JAPANESE collections AT UBC LIBRARIES A retrospective OVERVIEW 195920021959 2002 tsuneharutsuneharaTsuneharu honnamiGongonnamigonnarninaminaininarni asian library university of british columbia speaking of japanese collections housed in the university of british columbia UBC in addition to the main japanese collection of the asian library there are also several unique japanese collections scattered at branch libraries on the UBC campus such as the japanese law collection the japanese school textbook collection japanese materials in the fine arts collection the tokugawa map collection and the japanese canadian archives let me report first on the development of our main japanese collection kept by the asian library and then afterward about each of the other special collections housed by the UBC main and branch libraries after that I1 shall also mention extended research projects such as building up the japanese canadian archives preservation projects ofrare materials writing book reviews organizingparticipatingorganizing participating in library conferences and participating in multimultidisciplinarydisciplinary symposiums involving scholars and librarians in the field of japanese studies the japanese collection at UBC began in 1959 when the UBC library became the canadian depository centre for japanese government publications JGP 1 the publications came to UBC as one of fifteen depository libraries of JGP in the world as designated by the library NDL in 1956 professor ronald dore a prominent british sociologist then a faculty member of the asian studies department at UBC began his efforts to initiate the establishment of a depository relationship with NDL later it developed officially into the international gift and exchange program of canadian and japanese government publications between the national library of ottawa and the national diet library in 1958 an official agreement for an international exchange project of the two governments publications was reached by the governments of canada and their two national libraries and UBC library the following librarians made major contributions to finalize this international cooperative library project W kaye lamb then national librarian NLC neal harlow then university librarian UBC library tokujiro kanamori then national librarian NDL and T ichikawa then director division of international affairs NDL in july 1958 the NLC granted the status of full depository library for canadian federal government publications to the NDL in august 1958 the UBC library was nominated by the NLC as a depository for publications of the japanese central government on behalf of them and was officially approved by the NDL in north america the UBC library in canada and the library of congress in the USA are the only two such full depository libraries of japanese government publications the reason why the UBC was then assigned to receive the shipment from NDL was that UBC already had established japanese study courses in the 1950s and there were actually users ofjapanese government publications not only on the UBC campus but also in pan pacific business circles in BC as well as in the japanese canadian communities in western provinces of canada on the other hand in 1958 in the eastern canadian provinces such as ontario and quebec the potential users for japanese materials were very limited in number

this article is the revision of a paper originally delivered by the author at his retirement lecture on may 31 2002 to japanese studies faculty members at the university of british columbia as one of the lecture series of the year of japan under the auspices of the centre for japanese research UBC the lecture has been revised and edited for publication in the journal ofeastof east asian libraries

51 the national library of canada being fully aware of such facts appointed the UBC library as the receiver ofjapanese government publications according to the abovementionedabove mentioned reciprocal agreement all the publications published by the federal government of canada have been shipped directly from the queens printer government printing office in ottawa to the national diet library tokyo since 1959 in march 1959 the first shipment ofofjgpJGP from NDL consisting of 332 volumes arrived at the UBC library reflecting economic reliance on japan in pan pacific trade both the government and private sectors in canada feel the need to acquire current information particularly that available in japanese government publications the greatest demands for information in canada fall into the areas of 1 national economics 2 industry commerce and foreign trade and 3 research and development thanks to dr dores farsightedfar sighted initiative the UBC japanese collection has been developed with rich social science materials composed of japanese central governments annual reports statistics census white papers etc since these government publications represent the present national status of japan they are indispensable research resources for contemporary japanese studies in social sciences 90 of the annual acquisition ofofjgpJGP are serial publications 10 are monographs our holdings of post 1964 serials are particularly good although some sets are incomplete among serial publications bilingual materials printed in japanese and english are most useful for our library users generally speaking we receive about 65 out of the total number of the publications published by the japanese government and its agencies this is a good acquisition percentage for a depository library none of the fifteen world wide depository libraries has received 100 ofthe japanese government publications 2 we also receive gifts ofbooks and periodicals from the consulate general of japan in vancouver BC they have kindly sent us regularly their serials nihon gaiko benshobunsho documents on japanese foreign policy 3 galkagaiko foramiforamuf6ramu forum on foreign affairs 4andband4 and english jjournalsournalsjournals such as asia 5 6 7 pacific perspectives japan echo and look japanmapanjapansjapan7 on behalfof the asian library I1 would like to express our sincere appreciation to the honourableHonourable toshiro ozawa consul general of japan in vancouver BC for his generous donation to and continuous support of our japanese collection and its needs

