingnese, Cantonese and Korean(!): different lady introduces several south-Asian languages.

This red is made out of Beni-Bana (rouge plant; actually it's safflower). There is a tiny museum on Yasukuni-dori Street in Kanda-Jinbo-cho area. Worth a visit.

This is Iwanami series, which is equivalent to Penguin series or something, I think. The colour represents categories; green in Japanese literature, pink is Western literature, etc.

There's a huge newly-built glass-and-steel building around the corner of the old one with a PACE flag on its wall. I think this modern one is part of a university.
