Synopsis

The Celje Regional Museum keeps an interesting collection of objects of East Asian origin. These include samurai equipment, a missionary scroll, lacquered objects, two elephant-shaped incense burners and two painted fans. What is the provenance of these items? Who were the collectors of these objects? When and how did they acquire them? What motivated them to do so? The temporary exhibition What Is a Samurai Doing Here? and the present catalogue attempt to answer some of these questions.