I1 should like to highlight the following noteworthy facts of the japanese collection in 1960 the former private collections about 300 volumes of two prominent british and canadian japanologists sir george sansom and dr herbert norman were added to the UBC japanese collections in 1961 the japanese books about 400 volumes of the institute of pacific relations library were also transferred to the UBC japanese collection thirty three years ago first world exposition was held in sanyo corporation a leading manufacturer of japanese household appliances built its pavilion in order to display its products in ekpoexpo 70 when the late shotaro lida then a professor of buddhism at the UBCLTBC religious studies department saw the pavilion he was much impressed with its simple beauty its roof is reminiscent of the thatched roofs of some traditional large japanese farm houses he was so taken with it that he began directly negotiating with the sanyo corporation for a possible donation of their pavilion to UBC his great efforts successfully bore fruit in 19819811 when the sanyo ekpoexpo 70 pavilion was rebuiltre built as the asian centre under the joint patronage of sanyo the three governments of british columbia canada and japan as well as of other private bodies such as konwakaiKonwakai japanese businessmensBusinessmens association in vancouver BC keidanrenKeidanren japan federation of economic organizations and the ekpoexpo 70 association the asian centre accommodates the asian studies department a music hall a tea art gallery a combination of a tea ceremony room and a fine arts exhibition room a multipurposemulti purpose auditorium for conferences and arts exhibitions and the asian library with the establishing of the asian centre the japanese

52 collection in the UBC main library was moved to the new centre and the asian library was officially established as one of UBC branch libraries the japanese collection has grown from merely a thousand volumes in 1960611960 61 to approximately 140000 volumes as of 2002 the subject coverage of the collection is comprehensive in the humanities and social sciences this solidly supports teaching and research in many subjects of japanese studies at UBC the subject distribution of the collection as of may 2002 is as follows materials on literature 25 history and geography 23 economics commerce political science law and sociology 23 religion fine arts and education 15 science and technology 8 and general works 6 As a collection development policy I1 as japanese librarian particularly paid attention to balancing the japanese collection at UBC between the two categories of humanities and social sciences As at any other east asian library book requests of the UBC students and faculty are usually greater for humanities materials than for social sciences materials our official status as a full depository library of the japanese government publications JGP designated by the national diet library tokyo played an important stabilizing role in my course of collection development of our japanese collection in that it provided the main component of rich social sciences materials of JGP with this depository status we are very aware of the obligation to make these publications available to canadian users of the responsibility to maintain the collection in good order and to provide information requested by government private and academic sectors across canada as efficiently as possible in this new millennium the japanese collection is expected to continue to expand to support the curriculum in asia pacific rim studies particularly in the social sciences fields ofbusiness economics political science sociology and so on the graduate course for master ofarts in asia pacific policy studies MAPPS was established in 2000 by the institute of asian research UBC

As I1 mentioned in the beginning some unique japanese collections are kept by other branch libraries at UBC as well for example the law library keeps all sorts of japanese law books japanese school textbooks are kept by the education library some expensive fine arts books and journals are kept by the fine arts division ofthe UBCLTBC main library and the beans collection oftokugawaoftokugawa maps and the japanese canadian archives are housed in the special collections division main library in 19819811 about 2000 volumes of japanese legal books were moved to the law library in response to a law school request for support for a new japanese legal program the focus of this program has been to develop expertise in japan canada trade and economic relations similarly our education library used to have the japanese elementary and high school textbook collection a few hundred volumes as part of their international textbook collections to support comparative studies in curriculum when the library was called curriculum laboratory in the 1960s and 70s later in thel980s the japanese textbook collection was amalgamated with the main japanese collection of the asian library some fine arts books and journals even though printed in japanese have also been kept by a branch library in this case the fine arts division of the UBC main library because many rich fine arts images such as pictures illustrations and photographs are included they keep some expensive multi volume sets like den shingoninShingonin ry6kairyokairyukai mandara the mandalas of the two worlds8Worlds 8 unkounk6aunko sekkutsu yun kang the buddhist cave temples 9 kakuhokokuhokokuh6 national treasures of japan 10 for the same reason andor the added value of text in english and japanese with english captions legends and summaries a complete run no 118891 18 8 9 present of a prominent japanese fine arts jjournalournalburnal

