Materials related to Shintaro Ohashi

Shintaro Ohashi (1863-1944) developed the publishing company Hakubunkan, founded by his father, Sahei Ohashi, and had a major impact on the political and business world from the Meiji era to the Showa era. The owner of a villa near Shomei-ji Temple contributed to the reconstruction of Kanazawabunko and Shomei-ji Temple and greatly contributed to the development of Kanazawa Ward. In addition, we have made a significant contribution to publishing and library activities through activities such as the Ohashi Library. Heizo Ito, the first director of the Yokohama City Library, also worked related to the Ohashi Library. At the Kanazawa Library, a lecture "Shintaro Ohashi and Kanazawa" was held in June 2018, the 70th anniversary of the Kanazawa Ward System, and a book list was created as reference materials. In addition, a commemorative lecture "Shintaro Ohashi and Library" was held in October 2020, the 40th anniversary of the opening of the Kanazawa Library. .
