The article introduces Professor Bin Kimura’s core keyword aida (the "in-between") and his conviction as a clinician who sought to see the person and life itself (by Dr. Kenshin Shimizu, one of Kimura's former students and supervisor of the archive). It also notes that as an enthusiastic fan of the Chunichi Dragons, Kimura would be delighted to see the library established in Nagoya (by Mr. Gen Kimura, Kimura’s son and co-supervisor). Furthermore, it highlights that during the period when Kimura served as a consultant at our hospital, study groups attracting numerous researchers were highly active (by Dr. Hiroaki Mizutani, Director of the Archive). The article concludes with the hope that young people, in particular, will sense Kimura's attitude toward scholarship through the heavily annotated books remaining in the collection (by Mr. Gen Kimura).