japans modemmodern state started in 1867 the same year as the birth of the dominion of canada under the emperor 185219121852 1912 it was the meiji restoration that

54 eventually led to japanese emigration to north america essentially to escape the shackles ofpoverty under the national seclusion policy 163918541639163 9189 18185454 adopted by the tokugawa shogunate 160318671603 1867 this national seclusion policy was formally brought to an end by the ansei commercial treaty of 1858 japan with the USA russia holland britain and which endorsement was ordered bybynaosukenaosuke liii 181518601815 1860 chief councilor for the tokugawa shogunate lord ofhikonehikonoofhikone domain without imperial official permission and suppressed those who opposed his move to open the 250 years closed doors of japan to the world the series of political social and economic changes provoked by anti shogunate forces resulted in the formal return of political power from the tokugawa shogunate to the emperor in 1867 after the national seclusion the first year ofofmeijimeiji 1868 marked the beginning of emigration for the japanese hiin that year the first group of emigrants gannengumi left japan to work on sugar cane plantations in hawaii

two distinct groups ofjapanese immigrants to canada have emigrated from the following particular geographical areas in japan hikonehikono city in shiga prefecture and around mio village in wakayama prefecture immigrants from shiga consisted mainly of merchants service personnel contractors foremen and farmers and formed the largest group about 30 among the japanese communities in BC wakayama people were the second largest group about 25 predominantly fishermen concentrated in the fishing village ofsteveltonstevestonofstevestonSteveston BC in 1985 naokichinaomichiNaomichi nishimura then a retired public librarian and former director of the hikonehikono public library shiga prefecture came to visit the UBC main library in order to check back files of a few japanese canadian newspapers as part ofhis private research on japanese immigrants to canada at that time he used mainly tairiku nippo the continental daily news 1908194190819411908 19419411 and observed that its physical condition was badly deteriorated he felt it required some preservation work as soon as possible this led nishimura to present the UBC library with a generous cash donation on his return visit in may 1987 making the microfilm edition of tairiku nippanipponoppa the continental daily news possible his gift was timely and is beneficial to the people of both canada and japan his donation reflects his wishes for promoting friendship between canada and japan considering the historically interesting relationship between vancouver british columbia and hikonehikono city shiga prefecture we believe that the late nishimura sans thoughtful gift to UBC library enhances the academic and community exchanges between canada and japan 22 our first preservation project was successful and resulted in full cost recovery which enabled us to undertake a second microfilm projectproject23projeet2323 on the two rival japanese canadian newspapers tairikuoftairikuof nipponeppanoppa the continental daily news24 ie kanada shinbunshinjun the canada daily news and fikkannikkan 25 minshu the daily people for 1941 in order to obtain unbiased information regarding the japanese community in prewar days norman amor preservation microfilmingMicrofilming librarian at UBC library provides details on how these newspapers and other japanese canadian archival collections were filmed to modem preservation microfilmingmicrofilming standards and also has pointed out the importance of preservation work in his introductory article library preservation and japanese canadian heritage in kanada iminshiiminski shiryo historical materials of japanese immigration to canada supplement microfilmingMicrofilming of japanese canadian materials started in 1987 with the reproduction of tairiku nippanipponeppa the continental daily news for 190819411908 1941 on microformmicro form in sixty eight reels we also made the microfilm editions of kanada shinbunshinjun the canada daily news and fikkannikkan minshuminsha the daily people for 1941 in one reel each in 1994 and further produced in 1999 the new canadian in four

