The Maeda Ikutokukai (前田育徳会) is a Japanese public interest corporation (公益法人) established on February 26, 1926, for the management and preservation of the cultural heritage of the Maeda clan, rulers of the Kaga Domain.
This collection of old books, ancient records and documents is open to researchers on request only.
[1][2] 22 National Treasures and 76 Important Cultural Properties of Japan are in possession of Maeda Ikutokukai.
[3] As the library does not have the display facilities of a museum, viewing requests are generally denied.
However, the Ishikawa Prefectural Museum of Art in Kanazawa contains an exhibition room devoted to the Maeda Ikutokukai collection in which arts and crafts items are permanently on display.
