Geho Hashinato, President of the Fine Arts Academy of Tokio, who did much to gather the collection, has sent a fine landscape, Embroidery work takes the place of paintings in many of these works of att. Of these there are three particularly fine pieces of work, Two are floral pieces by Jata, of Kioto. They are scenes in a chrysanthemum garden. There is also_an immense screen by Nishimura, showing five seenes, the Kinkakuji of Kioto, and Hongwanji, and two garden scenes." Probably the best picture in the collection is by the famous artist, Beisen Kubota, of Tokio, which represents an eagle catching a rabbit. This list is not nearly complete, but names only some of the more notable of the exhibits. The novelty of the display, to the visitors here, and its marked merit, ensure that it will be one of the greatest centres of attraction during the Fair. After viewing the pictures, Mr. Tejima entertained his guests at a pleasant luncheon at the Japanese tea-house.
