Photographs of articles exhibited in honour of their Royal Highnesses the Crown Prince and Princess of Sweden at Baron Mitsui's residence, 1926.
An album of photographs by an unidentified photographer documenting an exhibition at the residence of Baron Mitsui in Tokyo. The photographs show various rooms wherein historical and cultural objects such as dolls, noh masks and costumes, musical instruments, weapons, jewelry, vessels, kimonos, Buddhist books and objects, screens, paintings, and scrolls are displayed on tables and on the walls. There are close-up views of objects such as stone artifacts unearthed in Korea, gold jewelry, ornaments, and tea vessels. A Japanese tearoom has been recreated in one room. Many of the objects and paintings displayed come from the collections of Baron Masuda and Dr. Dan. Exceedingly rare. Only one copy in OCLC (Getty Research institute).
