Kano Jihei

...Iwasaki Yanosuke (1851-1909) and Koyata (1879-1945), the second and third heads of Mitsubishi, collected mainly ancient Oriental ceramics and paintings, and built a high-quality collection including the national treasure "Yohen Tenmoku tea bowl" and "Tale of Genji Screen" (by Sotatsu), which are now housed at the Seikado Bunko in Setagaya, Tokyo. Other Kansai businessmen include Fujita Denzaburo (1841-1912) of Osaka, who collected mainly ancient calligraphy, paintings, and tea ceremony utensils such as "Murasaki Shikibu Diary Illustrated Scroll" and "Yohen Tenmoku tea bowl" (now the Fujita Museum of Art), and Hyogo sake brewer Kano Jihei (1862-1951), who collected mainly Chinese antique copperware and ancient ceramics (now the Hakutsuru Museum of Art). In addition, the Sumitomo Museum houses the carefully selected and collected Chinese bronze artefacts, and when the holdings of Nezu, Hakutsuru and Sumitomo are combined, it forms the world's most exquisite collection of Chinese bronze artefacts in terms of both quantity and quality.
