the midst of the general furore over
Japanese art that has prevailed these
last few years, very little has ever been

amateurs have been aware that it has
claims to their consideration.
The exhibition of Chinese and Iapa-

far as is known. the first of its kind
ever made in America. A number of
articles secured at the Yamanaka and
Matsuki sales have already thus been
put on view. Some of these specimens
date back to the Sung or Ming dynas-
