The scrolls, entitled <em>\u9be8\u9b5a\u946c\u7b11\u9332 (Geigyo ransh\u014droku)<\/em>, were created in 1819 and depict the entire process of whale hunting during Japan\u2019s Edo period (1600&#8211;1868). The scrolls are hand-painted and over 400 inches long. Scrolls with the same title, but less colorful, are housed in the Tokyo National Museum.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_110151\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-110151\" style=\"width: 350px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/manoa-library-japan-scroll-2.jpg\" alt=\"Rare scrolls\" width=\"350\" height=\"350\" class=\"size-full wp-image-110151\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/manoa-library-japan-scroll-2.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/manoa-library-japan-scroll-2-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/manoa-library-japan-scroll-2-130x130.jpg 130w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-110151\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rare scrolls<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The scrolls will become part of the popular Sakamaki\/Hawley Collection located in <a href=\"http:\/\/manoa.hawaii.edu\/library\/research\/collections\/asia\/\">Hamilton Library\u2019s Asia Collection<\/a>. The collection has more than 5,000 items, mostly consisting of Ryukyu source materials collected by the late English journalist Frank Hawley (1906&#8211;1961). It is complemented by the personal collection of former <abbr title=\"University of Hawaii\">UH<\/abbr> professor Shunz\u014d Sakamaki. When Frank Hawley died in 1961, Sakamaki contacted the family and started negotiating the purchase of the collection. Aided by donations from the United Okinawan Association of Hawaii, the university was able to purchase Hawley&#8217;s Ryukyu collection. John Harvard Hawley was Frank Hawley\u2019s son.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Related <em>Â鶹´«Ã½News<\/em> story<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/2013\/02\/12\/scrolls-offer-glimpse-into-okinawas-past\">Scrolls offer glimpse into Okinawa&#8217;s past<\/a>, February 12, 2013 <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The majority of the items are in Japanese, but there are also materials in various European languages, Chinese and Ryukyuan language (Uchin\u0101guchi).