55 reels as well as in 1996 japanese canadian archives on microfilm in nineteen reels in response to a request of the national diet library of japan tokyo upon written request these are all available for purchase from UBC library preservation office all these japjapaneseanese canadian newspapers were composed of a mixture of current domestic news from japan and articles on daily social and political events in Vancouvancouversvers japan town in particular sports news on the asahi team warranted a long article occupying almost 14 of the front page the box scores were in the paper for every reader to see more than anything else the asahi team was a focal point the pride of japan town in vancouver

when asahi had a game in oppenheimer park at powell street and dunlevy avenue spectators packed the dusty baseball field and cheered lustily at the fine plays and even more loudly when an asahi player got a hit the asahi was a light hitting team and relied on speed and defence in their games with the bigger canadian players did asahi get a win today whats their score were the usual questions at the dinner table in a japanese home the asahi team playing in powell grounds was a common subject in conversations between the issei and the nisei the first and second generations of japanese immigrants the former read japanese newspapers and the latter read english ones therefore it was usually very difficult to have a fruitful conversation between them roy ito a nisei veteran in hamilton ontario described how the asahi team contributed towards narrowing the communication gap between issei fathers and niseinisel sons based upon his own experience in his book entitled stories ofayofmyof my peoplepeople2727 in this sense asahi played an important role in resolving the generation gap pat adachi in etobicoke ontario also wrote a beautiful book28 about the asahi basefallbaseballBasefall team depicting each of the players as well as their many games vividly love of the asahisanahis game helped people in little tokyo along powell street to forget their everyday hardships the superb play and good sportsmanship demonstrated by the asahi team members also brought mutual respect and a sense of goodwill between them and rival canadian players as well as among full house spectators through the asahi ball club the japanese in the province of british columbia were more favourfavourablyably accepted and assimilated more quickly into canadian society with more self assurance thus the asahi baseball team for these reasons will Q always remain in fondest memories 29 ken kutsukakekutsukake3030 second cousin ofoflynneorlynnelynne kutsukake cataloguingCatalo guing head at the cheng yu tung east asian library ofthe university of toronto was catcher and one of the star players of the asahi baseball club at vancouver BC he also appeared in a recently produced documentary film about 31 the club by the national film board of canada entitled sleeping tigers the asahi baseball story in this film award winning director jari osborne skillfully weaves archival documentary film and dramatic recreations along with candid interviews with the last few surviving members of the asahi kutsukake and others to revive this remarkable story faced with hardship and isolation during the pacific war period the former asahi members the asahi team had to be disbanded because ofthe outbreak of the war survived by playing baseball with local canadian people at their relocation camps their passion for this quintessential north american heritage game soon attracted other canadian players including the royal canadian mounted police RCMP and local townspeople and the baseball games helped to break down racial and cultural barriers in canadian society even nowadays the great plays ofoflchiroichiro suzuki of the seattle Mamarinersmarineroriners hideki matsui of the new york yankees and hideo nomo of the los angeles dodgers have very much impressed many north american baseball fans and it has played an important role for creating mutual respect and making good neighborhood exchange relationships between peoples on both sides of the pacific ocean baseball has a strong fascinating function ofbonding different people together beyond cultural

56 barriers as the above cases witness regardless of whether it is amateur or professional leagues ken kutsukake was invited to a major league game between the toronto blue jays and the seattle Mamarinersmarineroriners on may 15 2002 mickey daikawamaikawa threw the first pitch and utsukakeKkutsukakeutsukake caught the opening ceremonial ball in this game at the toronto skye dome home of the two time major league world series champions he also was inducted into the canadian baseball hall of fame in st marys ontario on june 28 2003 because of his distinguished contribution to the pacific northwest baseball league in prewar days aside from these microfilmingmicrofilming projects as another type of preservation project UBC also has successfully reproduced from 1995 to 2001 sixteen old rare volumes of japanese canadian history books under the series titles kanada iminshiiminski1minshi shiry6shiryo historical materials of japaneseofdapanese immigration to canada vols iiiili1111 11 and supplement jointly with toshiji sasaki sociology professor of ritsumeikan university and fuji publishing tokyo 32 the purpose of this reproduction project is to protect our published heritage and to make it available to the scholarly community and to the general public as one alternative way among many other technically possible preservations methods the volumes selected for these series reflect the dynamic articulate community of japanese canadians in british columbia and their broad subject coverage is remarkable this international cooperative preservation project is one of a few good examples of forming a trinity a scholar librarians and a publisher working together in a collaborative and interdisciplinary manner to reproduce historically valuable books mostly published in canada on japanese immigrants in canada the production of this series reflects the spirit of canadian multiculturalism and japanese internationalism inm this context this project also reflects the following strategic vision ofUBC library

