Kanazawa Library

Japanese: 金沢文庫 - かねさわぶんこ

Around 1275, Kanazawa Sanetoki established this library on the grounds of his residence in Kanazawa-go (present-day Kanazawa Ward, Yokohama). The site of the residence is unknown, but it is adjacent to the current Shomyoji Temple, and the library was built as an independent building. It collected Japanese and Chinese books, and although the number of books is unknown, it is assumed to have been a considerable amount. Currently, 54 items and 380 books are considered to be from the former Kanazawa Bunko and are designated as national treasures and important cultural properties. After the downfall of the Hojo clan in 1333, many of the books were lost, and the library came under the management of Shomyoji Temple until the end of the Edo period. It was rebuilt within the grounds of Shomyoji Temple in 1897, but was destroyed in the Great Kanto Earthquake. Restoration work was completed in 1930, and the current Kanazawa Bunko, Kanagawa Prefectural, stores cultural properties handed down to Shomyoji Temple and Kanazawa Bunko.

1275年ころ，金沢(かねさわ)実時がその領地金沢郷（現在横浜市金沢区）の居館敷地内に設けた文庫。その居館跡は不明だが，現在の称名寺に隣接し，文庫も独立の家屋として建造された。和漢の書を集め，その蔵書数はわからないが，相当の量であったと推測されている。現在，旧金沢文庫の本とされ，国宝・重要文化財に指定されているのは54件380冊。1333年北条一族が滅んだ後多くの蔵書を失い，称名寺の管理に属して幕末に至った。1897年称名寺境内に再建されたが，関東大震災で破壊。1930年復旧事業が完成し，現在神奈川県立金沢文庫として称明寺，金沢文庫に伝えられる文化財を保管する。
