The young aristocratic Swedish naval officer became fascinated by the breadth of artistic production in the region and continued to add to his collection back in Europe. In 1923, by then an admiral, he was appointed by the King of Sweden to travel back to Japan on a special mission, where he spent two months making many more purchases. This love of Asian art was later passed down to the admiral’s children and grandchildren, who have enriched the ensemble during their own visits to Japan, through specialist dealers and at auction houses throughout the second half of the 20th century, continuing into the early 21st century.