the UBC library will be a provincial national and international leader in the development provision and delivery of outstanding information resources and services that are essential to learning research and the creation of knowledge at UBC and beyond 33

As is clear from what I1 have mentioned up to here a librarians role is not limited to daily duties of collection development reference services and technical processing work but also covers extended research projects such as preservation projectsprojects3434 compiling book catalcataloguescataloguerogues 35 serial lists 36 and bibliographiesbibliographies3737 writing library paperspapers38vapers3838 and book reviewsreviews3939 translatingtranslating4translating40404 assessment of another institutions japanese collection cooperating on interlibraryinter library projectsprojects4242 organizing and participating in library conferencesconferences4343 and participating in multidisciplinarymulti disciplinary symposiums 44 for further information please see the references noted limited space in this paper does not permit me to discuss all of the various types ofprojects mentioned above but the examples discussed in the following paragraphs will serve to illustrate such activities from time to time I1 have been asked to write a book review by the editorial office of pacific affairs a prominent international academic journal specializing in asian studies located at UBC inm 1999199911 reviewed area bibliography ofofdapanjapan which deals with books published mainly in english from 45 1980 to 1998 on a broad ranizerange of subsubjectsectsacts related to japan it is a welcome addition to any library and is a useful reference tool to most western readers who are looking for a variety of information available in english with regard to japan and her people and culture however it misses many essential titles written by canadian authors andor on canadian subjects relating to japan I1 list a few examples by category archaeology richard J pearson ancient japan new york G braziller 1992

in may 1984 the institute of asian research and the department of asian studies at UBC jointly held a big japanese studies conference commemorating the life of the late dr inazoigazo nitobemitobe 186219331862 1933 dr nitobemitobe was an international pacifist in whose memory norman AM mackenzie a former president ofUBC and a good colleague of nitobemitobe at the league of nations in built a japanese garden located behind the asian centre at UBC the funding for this conference was provided by the late hon masayoshi ohira a former prime minister of japan who donated a research grant to UBC in nitobesNitobes memory altogether ten sessions including a plenary and nine specialized ones were organized by UBC japanologists I1 was asked by the conference secretariat to organize a panel on japanese librarianship inviting distinguished japanese librarians and scholars such as ryoko toyama then columbia university and emiko moffitt then hoover institution as well as masanobu fujikawa then president of the university of library and information science at tsukubatsukuda and kimio hosono then director of the school of library and information science at keio university the library meeting was very successful and after the conference I1 edited and published 46 the conference proceedings the mainmaln theme of the library panel was automation looking back from today everything looks archaic but each panelist presented his or her then most up to date knowledge on the mechanization of the circulation system processing japanese library resources the

58 production of machine readable cataloguercataloguescatalogues and so on we believe that this library panel threw a stone in the pond to stimulate the progress of automated systems of managing japanese library resources in north america in the mid 1980s even the library of congress at the time had just begun to implement their automated system of processing chinese japanese korean materials in 1984 multimultidisciplinarydisciplinary symposiums to which I1 was invited to present library papers on japanese collections housed at UBCLJBC are as follows

