Sen-oku Hakuko Kan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sen-oku Hakuko Kan is located in Kyôto, Japan and houses a large collection of Chinese bronze vessels, Chinese and Japanese mirrors, and a few Chinese bronze Buddhist figures. The collection was brought together by Sumitomo Kichizaemon VII before his death in 1926. It is credited with being one of the greatest collections of Asian bronzes in the world due to the collection's quality and the variety of its more than 500 pieces.[1]
