Later it was also called the VIP Room, becoming solely for the use of special guests and off-limits to ordinary users. In 1963, when the Library was completely renovated, the room was opened to the public and renamed the Free Reading Room, later changed to its current name, the Western Journal Reading Room. It is known that Shigeru Nanbara, the dean (later University president) of the Faculty of Law, came to this room in 1945 with six other professors in the Faculty to lobby the Japanese government to end the War. The stuffed deer head on the wall was a gift from King George V of Britain in 1913. To the right is a portrait of Tagore, the Indian poet and thinker, and on the left is the calligraphy piece “Nankibunko,” drawn by Yoshinobu Tokugawa. The Nankibunko collection comprises a set of about 100,000 books originally owned by the Tokugawa family in the Kishu (Wakayama) area that was given to the Library, which lost many of its books in the Great Kanto Earthquake. With the new library building plan currently in the works, changes are in store for this room once again. This room, with its long history and tradition, is going to be rechristened the Memorial Room, receiving the same name it had when it was first established; additional plans are to also use it as a venue for lectures and other events. As soon as the work is completed, you are welcome to come and sample 90 years of accumulated knowledge at the University of Tokyo General Library. * The Japanese version of this text was originally printed in Tansei 33 (Japanese language only).    - Tansei 18 - Tansei 18 Inside Cover and Credits An Autumn Humanities “Festival” An Autumn Humanities “Festival” Discussion The Humanities, Visualized Humanities and UTokyo French Literature Cultural Resources Studies Japanese Political and Diplomatic History The History of American Politics and Diplomacy Social Sciences of Hope Early Modern Japanese History Research on Goethe Modern English Studies Manufacturing (Monozukuri) Management Studies Contemporary Islamic Studies Musicology Tojisha-Kenkyu Collections and Giants Humanities Collections, Part 1 Humanities Collections, Part 2 Legendary Giants Campus Walk Asano Campus Back Cover The Western Journal Reading Room --> Tweet Inquiries about the content of this page: Public Relations GroupSend inquiry Social media directory Disseminating information for UTokyo during disasters Site map Site policy Privacy policy Jobs UTokyo Portal utelecon Frequently asked questions This website is managed by the Public Relations Office.
