"pname":"Collection Description",
"pvalue":"The University's collection of Japanese rare materials was largely built in the 1950s and early 1960s by Dr. Richard C. Rudolph, an emeritus Professor of the Dept. of Asian Languages and Cultures, and his colleague Prof. Ensh&#333; Ashikaga.  These materials are owned by three libraries: East Asian Library; Biomedical Library; and the Dept. of Special Collections.  The East Asian Library's holdings are particularly strong in Buddhism and illustrated books; many of these books originally belonged to Prof. Sh&#333;un Toganoo (1881-1953), an internationally renowned scholar of Esoteric Buddhism, and Mr. Julian Wright, a school teacher in the Los Angeles area, respectively.  The books, manuscripts and printed books held by the Biomedical Library are concentrated on the subject areas of medicine and natural history.  The Dept. of Special Collections holds close to 200 items of printed maps (Collection 1013; 990 Box 25) and some refined illustrated materials (Collection 170)."