59 modern transformationtransformationstransformation5545 by john K fairbankfailfallfali bank edwin 0 reischauer and albert M craig published in 1964 does not even include norman in its suggested bibliography 55 it was a sad cold war chapter on politicized american scholarship on the study of japan As a librarian I1 regret to have learned that such censorship of an academic work ever happened in a democratic country in north america in canada Nonnonnantnonnansnormansnans book has been highly valued in academic circles hiin the late 1950s UBC invited norman to be the first head of the newly established asian studies department however norman chose to stay with the canadian diplomatic service until his suicide in cairo on april 4 1957 after a period of recurrent pressure from the US senate judiciary subcommittee on internal security because of his academic interest in marxism and his student movements during his college days in the 1930s masao maruyama political science professor of the one ofnonnormansnans closet friends in japan wrote a moving eulogy entitled an affection for the lesser names which was beautifully translated into english by ronald dore then sociology professor at UBC and appeared in pacific affairsaffairs5656 in his service as canadian ambassador to egypt under lester B pearson then secretary of state for external affairs later prime minister of canada norman played a key role in canadas international peacemakingpeace making during the suez crisis when egypt seized the suez canal france great britain and israel invaded that country in october 1956 canada stepped in to mediate the crisis and pearson made a proposal to the united nations to set up an emergency UN force for ending the fighting and supervising a ceasefirecease fire along the suez canal under pearson norman was the chief designer for this peace proposal for this contribution by canada pearson was awarded the nobel peace prize in october 1957 this effort to make the world a better place represented the beginning of canadas peace building activity in world conflicts and since that time to the present day canada has been recognized as an international peacemakerpeace maker and peace keeper with all ofherbert normans superb diplomatic achievements as well as academic talents there was something haunting him and following him to every comer of the globe the accusation that he was a soviet sympathizer when the cold war was heating up and the mere accusation of communist sympathies could destroy a remarkable mans career later the government of canada gave him an official examination and declared that he was completely loyal to canada 57 in the late 1950s the american congressional witch hunters led by senator joseph R mccarthy instigator ofmccarthyismofmccarthyismMcCarthyism and the US senate judiciary subcommittee on internal security were busy destroying the institute of pacific relations in a futile quest to find influential communist spies 58 IPR was an international governmentalnongovernmentalnon organization founded in 1925 to facilitate the scientific study of the peoples of the pan pacific region it was composed ofnational councils in the following eleven countries australia canada china france japan netherlands east indies new zealand the philippines UK USA and the USSR its international secretariat was first established in honolulu 1925 and later relocated in 1934 to new york IPR was dissolved in 1960 two decades earlier in 1940 when william holland originally from new zealand was staying in tokyo as head of the tokyo branch of the IPR he had persuaded norman to let him publish normans doctoral thesis japans emergence as a modern state when holland secretary general of IPR 1946601946 60 was invited to UBC by then president norman A R mackenzie to become the first head of the asian studies department in 1961 he also brought to UBC the IPR library and the publishing remnants of IPR including the asian journal pacificpacijic affairs 59 which later became the nucleus of the UBC press as a back list when it started in 1971 and the press has been developing by itself since then at present pacific affairs and the UBC press are independent from each other organizationally although they have a close relationship in terms of academic publication holland was affiliated with the IPR since 1929 edited pacific affairs in 1942 and then in 1954 took the helm and guided the journal through the mccarthy period and relocated to UBC in 1961 bybythetimehethe time he

60 retired from the editorship pacificofofpacific affairs in 1978 he had established this academic journal as the fine publication we still see today the outlet of and the resource for advanced scholarly research on contemporary issues of asia and pan pacific regions although witch hunters destroyed herbert norman they were less successful with william holland to UBCs lasting benefit

