We prepared a catalogue for books in Japanese binding kept in wooden boxes stored in a stack room of the Library of the Hiroshima Jogakuin University. These wooden boxes contain about 60 books in
Japanese binding, which are mainly books of Japanese Literature, Japanese Linguistics, and books on ancient practices and usages printed in the Edo and Meiji eras. The majority of these books were bought when this University set up the Faculty of Japanese Literature. Others include 40 books of the Koki Dictionary transferred from the Library of the Hiroshima Jogakuin Senior High School, and kakuhitsu literatures that I bought from old book stores. These books in Japanese binding kept in boxes have been scanned into digital form, so that they can be viewed using a personal computer. However, they have never been listed together in a
catalogue. This catalogue shows a brief bibliographical comment on each of all these books and has numbered the collection so that you can see the whole list in order. Furthermore, as regards the
kakuhitsu literatures, we read what is written in detail, and have added a list of examples. We should feel greatly rewarded for our effort, if this catalogue should prove helpful to the users of these books.
