This exhibition and catalogue would not have been possible without the assistance and cooperation of many collectors, colleagues, and enthusiasts in Japan and the United States. Our generous lenders and funders are acknowledged elsewhere, but we would like to express our deep gratitude to all of them as well. We have been fortunate in having an exceptional group of scholars, translators, editors, designers, and supporters who have contributed their myriad skills and knowledge to this catalogue.

The list of institutions and individuals who have allowed us access to collections, introduced us to other collectors, and provided help with research materials is long and reflects the fact that this project began more than five years ago. In Japan, the special cooperation of the Tokyo National Museum was graciously provided by its able staff members: Nozaki Hiroshi, Director, Kito Satomi, Maruyama Naokazu, Matsubara Shigeru, Matsumoto Nobuyuki, Matsushima Masato, Mishima Takao, Nishioka Hiroshi, Ono Mayumi, and Shimatani Hiroyuki. The Osaka Municipal Museum of Art afforded special assistance, and we thank Mino Yutaka, Director, Asaka Hiroshi, Doi Kumiko, and Yumino Takayuki. Tōma Hiroshi, Vice Director of the Iwami Art Museum, and Noguchi Takeshi of the Museum of Kyoto also gave generously of their time and advice, as did Soejima Mikio, Director, and Tsutatani Noriko of the Shimane Art Museum.