I1 did not have the privilege of meeting with herbert norman but as a custodian ofnormans collection ofjapanese books at the asian library at UBC I1 feel that I1 have been associated with him in my daily work since 1969 As I1 mentioned in the beginning part of this paper our library received in 1961 a bequest ofbooks from the estate of the late EH norman courtesy of his widow irene norman the gift included about two hundred books on japan and about 450 unbound back issues ofperiodicals in english and japanese about half of them were in japanese the main library houses the english materials of this gift and the asian library keeps the japanese books and journals the gift made a strong contribution to the quality and quantity of the library collection in its early days As a custodian ofnormans collection I1 have become acquainted with many writers researchers and scholars one of writers is miyoko kudo an established nonfiction writer author of over twenty books who lived in vancouver in the 1970s and 1980s and wrote a well researched book about norman entitled hidekihigeki no gaigaik6kangaikokankokan hdbdto nomannaman no shagal the tragedy of a 60 diplomat the life of herbert Normannorman60 published in 1991 one of the researchers I1 have met is toshiko nakano who wrote two books on norman when she wrote her first book H namannoman aru demokuratto no talottatadotta anmeiunmei H norman the fate of one democratdemocrat6161 in 1990 she asked me to forward a copy of her book to normans widow irene norman who resides in ottawa I1 sent it to her with a cover letter in which I1 mentioned it is always nice to see a good book like this written with fond memories ofdr herbert norman as well as great appreciation for his dedication in building a friendship bridge between canada and japan nakanosNakanos second book was a translation of sixty official dispatches housed in the national archives of canada ottawa that norman sent from tokyo to ottawa from august 1946 to december 1948 the translated book was published in 1997 as nihon senry6henryosenryo no kiroku 1946481946 48 EH norman reports from occupied japan from 1946 to 1948 6261 one of the scholars I1 have become acquainted with through the norman donation is roger bowen a phd graduate of UBC and an authority on the study of herbert norman and recently president of the state university ofnew york at new paltz over two decades ago he inquired of me about japanese books that had belonged to norman responding to his inquiry I1 found about one hundred japanese books about 80 percent japanese history 10 percent japanese economics and 10 percent japanese law and politics this search motivated me to compile a listlist6363 of gift books from the norman family I1 sent the list to bowen with my note reading 1I can assure you that this list forms the core materials of normans private collection of japanese books judging from the heavily used condition and a lot of notes and comments jotted on pages and margins ofmany ofthese books bowen wrote me a thank you letter in february 1979 saying 1I am certain that other scholars also will in the future benefit from your labourslaboure in compiling this list As a custodian ofnormans japanese books if my list is useful to anyone who is doing research on herbert norman it gives me great pleasure both the book collection and paper archives have appeal and value for scholars researchers and students of japan therefore if they would examine books from normans private collection more carefully I1 am sure that they could attain more in depth appreciation ofnormans work than would otherwise be possible the books cover such fields as japanese history political science socioeconomicssocio economics and international relations roger bowen later published a book entitled innocence is not enough the life and death ofherbertof herbert norman 64 the aforementioned nfbtoyota documentary on norman the man who might have been is essentially based on this book before the film was completed in 1998 bowen tried to obtain 40 year old documents on norman from the US central intelligence

61 agency CIA under the freedom of information act according to the canadian national newspaper but failed to gain release of them 65 A prominent japanese cultural and political critic shuichi kato fonnerformer director of the tokyo metropolitan central library and also formerly visiting professor at UBC berlin free university and other institutions comments in his recent book hdbdto namannoman hito to gy6sekigyoseki herbert norman his personality and achievements that the primary reason norman was a target ofmccarthyismofmccarthyismMcCarthyism was because he completely denied what was at that time the manichaeism radical dualism of american mainstream thought ie blackevilcommunism and whitegoodcapitalism norman insisted that there must be a possible grey zone or mixed philosophy of black and whiteite based upon humanism 66 let me quote the last sentence ofofmasaomasao Marumaruyamasyamas eulogy of norman

and if herbert norman who so loved the good in men and who has such faith in the power of reason to persuade men has ended his short life in the midst of fanaticism and prejudices and intolerance what should we do we who remain behindbehind6767 when norman was invited by keio university tokyo in 1948 as a visiting lecturer to deliver a speech titled persuasion or force the problems of free speech in modem society he concluded his lecture with these words

the world is tired of war and of force not only as between different classes in a nation but as between nations themselves force must give way to persuasion and reason if the world is not to retrogress fatally force is terribly easy to use especially against some unpopular minority in the community it is possible in this way to silence the voice of those whom an impatient government is irked to hear but by so doing the community carries within it embittered and disaffected members the same is true today of relations between great and small nations 68

