The assistance and cooperation of many colleagues, collectors, and supporters in Japan and the United States have brought this exhibition and catalogue to fruition. First and foremost we want to thank the individual and institutional lenders for their willingness to part with their treasures for the duration of the exhibition. We express our gratitude to those who provided funding for the catalogue and exhibition, including all of the members of the East Asian Art Committee, chaired by Maxine S. Lewis, and co-chaired by Joan Thalheimer. The research and planning for the exhibition began many years ago, and the numerous names on this list of collectors, colleagues, and institutions reflect the process.
