Yoshikawa Family's Collection
Source: Inheritance of Yoshikawa Family Collection
The Edo period, from 1603 to the end of 1867, was the last period of feudal society in Japanese history. It was during this period that the Yoshikawa family made a living by operating sake. Due to appropriate management, Yoshikawa family gradually grew up and developed into a member of the Japanese Kazoku chaebol at that time.
Meanwhile, the Yoshikawa family became very interested in works of art and began to learn and collect them, which also influenced their future generations of appreciating artworks. Since the Meiji Restoration in Japan, the ties between Japan and the Chinese civilization in the Central Plains have deepened day by day. And the Yoshikawa family's love and collection of Chinese artworks are extremely enthusiastic. They have collections of Chinese porcelain, bronze ware, calligraphy and painting, jade articles, stone carvings, Buddha statues and pottery, involving lots of aspects. They were the guest of major art clubs during the Taisho and Showa periods in Japan and collected a large number of art treasures, which made him an antique dealer with great taste and strength.
The Yoshikawa family immigrated to the United States in the late 1950s. Today, later generations of Yoshikawa family have published some of the treasures they have collected, which is a blessing for our collectors. Like sparkling pearls, these art treasures inheriting the history make people dazzling and want to worship.
