The Japanese Collection of Newman Studies

The Japanese Collection of Newman Studies was donated to the National Institute for Newman Studies in 2015. The collection is made up of books, articles, newsletters, handwritten letters, postcards and photocopies underpinning the history of the Japanese reception of the spirit and ideas of John Henry Newman. This article presents the work of the main donor of the collection, Reiko Nagakura (1935-2016), and a brief history of Newman Studies in Japan.
