One of the most highly regarded art collectors in Japan during the post-World War II period was Takayuki Masaki (1895-1985). His collection, which he accumulated in just one generation, consists of approximately 1,300 objects, including three Japanese National Treasures, and thirteen Important Cultural Properties. In 1968, the Masaki Art Museum was established in Osaka in order to exhibit his collection and make it available for research.
Many of the highly regarded pieces of the Masaki Collection are ink paintings and calligraphy. And this collection also includes a very highly regarded collection of aesthetic objects related to tea ceremony, including the Imperial Cultural Property, “Portrait of Sen-no-Rikyu.”
