Sakamoto Goro made several significant donations of Chinese ceramics, bronzes, and other artifacts to institutions such as the Tokyo National Museum, Nara National Museum, National Museum of China, and the National Palace Museum in Taipei. 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.

Moss Ltd., Escape from the Dusty World - Chinese Paintings and Literati Works of Art, London, 1999, no.83. Paul Moss notes that there are two varieties of Songhua stone, the purple and green variety from Liaoning province, and the purer green Songhua from Jilin province. The Qing expansion to the north gave access to the quarries of both Songhua stone varieties. Objects made of Songhua stone were rare and were reserved virtually exclusively for imperial use. They comprise inkstones but also a small number of table screens such as the present example, see Jane Chi Jo-hsin, A Special Exhibition of Songhua Inkstones, Taipei, 1993, who illustrates 89 inkstones and two desk screens in both types of Songhua stone from the Imperial collections.
