某日本友人，老矣，有辞去社长之意，叹曰：“真想在樱花树下读岩波文库呀！”樱花之于日本人，似无须多说，想说的是岩波文库。该文库“出版者的话”是一篇名文，有云：岩波文库的出版“是要把那些有生命的不朽书籍从少数人的书斋和研究室里解放出来，遍布街头，与民众为伍。 Some Japanese friends, old men, there is the resignation of the president of Italy, sighed: “I really want to read in the cherry tree rock library!” Sakura in Japan, it seems unnecessary to say, I would like to say Iwanami library. The library’s “publisher’s words” are a famous saying that goes on: “The publication of Iwabe’s library” aims to free life’s immortal books from the minority’s study and research labs, all over the streets and with the public.
