Tanabe City is now preparing to establish 'Minakata Kumagusu Institute * (working name)' in 2006 on the basis of the Minakata collections in the old Minakata residence. These catalogues are to be used as the lists of books and collections housed in the Institute, besides being expected to offer an essential key to the study of Minakata Kumagusu for researchers and readers.
