Description

Kenzo Okada (1883-1944)，founder of the Hakodate City Library，began to manufacture candles in 1906. When he decided to use domestic raw materials，he found difficulty in finding literatures on them. This experience made him realize the need of the public library and begin to dedicate the rest of his life to it. <br> Actually，Kenzo Okada had another dream in his life: establishing of the Hakodate Museum. Surprisingly few people know this fact，but Okada thought that the library and the museum were inseparable. <br> In this study I would like to pursue a research into his vision of museum and his utterances for realizing it.
