Still the representation shows well the strength of Cleveland. Japanese art has been part of the museum since its opening in 1916, but it is important to note that by far the greatest part of this magnificent assembly was acquired by The Cleveland Museum of Art's current and preeminent Director and Curator of Oriental Art, Dr. Sherman E. Lee. Curator since, 1952, Director since 1958, Dr. Lee, together with his colleagues Michael R. Cunningham and Ursula Korneitchouck , wrote the catalogue. Dr. Lee made the selection of works of art to be included." excerpt from the foreword by Rand Castile, Director, Japan House Gallery. Good/No Jacket.
