(14 Feb 2024) A private library of more than 1,000 medical memoirs recently opened to the public here.
The library is called “Tobyoki no Mori” (the forest of patients’ stories).
Its owner is Kazuhiro Kanai, the 67-year-old president of Seikosha, a publishing house that mostly produces memoirs about battles with illness and disability.
His goal is to collect books that are useful for disease patients and make them available to the public.
The Asahi Shimbun has more here.
