TOKYO, Jan. 17 (AP) – A vault filled with ancient Japanese documents removed last spring from Yomei library in Kyoto by the late Prince Fumimaro Koney to avoid destruction by bombing was found by a United States army patrol at Izumo shrine. The patrol blasted open the vault door and found 60 ancient scroll diaries adviser to the original 14 volumes of Midokampaku Nikki written by Michinaga Fujiwara, ruling adviser to the throne during the Seian period [794 A. D. to 1186 A. D.], and other royal diaries and letters. The documents have been returned to Yomei library.
