JAPANESE
"There are fine examples
from Kyoto, Osaka, Edo, Nagoya, Gifu and Hakata, as well as unsigned and
unattributable pieces from the early 18th to the late 19th century. .
. By some standards the collection is not large. However, it
does not need to be, there is much to be said for quality, rather than quantity
and the present collection has the former in abundance."
Neil K. Davey

CHINESE
"It is a
tribute to the Cohen's artistic awareness that they have been able to assemble
so many works of art in these two areas, while maintaining the common bonds of
excellent workmanship, charming subject matter and, above all, that elusive bit
of 'magic' (for want of a better word) that turns an inanimate object into
something special and important."
