Exhibition Catalogue of Japnaese and Chinese Antiques by Kyoto Municipal Museum of Art Staff

1st Edition . Soft cover. Very Good. Rare exhibition catalogue from early 1930s during Japanese invasion of China, here a vast quantity of antiques in exhibition of Chinese artifacts, text Japanese, string tied, softcover, displays screens, painting, scrolls, ceramics, household implements, unpaginated, about 130pps w/two ties. Uncertainty whether Municipal Museum which opened its doors in early 1930s was main site of this exhibition. The catalogue reads likes a gigantic antiques garage sales. Japanese invasions in China beginning 1900 and after1931 yielded vast amounts of stolen loot (pictured here?) from private homes, museums, shops which Japan wished to sell to European and American museums, private collectors and dealers to help pay for their ongoing Asian war. Rare.
