By Various Masters of Chinese and Japanese Schools of Painting, beginning with the 10th Century and ending with the 19th Century, including specimens by 
RIRIOMIN, SESSHIU, SESSON, MOTONOBU, TANYU, KOYETSU, SOTATSU, KORIN, KENZAN, HOITSU, OKIO, HOKUSAI and Various other Masters:--

400 Kakemono, many of which are in pairs.  
80 Screens, many of which are in pairs.
30 Panels.

By Various Potters of the Far East and Central Asia, including Chinese, Japanese, Coreans, Persians, Arabians and others as yet unidentified:--

950 pieces of Pottery.

Also a small group of ancient Chinese and Japanese Bronzes, a few early Japanese and Corean Wood-Carvings and some lacquer by Koyetsu, Korin and Ritsuwo.

These several collections include specimens of very widely separated periods of artistic development, beginning before the birth of Christ and ending to-day.

No attempt has been made to secure specimens from unsympathetic sources, my collecting having been confined to American and Asiatic schools.  My great desire has been to unite modern work with masterpieces of certain periods of high civilization harmonious in spiritual and physical suggestion, having the power to broaden aesthetic culture and the grace to elevate the human mind.
