Loss Of Old Jap Art Regretted At Harvard
The article reports that Harvard University officials expressed “dismay” over the loss by fire of eleven ancient Japanese paintings from the golden hall of Hōryū-ji Monastery, one of Japan’s famous cultural sites. In response, Harvard placed full-scale reproductions of the paintings on display in the central court of its Fogg Museum of Art.
