"The largest donations of works in Japanese came from the Soka Gakkai International (a worldwide organisation of lay Buddhists). In succession to an earlier gift of 987 volumes made in 1979, in the period under review two further substantial donations were received: 2,300 volumes in 1988 and 6,700 volumes in 1989.
