[Library Network] Kyoto University Rare Materials Digital Archive: 1,067 items from Nakai Collection's Kinri-no-bu newly released
One thousand sixty-seven items from Nakai Collection's Kinri-no-bu have been newly digitized and released. As of February 21, 2020, Digital Archive provides 1,342,116 images of 15,448 titles.
Kinri-no-bu (禁裏之部; Imperial Palace) of Nakai Collection is composed of 1,067 items, including architectural plans of each residence in Kyoto Imperial Palace such as Shishin-den (紫宸殿; Hall for State Ceremonies), Seiryo-den (清涼殿; Emperor's Habitual Residence) and Sento-gosho (仙洞御所; Sento Imperial Palace), drawings of each part of the buildings, ornament and other equipment, and registers of restoration. The variety of records in type and content tells us the essence of Japanese architectural technique that has been passed down in Kyoto Imperial Palace today.
Architectural plans include ground plans, cross-sectional views, elevation views and okoshi-ezu (起こし絵図). Okoshi-ezu has both functions of a building model and architectural plans and is suitable to visualize a small building with complicated components. Carpenters during the Edo period often used this method.
These materials were digitized and released in the digital archive under the Kyoto University President-Selected Project “Digitization and Internet-release of Treasure of Kyoto Kinri-no-bu, Nakai Collection held by the Main Library of Kyoto University”. Large-sized illustrated plans were digitized by using a no-contact, ultra-high resolution scanner. The scanner ran over a plan along the frame set around it, producing strips of digital images, which were then merged into one entire image.

[Library Network] Kyoto University Rare Materials Digital Archive: Physics textbook Dr. Hideki Yukawa used, “Water Margin” Takizawa Bakin read and book of aquatic life in Lake Biwa newly released
Four rare materials held by the Graduate School of Letters, Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics (YITP) and the Center for Ecological Research, Kyoto University (CER) have been newly digitized and released. The digitization has been realized thanks to the support from donors to Kyoto University Rare Materials Digital Archive Fund.
“李卓吾先生批點忠義水滸傳 10回 (存2回)” and “忠義水滸傳 100巻100回 (存98巻98回)” held by the Graduate School of Letters
[Water Margin (Chinese: 水滸傳; pinyin: Shuǐhǔ Zhuàn)]
These are the only copies that exist today other than the ones held by the National Library of China. Researchers presume that Takizawa Bakin, a Japanese writer of the early 19th century, read these exact copies.
“A text-book of physics. 5th ed., rev. / edited by A. Wilmer Duff (Blakiston, 1921)” held by YITP
Dr. Hideki Yukawa, a Nobel Laureate in Physics in 1949, used this textbook when he was a student at the then Third High School (Daisan Koto Gakko) and kept it by his side even after he became a researcher. The book has many notes and annotations by his hand in the margin.
“湖中産物圖證” Kochu sanbutsu zusho held by CER
This book is vital in the research of the history of biology in Japan, because it is presumed to be the first illustrated book of aquatic life in Lake Biwa. It includes all the species of carps and crucians, as well as aquatic life other than fish and shellfish, such as an otter. Its beautiful colors are still vivid.
