As part of the "Partir en livres" program whose theme for this summer is "Our Heroes, Big and Small", let's discover how a young slave freed himself from slavery on the African coast and became a samurai thanks to the friendship of his lord. After looking at the samurai objects in the permanent exhibition, let's discover Yasuke's story in the music room of the library. The visit ends by listening to the "Ballad of the Samurai".
