In 2007, Stony Brook University opened the Tentaroh Inoh Collection in Japanese Studies, which was generously donated by the late Professor Tentaroh Inoh (1915-2003), a celebrated historian and collector of rare books. The impressive collection comprises approximately 70,000 volumes on a diverse range of topics, including history, literature, philosophy, anthropology, archeology, religion, and political science, as well as a wealth of reference books, journals, and maps. The collection serves as a valuable resource for students and scholars of Japanese studies, providing unique insights into Japan's rich cultural heritage and intellectual traditions. Part of this collection is placed in Frank Melville Jr. Memorial Library N4065 as a special collection.
