He often collaborated with institutions like the Tokyo National Museum and Nara National Museum for exhibitions, sharing his extensive collection of fine art with the public through museums. An example of this is the Cizhou Kiln White Glaze Basin he donated to the National Palace Museum, which was exhibited at the Tokyo National Museum in 1961 and the Osaka City Museum of Fine Arts in 1978. After these artworks were returned to Buyantang, Sakamoto Goro retained the temporary labels they used during their museum displays. The items being auctioned in this event are from Sakamoto Goro's personal collection, which our auction house diligently collected from a close friend of Sakamoto Goro in Tokyo, Japan. Some of the items in this auction are extensively documented in a beautiful illustrated book titled Illustrated Guide to Chinese Ceramics from Buyantang, which includes detailed descriptions of patterns, dimensions, and bears the Buyantang seal. Some of the ceramics mentioned in this book were previously exhibited at the National Museums, and the labels from these exhibitions are still preserved within the book. He graciously provided us with a beautiful Illustrated Guide to Chinese Ceramics from Buyantang book to share with everyone.
