Abstract

Boegbeeld in de kelder schetst de bewogen geschiedenis van de gevarieerde archeologische collectie van KU Leuven. De eerste professor archeologie in ons land, kanunnik Edmond Reusens, bouwde vanaf 1864 een didactische collectie archeologie uit in het Maria-Theresiacollege. In de eerste helft van de 20e eeuw werd de verzameling succesvol uitgebreid dankzij de inspanningen van René Maere, Raymond A.G. Lemaire en Fernand Mayence, hoogleraren in respectievelijk de christelijke archeologie, architectuurgeschiedenis en klassieke archeologie. De verwoesting van de historische inboedel van de Universiteitsbibliotheek bij aanvang van de Eerste Wereldoorlog, werd immers grotendeels gecompenseerd door Griekse schenkingen, Duitse restituties en eigen aankopen voor de archeologische collectie. Tijdens het interbellum verwierven de musea voor christelijke en klassieke archeologie een ereplaats in de Universiteitshal. Ze werden een waar uithangbord, een ‘boegbeeld’, van de Leuvense alma mater. In de decennia die hierop volgden, verloor de collectie echter geleidelijk aan haar glans en toen de universiteit na 1968 werd opgesplitst, werden de stukken gelijk verdeeld. Maar zelfs vanuit de kelders en gangen van de faculteit Letteren, waar het Leuvense deel uiteindelijk belandde, bleef de collectie haar oorspronkelijke didactische rol vervullen. Tot vandaag blijft het Didactisch Museum Archeologie met haar rijke en verscheiden collectie knipogen naar de wereldgeschiedenis.

Abstract

Companion to the exhibition “Japan’s Book Donation to the University of Louvain”, KU Leuven University Library, 28 October 2022 - 15 January 2023With more than 3,000 titles in almost 14,000 volumes, the 1920s Japanese book donation to the University of Leuven/Louvain constitutes an invaluable time capsule of Japan’s pre-modern culture in all its diversity and richness. A century on, the time is right to take a new look at its contents, as well as its history and the political, social and cultural context surrounding the donation. To commemorate its centenary, the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (KU Leuven) and the Université catholique de Louvain (UCLouvain) have joined forces to set up a special exhibition under the title “Japan’s Book Donation to the University of Louvain. Japanese Cultural Identity and Modernity in the 1920s” (October 2022–January 2023), at the University Library of KU Leuven.The present book has been compiled for the occasion of the exhibition, to serve as a durable guide to the magnificent book donation and its historical background, and as a reference for further research in the future. In five essays by historians of politics, media, culture, and arts of Japan, it offers a richly illustrated overview of the history of the donation and its wider historical context, providing illuminating insights into the vibrant 1920s in Japan, its politics, society, and popular culture. The reader is further invited to explore a sample of 65 remarkable and rare items from the donation, which were carefully selected for inclusion in the exhibition and are provided here with a detailed description. Moreover, the reader is introduced to 41 representative items, including visually captivating commercial and political posters related to Japan’s modernity in the 1920s, which represent mass culture, progress, and tensions, and highlight both imperial ambitions and a willingness to contribute to international cooperation.
