Asian Collection
From a Neolithic Chinese storage jar to a contemporary Japanese Kutani vase, Joslyn's collection offers a 4,000-year overview of Asian civilization, including the evolution of Buddhist sculptural art and a presentation of a Chinese scholar's studio. Of particular significance is an extraordinary 18th-centery (Kang-xi) eight-panel carved red lacquer screen. Highlighted are the cultures of China, Japan, Korea, India, Tibet, and Southeast Asia.
