The conference at which B. was speaking--the impetus for our trip to Japan--took place at Kanazawa Institute of Technology. Apparently the ratio of male to female students is as you might expect, so the girls have been given their own private floor in the library, where guys are not allowed to step foot--the whole floor is keycard entry only. These are the colorful mod chairs in the ladies' lounge...
This cool hand-made sign depicts a man who works in the media center--I love it!
More cool graphics. The image immediately above looks very much like the work of Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara...
The library's Popular Music Collection was truly awesome--lots of vinyl, and cool sort of space age-y chairs in which to listen to a record; a visor comes down so that you're only hearing the music coming from the turntable connected to your chair. They had Elvis...
And Frank...
And a very cool Wurlitzer jukebox, seen above.
After our tour of the library, the rest of the day was spent listening to the conference speakers--no photos of that!