As we have been witnessing international conflicts taking place in the middle east and west asia at the present days we realize that the world has not changed very much since then when norman was active in the diplomatic services in the 1950s we are still looking for a genuine world concept with a practical new order to be built on multi culturalism and multilateralmultilateralismism for the existencecoexistenceco of multiple peoples concepts with which canada has been experimenting domestically and externally over the past five decades since prime ministers lester B pearson and pierre E trudeau this mosaicism mosaic cultures and mosaic society concepts which canada has been trying to establish has not yet been perfectly completed as of today however we still hope that we will be able to see a light at the end of this long tunnel some day in the future john W dower japanese history professor at MIT who edited origins of the modern japanese state selected writings ofehoceh norman contributed an evaluative essay to the goth anniversary edition japansofjapansof emergence as a modern state in the essay dower reminds readers that it is helpful to keep in mind not merely the humanism that animated so much ofnormans vision but also the manner in which his appreciation of many different japanese reflected his unique upbringing in nagano prefecture as the child ofprotestant missionaries these two distinct early influences are often overlooked when addressing normans mature vision as a scholar where he lived in japan and how he was raised 69 roger bowen says in the same goth anniversary edition norman was a lover of peace and the pursuits ofpeacepeace7070 with deep affection toward lesser known people 7711 As a japanese librarian I1 believe that japans emergence is undoubtedly a classic of modem japanese history and it forever remains a work of importance to scholars and students ofjapanese studies the complete works ofehocehof EH norman in japanese translation edited and translated by the late genji

62 okubo was published in 1989 by iwanamiiwagami shoten in four volumes 72 As yet there has been no complete works of norman published in english okubookubo7373 was a longtimelong time friend ofofehocehEH norman and worked for the canadian embassy in tokyo from the 1950s to the 1980s his translation of normans works is excellent and his analytical interpretation ofnormans writings has been highly evaluated as well normans former private collection of japanese books as well as books by and about norman in japanese are kept by the asian library and E H norman archival materials are housed at the special collections division ofthe UBC main library the norman collection includes among its variety of materials official dispatches personal letters newspaper clippings drafts of his books and articles conference papers lecture notes book reviews and some documents relating to general macarthur SCAP tokyo my experience leads me to conclude that a librarians participation in a multidisciplinarymulti disciplinary symposium can stimulate interest and discussion on several aspects of academic research and study I1 also believe that interdisciplinaryinter disciplinary academic conferences involving scholars and librarians will be able to open new perspectives and many new research fields as well as advancing beyond the boundaries of specialized expertise to reach deeper analysis and broader interpretation of japanese studies in north america what I1 have reported above is the retrospective outline of the development of the various japanese collections at UBC I1 have omitted statistics of our main japanese collection because these figures are available as a part of the CEAL annual statistical report published annually in the february issue of the journal ofeastof east asian libraries

I1 would like to thank the consulate general of japan for their generous assistance in our applications for the annual japan foundations library support program this program has been particularly valuable and important to us as our library budget is always restricted and the international exchange rate has been unfavourable to us I1 also would like to give my sincere thanks to proes matsumoto and nakamura as well as other faculty members of the centre for japanese research UBC forror their kind arrangement to give me this opportunity today to talk about japanese collections at UBC libraries retrospective overview 195920021959 2002 I1 extend my best wishes for continuing development ofthe centre for japanese research and the UBC libraries in the coming years finally I1 would like to express my further appreciation to all the members of the council of east asian libraries for their warm friendship and operationcooperationco given to me during my tenure at the asian library of the university of british columbia for the thirty three years between october 1969 and december 2002 lastly I1 would like to dedicate this little paper to two ofmy mentors prof robert L gitler the first director of the japan library school olsQLSJLS keio university tokyo from 1951 to 1956 I1 was a student in his final class at JLS in 1961 his lifelonglife long motto spirit of challenge inspired me to cross the pacific as an immigrant to canada in 1969 the late anne smith visiting professor from the university of british columbia library taughtcatalo cataloguingguing at JLS 1953541953 54 as the only canadian faculty member among the 21 north americans who taught at JLS in its dawning decade from 1951 to 1961 JLS later developed to become the school of library and information science at keio when SLIS began its masters course in 1967 and further established a phd program in 1976 it was professor smiths canadian spirit of mastery of services that encouraged me in my long tenure at the asian library at UBC
