A Near Fine copy in a Good DJ. Extremely scarce in any condition. The Hakkaku Art Museum in Kobe Japan contains a significant collection of old Chinese art including archaic Chinese bronzes. The original collection was that of Jihei Kano the museum's founder. He became expert in the art of the Nara period in Japan and consequently in the relics of the Sui and T'ang Dynasties of China. Mr. Kano began collecting early in the 20th century when a great number of the ancient tombs of the T'ang Dynasty were excavated at Lo-Lang also known as Lo-Yang in present-day North Korea. During that ancient dynasty Lo-Lang was under Chinese control. Many of the gold silver and bronze objects first collected by Mr. Kano were documented in the 1930 publication Hakkaku-Cho. He subsequently acquired relics from Yin Dynasty tombs. In 1935 to preserve his treasures he established the Hakkaku Art Museum. To commemorate the opening of the museum he published Hakkaku Kikkinshu Hakkaku Collection for Bronzes. In the years after opening the museum Mr. Kano added relics from the Yin and Chou Dynasties as well as from the Period of the Warring States. To commemorate his 90th birthday in 1951 he selected 60 objects from his collection and published them in the present volume. The objects illustrated mainly are old bronzes of the Yin Dynasty and applied art objects of the T'ang Dynasty. The Hakkaku Art Museum also contains a wealth of objects from the period of the Warring States the middle of the Chou Dynasty and the Han and Six Dynasties. <br/> <br/> Hakkaku Art Museum hardcover

Bouillane est un militaire et explorateur français Officier de la Légion d'honneur (commandant). Émile Antoine Henry de Bouillane est issu de la plus ancienne noblesse du Dauphiné, en France. Fils de Henri Louis de Bouillane de Lacoste (1821-1888) et d'Emilie Morin, il est né le 14 janvier 1867 à Montélimar (Drôme, France). Il obtient son baccalauréat en sciences en 1885. Par la suite, il part pour Lyon où il s'engage volontairement dans l'armée pour une durée de cinq ans. Il entre à l'École spéciale militaire de Saint-Cyr, dont il sort sous-lieutenant en 1887. Il sert ensuite durant sept ans dans le 22e bataillon alpin de chasseurs à pied (22e BACP) stationné à Albertville en Savoie. Il devint rapidement Chef de Bataillon au 130e régiment d'infanterie. Il fait alors des rapports appréciés sur ses missions : on le signale aussi comme étant un très bon alpiniste et un excellent dessinateur. Il poursuit sa formation entre 1890 et 1893 à l'école de gymnastique de Joinville-le-Pont (Val-de-Marne, France), et en Suède où il étudie les sports d'hiver et la gymnastique. En 1891, il entreprend un voyage à Jérusalem, puis il sert en 1894 en Algérie dans le 2e régiment étranger d'infanterie durant une période de sept mois. Entre 1895 et 1897, il sert dans la Légion étrangère en Indochine (Tonkin et Annam) comme officier du renseignement et est chargé en 1899-1900 avec Hippolyte Enselme d'une mission d'exploration de la Mandchourie. Promu Chevalier de la Légion d'honneur le 17 septembre 1901, il est chargé d'une étude sur la prolongation du Transsibérien à travers la Mandchourie. Il parcourt ensuite pendant plusieurs années la Perse, le Béloutchistan, l'Himalaya, l'Afghanistan, le Pamir, et finalement la Mongolie où il visite et fait des relevés de nombreux sites archéologiques. Il est fait Officier de la Légion d'honneur le 7 juin 1912. Il est décédé en 1937 à Montélimar (Drôme, France). Il demeurera célibataire sans enfants.
