Aiming at a society where everyone can read, the Reading Barrier-Free Law was enacted in June 2019.
It is a law that allows everyone, with or without disabilities, to benefit from the text and print culture of reading.
We aim to ensure that people with various disabilities can access the contents of the book in an easy-to-use format.
