Ishikawa Takeyoshi Memorial Library
The Ishikawa Takeyoshi Memorial Library (石川武美記念図書館, Ishikawa Takeyoshi Kinen Toshokan) is a private library in Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan. The library first opened in December 1947 as the Ochanomizu Library (お茶の水図書館), for the exclusive use of women; men have been admitted since its reorganization in October 2003. The library is named after Ishikawa Takeyoshi (1887–1961), founder of Japanese publishing house Shufunotomo, who, in 1941, established the predecessor of today's Ishikawa Takeyoshi Memorial Library General Foundation (一般財団法人石川武美記念図書館), the change in name and legal form occurring in 2013.Since the 2003 reorganization, the library has had two sections, the Library of Modern Women's Periodicals (近代女性雑誌ライブラリー) and the Seikidō Bunko (成簣堂文庫), which specializes in classical Japanese literature and includes the Chikuhakuen (竹柏園本) and Mutō (武藤本) Collections.
