Inoue Kaoru collection

Overview
  • These are materials (181 items) related to the biography of Inoue Kaoru (1836-1915), the respected statesman who contributed to the Meiji Restoration: drafts of the biography, materials collected during the writing and compilation of the biography.
  • These were originally considered to be a part of the drafts/materials of 世外井上公傳/(segai Inoue ko den) (Naigai Shoseki, 1933-1934), but recent studies have indicated that the materials were more likely to be collected for 明治初年ノ財政ト井上公/(Meiji shonen no zaisei to Inoue ko), which was planned prior to Segai Inoue-Ko Den.
