Footnotes
Yamanaka & Co. were preeminent Asian art dealers in New York, acknowledged by the Met as one of the main sources of its early Asian art collection. The seizure and enforced liquidation of the stock was part of a programme of closures of Japanese-American businesses during World War II. A fourth volume of garden sculptures was also issued.
