One of the old photos handed down from Ishikawa Teacher’s School to Kanazawa University. This item is the photo of Akagarasu Library storeroom constructed in the schoolyard of elementary school affiliated with the teacher’s school. In 1947, the Buddhist priest and scholar AKEGARASU Haya (1877-1954) of Myotatsu Temple (Hakusan City) donated about 50,000 books to the Ishikawa Teacher’s School, and the library was constructed for them in 1948. This photo vividly shows the building at the time. Akegarasu Library was handed down from the Ishikawa Teacher’s School to Kanazawa University and transferred to Kanazawa University Library on the Kakuma campus in 1989; it is still used by many people.
