The people who played the most active role in establishing the library system in Japan in the Meiji period were mainly government officials, educators, financiers and Buddhist priests, namely intellectuals or influential people in the provinces. Many of the libraries established were subscription libraries based on membership systems.In 1885, members of Seii-kai established Tokyo Medical Library, the first medical library in Japan. Following this, in 1897, certain medical doctors established Nippon Medical Library in Tokyo. Other medical libraries soon appeared in Osaka, Kyoto and Hiroshima and other cities. All these medical libraries were well-stocked and were open, not only to members, but also to medical students and the general public.In the Taisho period these libraries came to form the basis of medical college libraries and, having fulfilled an important role, ceased to exist.
