Abstract
Is it possible to research on the possession, circulation, and management of a library in the method of literary studies? I think it is. To demonstrate it, here I analyze the US Library of Congress's management of Japanese books that were confiscated during the occupation period. The analysis of the library management will help us to comprehensively understand why and how those books were confiscated. It will also show a useful way of access to them.
