The National Diet Library (NDL)(国立国会図書館,Kokuritsu Kokkai Toshokan) is the only national library in Japan. It was established in 1948 for the purpose of assisting members of the National Diet of Japan(国会,Kokkai) in researching matters of public policy. The library is similar in purpose and scope to the United States Library of Congress.
The National Diet Library (NDL) consists of two main facilities in Tokyo and Kyoto, and several other branch libraries throughout Japan.
The Diet's power in prewar Japan was limited, and its need for information was "correspondingly small." The original Diet libraries "never developed either the collections or the services which might have made them vital adjuncts of genuinely responsible legislative activity." Until Japan's defeat, moreover, the executive had controlled all political documents, depriving the people and the Diet of access to vital information. The U.S. occupation forces under General Douglas MacArthur deemed reform of the Diet library system to be an important part of the democratization of Japan after its defeat in World War II.

Spruance) Fraternal dissection Detritus of a cold cook... medical waste Keech of those that were burked... medical waste Sweetmeats hung from rusted hooks ... medical waste Maladroit surgical jerks... we're medical wastes Lacerated midsections... medical waste Sucking wounds fillling lungs... medical waste Our avulsed intestines... medical waste Errorist physicians... we're medical wastes Our characters are mortally wounded Teetotaciously rent corporeal shells And now our blood and grue is self-exuded For from icarian heights we fell (solo: "Live By the Scalpel, Die..." by J.
