Masterpieces of Japanese and Chinese Ceramics―Rediscoveries in the Collection
It was in 1910 that Idemitsu Sazo (1885-1981) discovered the beauty of Chinese ceramics during his corporate expansion in Northeastern China. The fondness he nurtured toward such works eventually inspired him to collect precious ceramics and crafts. Under the guidance of internationally known researchers Koyama Fujio (1900-75) and Mikami Tsugio (1907-87), Sazo further aspired to enrich his collection. We hope you enjoy the best of the arts and crafts works from the museum collection including Chinese, Japanese and East Asian ceramics as well as lacquer and bronze ware.
