Details of a famous art collection—owned by the Japanese businessman Kojiro Matsukata and thought lost—have been found in an archive in London, The Asahi Shimbun reported on 7 September.
Amassed in Europe and Japan prior to World War II, many of the works in Matsukata’s collection were lost in a London warehouse fire in 1939. Speculation regarding exactly what had been lost has been rife ever since.
Works by Edouard Manet and Vincent van Gogh are on the list.
